Since the start of America’s war in Iraq — never before had the world heard of the now famous terror-cell known as ISIS. The group seemingly sprouted up overnight, and made a name for itself that has now exceeded the once popular Al Quaeda.
When directly addressed about the potential threat of ISIS to the safety and security of the United States — President Obama dismissed the ISIS threat by assuring the American people that ISIS posed no real threat to America.
“The analogy we use around here sometimes, and I think is accurate, is if a jv team puts on Lakers uniforms that doesn’t make them Kobe Bryant,”
Said President Obama.
He continued…
“I think there is a distinction between the capacity and reach of a bin Laden and a network that is actively planning major terrorist plots against the homeland versus jihadists who are engaged in various local power struggles and disputes, often sectarian.”
Since then — we have literally watched as this alleged “JV” team has utterly taken over not only key cities in Iraq, but also banks and oil refineries.
Their net-worth has now exceeded several billion dollars. (that’s some JV team!)
— they will not stop until the flag of Allah being flown over the White-house.
But shockingly, this was NOT the primary message.
The Leader of ISIS wanted America to know that they are NOT coming to America — because they are already here.
On August 9, 2014 — an image was uploaded to twitter from a PRO-ISIS twitter account that showed the flag of ISIS in front of the White-House.
Many argue that had the president taken this threat seriously (as all threats to the homeland should be) — the United States could have taken preventive measures (such as not evacuating Iraq, drone strikes, etc) to prevent its spread. But like the “Disease” that it is — It has already killed thousands of innocent people and forced hundreds of thousands to flee into the desert for their lives (Christians). The people are given a choice, they can either convert to Islam — or die.
Will America address this issue before its too late? Or will we ignore the underlying problem until — like Iraq — the ISIS flag is flying over the Nation’s capitol?
