It wasn’t more than a few weeks ago that President Obama told us that ISIS was contained. Even leaving out last week’s massacre by radical Islamists in San Bernardino, it looks like the President was either lying or not paying attention. As Politico reports:
From Libya to Norway, the number of foreign fighters traveling to Syria and Iraq to fight for the Islamic State terrorist group has more than doubled in the last 18 months, according to a new intelligence report released Tuesday, suggesting that efforts to stem the tide of travel in that respect have not been successful.
The Soufan Group’s June 2014 assessment estimated that 12,000 people had traveled to Syria to fight for ISIL. In its new report, that number now stands at 27,000 to 31,000 from at least 86 different countries. From Libya, Tunisia and the country of Georgia to Brussels’ Molenbeek district, where the architect of the Nov. 13 Paris attacks lived, to Fredrikstad, Norway, the countries of origin run the gamut from traditional terrorist breeding grounds to more recent ones.
Is President Obama in denial, or just dishonest? What do you think?
