5. Here we go, let's beat on Obama for something that happened in Paris.

We don't have ground forces or air cover in FRANCE!!!!

And we don't know it was ISIS that perpetrated the attacks in Paris?

Sheesh, anything to put down Democrats, huh?

[former9thward]

7. And ISIS didn't bring down that Russian airliner either, right ...

It isn't Democrats trying to take credit for "containing" the "JV Team". It is Obama.

[George II]

8. I think you should read up on the definition of "contained".

Everyone else knows what it means.

[Kingofalldems]

14. No but you certainly attack Obama over what happened in France

but not a peep about the new 911 revelations.

[former9thward]

15. Cut and paste where I blamed Obama for Paris.

You won't, you can't, you are just trying to make other posters think I did that. Obama claimed ISIS is "contained". I pointed out it is not.

[Kingofalldems]
