AND.....
Auhh......can you hear the phone ringing Sarah,......THAT'S JOHN McCAIN!!!........
Its been six years since President Obama defeated John McCain in the 2008 Election and Sarah Palin wants everyone to know that she is sorry McCain lost. Oh, shes not taking responsibility or anything. Palin just thinks she speaks for the world when she says she owes America a global apology because according to her, John McCain should be president right now despite the fact that Obama won by a landslide. During an appearance on Hannity on Thursday, the Alaskan quitter attacked President Obama and his ISIS speech. After claiming that President Obama spends more time golfing than he does managing foreign policy, Palin began criticizing his remarks.

(14,177 posts)I have read that ISIL is a group of about 1,500 right now and that they say they can get 20,000 to 35,000 more fighters. We had over 100,000 troops there and in many cases cooperation with local people and still had trouble holding that many cities. But, maybe I am miss remembering something.

(14,177 posts)I do wonder about local cooperation. I have heard some locals are cooperating with who ever is fighting ISIL, but others like you saying they are getting cooperation. I suppose both can be true some places the locals are more welcoming and some would rather see them droned.
