for over a year. Unfortunately for them, a Kerry gaff allowed Russia to step in with a diplomatic solution. That, and the sarin gas attacks were shown to be a false-flag operation by Turkey.

Not to be deterred, the Obama Administration remained patient until they could concoct another excuse to start bombing people. ISIL proved to be the perfect patsy.

But wait - there's more! Now we learn about the Khorasan Group, and they are an imminent threat.

BULLSHIT. ALL OF IT.
