They've now successfully brought the war to our country.

Intelligence communities call this "blowback". We armed Sunni extremist groups to fight Assad, many of whom either declared allegiance to Isis or surrendered weapons to them.

Whichever government official decided to arm Sunni extremists should be fired immediately. There needs to be a congressional investigation into how Isis rose so rapidly.
