Why you hate Murca? 
Kidding aside, I've wondered about the President likening ISIS to a junior varsity team in January 2014. Were the intelligence agencies not monitoring the rise of AQI and other components of ISIS? Were they monitoring them but lying to the President about the threat? Maybe allowing ISIS to organize and strengthen in order to get a new MIC revenue stream going?
Also, I'm afraid that if a much greater percentage of American families does not begin to have skin in the game, the neocons won't hesitate to use any excuse to start stupid wars for profit using the small percentage of poor families that do have skin in the game as fodder.
Maybe I'm too cynical.
