All the rats are leaving the sinking ship. David Gregory of NBC in an interview with Dick Durbin:

“Is the problem that the Obama administration — wanting to be something other than President Bush – got out of the business of confronting terrorism on a big, global scale and just dealt with it in a more limited way?” he asked. “Is it an underreaction to the terrorist threat?”

Durbin tried to steer the conversation specifically back to Iraq, but Gregory cut him off. ”I’m talking about the terrorist threat!” he said. “I’m talking about fighting terrorism.”

“The Obama team said, ‘We are not in the business of a global fight against terror, we’re fighting al-Qaida in limited forms,” the NBC host continued. “This is a big, expansive terrorist threat that has amassed on his watch.”

And Ron Fournier of the liberal National Journal called him the Underestimater in Chief.

On Fox News Sunday, the National Journal writer bemoaned the White House’s consistent underestimation of threats around the globe — particularly the Islamic State, an ultra-violent jihadist group sweeping through northern Iraq and attempting genocide.

“This is a president that underestimated [the Islamic State] — he called them jayvee,” Fournier said. “He underestimated what was going to happen after Libya. He underestimated Putin.”

“He’s been the Commander-in-Chief or the Underestimater-in-Chief,” he charged. “So I don’t want him to underestimate — we can’t afford the president to underestimate this threat.”

ISIS is more powerful than Al Qeda was on 9/11.
We are at the biggest risk today since 9/12.
The lefties here whined and cried that Bush ignored a vague memo in August 2001 ( and his golf, too, but I digress).

What about the specific threat that ISIS will see us in NYC?
Or that they will fly their flag over the White House?
Ralph posted yesterday that it already flies over Europe.

George Will pointed out on Fox yesterday that the argument for our invasion of Afghanistan was that it was too dangerous a threat to our homeland to allow such a country to be a free and open base for terrorists. And if Afghanistan was effectively a huge training camp for terrorists, what will the Islamic Caliphate be?

It can only be assumed that Obama will be content with an Islamic State that ceases to threaten the Kurds and the rest of Iraq, based on his goal of a solution with no victors and no vanquished.

It's more than just ISIS in Iraq.

Libya is blazing.
ISIS has taken over the seige in Syria.
Putin is flexing his muscles in the Ukraine.
China is not afraid to hack American Government computers.
North Korea spits at the U.S.

The truth is the mice of the world perceive that the cat is away.
Doesn't matter.
Obama is a tiger without teeth and they've sensed that for quite awhile.
Rightly or wrongly, the "bad guys" of the world are less inclined to strut their stuff in years when they "perceive" a stronger President in power.
Whether the Pres is stronger or not doesn't matter, but the perception must be there.
It ain't gonna happen with this weak tea bag.

ISIS has no borders - they will continue to move and slaughter.
The whole region is in danger.

Whoa!
Wait, this just in.......
