Republicans Forced To Admit That Obama Approved Raid On ISIS Was Successful



By Jason Easley - May, 17th, 2015

Republicans like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) have been forced to admit on the Sunday shows that the Obama approved raid on ISIS in Syria has been successful...

McConnell and Rubio are two of the Republicans who tried to sabotage President Obama’s foreign policy with their letter to Iran, so for Republicans to not only admit the mission was a success, but also praise the president is something that has been virtually unseen during the Obama presidency.

Reports are that the US raid in Syria has killed 32 ISIS members including four leaders. The symbolic message that the raid sends is that terrorists are not safe anywhere on this Earth. It takes an unspeakable amount of leadership for the President to authorize a mission where special operations forces are going into a territory where they have no allies on the ground.

The courage showed by those who carried out the mission is immeasurable, but they wouldn’t have been there if Obama would not have approved the mission. As much as it must drive Republicans crazy, even they are admitting that President Obama has been successful.

Thanks for the post, Freshwest. Glad to see this was covered on the MSNBC shows yesterday, but noticed not a word on the MSM evening news. Kudos to our President!

"Trojan Horse" indeed. Ugh!

Well, not a little, probably a lot!

The stupidest job in the entire world is being the #2 leader of ISIS.
Because Obama is constantly going after the #1 leader . . . and that means, before very long, #2 will become #1, and then the whole cycle starts over again, picking out a brand new #2.
