Pentagon: Iran Improving Cyber Abilities, Long Range Missiles Since Nuclear Deal

Donald Trump recently said that President Obama was the “founder” and Hillary Clinton ‘co-founded’ the Islamic State (ISIS). The word ‘founded’ was incorrect. What Obama and Clinton did is they enabled the creation of ISIS and enabled the meteoric rise and strength of Iran as America’s and the world’s greatest nuclear/cyber/Middle East threat.

There are at least two ways to enable an enemy.

  1. One is to ignore it until it amasses substantial military power as happened in the case of Germany prior to the Second World War. This is precisely what Obama did by characterizing ISIS as a ‘junior varsity’ which has now spread its influence around the world.
  2. The other way of enabling an enemy is by providing it with financial, economic and diplomatic support to allow it to amass destructive military power. This is precisely what the team of Obama, Kerry and Clinton have done.

Both former Secretary Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama have a mission accomplished banner flying over the Middle East.
