Flynn’s testimony was made in February, before the Senate Armed Services Committee, reports Business Insider. It came four months before ISIS’ made its major offensive in northern Iraq, taking massive gains.

Jews are still in love with Obama. Our own Charlie Hall says he is a top five President of all-time. We truly are a stubborn and stiff-necked people. After all, what does it matter if the President attends less than half of his security briefings. Who needs security?

Maybe he can blame George Bush
its everyones fault except his… right
