ISIS has been on the move in Iraq and Syria for over a year.
ISIS controls large swaths of Iraq and Syria. This didn’t happen overnight.
In January ISIS captured Fallujah, Iraq.
In June ISIS seized Mosul.
Monday on CNN State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf beclowned herself yet again.
Harf told Wolf Blitzer:
What the president said, was ‘for a long time we’ve known about the serious threat of ISIL.’ But I think everyone, us, the Iraqis, even ISIL itself, probably, was surprised by how quickly earlier this summer they were really able to take territory in Iraq.
