This time Obama is right. There were reports coming out of Turkey a few days ago that Isis might try to advance into Turkish border towns, If this happens then where will they go from there ..into Europe ?
These guys seem to have an influence not just in Syria and Iraq but even here in the UK

These guys need to be stopped and quickly because as somebody else said I think they will cause mayhem in the future around the world if they are left to grow even bigger than what they are now. |
Everyone wants to say bogey man, bogey man, but really ISIS or ISIL which ever you chose are the most organized group we have seen yet.
These guys move in and take over not just like the Taliban did by ruling with fear, but these guys actually take over and start running the govt services and collecting taxes. They have actually taken over power generation in parts of Syria and are forcing Assad to buy power from them.
These guys aren't the typical goat herders that live in mud huts or caves. These guys are well financed because they take over as the actual govt in what ever areas they move into. They are far from stupid. It's just like when they attacked Iraq, the first thing they did was start moving all the captured equipment back to Syria.
