Obama is officially sweating bullets because the US resonates throughout this entire ISIS issue,or should say ISIL.The CIA has it's thumb print all over this one.Our reputation has already suffered a black eye over the NK hacking accusation.
8:23 This is the calling card of the NWO which pretty much is the puppet master of Obama and pals (CIA). Ordo Ab Chao: Order out of chaos, create the monster then create the wonderful hero to the rescue. Except this time I think Frankinstien kills the creator.
Jordan needs to use Nucular weapons and make IS a parking lot!
11:12 - They already tried that with a military strike in which they killed an American Hostage.... It's weird how so many people are cheering their action even after they killed an American.
