Re: House Intel Committee Chair: US Is At ‘The Highest Threat Level We Have Ever Face
The group (The Islamic State) originated as Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad in 1999, which pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda in 2004. The group participated in the Iraqi insurgency, which had followed the March 2003 invasion of Iraq by Western forces. In January 2006, it joined other Sunni insurgent groups to form the Mujahideen Shura Council, which proclaimed the formation of the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) in October 2006.
Let's be very clear here about the timing and origin of the group now terrorizing the region. Obama's policies have certainly been beneficial to the group, but it was a Bush era development.

You are incorrect, we are at an elevated threat with the very group Obama allowed to come into existence, and then dismissed as the "jv" team. And they are growing the entire time.
And the threats continue...
