Massacres of the week; at least 65 killed in Tunisia and Kuwait

Exactly Kyriakos. ISIS just fill the void of authority we created. Unsurprisingly, many find that hard to grasp, but it's pretty direct and straightforward.

Lots of these ISIS guys are even former employees of Iraq that we made unemployed. There is even a reference to it on Game of Thrones.

I reported what they were covering at the top of the news hour at 12 PM on TV, not what they have posted to their websites.

And I don't have to watch Fox News to know how incredibly bad they are. Many others are more than willing to do so for me.

There are those who go on about trying to even defend an organization as obviously reprehensible as Fox News, despite not even taking the time to ascertain the truth for themselves.

Who is defending Fox News? Some people have an obsession with them and constantly bring them up and I just find it tiring since I doubt most of us on here even watch it.

There was no void while US troops were there, the viod only happened under President Obama's watch.

So the US army should remain in Iraq for decades?

And would that mean Iraq would be a free country?

They left mostly due to the constant urban warfare, which is largely what happens to an occupying force and all (regardless of what the average US soldier thinks he is doing there, which i am sure is not to occupy; he was still an occupying foreign army).

That invasion bred Isis you now see acting about.

Who is "obsessing"? Documenting their quite obvious lack of professionalism on numerous occasions while acting as the unofficial spokesperson for the entire Republican Party is hardly an "obsession". It is a public service.

If you don't care about them why are you continuing to mention it, even after I brought it to your attention that I was clearly not doing what you alleged?

If you document it too frequently when it's not the topic of conversation and everyone knows what they're like anyone then it does seem like an obsession. I don't actually think you're obsessed with them but I just mention it like, enough with the Fox News rant already.

The second part of your post doesn't really make sense to me.

Try rereading what I actually posted in this thread. I merely stated what they and the other cable news channels were reporting at noon regarding this topic.

It wasn't a "rant". It wasn't an "obsession".

And if you don't like what I post regarding Fox News or how frequently, too bad.

Obsession was a bit hyperbolic and it wasn't a full fledged rant either so I agree about that. I'm saying you, and not just you and not just in this thread bring up Fox News so often and it's tiresome.

I can't re-read what you posted because it looks like it was edited a couple times and I might have read it before the edit. At least the first post. Anyway it's not a big deal and I'm just saying you all probably give more importance to Fox News than any of us.

I didn't change anything regarding Fox News concerning your complaint. Insinuating I did is disingenuous at best.

Specifically, I was responding to this post by Phrossak by telling him how US cable news was handling the matter:

Nothing. I'm just mentioning some news here that was largely eclipsed by the news of the Court's decision.
