Cooking The Books On ISIS As Thousands Flee

The images from Hungary or that of the body of a small boy dead on a Greek beach

Break open a viewer’s heart as thousands are fleeing ISIS ‘s deadly reach

President Obama’s legacy of withdrawal of American might and refusing to lead

Has left a vacuum in the Middle East allowing ISIS to expand faster than rabgrass weeds

Obama has not a clue or worse not a shred of will

To this jihadist cancer growing among us try to kill

Worse when it comes to ISIS his top advisers may be cooking the books

Like the body counts of the Vietnam War honesty to the public forsook

The mantra of the White House from the day of Benghazi has always been

GM survives, bin Landen has died and in the war against ISIS we win

His legacy is one of dishonesty, deception and outright lies

Now we are seeing the fall out as real refugees must flee or die

Putin knows that Obama in confronting terror is a feckless poltroon

His advisers from Rice on down have been shown to be total buffoons

Putin is flooding Syria with military aid and perhaps troops

Since Iran pulls Assad’s strings do not be surprised if Putin prior Soviet influence in the Middle East recoups

With our debt nearing 19 trillion dollars as we look more and more like Greece

Our entitlement mentality of Obama means we are almost out of options for this decline to cease

A “deal” with Iran the terms of which are clouded and obscured with side deals

So typical of this president whose instinct is always to the truth from us conceal

Charles Martel of Tours who stopped the Moors’ invasion dead in its tracks

Must be rolling in his grave as millions of Muslims are fleeing to take Europe back

This refugee crisis will end only if Obama commits to destroy ISIS with troops on the ground

No more gnat like air strikes which have proven to be ineffective and unsound.
