While the U.S.-led coalition to defeat the so-called Islamic State has launched around 5,000 airstrikes against the extremist group, with Central Command posting daily updates on new airstrikes targeting the organization also known as ISIS or ISIL, several Republican politicians appear to believe that the U.S. is not at all engaging in a fight against group.
The same politicians will readily praise the leaders of Egypt and Jordan for launching airstrikes against the terrorist group, while then criticizing President Obama for not following in their footsteps, even though the U.S. is responsible for the vast majority of the airstrikes carried out by the anti-ISIS coalition. Of course, many Republicans and Democrats have expressed legitimate criticisms of the administrations strategy to defeat ISIS, but some Republicans are acting as if the administration is not at all engaged in fighting the group, whose momentum has been blunted since the airstrikes began.
As Jon Stewart noted, Fox News pundits deny the facts about Americas anti-ISIS airstrikes even when that fact is spelled out directly next to their face.

Remember, your average SITTING House member or Senator in the teaparty is literally a moron.
Ask any insider press people in DC who have been around for a while, they will tell you that it is astounding listening to these dipshits

The fact is ISIS is on the run, not about to ducking invade Italy, for fuck's sake.
Do not forget these are the same folks who will believe an image of Jesus appears in taco chips.
