  I can't believe how this story and conflict has basically been ignored and disappeared in the media and by this Admin. If only this was Benghazi maybe someone would care.

  I just doesn't have enough media pizzazz and not enough gifs or memes to make it marketable.  And it's not about US (even though it is!)

  It's because this administration commits multiple gaffes a day. Honestly, this seems like a decade with all the stupid shit they've done since.
  
  Glad it's back in the news because it is important.
