You might want to ask Obama why he left them out in 2011.

But considering the existing bullshit rollercoaster, you ask why MORE countries weren't banned ?

I'd rather ask Congress, since they were the ones who wrote the list.

Sec-State under the previous administration was tasked by Congress and they came up with the list.

See section (12) Not present in Iraq, Syria, or any other country or area of concern

It is unbelievable how bad the media is now at doing their job of informing the public.

Why should anyone ask President Obama why he left them out in 2011? The list was a list of countries that wouldn't or couldn't provide the enhanced background data we requested. People on those listed countries were scrutinized more, absent extra information from their home countries.
