Don’t Blame Iraq on Obama Alone

---

Yep. I blame Hillary for a lot of this mess too.

[Secret Agent Man]

don’t forget effin Kerry.

[garjog]

“it was not Obama who agreed to the withdrawal schedule. It was President Bush.”

Assuming that we had a status of forces agreement with a secure base left behind.

[FatherofFive]

obama, hiLIARy and J Finning Kerry

The children are running the country. We need adults

[Romulus]

You can blame anyone except for the neocons. Especially those at National Review. They’re NEVER wrong.

[SeekAndFind]

So, we should never have invaded Iraq?

[dontreadthis]

was the release of the Gitmo 5 part of the SOFA?
just saying

[Missouri gal]

It is NOT ENOUGH to impeach Obama. He is the Commander in Chief and he is completely ape-s*** betraying us, betraying his obligation to protect uphold and defend. He must be relieved of command, as would be done for any general who has failed in his basic duties. Arrest, incarcerate and then charge him with treason. Impeachment can follow.

[Innovative]

I am deeply disappointed in Andrew C McCarthy -— let me just leave it at that...

Is Obama ghost-writing for him now?!

[Darksheare]

Andrew C. McCarthy forgets where the buck stops.
Who is the chief executive?
Who is the one ultimately responsible?
“The buck stops here”, does he remember where that sign sat?

[Psalm 144]

Heh. Well said.

[Hardastarboard]

it was not Obama who agreed to the withdrawal schedule. It was President Bush.

And 0bama had no ability whatsoever as President in the last six years to reverse that decision or change its course. None.

Premise rejected as complete bullsh!t

[Bryan24]

"Beginning in 2003, fatwas calling for violent jihad against American forces in Iraq were issued by influential sharia jurists, including Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi and Sheikh Abdulla bin Bayyah (who are now Obama administration consultants)."

The problem is that the US government will not treat Islam for what it is. Islam is a religion AND government rolled into one. Islam is not satisfied until ALL OTHER RELIGIONS are subjugated to Islam.

Islam should NOT be recognized nor protected as a religion in the US. Until we make that move, we will be losing the war against Islam.

[sickoflibs]

Yep, I think the same.

Its fun to pile on Obama and he deserves it.

But it was Bush's mess.
Invading, occupying and democratizing poor dysfunctional crapholes where they hate us was a bad idea,
sadly I believed Bush, Cheney, Rummy etc in the early 2000s.

[AllAmericanGirl44]

I’m wondering, how are 2 idiots who called for jihad on our men and women, serving our current CIC? Wth?

I don’t know, you’d think the muslims have enough to tangle with over on their side of the world, and just leave America out of it, blood thirsty evil freaks.

[Bryan24]

I’d like to hear Obama justify their service.

[dfwgator]

So, we should never have invaded Iraq?

If we never intended to stay their for at least twenty years, then yes, we should have never invaded. Arabs aren't capable of handling democracy.

[justa-hairyape]

The past is the past. There is no way in heck GWB would have done the following.

Send weapons and cash to Al Qeada terrorist in Syria.

Ignore the Iraqi's plea for help against terrorism.

Ignore the Iraqi demands for air strikes on the advancing terrorist columns.

Blame the Iraqi government for the large powerful ISIS Blitzkrieg.

Or ignore the Kurds warning about ISIS's actual plans over a year ago.

Also, it was the neocons who wanted to topple Assad.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Obama said “I” got the troops out of Iraq. You’re not saying he lied to us are you Andrew?
