On June 12, as al Qaeda forces marched toward Baghdad, John McCain spoke on the Senate floor. Noting that the al Qaeda affiliate ISIS has conquered a third of Iraqi territory, has overrun the city of Mosul, has captured abandoned American equipment, and has stolen more than $400 million in cash reserves, McCain said that the enemies of the United States are on the verge of a strategic victory. Only a major course correction, McCain went on, might prevent the emergence of an al Qaeda state that stretches from eastern Syria to the outskirts of Baghdad. Its time that the president got a new national security team, he said.
Criticism of that teamof Obamas National Security Adviser, his Secretaries of Defense and State, and his top foreign policy speechwriterhas been mounting. This is what happens when hacks take over foreign policy, Kim Strassel wrote last week in a devastating Wall Street Journal column. The criticism is bipartisan. Col. Jack Jacobs, a NBC military analyst, said the other day that the Obama team most decidedly is weak, and isolated, and a lot of decisions it makes are either ill considered or do not consider everything that needs to be considered. David Ignatius is blunt: The administration, he said on Morning Joe, is going to have to step up.

Islamic terrorism has been going on since the seventh century. There have been fits and starts as it regroups, rearms, and retools, but it keeps coming back.
Islam is to blame for Iraq, Iran, Syria, Egypt, Libya, terrorism..., and all the dysfunction in the Mideast. Islam sucks, and it always will, just like it always has, no matter how the West tries to cut it up; package it, control it, or sell it. McCain is to blame for Obama, and they both suck as bad as Islam.
If there are rag tag misfits marching towards Baghdad and the world is watching with baited breath why are there no marches on Washington yet? What is ISIS maybe a couple of thousand at best? We have millions of people fed up with our government. What the hell is it going to take? Why isn’t Glenn Beck organizing some kind of Tea Party Rally on Washington like today?

I used to say something like this but it was either the reverse Midas Touch or the black Midas Touch. Everything Obama touches turns to crap.
The only thing more stupid than letting Iraq fall is letting Russia retake the Ukriane. Oh. Wait. Or allowing Libiya to be overrun by radicals. Oh. Wait.
First and last.
It is official, Jimmy Carter is NOT the USA’s worst president anymore.
Old rino idiot handed the muzzie the presidency when he told America that. He was a ‘fine family man’.
As I said Obama couldn’t run a lemonade stand in the middle of the Mojave desert on the hottest day of summer.
I blame the NWO (CFR) because they gave McCain the order to step back and let O Drama win the 2008 election.
