The Obama White House made clear on Thursday that the United States is in no way “responsible” for defending Iraq from the Islamic State.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told Fox News: “The United States is not going to be responsible for securing the security situation inside of Iraq.”
“Our strategy is to support the Iraqi security forces in doing what we will not do for them,” he added. “The United States is prepared to train them, to equip them, and to back them on the battlefield with coalition military air power as they take the fight to ISIL in their own country.”
The administration’s policy clarification comes amid allegations from many within the intelligence community that the United States had advance knowledge of an imminent ISIS attack on Ramadi and did not act upon that intelligence.
The Islamic State now controls the majority of the city, after Iraqi troops fled the battlefield during the terror group’s assault, according to reports.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
So the Regime is admitting his “ISIS Strategy” is a 100% certified failure. Which was the plan from the start.
They just flatly admitted they are not actually trying to fight isis. It’s been a lie. We all knew it. They just admitted it.
It isn’t our responsibility to defend Iraq, if we hadn’t gone in and removed the only person that could defend Iraq.
Not surprising, those were Bush's dead soldiers.
(That how the SOB thinks)
As a matter of principle, we don't spend wealth and blood waging war in and for other nations because we are friendly, or nice, or loving, or altruistic, instead we do so out of our own self-interest.
At least that's the idea.
This White House is not responsible for anything. Thank You Congress.
The answer to a question that isn’t being asked.
No matter how they word things, we want to know if our nation’s military and strategic goals and objectives are being achieved in Iraq by this administration, or not?
What use is air support if no one is allowed to pull the trigger?
AFP is FUBAR under POSOTUS
What else could anyone reasonably expect from President Pole Dancer and his First Tranny?
Probably the “We aren’t responsible” came about right before heading off to yet another expensive outing on our dime.
It’s all a charade. The muslim in chief is stalling, buying time for ISIS to grow.
ISIS is Saudi Arabia's foreign strong arm policy when they can't get their way through negotiations, buy outs, etc...
Why else would ISIS by-passed Saudi Arabia... and attacked Yemen? It's makes no military logistic sense to spread your tiny Army small and wide from a military perspective unless Saudi is funding them.
It's also explains the reason ISIS is coming over here. In the hope that the U.S. sends the military to Syria. ISIS even admits that.
“This White House is not responsible for anything. Thank you Congress.”
Indeed.
Wow!
Stay with me.
Grimace.
Start shaking your head from side to side.
Look down and say softly to yourself,
Wow.
It became our responsibility once we went into Iraq and knocked off our government.
The Regime left too early and now all the men that died and got injured was for nothing but the stinking politicians playing their stinking political games.
Cops aren’t responsible for defending U.
Uh, Congress has proven themselves to be irresponsible wrt their Constitutional responsibilities.
