Opinion from the bewildered mind of Chuq
It is election time in case you missed the memo……ISIS is in the news so by extension it will be an election talking point……of Iraq will also and there have already been lots of announced candidates that have stepped into that pile of do-do.
Cruz, Bush, Santorum, Rubio et al have said that “mistakes” were made in the run up to the invasion of Iraq but that the Prez is to blame for the creation of ISIS…..that AQM had been destroyed by 2007 and because Obama would not leave a residual force in Iraq ISIS was allowed to rise.
First of all….there is NO one with half a brain that does not know that the 2003 invasion of Iraq was unneeded and just plain wrong. The more these GOP douches try to put the situation off on someone besides GW………the more pathetic they look.
Okay…..this is a yawner!
The Bush admin set the date of 2011 as time for US forces to leave the country…..Maliki would not guarantee immunity of US forces that remained behind and wanted us gone. He would not sign a “status of forces” agreement and because he wanted us gone…….we left.
AQM was not destroyed…..if it had been there would have been NO one left to re-name the group ISIS. That one should be self-evident….but then half a brain would be needed to make such an observation.
Since Obama was president when the group emerged then it is ALL HIS FAULT! HE CREATED ISIS! More bullshit disguised as logic!
“It was a mistake to invade Iraq in 2003″….is the new talking points and all the GOP candidates are using that explanation to answer the media’s questions…….but ISIS is Obama’s fault for not leaving troops in 2011…….now spend a little time exercising that tiny brain and think about that for a moment.
I have been hard on Obama for many of his policies and I do not approve of his handling the ISIS situation……but to pretend that everyone is clean because they admit to “some mistakes” being made in 2003 is a cowardly act……..which is expected from politicians especially the GOP.
Cowards will always find a good excuse………
