After years of resisting the pull of more Mideast conflicts, President Barack Obama has sent the military back into action in Iraq, where he once accused his predecessor of waging a "dumb war."
U.S. planes on Friday bombed Islamic militants who were towing artillery outside Irbil near U.S. personnel, the Pentagon said.
The aggressive insurgency threatens to undermine Obama's legacy as the commander in chief who ended a long and unpopular war in which nearly 4,500 American troops died.
It also raises fresh questions about whether Obama's desire to end the war clouded his assessment of the risks of fully withdrawing U.S. troops, as well as his judgment about the threat posed by the extremists.

‘AP Analysis: Iraq upheaval threatens Obama legacy’
What?!? Is he about to have some success there? If not then Iraq just reenforces his legacy of failure.
Too funny. His legacy is a legacy of destruction of America. In one sense, he has a 100% rating.
Thousands of slaughtered Iraqis, and the real victim here is Obama’s legacy?
How incredibly AP of them!!
Just wait until ISIS makes the statement that Benghazi was to set up the transfer of Iraqi arms from the US to rebel groups.
“a legacy of utter failure and deceit.”
Agree on the deceit part but as for failure, I think it’s all going to plan. The more he can tear down our country the better as far as he’s concerned.
Ya think?
Wow; that was a powerful post. The suffering of Christians & other religious minorities under Obama has ratcheted up indescribably. The worst of it being, he is a sociopath and simply does not care. In the end, he does care about his own legacy, which is the only reason he’s done anything at all. But as for empathy & compassion, he has none. I do pray for him; I pray for his conversion. But I pray, I confess, more fervently for his victims. There are so many.
Oy. I know. I think I’ll get out and do some summery things myself.
Sigh.
Correct!
This kid reporter has probably more sense than MSM.
"When he's busy bombing Iraq, I get to go in and sit in the BIG chair...and if I had your legs my feet would reach the floor."
I disagree.
Fast and Furious was an administration program designed to lead to increased gun control. Fail.
IRS targeting of conservatives IN CONJUNCTION with DOJ prosecutions of offending applicants would systematically silence democrat opposition. Fail.
Court challenges of states implementing voter ID laws. Fail.
Overflowing the border and immigration service with a surge of illegals is intended to push the GOP into accepting the democrats idea of immigration reform (amnesty). Will be a political loser for the democrats in November (voting latinos care less about immigration reform than economic issues). Fail.
Obama’s fairy tail foreign policy is a complete failure in the face of evil aggression.
