You have to wonder who is most responsible for Iraq being a soft shell of a target. After all of the external support, the Syrian terrorist/rebels couldn’t displace Assad—but just rolled all over the US trained and financed Iraqi army.

Was it Bush’s fault for getting us there in the first place? Or Obama’s for withdrawing and claiming victory? Or Maliki’s for running an incompetent government and not working with the US?

Or was Iraq predestined to split along the three lines of a new Kurdistan, a Sunni middle, and a Irani/Shiite dominated southeast?

the liberals will blame it on Bush, saying that we shouldn’t have been there in the first place.

In the Era of Obama, nothing can ever be the fault of Obama or his policies.

Obama and his boys do not take responsibility for anything. In the case of Iraq, they will say he inherited an impossible situation.

It doesn’t matter that every president inherits existing problems. Obama is unique, because nothing can ever be his fault or his responsibility, or have bad things happen due to the failure of his policies.

So then Vietnam was all John Kennedy's fault?
