Politics: MSNBC: Iraq's collapse is a problem because people might think it's Obama's fault (video)
Best of Cain ^ | 6/13/14 | Robert Laurie

Maybe because it is? Nah, that can't be it. Nothing's his fault.

In the last few days, city after city has fallen to a massive army of Al Qaeda offshoot terrorists called ISIS. As the Daily Beast puts it, ISIS is the terrorist organization so extreme that it was "booted" from Al Qaeda proper. They organized, trained, took Mosul and, as a result, have now confiscated gobs of formerly-U.S. military hardware.

With the fall of Mosul on Tuesday, Iraq’s al Qaeda offshoot has not only seized the country’s second-largest city, it appears it also has come into possession of the heavy weapons and vehicles the U.S. military had provided Iraq’s military to fight them.

Now, the Independent reports that Baghdad is preparing for the worst as the army of Islamic militants threatens to overrun the capital city.

I am amazed that anyone could think it is NOT Obama's fault.

Their argument is simple: Our brave young leader, B.O. would not have had to deal with it if Bush had not invaded Iraq. The chaos now taking place would not be our concern, likely not be taking place with strongman Saddam in power, and the US weaponry would not be there for the taking. This is not my argument but a supposition of one that might be advanced by Obama's defenders

I can’t wait to hear Brian Williams proclaim the the new $5 gasoline price is Bush’s fault.

MSNBC - the least trusted news source.

It’s a problem because Obama has been more concerned with transgendered in the military than our national security.

I’m going to say what no one else is going to say, namely that MSNBC and the Black Congressional Caucus have some of the stupidest black Americans in the history of our country.

This woman, along with that Perry-Harris-thing, and Rep. Johnson (Guam will tip over), Sheila Jackson Lee (everything she says is stupid), Barbara Lee (a red for decades), Eljiah Cummings ( the biggest Obama cover-upper in govt), etc. are a disgrace to black Americans, white Americans, all Americans.

We have Justice Clarence Thomas, the late Whitney Young (Urban League), Col. Alan West, the late George Schuyler, Walter Williams, Prof. Sowell, Martin Luther King Jr’s niece, and many other rational, intelligent, articulate and patriotic black Americans who do not sound like they are drunk, drug-addled, illiterate stooges, so why does the mainstream media hire complete dotes, fools, and iqnoramuses?

Even Obama’s own people — and I mean the Muslim world — must think he’s an idiot by now. How many Muslims will die for his bad policies?

When they said 25% of the cadets applauded Barry at West Point I was thinking: Are we already at the point where 1 out of 4 new elite officers are gay?

Well the demographics are 25% “minority” so that pretty much synchs up with Baraq’s fan club.

Does anybody.....anybody......think it’s a good idea for Obama to go golfing while Iraq is falling apart?

Then, why is he doing it?

Everyone seems to be dancing around what seems to me obvious. Obama is getting exactly what he wants, domestically and internationally. No one can be so wrong about everything without trying. He is a Muslim Commie who hates America as an imperial power that milks the rest of the world. He is the Anti-American President and he was elected twice.

If Bush I and II had never been born this wouldn’t be a problem...

That's a fun game.

If LBJ hadn't decided not to run in 1968, Nixon wouldn't have won and give us Watergate in 1972. Without Watergate, Jimmy Carter would never have been elected in 1976, leading to the fall of the Shah of Iran and the rise of Islamic Terrorism.

It's Johnson's fault!

MSNBC’s Tamron Hall’s sister...

Phylicia Barnes went missing in December 2010 while visiting family in Baltimore, and her body was found months later. Her accused killer is her older sister’s former boyfriend.

That's what Senator Joseph McCarthy used to say about the State Department. If they were merely stupid, they'd make a mistake in our favor part of the time. Instead all their mistakes are against us.
