The Obama Twitter-squad is in full CYA mode, posting thousands of "This is all Bush's fault" stuff.

Obama asked for this job, so any time he's ready to start doing the job instead of campaigning would be good.

Gee notice how liberals take credit when Obama orders the take down of Sayyaf but they quickly start blaming Bush when ISIS takes control of a city..this is ALL Obama’s fault, he took us out of Iraq, this is what he wanted, the Islamic Caliphate, he did this, he owns it

Iran’s going to have to step it up and retake Ramadi, but this will seal Iran’s hold on Iraq... which I’m sure will make Obama smile.

That's why his army of Tweeters, bloggers and other assorted MSM "reporters" are flooding the place with "Bush created ISIS" stories.

The Iranians and their pals screwed up badly in Tikrit. After much fanfare they failed and had to be bailed out.
They took their marbles and went home.
Theres no way they are going to risk some high profile effort to take back Ramadi. They know they will just humiliate themselves again.
They are doing very badly vs ISIS in Syria too.

He (Obama) owns all of ISIS

The problem's much greater than who owns it. After failing to disintegrate ISIS as soon as they marched across the desert, they're unstoppable. Then, besides that, his administration (with the blessing of the 'pub war-mongers) STILL worked to arm, fund and train Syrian militants who turn and join ISIS. At that time, the only thing that would've made sense is to support Assad.

Now, ISIS is going to own a huge chunk of Iraq and a corridor to the Med through Syria. Take out the map....it won't be pretty. How does Western Civilization survive that?

Maybe we should go in with about 200K troops, kick ass and then install a dictatorship and put the whole thing to rest once and for all.

CNN is now saying that Ramadi really hasn’t fallen, and it’s just showmanship by ISIS. They keep showing their very expensive, elaborate reenactment/dramatization of General Obama’s big gutsy raid on that ISIS money guy they got a few days ago.

Showmanship? Good grief. The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.

Why install anything? Pull FORCEPRO on walled-off oil areas, work with the officially-recognized Kurdistan in the North, drain all the oil we can in 12 months and roll out of there. The only route we care about is out of Basra’s port. Done and done. Let the animals off each other all day long. They can have Ramadi and Fallujah and Baghdad and Najaf and Karbalah and all those other wonderful hellholes.

Meanwhile, Al Qaeda is gaining ground in Syria against Assad

This is the biggest foreign policy fail since Barbarossa.

Put in a dictator? We HAD a dictator. His name was Saddam. But like all dictators we install they eventually want to start calling the shots and they have to be taken out. But I don’t see us ever putting another one in anywhere.
