RedState: President Obama’s Asinine Abdication of Responsibility on Iraq

By: Leon H. Wolf (Diary) | September 29th, 2014 at 09:51 AM

In case you missed it last night, President Obama acknowledged (sort of) that mistakes were made [by everyone but himself] in assessing the threat level that ISIS posed to the stability of Iraq and the entire region. Some low level employees in a rogue office in Cincinnati have once again conspired to create bad headlines for the President, but definitely no one should suggest that Obama himself has done anything wrong. The most galling portion of the interview was when Obama claimed that those who specifically predicted that a precipitate withdrawal from Iraq would create a power vacuum were somehow wrong.

FTA:

 

The other consistent feature of the liberal view of the world is that after it is unmasked that the latest threat they have erroneously pooh poohed really was a threat, or that whatever measure they opposed has contained that threat, they never publicly admit the fact that they have been wrong or fundamentally misunderstood world affairs. They always claim that the way events have unfolded would have surprised anyone and no one could have predicted it, even when many people have consistently and publicly predicted it for years.

 

I would add to this observation, the Dems also go to their Domestic Policy toolbox. They will blame Republican obstructionism too.
