White House press secretary Josh Earnest was busy yesterday commenting on the calamitous situation in Iraq—and in the process making it even worse.
He told Fox News: “The United States is not going to be responsible for securing the security situation inside of Iraq.”
And then on NPR he rejected calls to send 25,000 or so troops to Iraq, saying:
We are unwilling to dedicate that kind of blood and treasure to Iraq again. We saw what the result of that previous investment was. And that is not discounting the bravery and courage of our men and women in uniform – they had a substantial impact on the security situation there. But the Iraqi people, and because of the failed leadership of Prime Minister Maliki, was not able to capitalize on it.

Good point.
DeleteMinding our own business in the Middle East? Obama saying that another nation is not our responsibility? Sounds like he is finally getting things right. Now if he will just bring all our troops home and end the welfare being shipped overseas.
ReplyDeleteend the welfare being shipped overseas.
Delete& the welfare here. Back to relief which gives you barely enough to get by and with a time limit.
Power vacuum.
ReplyDeleteI wish that was between his ears, but unfortunately not, as everything purposely done for the destruction of America.
