Barack Obama has been POTUS for six years. Six whole years.
He seems to recognize all kinds of flaws from George W. Bush’s tenure but never seems to be able to fix them or notice them before they become a scandal or people die. Isn’t it almost like Obama himself is the moron, not George W Bush? /rant
Via CNN:
ISIS, the brutal insurgent/terrorist group formerly known as al Qaeda in Iraq, has seized much of western and northern Iraq and even threatens towns not far from Baghdad.
From where did ISIS spring? One of George W. Bush’s most toxic legacies is the introduction of al Qaeda into Iraq, which is the ISIS mother ship.
If this wasn’t so tragic it would be supremely ironic, because before the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, top Bush officials were insisting that there was an al Qaeda-Iraq axis of evil.
Their claims that Saddam Hussein’s men were training members of al Qaeda how to make weapons of mass destruction seemed to be one of the most compelling rationales for the impending war.
