The republican deb-iraq-cle

While republicans take their completely oblivious potshots at President Obama over the deteriorating situation in Iraq, it's important to remember who created this mess.

Republicans.

Yep, from the get go republications were undeniably wrong about everything in Iraq.  But that hasn't stopped John McCain (McCain must be Scottish for "moronic asshole") from bitching about the events transpiring today (though he did take a colossal bitch slap from Chris Hayes).  Willard Romney, the noted foreign policy expert after serving one term as Massachussetts Governor and also getting his ass kicked by President Obama in 2012 (i.e., he's the Man Who Would Not Be President, Thank God), is taking the opportunity to bash Hillary Clinton and say Obama's foreign policy has been a failure (pretty much expected from a half-wit).  They're even recycling republican trolls like David Brooks (has learned nothing over the past eleven years) and Judith Miller (has there ever been a journalist who was more incompetent on an issue than Miller was on Iraq?).

Fortunately, President Obama has been prescient from the beginning on Iraq, and yesterday noted that we will not be committing more troops to the debacle that republicans created.  Frankly, I wish we'd just walk away--Iraq has been a monumental disaster in American lives and American capital and the ills it produced have not been worth it from the moment we were lied into it until this day.

One thing you can be sure of--when republicans are on TV tomorrow blaming President Obama for their mistakes, if good foreign policy was to jump out of their collective asses and yell "Howdy-doo!" they still wouldn't know what the fuck it was.

Peace,
