This is rich. The chaos in Iraq is Obama's fault.
More than two years after the administration failed to reach a status of
forces agreement with Iraq and withdrew all American combat troops from
the country, the two senior Republican senators are blaming President
Barack Obama for the violence erupting there this week.
Oh, and Syria, too.
"[The administration] has sat by and refused to take any meaningful
action, while the conflict has claimed more than 130,000 lives, driven a
quarter of the Syrian population from their homes, fueled the
resurgence of al Qaeda, and devolved into a regional conflict that now
threatens our national security interests and the stability of Syria's
neighbors, especially Iraq," they said.
Send in the troops! Let the two old
soldiers be the first to set foot on the ground in Iraq. Wait! One to
Iraq and the other to Syria. Take your choice, fellas. You'll set
things right in no time.
