As speaker of the house Rep. Boehner so succinctly put it, while chaos is developing in Iraq, Pres. "Obama is taking a nap". More specifically, he and his family were vacationing in California at the home of the "White House decorator" (it seems that Congress grants the White House sufficient budgetary discretion to hire their own, private decorator).
Anyway, while the Pentagon was apparently debating the pros and cons of assisting the Iraqi military in their defense of Bagdad and the American embassy there, reports have emerged that the I.s.i.s. rebels have become equipped with American-made "Stinger Missiles", capable of shooting down our own aircraft. So, the President, in his infinite wisdom declares that airstrikes could be approved to assist the Iraqi forces, and that the American Embassy will receive 275 Marines as his idea of reinforcements. Everyone knows that the Embassy will be the prime target for the insurgents to attack once they reach Bagdad. And Pres. Obama feels that 275 Marines is sufficient reinforcements against an invading army. He seems to be desperate to maintain his campaign pledge of bringing home the troops from Iraq even if people die to make him seem as if he keeps his word. Pres. Obama, we already know you to be a compulsive liar and that you've hired your staff to protect your butt when the truth really comes out, so why not man-up and admit your mistake in recalling all of the troops, and send back enough to really put this insurgency down, for good, before we have another Benghazi fiasco to blame on your administration. Is keeping your campaign promises, really more important than the lives of American soldiers???
Instead, Obama has announced a willingness to negotiate with the Iranian government for their troops to do our work for us. I'm sorry, I thought negotiating a separate truce with the enemy would be an impeachable offense, but I guess Obama plays by his own rules, internationally, as well as domestically.
