Sadly, I don't have the same respect and admiration for him as a politician. He and I have different views on many issues. I am, however, in complete agreement with him on this one.
McCain blasts Obama for Al Qaeda-related takeover of Fallujah
Republican senators on Saturday blamed the Obama administration for Al Qaeda affiliates over-running parts of Iraq, including the city of Fallujah, which the United States secured before President Obama removed all U.S. forces from that country in 2011.“as tragic as they were predictable” - that applies to many events and consequences of the obama administration, not just Fallujah.
Sen. John McCain, Arizona, and Lindsey Graham, South Carolina, called the recent turn of events “as tragic as they were predictable” and suggested Obama misled Americans into believing that Iraqi leaders wanted U.S. forces out of their country.
obama, meanwhile, has been trumpeting that AlQaeda is on its last legs. Recall that barry ran for re-election in 2012 claiming Al Qaeda was broken. Similar to "if you like your health care you can keep it," those claims were also a great big lie - and obama knew it.
As President Obama ran to election victory last fall with claims that al Qaeda was “decimated” and “on the run,” his intelligence team was privately offering a different assessment that the terrorist movement was shifting resources and capabilities to emerging spinoff groups in Africa that posed fresh threats to American security.I think we all know the answer to that one.
Top U.S. officials, including the president, were told in the summer and fall of 2012 that the African offshoots were gaining money, lethal knowledge and a mounting determination to strike U.S. and Western interests while keeping in some contact with al Qaeda’s central leadership, said several people directly familiar with the intelligence.
The gulf between the classified briefings and Mr. Obama’s pronouncements on the campaign trail touched off a closed-door debate inside the intelligence community about whether the terrorist group’s demise was being overstated for political reasons, officials told The Washington Times.
The guy lies by reflex. He wouldn't know the truth if it walked up and whacked him upside the head.
Blood on his hands ... and the hands of everyone who supports him...

And a sad end to the lives our military gave to GET those locations from the militants to start with... All for nothing, thanks to Obama...
Agreed - what a waste of brave men and women.
Obama's going full steam ahead on neutering the military. He's started at the top by firing numerous senior officers on mostly trumped-up charges, promoted the openly gay scenario and reducing the number of active duty personnel dramatically.
In the meantime he's quietly establishing the Obama gestapo (National Security Agency) by flooding local and state police departments with military grade weapons and equipment.
No warrant house searches, highway check points where drivers are coerced into giving DNA samples and other things that would make the signatories of the Constitution vomit.
Toejam - you're right on all counts. What I don't get is why people ('us') don't raise Hell about it. Maybe because there is so much of that crap going on that we're just getting worn down.
Yup CTT,
Obama holds the upper hand and he knows it.
God help us all!
