PATHETIC: Obama Lies, Says Leaving Iraq Was “Not My Decision”
President Barack Obama’s foreign policy has been, to put it mildly, a disaster. The president seems incapably of thinking realistically about international affairs, instead living in a world that he wishes existed. As a result, Russia under the bully Vladimir Putin has taken advantage of this president’s perceived weakness to annex Crimea and station troops along the Ukrainian border. Two thousand, mostly civilians, have died in Gaza fighting. And the ISIS terrorist group has grown from a small player in Syria’s civil war into a full-blown army holding significant territory.As the “Islamic State” continues to terrorize women, Christians, Shiite Muslims, and others in Syria and Iraq, it becomes increasingly clear to all Americans that Obama’s 2011 decision to withdraw all American troops from Iraq was an enormous foreign policy error. All Americans except one, that is. Obama himself refuses to acknowledge that he ever made the decision to pull out of Iraq. According to National Review Online, Obama claims that “American soldiers had to pull out due to political pressure from Iraqi leaders,” not because of promises he had made during and after his presidential campaign to end the American military presence in the country.
Click here to read the impassioned plea of a young Iraqi Christian for American support against the ISIS terrorists. This is most certainly at odds with the announcement made by Obama when the withdrawal was made known. “After taking office, I announced a new strategy that would end our combat mission in Iraq and remove all of our troops by the end of 2011,” Obama then said. “So today, I can report that, as promised, the rest of our troops in Iraq will come home by the end of the year.” That certainly sounds like a president announcing the successful completion of his own plans, as does the president several times in the below video, also available here. This is not the first time that President Obama has lied to the American people about Iraq, and it probably won’t be the last. At least Americans can take some comfort in knowing that we are finally doing the right thing and standing up to the Islamic State terrorists on behalf of their innocent victims.
Unfortunately, that also reminds us that America’s leaders were the ones who left those victims to fend for themselves on their own.
