| The Collapsing Obama Doctrine |
| 2014-06-18 |
| Darth Cheney Mod Note: Squinty also posted Mr. Cheney's article. When we get multiple submissions, the submission date/time is generally the primary factor. As the terrorists of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) threaten Baghdad, thousands of slaughtered Iraqis in their wake, it is worth recalling a few of President Obama's past statements about ISIS and al Qaeda. "If a J.V. team puts on Lakers' uniforms that doesn't make them Kobe Bryant" (January 2014). "[C]ore al Qaeda is on its heels, has been decimated" (August 2013). "So, let there be no doubt: The tide of war is receding" (September 2011). Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many. Too many times to count, Mr. Obama has told us he is "ending" the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan--as though wishing made it so. His rhetoric has now come crashing into reality. Watching the black-clad ISIS jihadists take territory once secured by American blood is final proof, if any were needed, that America's enemies are not "decimated." They are emboldened and on the march. |

| #7 He could play for the Lakers but I hear he's headed for the Senior PGA tour instead, of course will still be eligible for the US Open and in due course The Masters and PGA, look for him to sweep, unless the Nobel Prize is awarded during the same time. My bet is the next one will be for Literature. |

| #6 Whait. Didn't Kobe say Obama could play for the Lakers? He does have to write like this; too many people had no idea what was going on until their meterball tweet showing Mosul's head of police placed onto the back of his knees. |

| #5 George W. has also shown considerable class and has been mum on the current WH resident. |

| #4 JohnQC - I read it as if Cheney's holding back on unleashing criticism, biting his tongue in the process. |

| #3 Mr. Cheney acts as if he is surprised by Obama. He shouldn't be, he has had some experience early on with the likes of Baghdad Bob. |

| #2 If someone attack's the US, it's all good for Obama. The only people who would get hurt fighting back wouldn't have voted for his group anyway, so they picture it a net gain. He'll just rub that Nobel Prize for luck, and go play golf somewhere. |

#1  The United States is still a potentially menacing super power in the eyes of our enemies, however, our enemies see Obama, the head of this nation, as a very weak or even accommodating. Like a Headless Horseman, a nation that is in danger of an opportunistic attack by an enemy while Obama is President. |
