The Real Revo – by R.D. Walker
Obama and Hillary battling seems like old times, huh?
President Obama got angry at lawmakers who suggested in a private meeting that he should have armed the Syrian rebels, calling the criticism “horseshit.”
The argument that America should have done more in Syria, made for years by foreign policy leaders in both parties and several members of Obama’s senior national security team, was brought back to the fore this past weekend. Obama and Hillary Clinton gave dueling interviews in which they publicly split on whether the security and humanitarian catastrophe in Syria could have been avoided if the United States had played a larger role. Obama’s outburst on July 31, one week prior, reveals the criticism was already getting to him, even before the White House tried to deflect Clinton’s remarks as pre-presidential political posturing.
I gotta side with Bronco Bama on this one. The notion that a) Hillary was a helpless tool of policy when she was Secretary of State is risible, and b) the idea that arming ISIS in Syria would have helped prevent the spread of ISIS into Iraq is contemptible.
Risible + Contemptible = Horsehit.
