Washington Times: BRUCE: Iraq, the Taliban 5 and Hillary Clinton
The danger of miscalculating the enemy

As Mrs. Clinton is alighting around the United States imparting her banal and patronizing platitudes about “leadership” to reporters and other liberals, the world she had been in charge of for four years is unraveling and on fire.

In the past few days, ISIS, a group of psychopathic Islamists aligned with al Qaeda (like her harmless Taliban 5) have swept through Iraq, gaining large swaths of the country. They captured Fallujah in January, and then this last week were suddenly confident enough to take Mosul and then Tikrit.

Their goal? The creation of a new country, an Islamic emirate spanning both sides of the Iraq-Syria border. Observers could hazard an assessment that the action of ISIS, with its sudden zeal, is a reflection of how Islamists everywhere have been inspired and motivated by the capitulation of Mr. Obama to the Taliban and his effective neutering of the United States.

    US veterans, patriots, tea party, right-to-life, Christians who believe the Bible is really the word of God, conservatives, creationists, traditional marriage supporters, constitutionalists, and any number of millions of fly over folks are much more of a threat to Hillary’s and Obama’s America than every islamic terrorist group that solves all problems by chopping opponents heads off by the thousands.

    Obama’s & Clinton’s & Kerry’s foreign policy: Iraq needs to solve Iraq’s problems. We will be right here in America, releasing Jihadi commanders. Hashtag-Leading from behind

    Taranto’s column today is interesting. “Obama Keeps a Promise”.

    He quotes Biden in a 2010 interview.

    “I am very optimistic about–about Iraq. I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration. You’re going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the end of the summer. You’re going to see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government,” said Biden.

    “I spent–I’ve been there 17 times now. I go about every two months–three months. I know every one of the major players in all of the segments of that society. It’s impressed me. I’ve been impressed how they have been deciding to use the political process rather than guns to settle their differences.”

    So the IRS took a year to get back to Congress and report that Lois Lerner’s emails had been erased. Riiiight.

    There’s precedent. I’m thinking back to the empty section of Nixon’s tapes, which he claimed his secretary Rosemary must have accidentally erased.
