Now that President Bush’s prescient forecast of the consequences of leaving Iraq too soon have been validated by the actions of the manchild pResident, Obama has switched to a new foil:
“He’s definitely feeling it,” said one guest. At one point, Mr. Obama noted acidly that President Ronald Reagan sent Marines to Lebanon only to have hundreds of them killed in a terrorist attack because of terrible planning, and then withdrew the remaining ones, leaving behind a civil war that lasted years. But Reagan, he noted, is hailed as a titan striding the earth.
It now appears that the pResident will be escalating the war in Syria (illegally) in order to distract our attention from yet another scandal. We can only wonder which straw will break the camel’s back.
