Who Could Not See This Coming!



Obama’s national security team under fire on Iraq, Bergdahl


Many have said time and time again that nobody can be this stupid when referring to some of the administration's seemingly idiotic decisions. There has been incoherence in  both domestic and foreign policy. There are many articles on this subject far too numerous for here. In foreign policy, events have now reached the point, where the GOP is calling for heads to roll and the Dems are basically mum. America's security has been seriously compromised by the gross ineptitude and bad advice by the entire National Security team. Bungling, treachery, treason? What can we possibly think in view of what has happened throughout Obama's administration.


From The Hill
President Obama’s team of national security advisers is under attack on Capitol Hill for not foreseeing the collapse of Iraq’s Army forces who have been routed by Sunni jihadists.
Republicans are calling for heads to roll and Democrats have been slow to defend Obama’s national security team after a string of questionable performances.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have second-guessed Obama’s decision to release five senior Taliban commanders from Guantanamo Bay and his handling of the civil war in Syria. Now they’re concerned the insurgent’s lightening war across Iraq has taken the administration by surprise.Obama even took heat Thursday from the editorial page of the Washington Post, which asserted the “pretense” of Obama’s claim to have ended the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan “is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain.”
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) called for the wholesale resignation of Obama’s national security team, starting with Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
“We need a new national security advisor. We need a new team. We need a new team that knows what America’s national security interests are and are more interested in national security than they are in politics,” he said on the Senate floor.
What might have sounded as an off-the-wall demand a week ago, didn’t seem so outlandish after 800 fighters with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria — a former affiliate of al Qaeda — routed 30,000 Iraqi soldiers to capture Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city. Militants have also captured Tikrit and plan to march on Baghdad, the capital.
