He’s rude. He’s a pundit. Put those two together and you get rude punditry that, after you’ve past the rudeness, the punditry makes a whole lotta sense.
So Iraq is apparently falling into the hands of some very bad people and like expected, Republicans found their scapegoat.
As with everything else in their eyes, president Obama is to be blamed. After all, it was he who ended the decade old war in Iraq, a war that cost Americans over a trillion dollars and thousands of American lives. Obama even had the nerve to bring the remaining troops back home to their families. The Audacity!
So the uprising in Iraq now is obviously Obama’s fault. This according to Republican Senator John McCain.
“Everybody in his national security team, including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, ought to be replaced,” the Arizona Republican warmonger said. “It’s a colossal failure of American security policy.”
Of course, Senator John McCain and all of his warmongering buddies in Congress who decided to invade a country that had nothing to do with September 11th, are now deflecting blame to Barack Obama, the one man in Washington that stood against the Iraq invasion from the very beginning.
But the Republicans and their deflection game is being called out, and no one calls them out better than The Rude Pundit!
Once more, Barack Obama’s presidency is swallowed and squandered by the devastated landscape George W. Bush left behind.
Obama is already getting the blame for the uprisings, the Sunni on Shiite violence, the radical Kurds taking what they always wanted (aided by average, everyday Kurds). It’s like blaming your current lover for the herpes you got from some dude ten years ago because he’s there and why the fuck not direct your rage at someone who is convenient instead of yourself and your own stupid decisions.
