PATHETIC: Obama Blames Other People For Not Helping Iraqi Christians Sooner

There aren’t many tactics that President Obama can claim he’s an expert at executing, but passing the buck is definitely at the top of the list.

As the situation in Iraq has gone from bad to worse, one that is largely the result of Obama’s foreign policy blunders, the president is once again pointing fingers for the deteriorating crisis, which has resulted in the persecution of religious minorities like Christians and Yazidis.

Rather than taking full responsibility for his actions and acting like a grown up, Obama has opted to blame the intelligence community for the fall of Iraq.

In other words, the president has likely been skipping out on his briefings again, which is why he had no idea what was really going on.

According to WZ, Obama said that the U.S. failure to act sooner to respond to the Islamic State terrorist group was the result of intelligence estimates that failed to anticipate the quickness with which IS would take over Iraq.

“There is no doubt that their advance their movement over the last several of months has been more rapid than the intelligence estimates and I think the the expectation of policy makers both in and outside of Iraq.”

The president seems to have forgotten that it was his idea to remove troops from Iraq, a politically motivated stunt to help him get more votes in the 2012 election. He was warned repeatedly that the Iraqi military wasn’t ready to stand on its own, but in typical Obama fashion, he ignored the counsel.
As if that weren’t bad enough, one of the top leaders in the IS is a terrorist that the president released from Gitmo in 2009. Yet, this whole situation is due to faulty intelligence estimates.

One could assume that his lack of action in every major crisis facing the country, his tendency to run away and hide on vacation or on the golf course, and his weakness when dealing with foreign nations, indicates that Barack Obama is terrified of responsibility.

It’s time for the president to man up, admit that his actions were wrong, and dedicate his time and effort to fixing the situation and providing support and aid for those being persecuted by the Islamic State.
