If you've been paying attention, you know that - for years - Obama and the Democrats were eager to tell anyone who'd listen that they had a bold plan to "end the war in Iraq." Once it was over, they rarely missed a chance to make sure you knew that they bore sole responsibility for putting an end to George W. Bush's evil, insidious, and ill-conceived "war for Mid-East oil." In turn, they demanded all the credit. Oh sure, they were repeatedly warned that a quick pullout would leave a power vacuum that would give rise to all sorts of nasty insurgent organizations but they couldn't have cared less. The talking point was all that mattered.
Then ISIS rose up, slaughtered thousands of people, started lopping off heads, and undid years’ worth of work in Iraq.
Suddenly, inexplicably, Democrats no longer wanted to take credit for halting Bush's despicable Iraq "aggression." Almost overnight, President Obama went from "thank me for ending that war" to "I had nothing to do with ending that war."
It's pathetic, it's completely transparent, and now it's the subject of a new supercut video. As usual, it comes to us from the fine folks at the Washington Free Beacon, and also as usual, it's brilliant.
