THE FALL OF PALMYRA & RAMADI

I\’ll make this short and to the point.

Yesterday, the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra fell to ISIS.

Several days ago the key strategic Iraqi city of Ramadi – maybe 75 miles from Baghdad – fell to ISIS.

ISIS is strengthening exponentially, and – if unchecked – seems likely to take over all of Syria and all of Iraq.

This is the “jayvee squad” President Barack Obama referred to 16 months ago, when his “policy”, if it can even charitably be called one” was to do nothing except mouth platitudes and dismissive insults.

And what is his “policy” today?  What is he – or the UN or the European Union – doing to prevent ISIS from continuing to become bigger and stronger and more of a threat to the entire world? 

Other than a hitting individual ISIS “senior people” here and there, which self-evidently is not stopping the organization, not one damn thing.

And what is his explanation for the burgeoning of ISIS…oh, excuse my intellectual failing; ISIL (that\’s what the really smart people like Mr. Obama call it)?

It is to blame it on George Bush. 

See, if Bush had not invaded Iraq in 2003, ISIS – which Mr. Obama characterized as nothing more than a “jayvee squad” 11 years later – would be doing what it does today. 

This has nothing to do with radical Islam (I guess that must have come into existence after 2003), and it has nothing to do with the void created by Mr. Obama when he bugged out of Iraq without leaving a residual force there.

It certainly is not his fault.  Heck, Barack Obama has only been President for going on 6 1/2 years now.  So how can he be blamed for anything?  I mean, no one blamed President Bush for anything that happened during the first 6 1/2 years of his administration, right?

There are still 20 months left for this nightmare administration to malfunction.  How I wish there were a Miracl-Gro product for time, that would make it go faster.
