There is no argument that Iraq is collapsing. Terrorists from the local branch of al Qaeda have taken a series of major Iraqi cities. The Iraqi army units which greatly outnumbered the terrorists did not fight. Instead, the Iraqi army units broke down and fled in the face of an attack by the al Qaeda forces. In the Kurdish area of the country, major cities are now under the control of the Kurds as the forces of the central government flee those areas as well. In the Shiite sections of Iraq, the government is still nominally in control, but it seems likely that such control will not last much longer. Iran is offering Iraq help to fight the terrorists, an offer which will likely lead to the movement of large Iranian armed forces into Baghdad and other areas of Iraq. In other words, if the Sunni terrorists from al Qaeda are successful, Iraq's enormous oil reserves will fall to the terrorists from that group. On the other hand, if the Shiites manage to hang on to power, it will be Iran that will have essential control over those oil supplies. The world will have a choice between dealing with Sunni terrorists or Shiite terrorists who are state sponsored. It is hard to imagine a worse outcome.
Despite this disaster, president Obama and his people continue to describe the outcome of the Iraq War as Obama's most important foreign policy "success". Now it may be that because Obama's foreign policy has been such a disaster, this claim of success in Iraq is meant tongue in cheek, but we all know that is not the case. Folks like Jay Carney continue to tell the American people that the Obama policies in Iraq have been a big success.
I know that Obama and his people are prone to lying. I know that there is nothing that is both truthful that they can say that puts Obama in a good light regarding Iraq. Nevertheless, it is amazing that the Obamacrats would continue to tell this lie about the "success" of Iraq when any idiot looking at the situation understands that what they are saying is not true.
