McCain is Correct; Orlando is Partly Obama's Fault

The mainstream media is in full melt down mode today over comments by John McCain in which he put blame for the Orlando terror attack on president Obama.  Specifically, McCain said that when Obama pulled all American forces out of Iraq in 2011, Obama was warned that he was leaving a vacuum and that the remnants of al Qaeda in Iraq had moved to Syria to regroup.  Without American troops in Iraq to contain these remnants of al Qaeda, the terrorists would be able to form themselves back into units that could cause trouble.  Obama ignored the warnings.  The remnants of al Qaeda then formed themselves into ISIS and caused major turmoil in Iraq, Syria and across the world.  Indeed, the existence of ISIS is the major reason for the killings in Orlando.

McCain is correct.  In fact, back in 2011, McCain himself warned of the danger posed by a complete American withdrawal from Iraq.  Obama has recognized, too late, his mistake.  Even so, he has sent just about 10,000 troops back to the region.  Tens of thousands have died, however, because Obama was in too much of a rush to meet his political goals rather than doing what was best for the USA.

The media can sniff and complain.  The media, however, cannot change the facts.  McCain is correct.  This is Obama's fault.  Why else do you think Obama, Clinton and the Democrats are so focused on gun control.  It's called changing the subject.
