"ISIS forces seized Ramadi, a city of nearly one million people that is the capital of the country’s largest province, Anbar.
But White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz had an alternate take from the alternate universe known as the West Wing:
"ISIL’s momentum has indeed be blunted – it’s ability to mass and maneuver forces degraded, it’s leadership cells pressured or eliminated, it’s command and control and supply lines severed."
I’m glad ISIS’s momentum has been blunted, because if it wasn’t I guess they’d be in Cairo by now.
The consequences of President Obama’s decision to abandon Iraq and then fight ISIS with half measures continue to descend on Iraq. How sickening to hear again the names of cities where our troops bravely fought and died for victory, cities once again in the hands of the enemy."
So now ISIS has 1 million more people to murder, torture, and enslave.
Obama, the U.N., the world ... "yeah, so what"

As was with Yemen , Obama's strategy is working.
Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

re: ISIS taking Ramadi ....
John McCain said today: "The loss of the Iraqi city to ISIS is terribly significant"
Ollie North said today: "The Obama legacy is going to be a bloodbath of unprecedented, biblical proportions in Iraq."
Lindsey Graham said today: "I'm running for President because I think the world is falling apart."
Alrighty then!

"I am convinced that as the forces are redeployed, and as the days flow in the weeks ahead, that's going to change, as overall [they] have been driven back," Kerry said at a news conference in Seoul, South Korea, where he was meeting with government leaders. "... I am absolutely confident in the days ahead that will be reversed."
SecState weasel John Kerry says that Ramadi can be 'reversed'.
Wow. How inspiring. Extremely confident.
One small problem... the rapes, beheadings and mass executions that are going on now WON'T be 'reversed'.

Amidst this perpetually continuing debacle, I thought that Kerry Washington would make a far greater representative that Secretary Swiftboat Ketchup.

The Iranian ambassador would never scream his head off at her. She'd have him wrapped around her finger.

That's what happens when you support the nation which supports ISIS (Saudi Arabia).
But don't worry- Iran and Russia will save Ramadi's bacon.
And fuck Saudi Arabia.

The 'hair on fire' remark by the Mouth of Obama Earnest was about as belittling, incompetent and smug as anything I've heard by our gov't.
Unbelievable.
Earnest On Fall Of Ramadi: 'Are We Going To Light Our Hair On Fire Every Time There's A Setback In Campaign Against ISIL?'

Former Def. Sec. Gates said yesterday "The Pentagon has no strategy from the White House to fight ISIS in Iraq."
Col. Ralph Peters said yesterday "Forget Iraq. Iraq is gone."
They're both right. The Iraqi Army will never be able to defend Baghdad, and there's no way they could ever hope to retake Ramadi, Fallujah, Mosul, or Tikrit without American troops leading the fight. And THAT ain't gonna happen while Obama is in office.
So sit back and relax for a spell. Have a cold one and enjoy the show. ISIS is going to give the S.S. Einsatzgruppen and Oskar Dirlewanger's S.S. Penal Unit a run for their money in the history books.
