They can't do it on their own because they are on the wrong side of every issue. So they deployed their Manchurian Candidate - the ghost of BushCo.
BushCo strikes again as they created the situation that exists in Iraq now based on their lying us into this conflict in the first place. Now they use this new situation in Iraq to force President Obama into a decision where he has to put 'boots on the ground' again in Iraq.
He has to do this because he knows that he needs to prevent another Benghazi. The worst thing that could happen to him is to have him say that this is a civil war and it's up to the Iraqi's to figure it out for themselves - and then lose some embassy workers because he didn't take the proper precautions to assure their safety.
Now Dem voters around the country are upset that President Obama has gotten sucked into putting 'boots on the ground' and many are saying that they can't support the President for this.
Coupling that with McCain-Graham putting out contradictory solutions - one says - enlist the help of Iran and the other says not to - the Repubs have put the President into a no-win situation.
When the President is in a no-win situation this means that the Repubs win no matter what.
It doesn't help that the Dems running for re-election in 2014 have to look tough on this to protect their jobs. They don't want their opponents say that they are soft on terrorism.
So all and all we have a 'perfect storm' that puts the President into another 'no-win' proposition.
Now all the Repubs have to do is figure out a way to get this situation to escalate and make it even more difficult for the President. It doesn't help that the MSM is eating this new Iraqi conflict up. It doesn't help that they are bringing back Bremer, Rove, Wolfowitz, and other war criminals to put the blame solely on President Obama.
I couldn't believe when I read yesterday a article that said 6 out of 10 people are dissatisfied as to how the President handled the Benghazi attack. Looks like Issa and all the hearings he's held has done its job.
I personally don't know how the President keeps his cool through all this. I admire the man for that - but feel equally sorry for him to have to deal with this crap instead of doing what he'd wants to do to make this country better and make good on his promises.

He had a choice he choose unwisely this is what he gets.

Wonder if Obama will become freer to be a good President the more he realizes he has nothing left to lose?

(7,018 posts)a waste of time to do it now, since the GOP is controlling the House. It might
be worthwhile to do it when Dems. will have the control of both Houses.
