BUBBA, PANETTA DUMP ON OBAMA
The effort by Hillary Clinton and her team to pin blame exclusively on President Obama for the rise of a huge Islamist army in Iraq and Syria kicked into high gear this weekend. Obama heads to New York this week to try to piece together some kind of coalition to fight ISIS but honor some version of his promises to his base about the conflict. Even if it means teaming up with Iran. In the midst of the dire chapter for Obama’s foreign policy, we hear from former President Bill Clinton, who told CNN, “I supported two years ago the proposal that Hillary and Secretary Panetta and then CIA director, General Petraeus, made to give more robust armed support to the Syrians.” The former president told CNN that “it was an argument she lost within the administration.” Panetta, a longtime Clinton insider, made clear that he was ready to burn Obama in an interview with 60 Minutes,” saying, “And I think in part, we pay the price for not doing that in what we see happening with ISIS.”
