Tom Coniglia submitted this link concerning a press conference in which President Obama tries to dance his way around questions concerning the Mideast meltdown.
WesternJournalism.com notes that during his 2012 campaign he drew applause every time he announced “I promised to end the war in Iraq, and I did.”
Well, now he’s saying he had nothing to do with it as per this:
“You know what I just find interesting is the degree to which this issue keeps coming up, as if this was my decision. Under the previous administration we had turned over the country to a sovereign, Democratically elected Iraqi government. When you hear people say, “Do you regret, Mr. President, not leaving more troops?” that presupposes that I would have overwritten this sovereign government that we had turned the keys back over.”
The country — and the world — would be exponentially better off the American media did its job as conveyors of accurate and relevant information in 2008 and 2012 rather than as cheerleaders for a particular side.
