There was information about what the Nazis were doing to the Jews during World War II. Roosevelt probably knew what was going on. We stayed out of that war until Pearl Harbor. Hell, there were congressional hearings about whether Roosevelt knew the Japanese planned to bomb Pearl Harbor, and allowed it to happen.
I am really not sure were there any congressional hearing after the fact about why we invaded Iraq second time around. If there weren't how do Republicans justify 8 hearing on Benghazi?
Syria did happen on Obama watch, but Iraq did have something to do with it. ISIS started in Iraq, and ISIS sent its troops into Syria to expand their sick view of the world.
You want to place the blame on someone start here.

We are leading from behind. However, America citizens are/were tired of war. This had to affect some of Obama's thinking in the Middle East. Again, we had to deal with a bad situation, and he made it worse. The next president is going to handed the -hit sandwich, and good luck dealing with it.
I will post the Wikipedia history of ISIS. It is really long. |
This reply is rambling and has no point at all.
The point was made by a poster and he stated why he is not proud any longer.
I join in that, and it is not all about the President. We have become a nation of hypocrites. We say we care but ignored mass slaughter. We seem to only care in ripe political situations. We say we care, but are allowing our very laws to be held in contempt on everything from immigration to race to.....and this always gets my blood boiling....sanctuary cities...set up to harbor law breakers (fresh in my mind because today, the democrats voted down a bill to withhold funds from the cities protecting lawbreakers).
No you ramble on..your goal appears to be to exonerate Obama and do the honorable thing...blame Bush.
Nobody is aiming at Obama alone...a few instances were cited as dissapointment a, but the post you are trying to respond to is about a country that lacks respects from others, lacks respect for its own laws and seems to be just happy with it.
