Laura Ingraham discovers Bush is to blame for ISIS: ‘Iraq is worse than before we went in’ By David Edwards rawstory.com Sunday, August 10, 2014 11:08 EDT Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham lamented over the weekend that Iraq was worse now because President George W. Bush had invaded the country in 2003. During a panel segment on Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace asked Ingraham if President Barack Obama had made the correct decision by ordering airstrikes against ISIS, a group of Islamic radicals who are taking advantage of a power vacuum in Iraq to slowly seize control of the country. “It’s really hard, I don’t think you can judge how he did right now,” she admitted. “We’re almost in an impossible situation. The America people really have no appetite for America to reengage. They don’t want us to go into Syria.” “He’s now reluctantly seeing the perils of inaction,” the radio host continued. “If we do nothing here, then what? I mean, let’s say Iraq does fall, which I think is a possibility. Iraq may fall. If, indeed, there are no boots are the ground, not going to happen, can’t happen.” Ingraham added that she was “not saying” she wanted to see U.S. forces return to Iraq: “I don’t know if there’s a good solution right now, which is a horrible thing to say for the United States of America.” Later in the segment, Ingraham pointed out that al Qaeda — through its ISIS offshoot group — was “becoming the Islamic state.” “We tried to do all these things in Iraq, now Iraq is worse off!” she exclaimed. “I mean, I hate to say that, but Iraq is worse than before we went in to Iraq. Christians are gone, there’s no sense of order at all.”“Saddam Hussein is gone. That’s a good thing, but what’s left? A more embolden Islamic state.” Watch the video below from Fox News Sunday, broadcast Aug. 10, 2014.

Any comparison of Obama's illegal activity when compared with Nixon's makes Nixon look like an absolute saint. Your memory is faulty, Dave. I liked Nixon. Thought his handling of the anti-war movement stank. Loved what he did with foreign policy. He made great strides with both the Soviets and the Chinese. But his paranoia led him to abuse the Constitution in so many ways. Usually unnecessarily. He actually did use the CIA, military intelligence, FBI and the IRS against his enemies. He ruined careers. He ordered break ins and burglaries. He had phones wiretapped. Based on what came out in the Watergate hearings, it would have surprised me if he had ordered people killed. G. Gordon Liddy would have done it with a smile on his face. I was appalled. The enormity of what he had done was immense. Nothing Obama has done comes anywhere close to what Nixon did.
