Rice to Iraq War vets: Hey, we “ended two wars responsibly,” y’know ................................................................ Hot Air.com ^ \| May 20, 2015 \| ED MORRISEY This claim from national security adviser Susan Rice stands in such contrast to reality that Foreign Policy’s Paul McCleary gave it the subheadline, “Really? Really?” Speaking to a group of Iraq War veterans who began the day wondering how the US and Iraq could possibly have lost Ramadi, a city for which Americans bled to pacify, Rice tried a novel approach to the question — complete and utter denial of reality. McCleary notes, “Susan Rice whiffs” in the main headline: Even before National Security Advisor Susan Rice started speaking Tuesday night, at a poignant German Embassy photography exhibit of soldiers wounded in combat, U.S. vets there who had served in Iraq were privately fuming over the fall of Ramadi — and how it could have been allowed to happen. Rice further stoked their frustration. “Now that we have ended two wars responsibly, and brought home hundreds of American troops, we salute this new generation of veterans,” Rice told the audience of about 150 people who were seated between the hauntingly beautiful mural-sized portraits of severely disabled veterans. Such a description of the U.S. military departure from Iraq in 2011 — when American forces left after failing to negotiate a security agreement to stay — raised eyebrows across the crowd that included active duty and former troops and officers, among them at least two generals and former Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen. “Responsibly, right?” one retired Army officer said sarcastically to *FP’s* Lara Jakes afterward. Point of order: which wars does Rice believe to have ended? We’ve certainly walked away from one war in Iraq, and we’re in the process of walking away from another in Afghanistan. Neither of those wars “ended” at all, not even the one in Iraq for the US. We’re currently conducting air raids around Ramadi in an attempt to push back ISIS as the Iraq army flees both the city and the weapons we’re providing them, as well as elsewhere in Iraq, while our coalition partners bomb Syria. Rice was only toting the White House’s water on this. Josh Earnest tried selling the same argument to Jonathan Karl, to the ABC News reporter’s amazement: White House: Obama's Strategy Against The Islamic State Has 'Overall' Been a SuccessAndrew Malcolm can’t quite believe it either, or the lack of pressure from most of the DC media: He added, “We have seen a lot of success. But we’ve also seen significant periods of setback.” No kidding. The loss of Ramadi. The loss of Mosul. The loss of Falluja, each of which required significant investments of American treasure and lives to capture in the first place. Poof. Lost, just like that. (The full Earnest press briefing for May 19 should be posted here sometime today.) We have no way of knowing what kind of glue this White House staff is sniffing. But they’re taking something powerful to so seriously distort their thinking. They talk of the ebb and flow of protracted battle. This one has been mostly ebb. … The D.C. media have been consumed in recent weeks re-litigating the Iraq war by getting every prominent Republican on record on what he or she might or might not have done had they been president 12 years ago and known or not known about Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction. Those news people should now watch the video above — to the end. So … the White House believes that two wars have ended even though we’re continuing to fight both of them, and think that the rapid expansion of ISIS shows that their strategy is a success. With that sense of unreality, the failure of American policy abroad suddenly becomes … much more understandable. Perhaps the White House just needs better spokespeople: Bagdad Bob: Iraqi Information Minister

Real life smacks Baltimore’s Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake upside her head .......................................................................... May 26, 2015 By Kevin Collins coachisright.com It wasn’t supposed to be this way for Baltimore’s Black Democrats. They are in charge because – well they should be – it IS Baltimore. The town is a Black city and a Democrat vote harvesting plantation so what could go wrong for a young up and comer like Black female Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake? Of course she is not up to the job, but so what! Democrats never are. All she had to do is what Democrats always do, say whatever was necessary to get her base to the polls and then blame Republicans when the bottom fell out of her empty promises. She was cruising toward taking the Senate seat Barbara Mikulski will be vacating in 2016 and now all of those plans are going up in smoke because she has been exposed as a fake. When you are a young Black female Democrat and the mayor of Baltimore the only thing between you and being a Senate super star should be the calendar. But real life has smacked her upside the head. *When her racist Baltimore City* State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby went “All Out Sharpton” and indicted the whole Baltimore Police Department for everything she could think of, real life smacked Rawlings-Blake upside her head. The cops are going dead and Rawlings-Blake is holding the bag. Baltimore’s police are not following the script that was supposed to get her to the Senate. They are refusing to put themselves in danger for her or her base. Her city is descending into a cesspool of violent crime that is worse than it was before Freddie Gray died. Now that she has to actually make decisions she hasn’t the faintest idea how to do that because she is a typical Democrat empty suit/skirt. As Democrats have taken tighter and tighter control of America’s cities they have developed a dangerous addiction to electing people whose only qualification is being a good Democrat.** Most of the time the fools they put in office can fake their way through; but in the case of Baltimore, New York, Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles, Oakland and dozens of small and medium sized cities across the country, the Democrats’ disregard for qualification is catching up to them. Baltimore will be Rawlings-Blake’s last stop, not her launching pad – real life has smacked her upside her head. Source: foxnews.com
