Reports coming out of Ramadi, Iraq and Palmyra, Syria convey hundreds of dead and burned bodies littering streets and thousands of people displaced and on the run. Loss after loss, setback after setback, the White House remains resolved: The president's Islamic State [ISIS] strategy is an "overall success," said White House spokesman Josh Earnest on May 19.

Lest we forget, less than a decade ago, nearly 1,300 Americans died fighting in Ramadi. Soon after, the U.S. returned control of that city, which had become one of Iraq's safest, to Iraqi forces.

National Security Advisor Susan Rice, the same woman who blamed Benghazi on a second-rate video and claimed Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl served "with honor and distinction," told a group of war veterans the administration had "ended two wars responsibly." Responsibly? I suppose the devil is in the details, but the last I checked, "responsibly" means sensibly, dutifully and conscientiously. That the Obama administration pulled out of Iraq prematurely and failed to secure a basic status of forces agreement is better defined as irresponsible...reckless...JV squad-ish.
