NARRATIVE: Chris Wallace Presses Cheney on Iran: Didn’t You ‘Leave President Obama with a Mess’?

THE BOY ON THE BEACH: OBAMA’S FOREIGN POLICY FAILURES GO VIRAL: At The Wilderness, Stephen Miller writes:

It wasn’t “the United States” that let Obama get away with declaring “I didn’t set that red line, the world did” only to have him to walk out the door like a dejected child needing an afternoon snack and media-induced nap. No, that was our media: rather than hold him accountable for his own declarations of removing Assad and setting a “red line,” they simply shrugged, muttered a word or two about how war Totally Sucks Anyway, and went back to writing think pieces on the cultural impact of the President’s NCAA tournament bracket.

Because of DC media’s nerd-prom infatuation at the thought of being a part, any part, of this socially cool West Wing Presidency, we have to turn to other sources in calling out this ridiculous clipboard hashtag foreign policy. Earlier this year in a brief appearance during Jon Stewart’s Night of Too Many Stars, and much to the horror of the crowd, stand up comedian Bill Burr tore into Michelle Obama over the White House’s penchant for doing nothing to stop these events except guilt-shaming us with puppydog eyes:

“She’s sitting there holding up those hashtags, Bring Back Our Girls.  Remember that hashtag #BringBackOurGirls? That blew my mind, like, why are you showing me that? I’m a stand up comedian. Like what am I going to do to get back the girls? Why don’t you look across the dinner table — you see that guy? That is the Leader Of The Free World. Tell him to pick up a phone, call some Navy SEALs and solve it….what am I going to do? Show up with a sharpened mic stand? HEY EVERYONE MICHELLE TOLD ME TO BRING THEM BACK”

SO THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION DID ALL THE STUFF THEY ACCUSED BUSH OF DOING. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS, BUSH WON THE WAR, AND THEY LOST IT. Exclusive: 50 Spies Say ISIS Intelligence Was Cooked. “The cancer was within the senior level of the intelligence command.”

To be fair, each administration got what it wanted.

 WAIT, WHAT: Al Qaeda Mag, Occupy Mag… at this point what difference does it make? Al Qaeda Mag Urges Attack on Koch Brothers, Buffett, Bloomberg

 USA TODAY COLUMN: It’s Not Just Syria: The Obama-Hillary Mideast Debacles.

IT’S PRETTY MUCH THE MILO MINDERBINDER WAR NOW: In Major Humiliation For Obama, Iran Sends Soldiers To Support Russian Troops In Syria.

 SEE, I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE POINTING THIS OUT. EVEN IN THE FRIENDLY NEW YORK TIMES, FROM FRIENDLY COLUMNIST ROGER COHEN, WE GET THIS: Obama’s Syrian Nightmare.

LET US STOP PRETENDING THAT THE IRAQ WAR WAS THE WORST THING EVER. Especially when, as Glenn has pointed out on numerous occasions, regime change in Iraq was a bipartisan issue from the 1990s until, oh, about the time Saddam was captured in late 2003, and that Joe Biden and Barack Obama were taking credit for Bush’s winning of the surge as an election year talking point in 2012.

Given Iraq’s current state, perhaps someone should ask Colin Powell if he still thinks you, “you break it, you own it” applies to the current administration, now that he’s an Obama Democrat.

HS:  Riders took it on the chin against a very good Grandview team but with three weeks to go they STILL have an outside shot at the post season.  A win against the Whitehall Rams is a must and NOT out of the question.

College:  My 3-1 Polar Bears found out why theywont be playing in the post season.  They lost to perrenial playff team Mt Union 52-7.

 Final Four:  TCU. Clemson, and Utah.  Then there are the issues.  Blemish?  Alabama, Michigan, Boise, Stanford, Mississippi.  Soft schedule?  Baylor, Mississippi, Boise and tOSU.  Lets keep playing.

NFL:  Patriots v Broncos and Packers v Cardinals.  Offenses vs defenses.
