Paul Begala summary: We should start nuclear war with Russia because Hillary was too dumb to campaign in WI/PA/MI.  Paul, when Ed Driscol called you guys the John Birch Left in 2014 – honest, he didn’t mean for you to take the metaphor so literally.

UPDATE: Begala, of course, mocked Romney in 2012: “Potus nails Mitt for saying Russia our #1 geostrategic threat. ‘The 1980’s called. They want their foreign police back.’ Bam!”  And the beards have all grown longer overnight.

OUCH: “Those sailors did not have the basic seamanship skills, but by God, they got their sensitivity training, they got their race relations training, they got their sexual harassment training.”

HEH: “What did we blow up? Leading from behind.”

SORRY, TEAM OBAMA DOESN’T GET TO REWRITE HISTORY TO COVER PRESIDENT OBAMA’S LOUSY FOREIGN POLICY RECORD: Glenn’s posted on the Fareed Zakaria CNN Obama CYA. Truth wills out on Instapundit. In an election year Obama drew a tough guy’s red line forbidding the use of chemical weapons. A year later? Obamanoid fecklessness. The bottom line: Obama lied, Syrians continue to die.

SEC DEF MATTIS SAYS: Syria still has chemical weapons. Well, Obama lied, people died.

RUSSIA DENIES SYRIA USED CHEMICAL WEAPONS: The U.S. blasts Russia’s denial.

A question CNN will never ask: “Why is Putin covering for Obama?”

THE MESS OBAMA LEFT IN SYRIA: It wasn’t smart diplomacy.

The April 4th nerve gas attack revealed Obama’s reliance on Russia to remove Syria’s chemical weapons was a delusion if not an intentional masquerade. Obama didn’t eliminate Syrian WMD. He lied and Syrians continue to die.

CONGRESS MUST INVESTIGATE THE SPURIOUS SYRIAN CHEMICAL WEAPONS DEAL OBAMA MADE WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN: How much influence did Putin have in the Obama Administration? Syrians continue to die and it sure looks like Obama lied. 

QUESTION ASKED: How Is Syria Still Using Chemical Weapons?

DO NOT TRUST CONTENT FROM SUSAN RICE: In January, Susan Rice Assured NPR the Obama Admin Removed Chemical Weapons From Syria.

This time, he said he wants to ‘vomit or yell about Mosul’ after someone gave their seat to a uniformed soldier.”

Syria updates soon

THE 1980S CALLED: Democrats who spent eight years pretending everything with Russia is fine now find themselves faced with cold reality. “Perhaps the president can be forgiven for not being more forthright, since it would require acknowledging how spectacularly his reset failed.”

SHOCKER: Iran Caught Importing Missile Technology.  Where’d they get the money for all that illicit stuff?

Theresa May praises Trump but pledges end to ‘failed’ foreign wars.

But? Trump made similar pledges throughout his campaign, so CNN’s headline reads like nothing more than a lame attempt to paint Trump as a warmonger.

BRENDAN O’NEILL ON FACEBOOK: “This is the surreal and painful truth: if Hillary had won there’s a very good chance she’d be bombing Syrians and Yemenis, rather than simply denying them visas, and no one would have protested.”
