ISIS on the offensive in Iraq

[Lemur]

We need to know what Lemur's representative is saying on this subject.

Haven't heard anything, so I did some Googling. Paul Ryan hasn't made a big speech about Iraq and ISIS that I can find.

He did make a more general Obama-is-weak-and-a-dictator speech on June 11th, which kind of addressed Iraq:

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Wednesday slammed President Obama’s foreign policy, calling it “weak and indecisive” and damaging to U.S. credibility abroad.

“What I’ve seen is, in far too many cases, the president doesn’t back up his words with actions,” said Ryan in a wide-ranging speech at the Center for a New American Security’s annual conference in Washington.

“It’s not that he says one thing and does another. It’s that he doesn’t do enough,”said the House Budget Committee chairman and 2012 GOP vice presidential nominee.

“The instinct is to go for the bare minimum – just enough to show concern, but not enough to get results,” he continued. “And after five years, I think it’s worn down our credibility.”

As you can see, not a lot of substance. You can rest assured, however, that when my representative takes a position, it will be craven and counter-factual. That's how he rolls.

The de-Baathification was something a lot of highly qualified people thought was a great freaking idea, and that also really didn't work out at all.

I award you +1 internets for Epic Understatement.
