Is Obama Losing Iraq?

Powerline  "After eight years, enough is enough. If the Iraqis are capable of governing themselves and joining the modern world, they will do so. If not, they won’t. But if they fail, it won’t be the fault of the Obama administration or the USA." John Hinderaker

I couldn't disagree more with this position. The issue is no longer helping the Iraqis build a nation; it is protecting American security by holding back Iran which is licking its chops over the thought of that nation being a Persian Gulf superpower.
I believe Obama does not care if Iran is the winner in all this and Iraq falls under their hegemony; he will blame it all on President Bush with the support of Democrats in Congress and a compliant media.
The next president is the one who will inherit a mess like you won't believe to clean up. TD 

Art work at right by Rich Terrell and Norman Somebody.
"You can expect the theme for Obama’s reelection being one that shows his leadership, tough decision making, and proven results in bringing our enemies to justice. The other debacles such as Gitmo, his world apology tours, handing over Central Europe to a Putin-controlled Russia, pushing Israeli relations to extremes, and his unwillingness to confront Iran will go unmentioned."

Heritage: The Decline and Fall of Obama’s Foreign Policy Czars  "As another Foreign Policy commentator put it, “the president’s decision to appoint so many czars was a classic rookie mistake that has not really worked out very well for anyone.”"
