Al qaeda-inspired militants have seized control of two northern cities in Iraq, as they threaten to take over the capitol city of Baghdad.
Those against Obama's withdrawal of troops from Iraq will immediately blame this on Obama. Those making such arguments are calling for the international version of an Obama-phone, or Obama-money. Why do I say this?

These people won't stand up and fight for their own freedom against some rag-tag militants.. Why in the world would we advocate sending in our military to do it for them, especially when they won't stand on their own?

These calls to redistribute our military might to stand for people who won't stand for themselves has got to stop. It's time for liberals at home to quit calling for redistribution of wealth to the able bodied who don't want to work. It's time for neo-cons to quit calling for redistribution of our military might for people who don't want to stand and fight for their own freedom. This Obama-phone like foreign policy has got to stop.

On Wednesday, militants also took Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit, as soldiers and security forces abandoned their posts and yielded ground once controlled by U.S. forces.
On Tuesday, the militants seized control of much of Iraq's second-largest city, Mosul, sending an estimated half a million people fleeing from their homes. As in Tikrit, the Sunni militants were able to move in after police and military forces melted away following relatively brief clashes.
The Iraqi military also abandoned some posts in the ethnically mixed flashpoint city of Kirkuk that are now being held by the Kurdish security forces known as peshmerga, Brig. Halogard Hikmat, a senior peshmerga official told the Associated Press.

"While many Iraqis are responsible for this strategic disaster, the administration cannot escape its share of the blame. When President Obama withdrew all U.S. forces from Iraq in 2011, over the objections of our military leaders and commanders on the ground, many of us predicted that the vacuum would be filled by America's enemies and would emerge as a threat to U.S. national security interests. Sadly, that reality is now clearer than ever," said McCain, of Arizona, and Graham, of South Carolina, in a statement.
