6. It's Obama's fault

Republican Senator John McCain said the takeover of Mosul reflected President Barack Obama's failure to leave a US force in Iraq to help assure stability.

"There's no doubt that we could have left troops behind, as we have in Korea and Germany and Bosnia, and didn't, and so it is now chaos, and so you will see greater and greater attacks and ... chaos in Iraq," Mr McCain said.

Apparently McCain is still bitter he lost his chance to be an even bigger war criminal than those mentioned in the OP. Nothing short of perpetual war will satisfy them. Are they too stupid to learn any lesson from these fiascos, or is what ttranspired what they had in mind in the first place?
