Neoconservatives and Republican presidential aspirants are jumping all over the president’s 2014 statement that “we don’t have a strategy yet” against the so-called Islamic State.

Of course, they leave off the rest of President Obama’s statement: that U.S. generals are drafting their plan while allies in the region are also being consulted.

When the very people who conned us into the Iraq war now blame the president for the blowback conditions they caused, it gives you a whole new definition of chutzpah.
