Panetta BLAMES Obama for IS - 2nd Term Blues

Fox News: Reports in essence that former Secretary of State Leon Panetta places the blame for the growth of IS in Syria on President Obama and his refusal to arm secular rebels in 2012.  Also states he supported keeping troops in Iraq after 2011.

Lets Get Real:

The simple answer is that Panetta and co, that being Hillary Clinton and the Defence Department does not want to take the blame for IS, they are quite willing to throw President Obama under the bus, those that have left or want to a job after 2017 are creating a defence against the charge that they dropped the ball when it comes to IS.   The problem for the Oval is that it is not running again and its VP is a laughing stock when it comes to the prospects that he could win the Democratic nomination.  If Obama had a dog in the race then people who be more afraid of speaking out, but VP Biden is punchline for jokes.   The nomination is for Hillary Clinton to lose, thus she has been making distance between herself and Obama when it comes to national security.   That is the price that Obama pays for having a weak VP with no prospects of being POTUS.
