Exclusive: Obama Told Lawmakers Criticism of His Syria Policy is 'Horsesh*t'
Josh Rogin
Hillary Clinton and Congressmen alike have called on Obama to arm Syria’s rebels. But the President fumed at lawmakers in a private meeting for suggesting he should’ve done more.
President Obama got angry at lawmakers who suggested in a private meeting that he should have armed the Syrian rebels, calling the criticism “horseshit.”
The argument that America should have done more in Syria, made for years by foreign policy leaders in both parties and several members of Obama’s senior national security team, was brought back to the fore this past weekend. Obama and Hillary Clinton gave dueling interviews in which they publicly split on whether the security and humanitarian catastrophe in Syria could have been avoided if the United States had played a larger role. Obama’s outburst on July 31, one week prior, reveals the criticism was already getting to him, even before the White House tried to deflect Clinton’s remarks as pre-presidential political posturing.
My wife had ABC news on last night and would you believe I heard NOTHING about the criticism of Mr. Barack by Hillary or his response?
As soon as it was over I switched to FOX and heard about it AND about the atrocities in Iraq at the hand of ISIS. I only heard about hungry people huddling on a mountaintop on ABC.
The blatant cover-up has reached phenomenal proportions!
