Jim Geraghty:

I suppose we should be thankful the president wasn’t wearing green lipstick during his wacky video for BuzzFeed.

This is embarrassing.

The same time Obama was playing with his self
stick the city of al-Baghdadi was attacked from two sides by ISIS and fell that same night.

“This is embarrassing.” That’s it?? Embarrassing, that’s all??

It’s embarrassing when you have a piece of broccoli in your teeth or a bit of tp on your shoe. This is so far past embarrassing, it’s in the next galaxy.

This POS is the president??? The leader of the Free World? Having a video made of himself while he’s clowning around in a mirror or playing with a “selfie” stick???

Lord.

@MM: And these are his good points (?)!

How often has it been noted that Obama runs distraction campaigns?
Is he trying to distract us from THIS???

The Central Intelligence Agency, working with American troops during the occupation of Iraq, repeatedly purchased nerve-agent rockets from a secretive Iraqi seller, part of a previously undisclosed effort to ensure that old chemical weapons remaining in Iraq did not fall into the hands of terrorists or militant groups, according to current and former American officials.

The extraordinary arms purchase plan, known as Operation Avarice, began in 2005 and continued into 2006, and the American military deemed it a nonproliferation success. It led to the United States’ acquiring and destroying at least 400 Borak rockets, one of the internationally condemned chemical weapons that Saddam Hussein’s Baathist government manufactured…..

These munitions were remnants of an Iraqi special weapons program that was abandoned long before the 2003 invasion, and they turned up sporadically during the American occupation in buried caches, as part of improvised bombs or on black markets.

The potency of sarin samples from the purchases, as well as tightly held assessments about risks the munitions posed, buttresses veterans’ claims that during the war the military did not share important intelligence about battlefield perils with those at risk or maintain an adequate medical system for treating victims of chemical exposure.
….
Not long after Operation Avarice had secured its 400th rocket, in 2006, American troops were exposed several times to other chemical weapons. Many of these veterans said that they had not been warned by their units about the risks posed by the chemical weapons and that their medical care and follow-up were substandard, in part because military doctors seemed unaware that chemical munitions remained in Iraq.
…..
The analysis of sarin samples from 2005 found that the purity level reached 13 percent — higher than expected given the relatively low quality and instability of Iraq’s sarin production in the 1980s, officials said.
…..
The new data became grounds for concern. “Borak rockets will be more hazardous than previously assessed,” one internal report noted. It added a warning: the use of a Borak in an improvised bomb “could effectively disperse the sarin nerve agent.”

I was wondering how many bought “selfie-sticks” to take pictures of their *ssh*les. So far it looks like there’s at least 1.

I hope he takes the time to take a selfie when he walks out the White House door for the last time.

@Nanny G: Awesome. So a “news” outlet that claimed Saddam didn’t have any WMD is now reporting once again that he did. I know of least one case whereby two individuals died from exposure to the contents of a 155 WMD round. But don’t worry. Very shortly a leftist troll will appear and tell us that they “knew all along” that Saddam possessed these and that the contents contained therein posed absolutely no threat because they were too degraded. Both lies of course.

Obama is just relating to his non-thinking, parroting constituents. He learned this in the hood when he smoked the “weed” and learned the hand jive to get votes.
