John McCain: The Fall of Fallujah Is Obama’s Fault

McCain: Obama ‘Absolutely’ Responsible for Fall of Fallujah (Washington Free Beacon)

Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) said President Obama was “absolutely” responsible for the fall of Fallujah, a key city in western Iraq, to forces linked to al-Qaeda.

“We lost 96 brave soldiers and Marines in the second battle of Fallujah, 600 wounded,” he said Wednesday night. “And now in Fallujah there are vehicles driving around with black flags. That is an abject, abysmal failure of Maliki, but also of the United States of America because we didn’t leave a residual force.”

Al Jazeera America host John Seigenthaler then asked him if President Obama was responsible, to which McCain responded, “Absolutely.”
