Rick Santorum told supporters that it was because of bad decisions made by Obama and Hillary Clinton as State Department Secretary that ISIS was created.
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum says President Obama and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton bear responsibility for creating the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
“ISIS is a creation of a political decision by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to abandon Iraq — against all of our generals’ recommendations, against all of the policy recommendations,” Santorum told supporters at the Florida GOP’s Sunshine Summit in Orlando on Saturday.
“Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, under her watch, decided politics above the security of our country and the stability and security of the world,” he said.
ISIS has claimed responsibility for the series of bombings and shootings that killed at least 120 people in Paris on Friday.
Offering support for France, Santorum said that “we will stand with them and pray for them, and if we had better leadership, help them.”
And later:
Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, slammed both of their reactions Saturday, saying Clinton “never defined the enemy” as radical Islamists.
Obama, he said, “is either uninformed, dishonest or delusional and probably all three.”
…“Barack Obama [and] Hillary Clinton have created the most dangerous world that any new president is going to have to assume the leadership of,” he told the audience. “That’s why your decision is so important. You are going to have to make a tough decision.”
He’s pretty dead on right.
