Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Saturday blamed the Obama administration for reports that the Iraqi city of Fallujah had fallen to al-Qaeda forces. McCain and Graham had been vocal critics of President Obama’s decision to withdraw US troops from Iraq by the end of 2011, and they called the reports of al-Qaeda gaining control in Fallujah and elsewhere “as tragic as they are predictable.” “While many Iraqis are responsible for this strategic disaster, the administration cannot escape its share of the blame,” the Republicans said in a statement. “When President Obama withdrew all US forces from Iraq in 2011, over the objections of our military leaders and commanders on the ground, many of us predicted that the vacuum would be filled by America's enemies and would emerge as a threat to US national security interests."

Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Saturday blamed the
Obama administration for reports that the Iraqi city of Fallujah had fallen to al-Qaeda
forces.
McCain and Graham had been vocal critics of President Obama’s decision to withdraw US troops
from Iraq by the end of 2011, and they called the reports of al-Qaeda gaining control in Fallujah
and elsewhere “as tragic as they are predictable.”
“While many Iraqis are responsible for this strategic disaster, the administration cannot escape
its share of the blame,” the Republicans said in a statement. “When President Obama withdrew
all US forces from Iraq in 2011, over the objections of our military leaders and commanders on
the ground, many of us predicted that the vacuum would be filled by America’s enemies and
would emerge as a threat to US national security interests.”

“Sadly, that reality is now clearer than ever,” McCain and Graham said. “What’s sadder still, the
thousands of brave Americans who fought, shed their blood, and lost their friends to bring peace
to Fallujah and Iraq are now left to wonder whether these sacrifices were in vain.”

McCain, Graham blast Obama for Al Qaeda-related takeover of Fallujah, call situation 'predictable' -Moslem Press
Citing police leaders, the Associated Press on Saturday reported that Fallujah had “fallen
completely into the hands of fighters” from al-Qaeda’s Iraq affiliate. The city was a key Sunni
stronghold during the Iraq war and the site of important battles between the US and insurgents.
A State Department spokesman voiced concern over the developments, and, in a speech in
Baghdad, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki vowed, “There will be no retreat until we eliminate
this gang and rid the people of Anbar of their evil acts.”

The senators faulted the administration’s policy in Syria — where they have called for a US
military intervention — for fueling al-Qaeda’s resurgence. And they said the administration must
avoid a similar deterioration in Afghanistan by leaving a residual force of US troops.

“We must apply the painful lessons of Iraq in Afghanistan,” McCain and Graham said. “Talk of a
‘zero option’ must be dismissed as the surest way to squander all of our hard-won gains, thereby
allowing Afghanistan to re-emerge as a safe haven for al-Qaeda and its terrorist allies. President
Obama finally needs to decide on the missions and troop levels necessary to secure US national
security interests and support our Afghan partners beyond 2014.” The Hill
