I agree blaming Obama is dumb here but going over Bush and rumsfeld doesn't change a damn thing...

No but it's setting the historical record straight which is invaluably important - be it smug or not. One group of ideological, condescending and ultimately no-nothing morons emboldened by the reverberations in their echo chamber led a trillion dollar war that killed hundreds of thousands of people and made the security of the U.S. and a whole region worse off now and likely for generations. Those people should rightly have the full weight of history and criticism heavily levied against them for posterity's sake at least.
How would you feel if you were the family of a loved soldier who was killed in Iraq? Would you think their sacrifice was worth the ideological priors of an administration unhinged from reason and accountability? Would you feel like it's appropriate now for those people to start chiming in trying not only to absolve themselves of blame but to shift blame to the person who was handed the smouldering ashes and had to do something with it?
