Daniel Larison explains how the Republican presidential candidates are woefully ignorant about foreign policy, criticizing Obama for things that were beyond his reach or which Bush did. There is much to criticize about the current administration's handling of some matters but instead of doing that, the candidates are making stuff up to fit the narrative of Obama as weak and blind to the dangers of jihadism.
