The new GOP neocon strategy on Iraq is to blame Obama (then bomb Iran if they put JEB! in)

We haven't finished the job, Amerika! You're next Bush (and war)
is coming.  Just be patient!
(Washington Post) - After struggling for days with questions about the genesis of the Iraq War, the GOP presidential candidates appear to be coalescing behind a new strategy: Shift the focus to what’s happening in Iraq right now, and blame it all on Obama.
As a number of us have noted, the current line of questioning for Republicans and Hillary Clinton about Iraq — “would you have supported the invasion knowing what we know now?” — is deeply flawed, and risks whitewashing the real history of the run-up to the war. Now, however, it seems possible that this weak line of questioning might actually aid and abet the current GOP strategy for talking about Iraq.
