I don't remember McCain bashing Obama for congratulating Putin on his election in 2012.
Barack Obama Gave Vladimir Putin Congratulatory Call in 2012 | National Review
And as for attacking Trump for ignoring the advice in his briefing book not to congratulate Putin, how about the fact that Obama ignored the advice from numerous people not to withdraw from Iraq without leaving a residual force. Indeed, McCain was one of those who strongly warned Obama that failing to leave a residual force would create a vacuum that terrorists would fill. Obama's failure to heed this sound advice led to the rise of ISIS and to ISIS taking control of a huge chunk of Iraq and Syria, not to mention that it led to the deaths of the thousands of people who were killed when ISIS came to power.
W signed the agreement to withdraw US troops, not Obama. ISIS had been around since 2005, when W fired Saddamās troops but let them keep their weapons.
Obama cleaned up most of Wās messes but not that one. At least he didnāt blow thousands of US lives correcting the mistake.
Nah, he just let ISIS create a Caliphate that killed, raped and terrorized people over huge areas of the Middle East...creating a massive refugee exodus that is now causing problems in most European countries.
More US service men died in Afghanistan under Barry than died there under W.
As for Obama "cleaning up" messes? After eight years of his administration the Middle East was in far worse shape than it ever was under Bush! Everything Obama touched in the Middle East pretty much turned to shit.
Obama pretty much left the Middle East to its own devices. He went in briefly in Libya at the behest of the UN but thatās about it. W destabilized the area and owns the blame for what happened subsequently.
Astounding how truly stupid your posts are.
1.Obama cleared the field for ISIS, making certain that they had no opposition.

"Obama's 2012 Debate Boast: I Didn't Want to Leave Any Troops in Iraq
Obama then denied that he ever supported a status of forces agreement that would have left troops in Iraq:
MR. ROMNEY: [W]ith regards to Iraq, you and I agreed, I believe, that there should have been a status of forces agreement. Did you ā
PRESIDENT OBAMA: That's not true.
MR. ROMNEY: Oh, you didn't ā you didn't want a status of forces agreement?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: No, but what I ā what I would not have done is left 10,000 troops in Iraq that would tie us down. That certainly would not help us in the Middle East.
"Here's one thing I've learned as commander in chief," Obama said at the end of the exchange. "You've got to be clear, both to our allies and our enemies, about where you stand and what you mean."

And this:
"This month, Colin Kahl, the senior Pentagon official in charge of Iraq policy at the time, explained why the White House insisted on Iraqās parliament approving the changes to the SOFA.
He wrote in
Politico Magazine that in 2011 Iraqās prime minister,
Nouri al-Maliki, ātold U.S. negotiators that he was willing to sign an executive memorandum of understanding that included these legal protections.
Yet this time around, Obama is willing to accept an agreement from Iraqās foreign ministry on U.S. forces in Iraq without a vote of Iraqās parliament. āWe believe we need a separate set of assurances from the Iraqis,ā one senior U.S. defense official told The Daily Beast on Sunday. This official said this would likely be an agreement or exchange of diplomatic notes from the Iraqās foreign ministry. āWe basically need a piece of paper from them,ā another U.S. official involved in the negotiations told The Daily Beast.
The official didnāt explain why the parliamentary vote, so crucial three years ago, was no longer needed.ā

Obama rejected it.
3. Destroyed Libya, leaving a failed state in its wake, and a vacuum into which terrorism flew, and grew
4. Alienated our allies like Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Israel
WASHINGTONāIn reaching a historic agreement to restrain Iranās nuclear program, President Barack Obama effectively shredded the foreign-policy playbook that had guided the U.S. for three decades....Obama also may have created a more unstable Middle East and, in the process, torn apart longtime U.S. ties with traditional allies such as Israel and Saudi Arabia.

When the Egyptian people declined to be governed by the 7th century savages, the Muslim Brotherhood, Obama had a fit:
"The U.S. government has decided privately to act as if the military takeover of Egypt was a coup, temporarily suspending most forms of military aid, despite deciding not to announce publicly a coup determination one way or the other, according to a leading U.S. senator.
In the latest example of its poorly understood Egypt policy, the Obama administrationhas decided to temporarily suspend the disbursement of most direct military aid, the delivery of weapons to the Egyptian military, and some forms of economic aid to the Egyptiangovernment while it conducts a broad review of the relationship."

Obama is the weakest of U.S. presidents, he had humiliating defeats in the region. Under him the Islamic awakening happened,ā Younesi
saidin a Farsi language interview with Iranās semi-official Fars News Agency. āAmericans witnessed their greatest defeats in Obamaās era: Terrorism expanded, [the] U.S. had huge defeats under Obama [and] that is why they want to compromise with Iran,ā Younesi said.
The criticism of Obama echoes comments made recently by
otherworld leaders and even former members of the presidentās own staff,
such asFormer Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
Top Iranian Official: Obama is āThe Weakest of U.S. Presidentsā

Obama....almost as great a failure in foreign policy as he was in domestic.
Now....get his shoe polish off your tongue.
