HARF MAKES BAHGDAD BOB SOUND LIKE JESUS: Marie Harf Claims ‘Iraqi Forces Held Their Line’
Marie Harf, the State Department Spokeswoman, gave a shout out to the Iraqi army for the fall of Ramadi. Despite the fact that they ran and surrendered to ISIS militants.
Harf told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, “The Iraqi security forces have held their lines on the outside of the city.”
It didn’t take long for the Twitter-sphere to blow up in dumbfounded reaction. Like Bloomberg columnist, Josh Rogin:
.@marieharf is on @wolfblitzer praising the Iraqi army: "The Iraqi security forces have held their lines on the outside of the city."

@joshrogin @marieharf @wolfblitzer I figured they'd fallen back to Basra. Or Detroit.
