Debate Over Who, in U.S., Is to Blame for Ukraine
By PETER BAKERMARCH 5, 2014
WASHINGTON — In Moscow, especially in the not-so-good old days, the
question almost always asked is kto vinovat: “Who is to blame?” The
American capital now finds itself engaged in that very Russian exercise ever
since President Vladimir V. Putin’s troops entered Ukraine.
Many on the right maintain that Moscow’s land grab is President Obama’s
fault for pursuing a foreign policy of weakness. Some on the left contend
that it is former President George W. Bush’s fault for invading Iraq and
providing a precedent. And across the political spectrum there are
accusations that it is the intelligence community’s fault for failing to
anticipate that Russia would send troops to the Crimean Peninsula.

Point by Point, State Department Rebuts Putin on UkraineMARCH 5, 2014
The who-lost-Ukraine debate eerily echoes the sorts of recriminations common
during the Cold War, starting with the who-lost-China reproaches after
Communists took power in Beijing in 1949, but this time fueled by 21st-
century technology and flavored by 21st-century politics. On Twitter and
cable television talk shows as well as in speeches, columns and
congressional hearings, partisans have wasted little time trying to frame
the crisis in Eastern Europe as an indictment of their political opponents.
As president, Mr. Obama naturally has absorbed most of the criticism,
accused of being too soft not only in his dealings with Mr. Putin of Russia,
but also with Syria, Iran and other rogue players on the world stage. The
coincidental timing of his proposal to slash the Army to pre-World War II
size only gave additional ammunition to the hawks. And some made sure to put
former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in the cross hairs as well
, recognizing her possible presidential campaign in 2016.
“This is the ultimate result of a feckless foreign policy,” Senator John
McCain, Republican of Arizona, told the American Israel Public Affairs
Committee.
Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, said on the
Senate floor, “The president has eroded American credibility in the world.”

Most provocative, perhaps, was Senator Lindsey Graham, who faces a
Republican primary challenge from the right in South Carolina. He traced the
Ukrainian crisis to the 2012 attack on the United States diplomatic post in
Benghazi, Libya, that killed the envoy to Libya and three other Americans.
“It started with Benghazi,” Mr. Graham said on Twitter. “When you kill
Americans and nobody pays a price, you invite this type of aggression.” He
added in another post: “Putin basically came to the conclusion after
Benghazi, Syria, Egypt — everything Obama has been engaged in — he’s a
weak indecisive leader.”
The White House fired back. “GOP criticism of Pres Obama jumped the shark
today when they started saying Benghazi is one of the reasons for what is
happening in Crimea,” Dan Pfeiffer, the president’s senior adviser, wrote
on Twitter.
The emerging critique has clearly gotten under the president’s skin as well
. Without waiting to be asked, he rebutted the idea that Mr. Putin had
gotten the upper hand. “I would also note just the way that some of this
has been reported, that there’s a suggestion somehow that the Russian
actions have been clever strategically,” Mr. Obama said Tuesday. “I
actually think that this has not been a sign of strength but rather is a
reflection that countries near Russia have deep concerns and suspicions
about this kind of meddling.”
The case against Mr. Obama has been building for years. Critics accuse him
of caving in to Russia by recalibrating plans for missile defense in Europe
and focusing too much on trying to repair relations with Moscow. They point
to Syria and the “red line” he warned President Bashar al-Assad not to
cross by using chemical weapons as well as his failure to follow through
with a planned retaliatory strike.

narrative rings hollow against a president who initially tripled troop
levels in Afghanistan, escalated drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen and
elsewhere, and ordered the strike that killed Osama bin Laden. Mr. Obama’s
defenders note that Mr. Putin did not hesitate to go to war with Georgia
when Mr. Bush was president.
But Mr. Bush has also not emerged from the current episode unscathed. Some
liberals have said his invasion of Iraq made it hard for the United States
to complain about Russia invading another country.
On her MSNBC show, Rachel Maddow said, “There is an awkwardness about the
United States government trying to lead a response to international outrage
to that violation when we’re only a couple of years out from our own near-
decade of war in Iraq, which was a war that was, of course, also launched on
a trumped-up false pretext.”
Chris Matthews, another MSNBC host, echoed that. “The same people who blew
the bugles for us to invade that country, Iraq, are blowing the bugle
because some other country, Russia, did something a little bit like it,” he
said. “Well, the big difference is, need I say, the tens of thousands of
bodies the Bush-Cheney crowd left in their trail.”
Mr. Bush’s defenders said it was ludicrous for liberals to keep trying to
pin Mr. Obama’s own failures on his predecessor more than five years after
he left office.
The debate played out on Wednesday before the House Armed Services Committee
. Representative Howard McKeon, the Republican chairman, said the Ukrainian
showdown argued against Mr. Obama’s military cuts. “The president’s
assumption that the tide of war is receding and that we can safely reduce
American hard power in favor of soft power to assure our national security
lies in stark contrast to reality,” he said.
Representative Adam Smith of Washington, the top committee Democrat,
rejected the argument: “Back in 2008, when we had a defense budget well
over $700 billion and George W. Bush was president, Putin felt no limitation
whatsoever on going into Georgia and essentially taking over two separate
provinces.”
At a separate Senate hearing, Mr. McCain turned his fire on the nation’s
intelligence agencies for not forecasting the Russian intervention. “The
fact is, Mr. Secretary, it was not predicted by our intelligence, and that’
s already well known,” he scolded Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, calling it
“another massive failure.” Mr. Hagel countered that the United States had
been “well aware of the threats.”
Some Republicans worried that their party was going too far. John Ullyot, a
former Senate aide, said it was disingenuous to argue that weakness by Mr.
Obama encouraged Russia. “Putin acts in his sphere when he feels the need
to act, regardless of who’s in the White House,” Mr. Ullyot said.
Other Republicans were careful to modulate their criticism by not losing
sight of Russia’s role. Speaking on CNN, Representative Paul D. Ryan of
Wisconsin shared the party’s assertion that Mr. Obama had “projected
weakness” that “invites aggression.”
“But,” he added, “let’s be really clear who is to blame for this.
Vladimir Putin is to blame for this.” | h****g
