Josh Earnest is comparing Putin's Syrian military incursion to George Bush's Iraq invasion. Removes any doubt he is devoid of reality.

For those keeping score at home, here’s the timeline the Obama White House is pushing:
@charliespiering
2008-2009: Bush's failed FP
2010-2012: *my* awesome Arab Spring
2013-2014: ISIS is JV
2015: This is like Bush's failed FP— Razor (@hale_razor) September 30, 2015
That sounds about right.
