Definately the Thalmor should be the Blades' number 1 priority. But the Thalmor basically wiped out the Blades and now Delphine wants to seem like she and the Blades aren't completely worthless (they are) so she goes back to saying that the Blades are dragon slayers. She knows the Dragonborn has killed Alduin and plenty of other dragons, so wants you to get rid of all the remaining ones for her and then she can claim that the Blades rid the world of dragons, thus justifying their remaining existence as a group.

She earns a spot on Mr T's new show Tamriel's Craziest Fools agreed. i can see at some point in TES VI (wherever Bethesda wants to drop us) coming across both Delphine's and Esberns corpses/skeletal remains amongst a few Thalmorian as well.
