Why is it...?

Bush II made a mistake in invading Iraq. But that mistake was only compounded by Obama when his administration failed to secure a SOFA with the Iraqis. And as mentioned, Obama gets for underestimating ISIS--- that a more virulent form of radicals would move in after we pulled out.

Trickle-Down Jurinalism

Troops weren't needed inside Iraq. We had plenty of air power and cruise missiles in the Persian Gulf that could have wiped out ISIS as it paraded through open desert. As usual, both sides' media spins miss the point. The truth hides behind a screen of babble from low-information pundits, the Right side of the Screen is as stupid as the Left.

They weren't very well organised until one of Saddam's ex-generals Izzat Ibrahim al Douri made common cause with disaffected Sunnis to form ISIS. Never heard of him, I hear you say, well there is much you don't know grasshopper.

Remember party animal fraternity drunk DubDud's silly deck of cards? What card was al Douri?

The point about missing the ISIS parade is well taken.

But Obama didn't like the political optics of having to engage terrorists in Iraq [hence, the JV comment]---so years later, we still have ISIS.

They have brutalized and murdered thousands and essentially rid the region of Christians and non-Muslims.

The "JV" comment is completely misrepresented. He put that out there to marginalize them as a group, and to not give them any respect.

You would have had the American President refer to them as incredibly formidable and a worthy adversary.

Well, how'd that verbal marginalization work out?

no. he was comparing ISIS to AQ..it doesn't matter what he said as much as what he did NOT DO
-strafe /bomb ISIS in open desert
 
You tell me; ISIS was basically decimated under Obama. Lost over 60% of their territory, and 10's of thousands of fighters.

AFTER, killing, maiming, crucifying and brutalizing how many thousands of innocents?

You can't admit it, but Obama dropped the ball on ISIS.

you should tell that to the people of Mosul (etc.) who were under the ISIS cruel boot for years.
 
Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri created ISIS, he was the King of Clubs!!

And there's that lol.

ISIS created themselves. Which is sort of a banal statement but it apparently needs pointed out.

I wonder, was Obama not listening to his commanders?
 
Not new, they have done that before and it amounts to nothing except more starvation for the people of NK.

But - but - but; weren't JPP liberals saying that if the citizens of another country want change, then THEY should be the ones doing something about it??
