Bush created/enabled ISIS. Obama and his intel advisers definitely underestimated them. Given their tactics of using entire villages as human shields, it took a bit of time for Obama et. al to come up with a plan to eradicate them from Iraq.
It was a challenge, but that was his forte.

Agree. However, it keeps going back to Pandora's Box. There will never be an answer to this problem. They have no problem recruiting new assets. Sure...they grew rapidly in the beginning because they were stealing Iraqi oil and using it to fund their operations. Further, cowardly Iraqi soldiers provided arms when they joined ISIS.
That's not going on right now, thanks to Obama. But...they'll always have the ability to create small terrorist attacks until they grow their cache of weapons again.
The best answer is to not invade Iraq at all.
If only we had a time machine.

more horseshit. Obama did not do any planning for the land forces.
The Iraqi army is autonomous and worked in tandem with the Shi'a militias called to arms.
The Iranians certainly did not coordinate with Obama. On top of that Obama require much too much decision making for airstrikes to come thru the White House, instead of the battlefield autonomy directed by Trump
^ he does. the freaking generals want us stuck in Syria -add in Rubio and the hawks as well.
Russia and Assad got this now that ISIS has no more land
RINO is the term for that rare Republican who puts country above party.
Right wing = lie, lie, and lie some more.

The definition of "racist" as "anyone who is white" is itself racist.
