    The other thing that happened after the American military left was that the Iraqi army deteriorated dramatically.

    "They really did become relatively complacent, and then flat out just didn't train," said Major-General Paul E. Funk II, speaking after abruptly returning to Iraq on a training mission 2014. "Just didn't spend the money to do it, didn't maintain the systems and therein lies the problem."

    And corruption was running rampant. Supplies were stolen; soldiers were paid, who never reported for duty. And, so, when ISIS came rushing into the city of Mosul last year, the military collapsed.

    of course Obama did not impede the ISIS invasion either..columns of AQ in the desert could have been easily hit.

    But really once AQI reconstituted after the surge...that was it

    As in Vietnam, the armies of puppet governments are built to increase the cash taken by the puppets, not hold countries together, particularly artificial ones.

    al-Maliki wasn't a US puppet government. He was a Shiite hack, beholden to Iran

    You can't win with people like you. I am sure you were complaining when the Sunni minority were lording it over the Shi'ites. Obama biggest mistake was not telling al-Maliki and Muqtada al-Sadr to fuck off. Al-Maliki has reportedly syphoned off at least $500 billion, the fucker should be swinging from a gallows.

    you could go on babbling this liberal BS until the end of time, and you know what. Nothing gets done.
    Yes, since the beginning of time people like you have been blaming everything on the "puppets" push for power, the "puppets" set up regimes to further their hold on their people, the "puppets" yadda yadda.

    Well cupcake, while you sit at your desk typing nonsense, there are some really bad things going on in the world that someone has to actually address, stand up to, and yes even kill.

    otherwise we will all end up cowering in our basements waiting on someone to knock on our doors and take our belongings or beat us because we don't agree with their beliefs.
    that is the reality if we as free thinking people allow dictators, terrorists and mad men have free run of the world.

    So if it's ok with you of course Trump, and any other world leader that wants to get on board has work to do. And "puppets" aside we may very well be able to crush this "jv" team before it comes to an Ariana Grande concert near you.
    This just In::: Trump indicted for living in liberals heads and not paying RENT

    Not to worry. Trump has replaced the "jv" team with "losers". They're on the run now.

    The defeat of Turkey allowed colonialist clowns to set up artificial countries. I think colonialist clowns are just that, sort of early models of Trump.

    Yes, I don't like to say it, but your type owe it to the world to kill yourselves. Try to do it gently.

    What has Trump done, other than drop one giant bomb that took out maybe a couple or three dozen terrorists.

    BFD.

    Keep in mind.... Obama killed more terrorists in one year than Bush did in eight.

    And he also got Bin Laden.

    So tell us again what Trumptard has done or will do???
