Generally at the successful conclusions of wars there is a treaty signed. Or did you miss that one?Except Iraq was Liberated....by the blood and sacrifice of our military.had we left the Iraqi government alone and minded our own business rather than overthrowing Saddam, ISIS would have never had the opportunity to form, much less grow.
like Powell said "you'll own it"
The War was WON - Obama said so and began to withdraw our troops.
He was entrusted with a victory and a liberated Iraq...and F*ed it UP!
He FAILED to safeguard what was entrusted to him.
Obama ARMED ISIS from Benghazi.
Obama spent MILLIONS on supplying, arming, and even TRAINING terrorists for ISIS.
He made excuses for them ('JV Team') then did NOTHING while they flowed into Iraq and took over much of the country our military had liberated.
And after his HUMILIATING WORLD-WIDE EMBARASSING COWARDLY BACKING DOWN of his infamous SYRIAN RED LINE that he tried to blame on the whole world (a world that laughed at him for trying to do so) that STUCK IN HIS CRAW, Obama has been OBSESSED with ASSAD!
The time to take down Assad was RIGHT THEN....but he F*ed up and lost his chance. He has waited until Russia / Putin stepped in, built a base, brought in thousands of troops, planes, and weapons. He has waited until Iran sent troops into Syria to protect Assad. He waited until after Putin / Russia destroyed the 'rebels' with whom he was waging his proxy war against Assad.
While focusing on Assad (and facilitating Illegal Immigration at home):
ISIS moved into Iraq
20 US Embassies were simultaneously attacked, 4 overrun
4 Americans were killed abroad
Americans were repeatedly attacked and killed at home
While he patted himself on the back and praised his (FAILED 'incomplete') foreign policy and strategy of 'containing' ISIS - and after proclaiming he had done so - over 150 people were murdered in Paris and almost as many were wounded. From somewhere deep within his own reality, Obama responded to these attacks by calling them a 'set-back', mock the American people's valid concerns, and vows to continue what, only in HIS mind' he considers a 'winning strategy' against ISIS WHILE pursuing what HE feels to be the REAL threat - a very well protected Assad.
Despite reality, 'Don Quixote' Obama has decided Assad is his 'windmill', and nothing is going to change it.
If the war was won, why did President Bush have to sign a SOFA with the Iraqis before the end of 2008 that left no doubt as to when our military had to leave?
.
Where is Obama's treaty on Afghanistan, btw? You know, the "good war"? The one he committed thousnds of troops to in a surge that mirrored the one Bush did that Obama opposed?
Aren't treaties ratified by Congress? But there was no successful conclusion to that war/occupation. The Iraqis went to the UN and asked them not to renew the authorization for the US/UK occupation. President Bush as forced to negotiate a SOFA before the end of 2008 or leave the country.
