They dont do complexity. They have no attention span, thus cannot read a book on the topic. Everything they know comes from Facebook headlines. And they have the memory of a gnat.What you dont know is astounding.Obviously removing Saddam from office opened up wounds between the Sunni and Shiites which eventually led to the emergence ISIS.
Saddam was a bad, bad man but as history shows his presence and his ability' kept peace between the Sunni and Shiites. Once he was disposed, that all changed. Even with US troops present, civil war broke our between the two factions. The fact that Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki marginalized and harassed the Sunni eventually led to radical Sunni creating ISIS. This led to the instability that is present in the oil rich region of the ME.
Iraq was a stable country more or less when Bush left office. The sides had made accomodations with each other. Our withdrawal meant a power vacuum and ISIS emerged to fill it.
That post by kiwi-wee-wee is astounding in its stupidity.

What was the Iran - Iraq War? A mooslum goat-fucker picnic??
I wonder, do you have to study to get that stupid or does it come naturally?
Seriously.
And if the ignorant fucking douche is talking about internal 'peace' then I bet he thinks North Korea is a fucking Utopia.
dimocraps are some truly stupid motherfuckers

In keeping with a 2008 security agreement between Iraq and the United States, about 50,000 U.S. military personnel remained in Iraq through much of 2011, though they had withdrawn from Iraqi cities in 2009 and formally ended combat operations in 2010. American and Iraqi political leaders had expected to agree on a reduced presence of up to 5,000 U.S. troops beyond 2011, but the Iraqi parliament refused to grant U.S. personnel immunity from prosecution under Iraqi law. Consequently, the last U.S. troops left the country in December 2011.
One day after the completion of the U.S. military withdrawal, tension once again arose between Sunni and Shiite political parties. In an apparent power grab by al-Malaki’s ruling coalition, an arrest warrant was issued for Vice President Tariq al-Hashmi, a Sunni politician, alleging him of running a “death squad” that targeted police and government officials. Al-Hashmi fled to Turkey in early 2012, but arrests of other Sunni, Baathist, and secular Shiite political figures continued, and al-Hashmi’s Sunni Iraqiya Party boycotted the parliament in protest. Al-Hashmi was tried and sentenced to death in absentia in September 2012. Trials against him and members of his party continued even after his conviction, and two more death sentences were leveled against him in November 2012.
The office and home of Finance Minister and Iraqiya political coalition member Rafie al-Issawi were raided by Iraqi security forces in December 2012, and 10 of his bodyguards were arrested on terrorism charges. The episode led thousands of opponents of al-Maliki’s government to participate in protests across the country. The combination of al-Hashmi’s exile and conviction, the raid on al-Issawi, and the December departure of President Talabani from the country due to a stroke and failing health deepened political distrust and division between Sunni and Shiite groups in Iraq. A resulting spike in violence was seen during the second half of 2012 with death tolls similar to the most violent months of 2010.
The sides had made accomodations with each other.

No, simply because we have a Commerce Clause not a regime change clause; and, especially not without regime change tax rates on the wealthiest who have the most contractual obligations to secure.Do you believe removing Saddam from power made Persian Gulf Oil supply safer and was the right move?
YES OR NO?
Not a yes/no answer.....sadaam was getting ready to rake in money when the sanctions regime was lifted.....a threat to the whole region...not to forget restarting his weapons production......
and had we left troops in Iraq and Afganistan and kept sanctions against iran, and treated them as the actual threat they are.......then yes......but pulling out our troops, long before we ever did in any other country...Germany, Italy, South Korea, Japan,.........has created a major problem.....
Tell that to people that live in Kuwait. Kuwait was the first country since World War II to be invaded and overrun and then officially annexed by a foreign country. This type of behavior by SADDAM had not been seen since it was done in the 1940s by Hitler.
