But I wonder if the same folks who are so happy about withdrawing from Syria without any civil solution are the same who applauded Obama doing the same in Iraq? Personally, I thought at the time W was an idiot for invading, and Obama should have sought some closure, but just not just have pulled out entirely without at least trying for a deal to keep a bunch of spooks and special forces in the green zone …. just in case. and not entirely because of the 4K dead and 31K wounded who left blood in Iraq.
I condemn them both for not getting us out of these stupid wars and those who refuse to admit that we are killing the very same people we condemned Saddam for killing.
Well W's invasion and the subsequent lack of security in Iraq resulted in isis. There are no do overs. Just play the hand as it is.
There is no "Isis". We come up with these labels to pretend we defeated some group but some new group sprung up. It's all the same. People who want us out of their countries and you can't blame them. We would not accept it either.
