This has to be in the top ten most stupid, uninformed and error-ridden comments on the Daesh invasion into Iraq. Here is why. Tinydancer insisted on August 14, 2014 that drone strikes against ISIS could have prevented the invasion of ISIS into Iraq last summer. That is not close to being possible. We know that IS terrorists did not originally 'invade' Iraq 'last summer'. The terrorists non-identified themselves as ISIS or ISIL joined the Anbar Sunni anti-government rebellion towards the end of 2013. ISIS did not 'invade' originally in open military fashion. They came in to defend Fallujah from Iraqi government troops trying to maintain order in parts of Anbar and other Sunni dominated areas. Then they turned on their allies and announced they were taking over. There is no way 'drone strikes' would have worked as Tinydancer has so foolishly maintained.
Oh bullshit. It's a no brainer on what he could have done. When Iraq was asking for drone strikes against ISIS he could have delivered and prevented the invasion of ISIS. Last summer they were asking for help to contain this terror army. Obama voted present.
