And that is one of the areas that we went wrong. We cannot set up a puppet government that we like and think it will remain.Defending oil, no we do not. Sticking around untill the government is stabilized however is our obligation as we fucked it up in the first place.Trump is right because Isis must be destroyed soon before it destroys us.
You destroy ISIS by providing Ground, Air, and Air Cav support so that Exxon can Steal Iraqi oil? One thing has nothing to DO with the other. Plenty of ways to fight ISIS. Adding the THEFT of a nation's resources is a VERY bad way to deal with it..
One thing has nothing to DO with the other.
actually it does ISIS is selling lots of oil that it stole
it is important to cut off thier funding
ISIL sells its oil, but who is buying it?
Then go after ISIS. Not Americanize the oil. This is insane. A STABLE Syria/Iraq govt would NEVER have been run over by ISIS. We DESTABILIZED both of them. And America has NO WILL or right to spend another 12 years and 3000 dead and wounded troops defending oil for Exxon Mobil.
ISIS TOOK heavy military equipment and arms from the Iraqis like candy from children. And it was OUR weapons. How much longer do you want US to be the "Iraqi Army" ????
Does that mean a functioning democracy? Not necessarily. It may mean we have to admit that it was folly to try in the first place and a dictator gains control of the nation again. Horrible outcome - better than instability.
We pretty much WROTE their Constitution. Designed infrastructure they didn't need or want. They basically humored us to get us to leave so they could get back to killing each other until some nutbag tyrant brings their "peace" back.
