If Bush hadn't destabilized Iraq by invading and destroying it, ISIS probably wouldn't be there. Saddam would have wiped his ass with them.
Yep. And Iran wouldn't be so emboldened. They should have sent Bush a Thank You card.
This was all predictable. This was all predicted.
.
Predicted by whom? Who predicted that the Iraq war would lead to Assad in Syria? Who predicted that a war in Iraq would lead to ISIS coming out of Syria with American backing.
More then likely what was predicted is that if we supported terrorists in Libya and Syria the outcome would not be a good outcome.
Iran? What have they done lately?
One of the primary reasons we were against the war was that we knew we were stepping into a hornet's nest. The situation in the Middle East was so unstable and unpredictable that no one could have predicted anything specific, but we damn sure could predict that we, WE, were going to make a bad situation worse.
And we were absolutely right.
And what has Iran done lately? Well, aside from speeding up their nuclear program, thumbing their nose at us and the world, funding and supporting those who want us dead and Israel gone, and achieving significant influence in what remains of Iraq after WE took out Saddam, nothing, I guess.
