I think Barack and friends, BTW, allowed ISIS to grow - to effect “change” in the Middle East.
And they sure did that. And I think that cost us a lot of money (and some lives) as well.
They could have slaughtered them in Iraq when they were in caravans. Some A-10’s and Apaches could have made short work of most of them.
He was here to destroy and destroy he did.
The problem that conservatives have to face up to is that Bush and Cheney got the whole thing going - made Al Qaeda and ISIS possible. And they are on "our" side of the able. Obama isn't running next time around. We have to make sure that Bush, Cheney and the neocons aren't either.
Their is not argument that Obama and Hillary were both incompetent and corrupt. The problem is that Bush and Cheney were incompetent and corrupt. And the conduct of the Iraq was was the most utterly incompetent op put together by anyone because they all forgot that once they booted Sadam - the easy part of the op, they had to run the whole place. And they had no 'effin clue how to run the whole place. So they went in for de-baathification and kicked every competent person in Iraq out of government. So every competent person in Iraq was forced to join Al Qaeda in order to eat and live. That was utter brainless corrupt incomepence and the Republicans, through Bush and Cheney and the neocons own that problem.
The problem for Republicans in the next election is not THEIR ghosts, but OUR Ghosts. We need to make clear that we are different from the Deep State whatever label they are using.
