"We screwed up by de-stabilizing Iraq."
Who is "we"? When Obama inherited Iraq, things were stable enough for Biden to declare in 2010 that Iraq "would go down as one of the [Obama] administration's greatest triumphs." Apart from the fact that this was entirely premature, it was typical Obama hubris: whatever stability existed then was the result of Bush, not Obama. Obama then withdrew all troops, refused to communicate with Maliki, turned a blind eye to the situation, played golf, and now we have what we have. You can argue about whether we should have gone to Iraq, but Obama did NOT inherit the situation we have now.

Good points. There’s nothing he can’t make worse, is there?
