The only people he really wants to destroy are conservatives in this country who oppose his insane agenda.

Obama deliberately let a Golden Opportunity slip away. After the Bush surge when chaos was contained, the US regardless of how the Maliki government felt, we should have imposed an Iraqi Marshall Plan, just like in Europe and Japan after WW2, we should have forced a status of forces agreement and using their oil money rebuilt the country and shared the wealth among Shia, Sunni and Kurds. We should have forced an inclusive government. In 2007 after 3 years we finally turned the Sunnis to our side and defeated the terrorists, only to have Maliki turn against the Sunnis with a non inclusive government.
At this point, their is no solution. The Sunnis easily turn towards ISIS because the fact is ISIS are Sunnis too. Their is a Sunni/Shia war now. Neither side can be trusted. As a matter of fact, Israel is our only friend in the Middle East and Obama sheets all over them.
We had a chance to have peace but Obama blew it. After driving the terrorists out of Iraq and enforcing the above plan, we should have helped Assad eliminate the small extremist Sunni group completely. Then we could turn our attention to dismantling Iran’s nuclear weapons.
Plus I think we should have backed Quadaffi, in Libya and allow both him and Sissi in Egypt establish peace in Algeria and Tunisia.
Rather than back the Muslim Brotherhood, we should have backed the Egyptian military from the beginning. Instead we treated our other only Middle East ally (Egypt) with distain before and after they kicked out the Brotherhood terrorists
.
Wait a minute, this is all just a bad dream. Obama says, “we’ve never been safer and the border is secure.”
