Why would he praise the US, under Obama, which there Iraq to the wolves?
The Iraqis have seen too much evidence of obama favoring Daesh or even actively assisting them
They suspect obama will airlift Daesh leaders out of Ramadi or otherwise help them to escape
I think the only thing keeping our “alliance” going is some very high bribes on our part
Maybe because we left them swinging in the wind for a year and a half with the fake bombing campaign until Putin showed it for the farce it was.
John Bolton pointed out that this liberation was really nothing to brag about. ISIS pulled their forces out, leaving snipers and booby traps. If this is a defeat for ISIS, it’s nothing compared to the huge success they’ve had, and will continue to have. The West is in no philosophical position to win against Islamic fundamentalism. If anyone defeats ISIS it will be IRAN and Russia. Not the West, until we overthrow our leaders.

Probably Iranian, Russian and Chinese air support...
