Its worth mentioning that Saddam gave money and guns to guys exactly like ISIS: Ansar Islam and Eygptian jihad.
The difference of course is that Saddam wouldn’t have allowed his favored terrorist groups to invade Iraq, whereas Obama - who gave millions to ISIS while they were in Syria - did exactly that.
Getting rid of Saddam wasn’t the problem. Getting rid of him and then not providing any presence or control oneself was the problem.
Obama could have set up a SOFA and had enough troops in country to stifle ISIS. He could also have prevented Maliki from screwing everything up.
Instead: he chose to work on his golf game.

And just to repeat myself: he could also have not given millions to ISIS. I mean, damn.

The islamic terriorist are richer and more powerful then they've ever been. Obama sat around with his thumb up his ass while the terrorist took over city after city in Iraq. Now the terrorist have billions of dollars and American weapons to use against anybody who stands in their way. Osama is dead, GM is alive and al quada/Isis is well on its way to reviving the caliphate.
