I ignore nothing. You assert that if Saddam was in power they would not be. Prove it, back it up or....you know what to do.
You’re really debating like an idiot. Using your illogic, it would be impossible to ever infer anything.
Here, I will use your illogical idiocy the same way.
Prove ISIS would have taken over Iraq if Saddam was still in power.
That anyone can’t understand that Saddam and the Iraqi army would not have been defeated by ISIS is nearly mind-numbing.
You’re using illogic to arrive at a place you want to be, while failing to grasp geo-political realities.
