Key thing though, is that through the ill intent of Mr. 0, we abandoned Iraq before it was politically stable—even though yes, we had won the war militarily.
Mr. Obama was determined to lose the peace though, and so we—and the whole world—have.
Obama, adhering to the geopolitical myths Marxists tell themselves, kept to the myth that “the war would end” just because the U.S. withdrew its troops. He even announced that “the end of the war” as what his decisions to pull our troops out would do.
Of course that myth, being ideological and not factual, ignored just what the whole “war in Iraq” was about - not the end of Saddam, but in post-Saddam Iraq.
Regardless, Obama, drunk on his life-long Marxist koolaid had his myth to uphold and he stuck to it.
Now, today (actually since day one we were mostly out) reality keeps exposing the myth for the false reality it represented, and though mistakes were made before 2008, the growth of ISIS was not inevitable, save for Obama and Maliki.
