It was “stabilized” as a Shiite, pro-Iran government. That’s Trumps point: we booted out Iran’s enemy and replaced him with Iranian allies. And THAT is what destabilized the Mideast - by empowering Iran. And it all happened under Bush, years before Obama
A true statement.

Deposing Hussein was the beginning of the destabilization, I agree there.
To relieve Barack Hussein Obama of any responsibility by ignoring his own role in heavily contributing to the disaster that is now the middle east is simply playing into the liberal/progressive left's lies that Obama isn't responsible for anything. That's simply not true. Obama's policies have heavily contributed to destabilization.
Case in point: The Iranian Student Uprising early in Obama's first term. What did Obama do? Turned his eyes away and let Iran do what it wanted killing hundreds/thousands.
What was Obama's response to the "arab spring?" He completely mis-characterized it and repeatedly failed to see it for what it truly was.
These are facts that cannot be ignored, and which contributed heavily to the destabilization of the middle east under Obama's watch.
I don't buy it that this is all Bush/Cheney's fault. They certainly have their share, but all? Nope.
