The Iraq War was correct. Leaving Iraq in 2011 in order to honor a campaign promise to the Left was not. If our troops had stayed longer, ISIS would not be there now.

I agree with those points but that does not make the original decision a good one. I can’t get to my computer right now so I can’t use Dragon which mercifully spares you a lengthly reply which is needed here.

Bottom line: we went to war against the wrong country for the right reasons.

I think the problems started when W put the State Dept in charge after the invasion, rather than the military.
