He wouldn’t have been if we left 20k soldiers in Iraq.
Think Iraq was a disaster but at least somewhat calm before obaummer pulled the troops.
No ISIS, no arab spring (supported by obummer and CIA) and there would be no Russia issue.
What a shame.
Two bad presidents, well, three, well no, four, in a row.
Hard for a country to survive that.
Yep, four in a row. Hope the next POTUS, if elections aren’t suspended due to some “emergency,” is a good one!
Iraq was not a disaster when Obama pulled out. president Bush had left a manageable situation which was improving with a better set of ROE. Obama changed the ROE and then abandoned the Iraqis with purple fingers.
This was worse than Vietnam, there were still a lot of Americans who would have supported us staying in Iraq, fighting the jihadists over there. I would have been much happier during my time over there saving the Yazidis and Christians and sending a few more ISIS style toughs to meet their Creator.
