Bush would have a nice big military base sitting in Iraq to kill of ISIS. Obama withdrew. You have the wrong target.

No, the Iraq government that we installed asked us to leave. If we had stayed, we would have been occupiers, like the Soviets in Eastern Europe. Bush called his invasion “Iraqi freedom”, not Conquest and Occupy
