All this rise of ISIS and Jihadi heaven can be traced straight to ousting of Saddam. In hindsight, starting Iraq was will go down in history as the biggest blunder of US foreign policy. May be second worst after Vietnam fiasco where 50,000 brave soldiers were sacrificed.


You are totally wrong.

The current situation is the direct consequence of the Obama Administration’s instigated and supported of the Arab Spring and the illegal war on Libya, which we also were the prime instigators of.

Egypt under the Muslim Brotherhood and Moresi was the staging ground for the overthrow of Libya.

After Libya, the Jihadi and the weapons captured from Libya went to Syria to fuel the insurgency there and to over throw Assad.

Many of the al-Qaeda ISIS Jihadi were trained by the US military art the orders of whom else but Obama

Since they have been unable to overthrow Assad, al-Qaeda’s ISIS terrorists have moved on Iraq to gain territory and resupply with weapons since they were cut off from Obama supplied weapons from Libya.

With Muzzies it’s a military strong arm General dictator OR a cleric nutcase Islamist dictator. Take your pick.

We armed these militants and they’ll be aiming the guns at us the second they get rid of the enemy ahead of us on their list.

If Saddam was still the ruling dictator in Iraq, Mubarak does not get overthrown. Dictators in Libya (Gaddafi) and Syria (Bashar Assad) would also keep their power. These dictators have proven records of keeping Jihadi’s in check for decades. Which means Al Qaeda and the Jihadi’s have no foot hold in the middle-east oil rich countries.

Saddam was the first domino. Saddam was never a Jihadi.
