Let’s face the reality. Iraq is lost. So is Libya. So is Syria. Egypt has been saved temporarily by military ousting Muslim Brotherhood, but next election could again elect Muslim Brotherhood leader.
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.
Even if Obummer had listened to the generals and left behind 20,000 US troops, that would do nothing to change Libya, Syria & Egypt. ISIS has established a foothold in Syria, and 20,000 US troops can not hold off ISIS from breaking up Iraq.
Rand Paul may be right...do not get involved in the Iraq quagmire. The horse is out of the barn.

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.
