When we left Iraq things got worse but that was just Iraq vs ISIS. Now, the Iraqis, Russians, Iranians, Syrians, Kurds, and Turds are all involved. It’s like fighting 5 gangs on the streets of Chicago.
Exactly...if only Bush-43 had NOT attacked Iraq, we would have no ISIS, Sadddam and sons would be keeping all radical Muslims where they belong, in prisons doing hard labor. Iran would be still tangled with Iraq and would not become a nuclear power. And there would be no mass invasion by displaced people seeking sanctuary in Europe and Obama would not have approved arrival of hundred thousand refugees from middle-east.
Best of all we would be $6 Trillion ahead in US Treasury and all those brave American soldiers killed in Iraq, Syria, Libya would still be alive.
IMHO the invasion of Iraq by Bush-43 will go down in history as the biggest foreign policy blunder ever.
When do you think the US left Iraq. There is about the equivalent of a full division there these days. If anything, that's probably fewer than after Obama completed the 'complete withdrawal (probably closer to a couple of divisions if you include the mercenary "defense contractors) in 2011.
