Well maybe if you hadn’t gotten rid of Saddam, this guy wouldn’t be a problem now.

Its worth mentioning that Saddam gave money and guns to guys exactly like ISIS: Ansar Islam and Eygptian jihad.

The difference of course is that Saddam wouldn’t have allowed his favored terrorist groups to invade Iraq, whereas Obama - who gave millions to ISIS while they were in Syria - did exactly that.

Getting rid of Saddam wasn’t the problem. Getting rid of him and then not providing any presence or control oneself was the problem.

Obama could have set up a SOFA and had enough troops in country to stifle ISIS. He could also have prevented Maliki from screwing everything up.

Instead: he chose to work on his golf game.

In some ways a “Pseudo Secular Strongman” is a better thing in a Islamic Coutnry for Christians than a “Islamic Democracy”....
