No way would there be an ISIS if Saddam was still in power.
He was a bad man but a stabilizer.
This meme is lefty misdirection to relieve Obama from responsibility since he f’d up what ever he wanted to do in Syria. ISIS started in Syria, not Iraq.
It (ISIS) is the illegitimate child born of pure hate and pure fear – the result of 200,000 murdered Syrians and of millions more displaced and divorced from their hopes and dreams. Isis’s rise is also a reminder of how Bashar al-Assad’s Machiavellian embrace of al-Qaida would come back to haunt him.
