"Thats so kumbaya. It would make a nice Coke commercial but not very good foreign policy"
Your ignorance in foreign policy is amazing. That 'Coke commercial" was playing well in 2009 when Obama took over.
Overview of 2009
The money line from the article:
"Large victories by Sunni parties in central and northern Iraq in the next election could lead to a slight reduction in attacks there as happened in Mosul after the al-Hadbaa party took power in 2009. Otherwise Iraq will face increasing stability, but a large terrorist threat at the same time."
Translation, while facing difficulties they were on their way to a stable country. They still needed our help.

They were never on their way to a stable country. Not under Clinton, not Bush, not under Obama. Never ever. They were only relatively stable under an sadistic iron-fisted dictator.
Not because of what we have done or haven’t done ... but because of who they are. Read history. Lots and lots of history.
