ISIS is nothing more than a large street gang.

I thought ISIS had top military officers from Saddam's regime ... you know the same ones we were advised to leave in charge of Iraq's army.

"you know the same ones we were advised to leave in charge of Iraq's army"

We disbanded the Iraqi Officer Corps and their entire military.

We SHOULD have left it intact, but our dummies couldn't see that far.

Yes, remnants of Saddams army are ISIS.

How well did a fully intact and supplied Iraqi army do the last time they faced a modern army?
