If He left the 10k troops there, MAYBE, though I would still be angry at Bush for letting Saudi Arabia off the hook, Bush would have had a legacy.
Obama destroyed any chance of that.
Those 10k troops mean no ISIS, things were calming down in Iraq, and they would have been a good friend being as they are next to their ex arch enemy and our current one, Iran.
He DESTROYED the area.
The surges Iraq is making against ISIS with the help of US air support NOW may yet bring a welcome ally in the future.
We shall see.
obama’s a piece of ####.
I don't give a flying rat's ASS about Bush's "legacy" and neither should you or anyone else. He was elected to serve to the best of his ability, NOT to establish a "legacy".
What is George W. Bush's legacy? Being a blithering idiot who effed-up the Middle East and our own country and is second ONLY to Obama the Usurper as the worst president in modern history.
