There's one thing everybody can do to make the country safer.
WASHINGTON -- Former President George W. Bush was a lot of things, but one thing he wasn't was soft. He responded to the attack on 9/11 by invading not one but two countries, authorized the use of torture and indefinite detention and launched a mass surveillance program. When the occupation of Iraq turned against the U.S., he surged more troops at it....

Hey mohammedans! Your bloodthirsty totalitarian death cult is putting us all in danger!
Dear Huffington Post, you suck.
Dear HuffPo:
If you are just trying to piss me off.....you’ve succeeded.
If not....is it really possible for someone to be this blindly ignorant?
Your grovelling makes me want to spit on you.
WOW! Did I have a stroke? WTF? You should at least label that appropriately with a warning.
All terrorism is Bush’s fault. Bush caused ISIS. But at least he loved Muslims.
“Huffington Post.” That’s Arabic for “Pravda.”
Dear mohammedan C***-S***,
Your stupidity is getting people killed.
Ryan Grim is now exposed as a useful idiot of the Islamic death cult. He should relocate to ISIS controlled area in Syria so he can live out his fantasy of being a slave of the Caliphate
Huffington Post:
If you are nice to the jihadis, they will be nice back.
America doesn’t give a damn what you think, Huffpoo.
The fantasy world takes on still more richness ...
Hey islamists! your racist hate is putting us all in danger.
Islam is not a race.
Next question, libs...
Here is the ACTUAL history. We had these people virtually exterminated before 0, our current Moron in Chief, decided he just HAD to “end Bush's war” in Iraq before he ran for Reelection in 2012.
As Islamic State of Iraq, 2006–13

According to a study compiled by United States intelligence agencies in early 2007, the ISI—also known as AQI—planned to seize power in the central and western areas of Iraq and turn it into a Sunni caliphate.[86] The group built in strength and at its height enjoyed a significant presence in the Iraqi governorates of Al Anbar, Diyala and Baghdad, claiming Baqubah as a capital city.[87][88][89][90]
The Iraq War troop surge of 2007 supplied the United States military with more manpower for operations targeting the group, resulting in dozens of high-level AQI members being captured or killed.[91]
Between July and October 2007, al-Qaeda in Iraq was reported to have lost its secure military bases in Al Anbar province and the Baghdad area.[92] During 2008, a series of US and Iraqi offensives managed to drive out AQI-aligned insurgents from their former safe havens, such as the Diyala and Al Anbar governorates, to the area of the northern city of Mosul.[93]
By 2008, the ISI was describing itself as being in a state of “extraordinary crisis”.[94] Its violent attempts to govern its territory led to a backlash from Sunni Arab Iraqis and other insurgent groups and a temporary decline in the group, which was attributable to a number of factors,[95] notably the Anbar Awakening.
In late 2009, the commander of US forces in Iraq, General Ray Odierno, stated that the ISI “has transformed significantly in the last two years. What once was dominated by foreign individuals has now become more and more dominated by Iraqi citizens”.[96] On 18 April 2010, the ISI’s two top leaders, Abu Ayyub al-Masri and Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, were killed in a joint US-Iraqi raid near Tikrit.[97] In a press conference in June 2010, General Odierno reported that 80% of the ISI’s top 42 leaders, including recruiters and financiers, had been killed or captured, with only eight remaining at large. He said that they had been cut off from al-Qaeda’s leadership in Pakistan.[98][99][100]
On 16 May 2010, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was appointed the new leader of the Islamic State of Iraq.[101][102] Al-Baghdadi replenished the group's leadership, many of whom had been killed or captured, by appointing former Ba’athist military and intelligence officers who had served during Saddam Hussein's rule.[103] These men, nearly all of whom had spent time imprisoned by the US military, came to make up about one third of Baghdadi’s top 25 commanders. One of them was a former colonel, Samir al-Khlifawi, also known as Haji Bakr, who became
