Obama didn’t cause the rise of Iran. As Trump has said over and over again, Bush caused it by taking out Iran’s no 1 enemy, Saddam. After our invasion, Iraq became Iran’s closest ally. We installed Shiites as leaders; they had been living in Iran as exiles during Saddams reign

Bush's 2007 surge actually worked and cleared out the Sunni militants that became ISIS who were reduced to a splinter group in eastern Syria.

When Obama came in to office he withdrew the American troops and Sunni's in Northern Iraq actually welcomed the militants return to counter the abuses of the Shia controlled military.

Then ISIS shattered the Iraqi army and the only troops that could be counted on were Shia Militias, the best of which were Iranian controlled.

Those that weren't or resisted Iranian control were used as cannon fodder when retaking ISIS strongholds.

Of course Obama bombing those ISIS stronghold actually only strengthened Iranian control of the country.

As Trump said, by invading Iraq, we did Iran a big favor. We turned their biggest enemy into an allied country. The surge didn’t change that. It still left Iraq governed by Shiites who are allied with Iran

It meant splitting Iraq and causing civil war.

Sunni Iraqi's weren't going to ally with Iran and the Shia majority in the south had some scores to settle.

Rats. There goes an icebreaker, two C-133s, and a squad of hockey cheerleaders with Enfield rifles.

Canadian hockey cheerleaders have nothing on the Blackhawk Ice Girls...sidelined since they didn't make the playoffs.

And CFL cheerleaders can look....haggard.

Hmmm...there is a good outcome for Canada showing itself to be a reluctant user of its military. Kudos to the man I usually hate.

The Liberal Party so defunded our military the generals said we needed 10% year over year increases for a decade just to meet our NATO responsibilities. Even Harper didn’t come close to 10% increases.

No this is just accidental on Justinians part. The Liberal Party is not a fan of using hard power like our military in any cases.
