ORIGINAL: kdsub No Bama the Arab world gave Iraq back...not Obama...That hell whole does not deserve one more drop of American blood... If Bush had not sent us into Iraq in the first place none of this would have come about... at least that is a reasonable assumption. Butch When Obama pulled out of Iraq before the Iraqis were ready he gave it to ISIS. Remember even he said the war was won when he took over, then he blew it. But I understand that everything wrong in the world has to be blamed on a Republican, and still no one word against the slime that murdered these people, and in case you are confused, that would be ISIS. BTW we also wouldn't be in this situation if Clinton hadn't ignored one terror attack after another at let Iraq ignore the settlement from the first Gulf War. I would hope for the last time, Obama exited Iraq according to an agreement to do so made by Bush. It was President Bush who set the withdrawal date for Americans from Iraq, not President Obama. President Bush signed an agreement that required us to be out by the end of 2011. The Obama administration urged [Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki] to approve our leaving a residual force behind. But Prime Minister Maliki made it clear that he could not get the Iraqi parliament to do that. Not even for five or ten-thousand troops. “No Higher Honor,” 2011: We’d given quite a lot of ground on issues such as a withdrawal timetable, consenting to the removal of all U.S. forces by the end of 2011, and we even conceded a limited level of Iraqi legal jurisdiction over our troops. Ultimately, the compromises we made proved beneficial because the resulting [Status of Forces Agreement] put the end of the war in sight and left the new U.S. president a firm foundation for a successful conclusion of our presence there. Condoleezza Rice 2011 And we wouldn't have had to do anything more if daddy Bush had gone all of the way to Baghdad in 1991. Plus, the seeds were sown for ISIS by al-Zarkawi that the CIA emphatically told W to take out before the invasion in 2003 and [he] and Chaney refused. Oh and republicans are blamed when things go wrong...rightly so.
