The Iraqis never did that. But your political ideology did a great job of empowering both Iran and the Sunni extremists who would eventually become ISIS.
And what is Obama doing to stop this?
The sad thing is tricky dick knew full well what would happen in Iraq.
He knew Americans would fall for a bunch of empty narratives and bumper sticker slogans and a incompetent community activist to be President ?
He knew Obama would pull all semblance of American Military personnel out of Iraq with no concern whatsoever for the consequences of his actions ?
No one could have guessed what Obama could or would have done to one of the most unstable regions in the world.
It would have been illegal for Obama to keep troops in Iraq against the wishes of Iraq (which, in turn, answers only to Iran).
Illegal? It was an illegal use of force to conduct regime change in Libya. Obama's use of drone warfare is a violation of sovereign airspace all over the region. Presidents aren't concerned with legalities until they think others are ignoring them.
We're talking about illegally occupying an entire nation. Against the will of the people and its democratically elected government.

Yes, ISIS seems to be doing just that. Illegally occupying areas against the will of elected governments.
No, ISIS is derived from an ultra-orthodox interpretation of Islam called Wahhabi. It is strictly Sunni Islam, and originates in Saudi Arabia. Saying that this is the true Islam is like saying ultra-orthodox Jews are the real Jews.
It's all fun and games until somebody gets a nuke
Thanks, Obama
But in 2003 Hilary Clinton said that Saddam Hussein was giving comfort and aid to Al Qaeda, and in 2002 Al Gore said that Saddam Hussein was hiding WMD all over his Country.
Imagine if Al Qaeda, who according to Hilary Clinton was receiving aid from Saddam Hussein was given a canister of Sarin Gas ?
Truth be told, NOBODY had heard of ISIS or ISIL until Barrack Obama committed one of the most idiotic foreign policy mistakes in our Nation's history.
Elections have consequences. Americans need to understand that.
wait are you referring to the withdawel of iraq???
first that was due to the sofa agreement, second,obama tried to keep soldiers there,just like bush did.obama though wanted soldiers their to be tried under a military tribunal,while the iraq govt demanded that soldiers be tried under iraq civilian court system.it does not take a genius to figure out sending our troops overseas to be accused by civilians and sent to a court with a judge and jury who want nothing more than to see them dead is a very bad idea.
bush also failed to negotiate an extension,it seemed niether bush nor obama was willing to put forth the soldiers and manpower just to be treated as trash by the iraqi govt for anything and everthing they deemed as a crime.

Seems to me those governments ought to evict them then.
Of all the nukes that have been in the hands of various countries around the world for these last 70 years, one has used them, upon innocent civilians. Thanks America.

Welcome to the insanity that is ISIS.
What appears to have been lost sight of in this thread are the 74 children who were executed.

Who " whacked " the Hornets nest that led to them flying airplanes into our buildings ?
