A great (perhaps the greatest) Western scholar of Islam disagrees with you, and wrote this in 1990.

No. I disagree. Syria is worse because we stayed out. Iraq was well on its way to a decent future before we abandoned our responsibility.
If only our nation had had a leader...The Effeminate One on the golf course was never that man. He was a community organizer, an agitator.
Really? Once an enemy unlawful enemy combatant is captured they need to face interrogation. If they cooperate and provide useful information then imprison them until the war is over. If they do not cooperate then let them face harsh interrogation. If they yield and deliver useful information then imprison them until the war is over. If they do not yield then kill them.Exactly, like what ISIS did. Burning the Jordanian pilot alive.
Right. A "leader" like GW Bush who led 4000 Americans to their untimely and unnecessary deaths in Iraq and stirred up a hornets nest in the entire ME. Bring it on my ass. What a loser.
Syria is Syria's business.
They have their own government and their own military forces.... and we needed to butt out.
"The boots were just fine. The rules of engagement were not. If we want to win wars the enemy must be killed in gruesome ways, his places burned and laid desolate. We should try to actually win the next war."

I could warm up to execution of the captured by the most barbaric method the enemy has used. When they stop their barbarity then we stop ours. If they burn one lawful combatant to death then we burn one hundred of theirs to death. When they stop. We stop.

Bush has already confessed his one regret on the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the rise of ISIS. But the partisans on the right here prefer to blame it all on Obama, lol. A very big reason why things never change, partisans on both side blame the opposing party and excuse their own.
A well-timed move, in early 2012, would have knocked out Asad and cut Hezbollah's supply line without deployment of a single US soldier, and the vacuum that gave rise to ISIS would never have occurred.
Assad is Syria's problem. If indeed he is a problem for them. Either way he isn't our responsibility.
Hezbollah is Israel's problem.
You'll need to document your claim about what you say GWB said.
Hezbollah has killed hundreds of Americans.

This is how we nicely make organisations like Hezbollah, Israel's nemeses, a problem of our own, and a reason why Hezbollah has killed Americans. But let the patronising crowd tell it and America is an innocent and righteous brand that keeps getting bitch slapped for no reason at all.

As I suspected, GWB was not regretting the rise of ISIS as a result of the invasion, but rather as something that came later. He has firmly resisted criticizing BHO, and that's why he did not point a finger.

A great achievement. He was a man who needed killing.
Bush has shown a remarkable restraint in criticizing Obama that I dont expect to see continued when he is no longer POTUS.
Lol!!!!!! JH quoting the Daily Beast, very cool. Anyway, not the first time Bush has been caught lying.
As the Hezbollah fighter will tell you of the Americans he has killed.
