Re: Trump's a Massive Liar but his lies about his position on the Iraq War are Gargan
Intent didn't matter in THIS case.
After the vacuum of Iraq, there was Libya which I know were air strikes but I am sure there were arming of a group that followed American interests. The same thing happened with Syria. We armed the rebels, and we even hired mercenaries, to fight the establishment of Syria, Hassad I believe. Well, considering all the hardware we left after the Iraq war, meaning mortars, humvies, what-have-you - compounded with the fact that we armed these groups of people, they eventually started to control and learned how to refine oil. This oil is even bought today by western nations, the very nations they have attacked. And ISIL is born. Weapons manufacturer's dream, no? We are spending money to financially aid your enemy that you are being paid to blow up.
In essence, Obama did start ISIL, but it wasn't his intention.
