So I guess this proves you just made up the plot line about Iran doing more for Iraq against ISIS than the US.

Those Shiite militias were only ever in our orbit when fighting the common enemy ISIS. They will go back to doing what they did before which was blowing up Iraqi people in order to overthrow the government all supported by Iran's dollar.

Were you there?
I wasn't (I know you're surprised) but I'm just telling you what I remember reading at the time.
I hope you're right.  I hope we played the bigger role, or at least, I hope ordinary Iraqis believe we played the bigger role.
We'll see how it plays out.  Either the US or Iran is getting kicked out of Baghdad.

I didn't have to be there. I was an educated adult during that time and watched it all play out in front of the world.

You always claim to remember reading something that is totally false that you can never produce.

You need to start finding some proof before you go around throwing out ridiculous claims. It makes you look very naive and ignorant.
