Iraq was so stable post surge that obama ran around the country taking credot for it. Had he left a residual force in countrt we we ould hVe had the intell and real time assets on the ground to deztroy isis in its infancy.

 

Iraq could not possibly have been stable.   We deposed a Sunni minority and installed a Shia majority who refused to allow any Sunni participation in the government.    That is why we have ISIS.   ISIS is being run by a remnant of Saddam Hussein's army.  

 

The whole idea that the Iraqi's would welcome us with open arms, and become a democracy was just stupid.   Those people don't care about having a democracy.    They care about settling scores with their enemies.   They care about whether they are Sunni or Shia.   What we did was take a relatively stable situation and create a Muslim civil war.    And then we took sides in it!
