Any mistakes this administration makes in dealing with Iraq,

[Shankapotomus]

as far as I'm concerned, is not on the Obama administration.

The Bush administration created this mess that should have never been created in the first place.

So if the current administration pulled troops out of Iraq too early and ISIS developed out of that...well, I don't have much sympathy for that criticism because Iraq never should have happened precisely because we knew it would be so difficult to handle afterward before we went in.

And I'm sure even though Clinton voted to fund the Iraq war, it probably wasn't waged by the Bush administration in a manner that she would have waged it.

Who wouldn't want a tyrant removed? The problem was with the Bush administration's lack of a plan for a transition.

And nobody but the Bush administration voted for that.

So if the Obama administration is tripping up over the Bush administration's mess, forgive me if I'm not as critical of Obama as I am of Bush.

1. ISIS didn't come about because of US withdrawal from Iraq.

The GOP is trying hard to completely erase 2000 through 2008. Nothing that happened during those years exists. 9/11, Katrina, the invasion of Iraq and destruction of that country, and even stolen elections all happened under Obama!

2. That's right

That's right. I stand corrected. ISIS developed out of the Syrian civil war, did it not?

3. They DID have a plan for the transition:

1: Invade Iraq

2: ????

3: Profit.
