It would have helped if our intelligence agencies would have had a clue that ISIS existed, had built a trained army, and was just waiting to seize the moment.

But Osama BenLaden is dead. That took care of everything.

Personally, I couldn't give a fuck less about Dead Ass Saddam, Christians , or Iraq.
The continual waste of my tax dollars pisses me off.
What real harm could result from a total withdrawal from the entire Middle East?
Let Halliburton , Schlumberger, Weatherford, Baker Hughes, NOV, and all the Oil Companies pay for their own private security! They have the funds!

Of course we're going back in. The mistake was the delay which allowed ISIS to spread which came from the mistake of not getting the status of forces agreement. Obama is making a "token" (can you say that about Obama) effort to say that he didn't lose Iraq. Remember, Obama said in 2011 that he was leaving behind a stable, peaceful, democratic Iraq (all praise Obama...).

Origins

The insurgent group was launched by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, an Arab of Jordanian descent, and flourished in the sectarian tensions that followed the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. Zarqawi had commanded volunteers in Herat, Afghanistan, before fleeing to northern Iraq in 2001. There he joined with Ansar al-Islam (Partisans of Islam), a militant Kurdish separatist movement, for whom he led the group's Arab contingent. Analysts say this group, not al-Qaeda, was the precursor to AQI.

I think our intelligence agencies probably did know; but Obama refused to step up to the threat.................he considered them to be "Junior Varsity" terrorists ..not the big league Al Qaeda that he had already "decimated", single handedly....

It would have been much better if we had NEVER gone into that hell hole in the first place and I stated that view 30 seconds after the invasion was announced, but what is done is done.

. . . Finally, you cannot put this all on President Obama who after all was a lone voice in his opposition right from the start. However, you should remember that there have been four Presidents in a row who have ordered military air strikes in that region. There is too much hatred, too much killing and too many innocent lives wiped out to stand back and do nothing.

You do realize that before the 2003 invasion there were over a million Christians living in virtual peace in Iraq.....that number has been reduced to around 400k and more and more are leaving daily.
