Using words you learned recently doesn't mean you're using them correctly. You incorrectly stated that ISIS came into existence as a result of the Obama administration's work. That's ridiculous on the face and easily proven false (see post
109). Now, you're saying that it doesn't matter because the scenario which I presented was covered under your statement. In short, the crux of your argument is on blaming the Obama administration for something. The problem with blaming the Obama administration with that
something is that what you're now blaming them for is not deviating from the foreign policy plan set forth by the previous Republican administration. How do I know this? Well:
U.S.
Look at who signed it and when. It's in red in case you missed it. So what does Obama do? Well, Obama continues with the Republican administration's plan of withdrawing forces and getting us out of Iraq. Sure, he stood in favor of withdrawl, but so did Republicans as they not only worked to get it approved by the Iraqis themselves but actively worked to meet Iraqi demands concerning sovereignty. Anyways, long story short - it's now 2008, Bush comes out of office and what does Obama do? He moves ahead with the plan set forth and agreed by:
1. The Bush administration
2. The Iraqi government
3. Our national defense community
4. The Coalition of the Willing
Anyways, how do I know Obama decides to follow the withdrawal plan? Well:
Iraq Withdrawal: U.S. Abandoning Plans To Keep Troops In Country
Obama's policy in regards to Iraq was indistinguishable from what the previous administration was doing. As a matter of fact, the condition for us staying was immunity for our soldiers from backwards Iraqi laws. The Iraqis didn't give it to us, so we gave them a middle finger. In the meantime, you have ISI which isn't a precursor of any sort as you previously stated. It's the same damn organization operating in two countries instead of one. It's the non-existent difference between Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and Al-Qaeda in Pakistan. What are they doing? Well, they've been alive and kicking
since 2006. They see the Republican administration's exit-plan and well, it's just a blessing for them when Obama decides to follow up with it in 2008. Actually, in retrospect, I bet the Iraqis are wishing they
had given us that immunity. It would have probably worked better for them in the long run. We would have stayed and they would have been better protected.
However, hindsight is 20/20 and really, the only people we can put at fault now are those who point fingers without being informed, like yourself. This is the second time I have to school you on a matter you
literally know nothing about and just want to chant little slogans about. It's becoming a pattern and one I'll have fun interrupting from now. You've already been proven to be uninformed on so many of these little nuances that I doubt you'll do more than complain that I'm bringing up too many facts and then run off to another thread.
I think the weirdest pattern I see is the fact that you cheerlead for all that is right wing without necessarily being informed about what it is you're cheering for. That's not a good combination because you can end up looking like you're
ranting against Obama for doing what a Republican administration wanted.
