Re: Iraqi forces losing 'will to fight' against ISIS
Saddam hussein provided a level of security in Iraq absent since 2003. Under his leadership there was no terrorist groups in Iraq, AQ followed the U.S. into Iraq from Afghanistan, growing in stature until they organized as the Islamic State in Iraq in 2006 (ISI). Ironically the same year that the U.S. NIE concluded that the invasion and occupation of Iraq caused a rise in terrorism globally, and made America less safe. Again, even the GOP congress now considers that war a mistake.
So Saddam Hussein has now been re-invented as a good and benevolent leader responsive to all versions of Islam?
