Its certainly possible you might be confused. Obama pulled out of Iraq before it was militarily advisable to do so. Our military experts all told Obama it was unwise and could very well lead to a terrorist invasion (as the same group of terrorists fled Syria episodically). We left cold turkey-and the terrorists figured out the coast was clear. The Iraqi govt saw the same problem and asked for help again and again. When Fallujah was captured in January, Obama did nothing.
What he DID do, was take the responsibility for pulling out-telling Romney in the 2012 debates that he didn't want to be weighed down, and then contradict himself and blame it on a status of forces agreement (the same one that was magically approved overnight as the terrorists invaded :doh).
Today, I see he is blaming bad intelligence-of course he PULLED our intelligence out of Iraq, and then ignored the news he was getting.
Obama: Bad Intelligence Behind ISIS Underestimation
In the mean time, a throwback to the dark ages known as Islamist terrorists have been raping and pillaging and destroying ancient religious holy sites of great historical and cultural interest. They are committing genocide against entire ethnic and religious enclaves, and they are doing it with smiles on their faces. That would be the face of evil-and we should never have left-our absence is what caused this-Obama has lost the PEACE, and therefore the war to islamist thugs. Even worse, he's about to make the same mistake in Afghanistan.
The innocents killed, not just now but since 2003 have been disrespected because Obama wanted a talking point in the elections. EVERY service member who has fought since 2001 has been spit on by this President, let alone the veterans who died on his watch.
THIS is what incompetence looks like-the democrat party and its demonstrably failed policies.
