Lol, no. That was purely incidental. The Bush admin didn’t anticipate insurgents pouring across Iraq’s borders when we disbanded Saddam’s army. It’s literally why we had the troop surges.
Yeah, and that is the thing, Biden and Trump were totally on the same page here. Trump could have seen this as a validation for his own foreign policy stances. And yet he couldn’t resist just sniping from the sideline.
And of course all of his attack dogs on Fox etc. followed suit.
No one is saying that our withdrawal was spotless, it was messy as all hell. But we got 140,000 people out in a matter of weeks as the country was crumbling around them. I am glad we are gone, I am glad Biden stuck to the timeline and I am glad that Trump signed the deal last year.
Lol, of course it isn’t false, otherwise we wouldn’t have needed to do a troop surge and people would have blamed Bush, and not Obama, for creating ISIS.
If it were true, then Bush has a lot more blood on his hands than originally thought.
Interesting that you brought that up, because Obama withdrew based on the agreement GW Bush signed the year before he left office. And then Obama was roundly criticized for honoring that agreement as well. From the Right Wing media.
Almost exactly like what we are seeing with Biden. Good catch, Ben.
There are tons of Trump threads already. Why do you want to change every Biden thread to a Trump thread? Can we talk about Biden for a while since he’s president? Do we have your permission?
Like has been pointed out by numerous posters, this sudden newfound concern from the MAGA zealots about the accountability of a President is laughable and transparent.
