Better tell that to Native Americans.

Hey, I have no Cherokee blood, but if I feel connected to them, why shouldn't I belong to their nation?

Doesn't work that way...

Things were not perfect, but they were not unraveling into chaos either.

This what our military leaders said

U.S. troop withdrawal let Islamic State enter Iraq, military leaders say

American troops in South Korea aren't a local target,

But they were at one point.



Iraq war in figures - BBC News

American troops were there for a decade, only way to stop an ISIS in Iraq by the US would involve a permanent large occupation.

Yes just like there have been 50,000 troops in Germany and Korea for decades.

Mideast oil is one of many oil regions, a stop in Iraqi oil won't be that drastic. And in any case we're in an oil glu

Thanks mostly to US oil production.

If anyone disagrees with you, just add "phobic" to the end of a word. That'll show them...

Trump, in my opinion, is nearly as bad as Sanders.

Where did I say he was the only one?

And for Isis , Isis was founded in a post Iraq war landscape that was in shambles because of us intervention on top of the weapons the us sent to Iraq and is still sending to supposed " moderate rebel groups" which ends up with Isis. So you can indirectly say america did contribute to the rise of Isis.
