What sucked was Saddam Hussein invading Kuwait. Then the Saudi's crying "hey rube" to our Texas oil boy Bush. Kicked Saddam out, with an armistice, but Bill Clinton refused to hold Saddam to it. Back in we go, and finish the war. Leave it to Barack Obama to lose the peace. It's either the most bone-headed maneuver ever by a commander-in-chief, or one of the most brilliant coups ever pulled by a Muslim politician. Created ISIS overnight, and guaranteed instability in the middle east for decades to come, all to the extremists advantage. Must be why Obama calls it the "Levant", because that encompasses a much greater territory than ISIS now occupies.
Should've let Iraq & Iran slug it out and kept our troops home in the first place.
