You really have to oversimplify matters to the degree that this strip does in order to make President Obama appear to be an innocent party in this disaster..-“Many people warned of civil war” – Yes, but then we took steps to stabilize the country. These steps were so successful that in 2012 President Obama declared victory while he withdrew all of our forces from the country. Supposedly he was unwilling to allow them to stay unless the Iraqi government exempted our soldiers from Iraqi laws – but his administration did not make any serious attempt to negotiate for such exemptions, and in any case the soldiers we are sending back in are not covered by those exemptions.
