You really do feel for the people of Iraq who have had a succession of brutal oppressors running their country.
Saddam Hussein killed as many as half a million Iraqis during his reign of secret police, torture, mass murder, rape, deportations, forced disappearances, assassinations and chemical warfare until he was forcibly removed by the West.
In turn the 'coalition of the willing' killed up to a million Iraqi's as it shock and awed its way into the country and after it kicked down the walls, let in Al Queada who bought the car bombs and suicide vests to the marketplaces.
Now Islamic State has joined the party and is murdering its way across swathes of the country and having taken Ramadi with a mass killing of Iraqi security forces and civilians and steeling itself for a run on Baghdad.
George W Bush and Tony Blair may well have washed their hands of Iraq a long time ago but they are directly responsible for everything that has happened to the citizens of Iraq since they removed Saddam Hussein but they are keeping their heads down but you hope that they see what has happened in the country that they 'freed' in 2003 and it lays heavily on their conscience.
Somehow, you doubt it though.

Obama didn't start it, he inherited it.
how can you be so wrong?
he asked for it - nobody made him run for presidennt
he got it - even if only by a small margin
then extracted the military - the thing holding iraq together...
i do not understand why you are giving him a pass.
q
Not giving him a pass at all but he never went into Iraq but bush/blair, al queada and Isis did. If the post was about screwing them over then he would get a mention but as it is about the run of people who have taken over Iraq forcibly then he doesn't figure as he didn't do it.
