You seem to conveniently forget that it was W along with Cheney and Rumsfeld that started this entire mess back in 2001. At the cost of thousands of our soldiers lives and thousands of innocent Iraqi's, not to mention the trillions of dollars spent and lost because of this fiasco that was all based on lies about weapons of mass destruction, then conveniently changed to bringing "Democracy" to those oppressed Iraqi's. it was W and his minions who allied themselves with the Saudis who were the ones responsible for 911 and are still funding ISIS now. It was also Bush senior who allied us with Osama. Remember the photos of Osama with Rumsfeld? Biden was right that we should allow the country to be partitioned into 3 parts, one for Sunni's, 1 for Shias and one for the Kurds. At least it's the Kurds who will control most of the oil. Better dealing with them than the other 2 factions. But lets not forget HISTORY by blaming all of this on Obama. True, his advisors leave little to be desired, However this Sunni Shia conflict started along time ago, like 950CE.
