>> Because ISIS wasn't a problem until things went to pieces in Syria. Okay, I get it. Bush created the problem in 2003-2008, but it wasn't a problem from 2009-2012, then it was a problem. And it is all Bush's fault. If you had one ounce of objectivity you would recognize how illogical is that claim. It is just absurd. I don't think Obama is going to be able to lay this mess off on Bush. He can argue that Bush started the war and he wouldn't have done that. But the truth is that it doesn't get him off the hook at all: We cannot know, and have no reason to suspect at all, that ISIS would not have existed in Syria either way. You can argue that Saddam wouldn't have permitted the incursion into Iraq in serious numbers but you really can't confidently claim that Saddam would even be dictator in Iraq today even had Bush not removed him. It is likely one of the sons would have taken over -- and that it would have been even more brutal than under Saddam. But we can't know that or even know what the implications might have been.
