Oh sure it was a "far less dangerous place" after we armed, funded and trained the Sunnis during that wondrous "surge" who are now attacking the so called "democratically elected gov't" in Baghdad supposedly having an army we spent $Bns training and arming after we invaded, destroyed the infrastructure of the country and then quickly disbanded the Sunni/Shia Iraqi Army that had successfully kept the religious/tribal tensions under control for decades. Yup, we did that while we were overflying 2/3rds of the country, the north was safe for the Kurds and the Inspectors were in there finding NO WMD and none of the stuff Powell told the UN. Oh yeah, we can thank Cheney/Bush after we were welcomed so well as "liberators", the war cost was minimal and pay for itself and Saddam would no longer have his non existent WMD...(Bush could not even find them under the Oval Office furniture either; yuk, yuk). Yeah, Bush, one of the "great ones".

Do you feel we should be Iraq's permanent police force? For how many decades? At what cost? You're a loon!

The Iraqi security forces–whose training by the US military cost an estimated $20 billion–dropped their weapons and fled at the first sign of trouble. Now the streets, government buildings, schools, hospitals, airports and military installations are in the hands of the al Qaida-splinter group called the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria or ISIS. The group is now in possession of helicopters and tanks that were left behind by al Malaki’s soldiers. ==== Bush Doctrine….based on latent coke high?
