Further proof ISIL should be bombed out of existence...
You're making a joke, right? You do realize that's impossible, don't you?
It's only impossible if people like yourself are in charge of the operation.

He wasn't.
It's because Boots has no other ideas than to just blindly follow the Great Obongo.

As opposed to "geniuses" like you who blindly followed Dubya and his 'Coalition of the Willing', despite being told that this exact scenario was a very likely outcome of his intervention there in 2003.

Sorry Boots, Obama decided all by hisself to back into Iraq.
That hangs on him and him alone.
Even you can't improve on that. Or deflect it.

No, if Dubya had left well enough alone - like his father was smart enough to do - ISIL/ISIS wouldn't exist today. Invading Iraq and failing to replace the power vacuum left by Saddam's execution destabilized the entire region.
That falls completely and utterly on Dubya and the other neo-con dumbasses who came up with the 'brilliant' idea to invade Iraq right after 9/11. Instead of using global popular support to try and stamp out Al Qaeda, he went off on a goose chase that undermined the entire region and led to the situation today.
Obama then left Iraq based on Dubya's timeline and the entire region became a cesspool of atrocities and genocide.
In this case - just like in Bosnia, Kosovo, Rwanda, Darfur and elsewhere - I support using airpower because it is the right thing to do, not because of any single politician wanting to do so.

8 years later, and it's Bush's fault.
Brilliant.

Yeah, things from the past have a way to come back and bite you in the ass and you'd think that someone as interested in history as you appear to be would understand that.
I guess you just like taking pretty photos and have no clue about the places you visit.
I'd tell you more about the past affects the future, but here is a 'history' lesson more your speed...

Don't worry, 8 years from now, we will be able to blame the global warming hype on Yomamma.

Oh but the right wing have been screaming for Obama 'to do something' and dissing him for pulling out in the first place.
Sorry but Bush, Cheney, Tenent, Powell and others (Tony Blair) broke the Middle East open to become an uncontrollable mess with their ridding of Saddam.
This will be a perpetual war but unlike WW2 Japan, no one seems willing to drop a big shocker on these people.

ISIS has no problem with massacring fellow Muslims, why the hell would he think that charity work would protect him?
Naive idiot.
His education will be rather 'expensive'.
It just got expensive.. he's dead.

Sad, but inevitable. They were never going to release them and for whatever reason western forces aren't attempting hostage extractions.
