"President Donald Trump announced earlier this month his intention to pull the troops out of Syria, claiming that ISIS has been defeated.
But, as Retired Brigadier General Anthony Tata points out, Trump wouldn’t even need to make that call had President Barack Obama not pulled troops from Iraq around 2011, the time of the Arab Spring.
ISIS was able to conquer two-thirds of Iraq and Syria without the troops there in only a year and a half."
Obama refused to allow US troops strike ISIS' mile-long convoys as they traveled through open desert on the way into Iraq, allowing them to take part of Iraq US troops had already liberated at great expense.
"As Tata explains, the Obama Administration opted to put their heads in the sand as ISIS started to form and gain territory, which allowed them to grow until it was no longer something that could be ignored."
