Not sure where this 18 month meme comes from but I can tell you that Putin came in with a plan to push back the jihadists and secure the Turkish border
Stopping the ISIS advance and defense of Baghdad and Kurdush and Shiite held territory began 18 months ago with Obama being the first and only leader on earth to start bombing ISIS targets and leaders. Putin was no where to be found.
While Putin spent 13 months developing a plan Obama had been engaged in real military actions to bomb the crap out of ISIS and stop their advance and advise and retrain the new Iraqi Army to hold the ground liberated from ISIS when that liberation occurs.
You Right Wingers long complained that defeating and holding territory depended on anti-ISIS ground troops.
While Putin wasted time 'planning' Obama softened up the targets enough to allow Putin to come in late and impress idiots like you who present the birther equivalent of the true international US led coaltion to stop defend and defeat ISIS IN Iraq and Syria.
Your Putinized version of history will not withstand the light of day as the next US national election arrives. The truth will naturally become more and more obvious as liar Trump tries to spread that falsified version you put into writing here.
You are reaching Econ Chick's standard for lying about the war against ISIS. I'll save your post 1385589 and come back to it when Mosul Iraq is liberated and Putin is no where to be found.
