ISIS and AL Qaeda were not and are not allies. They are fundamentally opposed to one another because their ideologies are wildly different. So whoever told you they were the same lied to you because they knew you'd be dumb enough to buy it.
ISIS came about because you shitheads kicked the ba'athists out of Iraq and ethnically cleansed Sunnis from Baghdad. To where do you think they went? Syria. Then, while in Syria, they hooked up with rich Saudis, building up their army against Assad, and then invading Iraq to reclaim their Caliphate.
NO YOU ******* IDIOT KNOW-NOTHING, the New Iraqi Army was made up of
Shi'ites because there was a
shi'ite Prime Minister. We were training
shi'ites because the Sunnis refused to go along with the
Shi'ite government in Baghdad. That's why we had to bribe all those Sunni tribes in Anbar during "the Surge".
Iraq was never stabilized, where are you getting this shit!? The jihadis of Al Qaeda were fighting us, not ISIS. Al Qaeda =/= ISIS, they were enemies.
For ****'s sake, the entire reason you ******* clowns invaded Iraq was to being democracy to the middle east. So
now you're saying pre-emptive war doesn't lead to democratization? Gee, could've used that wonderful insight
before you ******* invaded Iraq.
Well hold on, the New Iraqi Army you spent $30B and 5 years arming and training was supposed to stop ISIS from even entering the country. So that was just a waste, then.
Trump hasn't changed Obama's ISIS plan at all.
