While Trump Plays Wack a Mole, Our (lack of) Iraq Policiy Drives a New War AND Iran Gains

While Trump is busy saying Obama never called any soldiers' survivors, Iraq is heading down the toilet.



As you all know, the Kurdish fighters were our front line in the ISIS fight. Well, about a week ago, they voted for independence from Iraq. We first spoke out against this, then Trump said we didn't care. (link)

 The Kurds had expanded into Kirkuk during the ISIS wars.  They drove ISIS out of Kirkuk and Mosul. Well, last week, Iranian forces (with Shiite Iraqis) pushed the Kurds out of Mosul, setting up the revolutionary guards there.

Again - our President - who committed troops to this fight - said .. well I'll just quote the article.

Trump not interested. President Trump appeared to wash his hands of the matter on Monday. “We never should have been there,” Trump said Monday, referring to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, “but we’re not taking sides.”
