It took the U.S. military about 10 years to produce a stable government (per VP Joe Biden) capable of functioning as an independent nation. It took President Obama less than three years to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Now President Obama has imbedded U.S. military advisors with the Iraqi army, started bombing the ISIS forces, and arming the Kurds in northern Iraq. I have concerns where this may lead. I had similar concerns when the U.S. became involved in Bosnia (1995) and when we went into Iraq as reported in the Free Lance (February 5, 2008).
