"...So if we're trying to understand why we see a Sunni-Shia battle unfolding across the Middle East, keep in mind that the primary cause is not that the Obama administration didn't intervene in Syria. It's because the Bush administration did in Iraq...."
An opinion piece that is spot-on. The current problems in the Middle East were predicted about the same time that President George W. Bush declared "Mission Accomplished" while grandstanding on the deck of a U.S. aircraft carrier. Needless to say, 5K+ American war dead in Iraq occured after Bush declared the war finished.
This article spells out who owns the Iraq debacle. That person is solely George Walker Bush, war-president un-extraordinare.
