ISIS exists because of foreign policy like Hillary's [View all]

Last edited Tue Nov 17, 2015, 03:11 AM - Edit history (2)

When she voted for the Iraq war, Bush's own State Department said that Al Qaeda wasn't active in Iraq. But that didn't stop Hillary from claiming it was when she voted for Iraq War resolution. Well, now Iraq has a bigger problem than Al Qaeda. That problem is ISIS, which grew out of the chaos that happened after we invaded Iraq.

For more about how the Iraq war led to the development of ISIS, read this.

But it's not just her Iraq war vote that is the problem.

She voted for Kyl-Lieberman to allow Bush to go to war with Iran. She supported arming the jihadists in Syria who became ISIS. Last month she said the number 1 priority in Iraq is to get rid of Assad. And since the Russian planes started flying in Syria to attack the jihadists, she said there should be a no fly zone where they are flying.

If you are against Iran, Assad, and Russia in Syria, then you are pro Al Qaeda and ISIS in Syria. While Iran, Assad, and Russia all have their problems, they are the lesser of the evils there. Foreign policy like Hillary's is 100% to blame for ISIS.
