Hussein did a good job of keeping his thumb on the region, yes. But... when we took Iraq and Afghanistan, it was farmers with AK47s, Toyota Hilux trucks, and fertilizer IEDs.... when we “left” Iraq under Obama, we came back to ISIS with US military M16s, US Humvees, and high grade explosives.
We didn’t make ISIS... we just armed them very well (via Iraqi “security”).
