The power vacuum — that is now being filled to the brim with radical Jihadists — was handcrafted by the Bush administration, and it received its finishing touch and spit shine from the Obama administration. What else can we say about Iraq? We should have never gone in, and we should have never left.Talk about an unwinnable war…
