Former vice president Joe Biden reportedly played a decisive role in enabling recently assassinated Iranian terror leader Qassem Soleimani to push the United States out of Iraq and deliver the country into the hands of Iran.
In 2010, as Iraq faced pivotal elections that decided the country's direction, Soleimani went to great lengths to ensure Iranian-backed politicians won control of the government, according to a comprehensive 2013 New Yorker profile of the terror leader by Dexter Filkins.
Following the assassination of Soleimani late Thursday evening, now-Democratic presidential contender Biden issued a statement accusing the Trump administration of tossing "a stick of dynamite into a tinderbox."
Biden expressed concern about possible retaliatory attacks on American military and embassy personnel as a result of the drone strike that killed Soleimani.
Soleimani is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American soldiers and was the driving force behind last week's attack on the U.S. embassy compound in Baghdad. Biden's role in enabling Soleimani to run wild in Iraq was not known until the New Yorker's exposé.
"'We were laughing at the Americans,' the former Iraqi leader told me, growing angry as he recalled the situation.
"They wanted to stay in Iraq, he said, but only if the effort involved was minimal. 'I needed American support,' he said. 'But they wanted to leave, and they handed the country to the Iranians. Iraq is a failed state now, an Iranian colony.'".
