Obama's Benghazi in Baghdad

In both Benghazi and Baghdad, the Obama administration's policy of cultivating Islamic terrorists had come home to roost.

The IRGC, Iran's global terror hub, had been listed as a terror group by President Trump, a move resisted by Barack Obama dating back to his time in the Senate.

The rise of ISIS and the attack on our embassy in Baghdad had their roots in Obama's backing for Iraq's Shiite dominated government in Baghdad. The Bush administration had tried to unite Sunni and Shiite Muslims into a political system that would sideline Al Qaeda on the Sunni side and Iran on the Shiite side.

Obama wanted to pull out of Iraq as soon as possible.

While the Popular Mobilization Forces rolled up Shiite areas, Al Qaeda in Iraq reinvented itself as ISIS. Unlike President Trump, Obama chose not to hit ISIS hard.

Obama had helped birth the Islamic State by backing Iran's takeover of Iraq.

This is a variation of the same cynical Obama administration strategy which manufactured a fake intelligence community consensus blaming Benghazi on a protest over a Mohammed YouTube video, instead of a coordinated transnational wave of Islamist attacks coordinated well ahead of time to coincide with September 11.
