Hey guys!

The Chimp knows more about the ME than General Flynn!

Must be an underworld spy or something...

Maybe the voices in his head told him

Silly Bears, always looking in the rear view mirror....
 
Had troops been left in Iraq, ISIS would have been contained early on.  But, let's not interrupt his Viagra moment with facts.

"We strategically marched in the wrong direction."
Retired Lt. General Michael Flynn, former U.S. special forces commander in Iraq and Afghanistan who was the country's highest ranking military intelligence official, says that the George W. Bush administration's Iraq war was a tremendous blunder that helped to create the self-proclaimed Islamic State, or ISIS.
"It was a huge error," Flynn said about the Iraq war in a detailed interview with German newspaper Der Spiegel published Sunday.

Why were more troops killed AFTER this than before if the "mission" was "accomplished"?

Bush and Iraq agreed to the troop withdrawal, not Obama

Wiki:

President Obama's speech on 27 February 2009
On 27 February 2009, at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, President Barack Obama announced his revision to the original date of withdrawal of combat troops from Iraq. The revision was to extend the original date of 30 June 2009 for an additional 10 months, to 31 August 2010. After which all but a "transitional force" of 35,000 to 50,000 troops would be withdrawn from the Middle Eastern nation. President Obama reaffirmed commitment to the original complete withdraw date of 31 December 2011, set by the agreement between the Bush Administration and the Iraqi government.[28] President Obama defined the task of the transitional force as "training, equipping, and advising Iraqi Security Forces as long as they remain non-sectarian; conducting targeted counter-terrorism missions; and protecting our ongoing civilian and military efforts within Iraq"
 

Bush signed the agreement with Iraq, keep up the lies.

 
And Obama modified it.

Isn't that the date Obama extended?

The fact is that Obama could have pushed to keep troops in place.  I'll take Leon Panetta's word over a couple of meme's and Wikipedia articles:
 
http://www.factcheck.org/2015/08/bush-clinton-play-blame-game-in-iraq/
 

Panetta, “Worthy Fights,” 2014: To my frustration, the White House coordinated the negotiations but never really led them. Officials there seemed content to endorse an agreement if State and Defense could reach one, but without the President’s active advocacy, al-Maliki was allowed to slip away. The deal never materialized. To this day, I believe that a small U.S. troop presence in Iraq could have effectively advised the Iraqi military on how to deal with al-Qaeda’s resurgence and the sectarian violence that has engulfed the country.

What was it, some 700 active ISIS when Bush left office, growing now to some 35,000 under Obama?
 
A possible 4700% increase?
