{adinserter 2} In a shocking twist of logic, ISIS (IS) is now thanking President George W. Bush and Dick Cheney for helping kickstart their organization.
By destroying Saddam Hussein, dismantling the Iraqi Army and stealing billions of dollars of Iraqi oil money, bankrupting the citizens of Iraq in the process, Cheney and Bush created a power vacuum long feared and warned about by prior administrations.
Despite Saddam Hussein’s blatant corruption in leadership, prior administrations left him in power due to fear about volatile factions focused on the destruction of Western civilization taking power and galvanizing the region to be sharply anti-American.
Prior to the 1970s, many Middle-Eastern nations were very ‘pro-west’ and did not look too different than American in terms of lifestyle and fashion. This all changed throughout the late 70s and 80s, and until now where we stand today.
