Back in 2007, then-President George W. Bush, responded to calls for the withdrawal of troops in Iraq with a stark warning: Pulling out troops would allow terror organizations to rebuild, and cause the need for military action in the future against a stronger foe.
Fox New’s Megyn Kelly aired the following clip on Thursday, which she called “frighteningly accurate”.
Even the biggest Bush supporters would have hoped for this prediction to be wrong. The terrorist state, ISIS, is now an even more ruthless and dangerous threat than the Al-Qaeda that the Bush administration faced.
On the other side, President Obama ran on the promise of withdrawing U.S. troops — and years after taking office did just that, which he boasted about on many occasions.
3 years later after, it seems that military redeployment in Iraq is inevitable, as the growing threat of ISIS cannot be ignored further. A recent poll concluded that 63% of Americans, both Republican and Democrat, support a war against ISIS, in order to bring their reign of terror to an end — before it’s too late.
If only W. was wrong.
