It is almost like the Military Industrial Corporation is beyond petty politics.
Funny right? They seem to trascend party politics. Gosh I'm actually starting to like them more just on that alone.

Not Trump. But here you are, blaming here again
I never stated Trump was responsible for starting the cycle that has come to past for many Administrations. I am saying, rather clearly, the arming of ISIS continues under this administration, as with the others before it.
This revelation doesn't appear to sit too well for you hence the deflection.

Who, then?
All of them.
They sat right front centre of the Executive branch, they had the power to front up and address this issue, and instead they've let it play out. ISIS, Taliban you name it... we've been involved in arming them all... we've helped stoke the fires, and each and every Administration would've been well aware during that time. This one is no different.
Do you agree?

HUFFINGTON POST 08/01/2012 05:53 pm ET Updated Oct 01, 2012
WASHINGTON, Aug 1 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing U.S. support for rebels seeking to depose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his government, U.S. sources familiar with the matter said.
Obama’s order, approved earlier this year and known as an intelligence “finding,” broadly permits the CIA and other U.S. agencies to provide support that could help the rebels oust Assad.
This and other developments signal a shift toward growing, albeit still circumscribed, support for Assad’s armed opponents - a shift that intensified following last month’s failure of the U.N. Security Council to agree on tougher sanctions against the Damascus government.
The White House is for now apparently stopping short of giving the rebels lethal weapons, even as some U.S. allies do just that.

So you'll not blame who started this? Instead you'll feed your Trump hate and blame it on him?
Who started the long cycle of arming terrorists? Reagan? Nixon? Kennedy?

Obama ordered an immediate withdrawal of troops
He did not give them time to destroy them , nor were they allowed to bring them back to the US
Left a veritable weapons cache just for the bad guys.
You did know this , didnt you ?
Evidently not.
Everyone else did.

Just like Reagan, Bush, Clinton, etc. It's cheaper. Logistically simpler.
The mountains of m-16's left in Lebanon etc...Trump will do it too.

No. Not like anyone else.
That was the first time the military was pulled so fast and were ordered to just leave the weapons there
It was so dumb , Obama put the military on civilian airliners
