It's intellectually dishonest to argue Obama's inaction in Syria caused ISIS's rise. ISIS spread from Iraq to Syria; not Syria to Iraq.
@GregDjerejian @MoonofA Fair. I just think even Iraq v. Syria is a distraction bc neither offers right answers.

@emptywheel@MoonofA Don't disagree. But there's been an epidemic in 'stabbed in back' type revisionism around ISIS being Obama's baby. BS. -
@GregDjerejian@MoonofA We have 2 tools in our tool box: sanctions, and nation-breaking-but-not-building. Neither did/has/will help. -
@emptywheel@MoonofA Yeah, well certainly air strikes & sanctions aren't a recipe for containing spiraling refugee crises, that's for sure. -
