Thanks, Barack Obama! He left a vacuum in Iraq, leading to the explosion of ISIS and left Afghanistan unfinished, despite declaring it over.

The head of US Central Command believes more troops need to be deployed to Afghanistan to break the stalemate between the government and the Taliban.
Army General Joseph Votel told a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Thursday that ‘additional resources’ will be required to carry out a new US strategy.
It comes more than two years after Barack Obama announced the end of combat in the war-torn country.
Although he did not give a figure for the number of troops needed, last month General John Nicholson, the top US commander in Afghanistan, said thousands more were required.
