That stalemate has come back to haunt the country as al Qaeda-linked extremists, who had been defeated by 2011, have returned to Iraq in a terrorist campaign to capture huge swaths of territory in northern and western areas.
The extremists, known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISILor ISIS, for Syria), are threatening Baghdad and could be on the verge of creating an enormous terrorist state that menaces the world.

Is'nt this an all or nothing thing? Are'nt we either at war or not at war?
And the ISIL and ISIS will still be there 300 years from now doing the same thing.
How long do we want to keep losing our Brothers and Sisters in this futile effort?
Not one more as far as I'm concerned.
Hold up, I thought you guys said obama really shouldn't get credit for bringing the troops home. Which is it?
With that said, he was 100% right to bring the home as 1106 and 1225 have pointed out. Iraq represented a total victory for the terrorist. OBL himself already stated their goal was to pin us down in these types of conflicts then bleed of dry of treasure and troops.
The problem is much larger... this is more than a civil war.. Remember September 11th? These people want to kill the infidel.. that my friend includes most of America (except some of the terrorist cells and the Obama administration). So while this may be a civil war, the stronger they get the more afraid you need to be.
Personally I'm sick of the whole damn thing. we gave them a chance to have a free and stable country and because of religious bickering they blew it.Screw them! if they attack us we should bomb them back to the stone age.
