The genocide that resulted from Obama's strategic blunder of pulling US troops out of Iraq

Washington Times:

Mass killings of women, children, Christians, Shia Muslims, Yazidis and other groups in areas ruled for years by Islamic State militants are considered by many observers to be an all-out genocide, and anecdotal accounts of the sheer brutality, including beheadings, shootings, and burning and burying victims alive, still have the capacity to shock.

The violence had faded off front pages and out of many Americans’ minds as the Islamic State was militarily defeated, analysts say, but now will be back at the international spotlight as fresh evidence comes to light and the size of the rebuilding effort to come becomes clearer.

The carnage includes “the mass killings they committed in Fallujah and Ramadi and Raqqa, and a range of areas in eastern Syria, western and northern Iraq, mass graves, and just generally how they treated individuals,” he continued. “For ISIS, essentially anybody who does not have the same beliefs … are all enemies and groups that deserve to be killed. They’re open game. They’re all infidels. It’s that mentality as they go through areas, if it’s possible, if it’s not out of the way, they will kill in large numbers.”

In its report, U.N. investigators said that there may be many more mass graves than just the 202 identified in parts of Iraq once controlled by the Islamic State. The study referred to the group’s actions as “acts that may amount to war crimes, crimes against humanity, and possible genocide.”

The Islamic State’s campaign of killing continued across Syria and Iraq from 2014 to the end of last year. While there were numerous horrific incidents, one of the most notable was the so-called Camp Speicher Massacre in June 2014, where Islamic State fighters murdered more than 1,700 Shia Iraqi Air Force cadets in Tikrit.

Nearly 30,000 civilians have been killed in areas once controlled by ISIS in Iraq, the U.N. said, though it stressed that “these figures should be considered an absolute minimum” and do not include military personnel such as those slaughtered at Camp Speicher.

In Iraq, the Pentagon says the government in Baghdad is still unable to handle the number of “internally displayed persons,” or IDPs, trying to return home.

“The government of Iraq continues to be unable to provide adequate services and support to the IDP community, and international organizations lack the capacity and resources to fill the gaps,” the Defense Department inspector general said in a recent report. “Insecurity, retaliation against those suspected of having ISIS affiliations, and the magnitude of rebuilding needed in conflict-damaged areas continued as obstacles to the permanent return of IDPs.”

“There are certain mass grave sites very well known because of the size,” Ms. Wille said. “There are definitely graves — three or four people — even in cities like Mosul where there hasn’t been a proper mapping done. … I would not be surprised if what we end up with is a much higher number, but that would require dedication to a mapping strategy.”

This is one of the greatest strategic blunders by a President in history and Obama is not even mentioned in the story.  He has largely gotten a pass from the mainstream media because they supported the decision too. 

The genocide was made even worse by the lackluster response of the Obama administration to the war crimes.  The response was largely controlled by amateurs ion the White House who greatly restricted the US response to ISIS.  The radical Islamists were not defeated until Trump took office and turned the operation over to the professionals in the military, led by Sec. Mattis. 

Obama would not even admit that ISIS was made up of radical Islamists and mostly refused to even identify the enemy in that regard.  Why some Americans still think Obama was a great President is a mystery.
