Because of the way you've cast your sentence it reads as if Obama wanted to arm rebels that would inevitably join Islamic State. That's simply not true. Obama does and always did support the secular opposition. Yes, some of those will defect to IS, particularly if their alternative is to be decapitated or crucified or forced to watch their wives and daughters be raped and enslaved, but the majority have stood firm. You're peddling half-truths.

Blair and Bush gave Iraq a glimmer of hope (and yes I'm painfully aware of the cost), but that hope was snatched away by Islamists of the very worst flavour. As you know, Chris, hindsight is 20/20.

But James it isn't hindsight is it? There are a myriad of people far more qualified than I that warned them what would happen before the event.
No one is saying Saddam Hussein is a great guy, but sometimes you have to accept a) the lesser of the two evils and b) that some countries don't want Western style democracy forced upon them any more than we would want a dictatorship forced upon us.

JT is right though, we should be more willing and able to blame those extremists who actually did the killing, they had a choice

Fair comment and I agree that Blair (and so some extent Bush) was probably doing what he thought was right, but they did seem to have the blinkers on over a lot of things including the legitimacy of their actions.
