Politicians play voters for fools.

Politicians like to wear a war mantle and because of economic and crony priorities the USA would reenter a war in the middle east with the next president.

If the USA reconstituted the war in Iraq adding Syria it would not have stopped the attacks in San Bernardino. 

Again.

If the USA reconstituted the war in Iraq adding Syria it would not have stopped the attacks in San Bernardino. 

It would not have stopped the attacks in Paris and it would not have ended the refugee crisis or the movement of migrants. 

If anything, returning to a war in Iraq adding Syria would have escalated the danger into Europe and quite possibly increased domestic attacks in the USA and among all allies.

The only affiliation the murderers in San Bernardino had with the middle east was cultural and through the internet. The husband was American. The wife a resident of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. They received no training at any al Qaeda or Daesh base.

The idea San Bernardino and/or Paris would have been avoided by a return to war in Iraq adding Syria is at least rhetoric, but more propaganda. Stop thinking wars solve problems in the middle east, they don't. Wars in the middle east make the world a far more dangerous place.
