The fact is under George W. Bush there was an illegal war that spawned Daesh. It is difficult for a dedicted Republican news media to confess it. There is one reason Daesh has been successful and that is because they are the old Saddam Ba'athists with enough training to carry out an assault.
This is not an election dialogue, the facts have existed a while now:

The issue with Libya is a civil war. When the USA intervened with the Libyan civil war it was to stop an entire region's population from being wiped out. The USA wasn't about to enter a civil war in Libya. Eastern Libya had a population of over 2 million people. The global community could not look the other way. It was not the USA that carried out the mission of mercy, France responded as well. This was a moral obligation of the USA and France.
Debaathification was not just a fancy word, there were assets attached to it as well as a funding from taxpayers in the USA Coalition.
This report summarizes the structure and impact of de-Baathification from 2003 to 2011. It gives unique insight into de-Baathification’s goals, framework, impact, and problems. It includes a focused look at de-Baathification in Iraq’s Ministry of Finance from 2003 to 2006 and summarizes seven key lessons for policy based on significant field research makers in other countries.
The report is done between 2003 and 2009, plus research done outside of Iraq in 2011 and 2012. Research included unprecedented access to staff and materials at the Higher National de-Ba’athifi cation Commission (HNDC). The study’s authors have gone to great lengths to obtain and verify the information published in this report. Iraq’s intense political and physical conflict, however, means that many frustrating gaps exist. Nonetheless, this is a uniquely detailed resource for all those who wish to understand what happened with de-Baathifi cation and why.
Debaathification in Iraq was a FUNCTION, not a name. Baathification spawned Daesh. There is no mistake about that. This isn't propaganda, there are facts easily referred to.
