More Democrats voted against it than voted for it in both chambers. Unfortunately, too many misguided Dems voted for it, and got it to pass, and the R President made the ultimate decision. But if it was strictly on the Dems, it wouldn't have passed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_Resolution#Passage_of_the_full_resolution

Dubya didn't wipe out radical fundamentalists several hundred years ago when fighting the crusades, hence he created ISIS
Furthermore, he's the one that suggested to such groups that they need to start backup squads where members could get more playing time to hone their skills, so they started a JV team
Libtards have nothing if not a powerful imagination. They like to rewrite history and most importantly, they are pathological liars lying about everything to deflect responsibility and to mold the minds of their simple minded flock. They're not even honest about who they are and their own lives has evidenced from Obama to Kerry to Hillary to Brian Williams to Elizabeth Warren to members of this forum.
So when you combine, flock with imagination with rewriting history with pathological liars, you get stuff like Bush created ISIS, you can keep your health insurance, SUV's are responsible for man made global warming and Romney hates women.
It's the essence of their soul

Good thing Obama is cleaning up all this ISIS stuff, huh?
[h=1]Iraq's Anbar in 'total collapse', on brink of falling to Islamic State[/h]
Islamic State militants overran one of the last remaining districts held by government forces in the Iraqi city of Ramadi on Sunday and besieged a key army base on the edge of the western provincial capital, security sources said.
The militants seized most of Ramadi on Friday, planting their black flag on the local government headquarters in the center of the city, but a contingent of Iraqi special forces was holding out in the Malaab neighborhood.
Those forces retreated on Sunday to an area east of the city after suffering heavy casualties, security sources said, bringing Ramadi to the brink of falling to Islamic State.

Note that Obama did not inherit this situation. He inherited an Iraq that had AQ mostly decimated. Obama made Iraq worse.

Just imagine, as a thought experiment, if someone came on to this site and said “I blame Bill Clinton for 9/11 because he authorized Operation Desert Fox” After all, according to this article Bin Laden was offered “asylum in Iraq, most likely in return for co-operation in launching attacks on US and Saudi targets” So when Clinton bombed Iraq, Bin Laden returned the favor. But of course nobody would say that because Bin Laden and AQ are filth.
Better yet, just imagine if someone blamed President Clinton for the Oklahoma City bombing. After all, Tim McVeigh said very clearly that the bombing was as a result of the Clinton Administration’s actions at Waco. But of course nobody would say that because McVeigh was a pile of garbage.
This is the exact same logic the leftist dipshits are engaging in when they say “Bush created ISIS”
Again, leftism isn’t thinking. It is the absence of thinking and slogans.

Why, it's almost as if you're suggesting it wasn't far more important to leave Iraq in time to meet some stupid arbitrary timeline than it was to leave when they were ready to stand on their own.
Not only that, it also seems like you're suggesting dimocraps can't understand how the Stuttering Clusterfuck screwed this up by sending troops back to Iraq after he brought them out. Or maybe they just don't want to.
President Obama’s speech was the most important statement on counterterrorism policy since the 2001 attacks, a momentous turning point in post-9/11 America. For the first time, a president stated clearly and unequivocally that the state of perpetual warfare that began nearly 12 years ago is unsustainable for a democracy and must come to an end in the not-too-distant future.
“Our systematic effort to dismantle terrorist organizations must continue,” Mr. Obama said in the speech at the National Defense University. “But this war, like all wars, must end. That’s what history advises. It’s what our democracy demands.”
That worked out well don’t you think?
It's all my fault. I created ISIS. The proof is right here:

The Iraqi Army Was Crumbling Long Before Its Collapse, U.S. Officials Say- Eric Schmitt and Michael R. Gordon (New York Times)
The stunning collapse of Iraq's army in the north reflects poor leadership, declining troop morale, broken equipment and a sharp decline in training since the last American advisers left the country in 2011, American military and intelligence officials said Thursday.
Four of Iraq's 14 army divisions virtually abandoned their posts, stripped off their uniforms and fled when confronted by militant groups.
The divisions that collapsed were made up of Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish troops. Other units made up of mainly Shiite troops and stationed closer to Baghdad were believed to be more loyal to the government of Prime Minister Maliki, a Shiite, and would most likely put up greater resistance.
The U.S. spent $25 billion to train and equip Iraq's security forces and provide installations for them.
"This is not about ISIS strength, but the Iraqi security forces' weakness," said a former senior American officer who served in Iraq. "Since the U.S. left in 2011, the training and readiness of the Iraqi security forces has plummeted precipitously."
