I agree on two points. Hussain was secular and served our policy despite his limitations. Obama didn't negotiate troop immunity using his heavy hand position.

He cut and ran, and he led from behind, and refused to do a status of forces agreement. He removed the red line from Syria. He lost the obviously winnable erection.
