That is nonsense. The US government provided arms to the Iraqi government. The Iraqi government lost control over them due to the attacks that they weren't able to stand up to. They probably would have made it if the US still have a meaningful presence there. The US left Iraq in no small part due to the stupid claims detached from reality that the US was there for the oil when it is European and Chinese companies getting the oil contracts.
It's Europe that is hurting for oil, not the US.
But.. but.. but.. zionists!
The Jews are behind everything!!
I've seen it mentioned "Proof: IS haven't attacked Israel!"
