The same people (not you, but news people and talking heads) making that same case now, sure weren't saying that when Obama pulled out of Iraq.
There's logic to what you say, there's a risk here. If the big concern is 10,000 ISIS prisoners, find a way to secure them. If the issue is protecting the Kurds from Turkey, that's not our problem to solve alone.
Where was the concern for the Kurds when Assad gassed them, blatantly ignoring Obama's red line?
