Iraq was stupid policy. that is a different subject. There were WMDs in Iraq... they were probably moved to syria.
However, I agree with the point of your thesis. The occupation seems to have been designed to cost money and lives. It was so poorly executed it must have been by design. We never even got it paid for with the oil as was promised.
But, Obama and Clinton screwed the middle east up even more.
Arming terrorist to fight assad gave rise to ISIS.
They follies in Libya led to more problems and refugees.
Trump has been given an terribly difficult situation do to the inaction of Obama and Bush and Clinton.
When another country threatens to nuke us... you can't say its wrong for Trump to make sure that crazy dictator and all his generals know the costs. Now you can disagree... but you can't say its not the right play. That is a judgement call necessitated by Obama and his predecessors negligence.

Blaming current US policy on Obama is incredibly stupid. As is not understanding that the vast majority of current tensions began when you invaded Iraq under false pretenses despite being told by almost the whole world not to. The American people were thoroughly brainwashed and behind that invasion, it was genuinely scary how easily the public could be fooled.
Trump is the first leader of any country in many years to propose nuclear war as an option he would consider. If you can't see that and absurdly insist Obama was more dangerous, all you are doing is reminding us again how easily the American public can be fooled to support reckless military action.
