the defeat of al-Qaeda in Iraq and its resurrection as ISIS
Military contractor Carter Andress was the ultimate boots-on-the-ground "civilian" in Iraq. His company employed 10,000 Iraqis to haul supplies everywhere. He and his company played a vital role in rallying Sunnis, Shiites, and Kurds to unite behind the Government of Iraq's fight against al-Qaeda. The United States won the war in Iraq, only to see the peace lost by the Obama administration's unwillingness to negotiate a new "Status of Forces Agreement". The consequence of this is that ISIS, the Syria-based terrorist group, could enter Iraq with a terrorist army.
