Former CIA Director David Petraeus appears to disagree with GOP nominee Donald Trump's claim that President Obama is to blame for the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS)....He said the "real cause" of ISIS was the alienation of the Sunni Arab community in Iraq under then-Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki, which created an opportunity for the Sunni extremist group to win support in Sunni areas when the group stormed across Iraq in 2014. - The Hill Former U.S. Afghanistan commander and retired Gen. David Petraeus said Monday that with the situation in Afghanistan deteriorating, the next U.S. president should end plans to withdraw all American troops and instead make an "enduring commitment" to keep U.S. forces there to help the Afghan military battle the Taliban and other extremist groups. – Washington Examiner
