ISIL existed/exists directly due to America’s waging of war on Iraq. It’s disingenuous to list that there.

Just because a previous intervention was ill advised does not mean a later one was; quite the opposite; you could even consider it taking responsibility for damage caused.

It's clearly not disingenuous to include the 2014 intervention in the list of the more reasonable ones.

I mean, if you present it as somehow excusing the earlier mistake; that'd be a different issue.
