US Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton has been criticised for backing the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, with Bernie Sanders linking it to regional chaos that aided the rise of Islamic State militants. The day after a series of deadly bomb and gun attacks that killed at least 129 people in Paris, Sanders said the invasion was "one of the worst foreign policy blunders in the modern history of the United States". "I would argue that the disastrous invasion of Iraq, something that I strongly opposed, unravelled the region immensely," said Sanders. He said it led to the rise of al-Qaeda and the Islamic State. Will Hillary Clinton win the 206 US Election? Changqing Cao, a well known American Chinese political commentator commented in SBS Radio Mandarin, Clinton has little chance.
