You're spouting nonsense. The invasion stage of the second Iraq war was short as hell, and the US did NOT target water supplies or treatment plants. There was no mass starvation, nor was there any mass death due to dehydration. Nor did we just bomb them and pack up and leave. We were there for years, and we rebuilt those portions of infrastructure that we damaged during the invasion. You're spouting absolute nonsense.
However in 2006, insurgent groups and Al Qaeda DID target bridges, but even there, nothing about water supplies:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Desert_Shield_(Iraq)Further, the CURRENT water crisis in Iraq has nothing whatsoever to do with the US, nor does it have to do with water treatment plants. It has to do with drought, and the fact that Turkey doesn't give a shit about Iraq, and is continuing it's water use unabated, and Iraq lives downstream.
Seriously, everything you're saying is pure fiction.
The very well educated american in denial still digging it;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrastructure_of_IraqThe 2003 invasion of Iraq produced further degradation of Iraq’s water supply, sewerage and electrical supply systems. Treatment plants, pumping stations and generating stations were stripped of their equipment, supplies and electrical wiring by looters. The once-capable cadre of engineers and operating technicians were scattered or left the country. Reconstruction efforts faced a nation with a severely degraded infrastructure.

https://www.unicef.org/wash/iraq_43232.htmlBasically Iraq water system were severly weakened in iraq war 1, and finished off in iraq war 2, due the chaos created by the war AND U.S sanctions.
Regarding ISIS; Iraq war started in 2003 and it wasn't for ISIS... But for things like "weapons of mass destruction" Remember the scandal ?
ISIS is the thing your country mostly created to destabilize the whole area, trying to disturb Europe influence, to serve Arabia Saudi, and to help Israel far right government needs.
And... The Oil.
You better remember this moment, sad ignorant.
