Much of ISIS, and certainly the bulk of it's military leadership, are ex-Iraqi army Sunis.
When we disbanded the army they had military skills, access to weapons, no employment and were stuck in the middle of an unstable sectarian nightmare.
They went where they could use their skills and support themselves.
There were lots of other mistakes made by W and O, but if you can't see this simple fact then your judgment is what is suspect.

ISIS didn't exist before BHO cut and ran. and it wouldn't have existed for more than a few weeks if basing rights had been secured, as they moved around in open pickup trucks for months and months. they would have been sitting ducks. it would have been target practice
so, they would have quickly become dead former iraqi army soldiers. problem solved.
and before you start casting suspicions, let me simply point out that I'm not the one spewing obamite talking points.
