No.

Someone in the Bush administration understood that the enemy is Islam. Bush inflicted a grave wound to Islam by setting Iraq free.

Iraq largely squandered that freedom by voting itself an Islamic constitution. That’s on them.

Then Obama betrayed the nascent free country of Iraq.

Obama refused to negotiate a SOFA and so created a power vacuum in Iraq. And if we believe Saad Hariri (former Prime Minister of Lebanon) Obama also funded & armed ISIS.

Obama also betrayed the democratic revolution in neighboring Iran that was inspired by the newly free Iraq. He squandered a priceless opporunity - not because of ineptitude but because he’s working for the other side.

That’s been the pattern of American foreign policy since Vietnam. The Republicans achieve a stable situation, and then - just as in Vietnam - the Democrats betray American allies and turn stable nation-states into shifting quagmires of horror and death.

“Bush inflicted a grave wound to Islam by setting Iraq free”

What do you smoke? Saddam was a secular dictator who killed Islamic jihadists. When Bush took him out, the jihadists ran wild around Iraq, killing Christians by the thousands. and the new government was made up of Shiites who had been in exile, in Iran. Iraq suddenly became Iran’s closest ally. And Iraq’s new constitution pledged itself to Sharia law.
