Obama's withdrawal of forces from Iraq exacerbated ISIS recruitment
Memos obtained by hacker Guccifer 2.0 from former House minority leader Nancy Pelosi’s computer appear to suggest Obama administration policies did indeed lead to the rise of ISIS, as pointed out by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
“In short: Our [2003] invasion created the atmosphere for a Jordanian to start a Muslim sectarian war, which ultimately created ISIS,” the October 2014 memo from Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee policy director Mike Ryan states.
The leaked memo reveals the state of affairs “worsened after U.S. troops left Iraq, helping quickly deteriorate the situation further” and give way to the rise of ISIS.

Title: No, that is what the tin foil hat people have claimed.
No way they are right. Right?
Dude, before the 2003 invasion, no ISIS. After the 2003 invasion, a decade of conflict, thousands of US forces lost, and hundreds of billions spent, we have ISIS. This was NOT an Obama construct. Simply the easily foreseen ramifications of the biggest foreign policy blunder in the last 3 decades.
