The founders if ISIS were brought together in our prison camp outside Umm Qasr in 2004. By us. It's quite likely that I lit cigarettes for some of them. ISIS just didn't get really big until we left a power vacuum.
Our occupation was so messy that Iraq couldn't tolerate our troops not being subject to their laws. The Bush administration couldn't tolerate that, so the two sides agreed that the US would pull out when the SOFA expired in 2009. And so the guy who took office in 2009 is the one who cut and ran.
