In that, I would have to agree you are correct. The rise of ISIS (more accurately, the rise of its precursor, called Al Queda in Iraq) was obviously not caused by climate change, but brought about by the removal of Saddam Hussein.
It's also worth noting, if we are being intellectually honest, that Bush subsequently crushed Al Queda in Iraq, thanks to "the Surge". Al Queda in Iraq was decimated thanks to the surge, we have captured communication from leaders of that group, saying it was lost and to stop committing young jihadists to a lost cause.
So how did they rebound? Do you know? What allowed them to come back from decimation, and flourish?
Obama's complete withdrawal, which many warned would create a vaccuum from which a terror would emerge.
When Obama took office, Bush had already created ISIS, and then destroyed ISIS. On th eday of Obama's inauguration, he inherited a stable Iraq, where ISIS was not a major threat. It was on Obama's watch, that ISIS came back stronger than ever, thanks to his refusal to seek a Status Of Forces Agreement and leave behind sufficient troops to keep the hard-earned peace that is now just a memory.
You can't make that wrong, anymore than a crazy governor of Maryland can blame it all on global warming.
