They're able to flourish because of the destabilization of Iraq and the entire region -- which was created by....you guessed it. The invasion of Iraq and removal of Saddam Hussein.
That pivotal moment has reshaped the entire region into a worse hornet's nest than it already was. Far worse.
By the way, ISIS was a spinoff from Al Queda, and they didn't exist as that until after the invasion. They were established by Zarquawi in 2004, and not something you could call formidable until Al Quada was on the decline.
I'll expect you to defend any Republican involvement in the situation, because it's your default position to defend the indefensible. Obama's just dealing with the hand he was dealt by a predecessor. At least he fucking got Bin Laden.
