Republicans want it both ways, that Obama withdrew from Iraq and let ISIS take over and he didn't withdraw from Iraq.

You're going with the second lie. Okay, let's deal with that lie.

The Short Answer:

1. No, Obama shouldn't shoulder the full burden for the timing of the withdrawal of troops;

2. Yes, a significant American troop presence would have helped slow the growth of ISIS

But with the significant caveat that there were many other factors that enabled ISIS to become strong — and they weren't all predictable in 2011.
