BUSH, he was unconditionally released despite being a known terrorist with ties to al qaeda and other groups in the region.  Bush signed an order releasing him from custody and in less than two years after his release, he became the head honcho of ISIS. (note: if you are fox news, you throw out some bullcrap that he was released in 2009, but the record is clear he was released in 2004 by GW BUSH)<a href="http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/article/2014/dec/31/setting-record-straight-when-did-we-free-islamic-s/" target="_blank">None</a>3) At the same time that we had al baghdadi in custody, the BUSH administration was flying into Iraq, tens of billions of dollars in shrink wrapped 100 dollar bills on pallets and then releasing this money to "independent Iraqi contractors" without security clearance and this money turned over to them and the simply drove off with the money and disappeared with it.  But, was this just a giant heist of american money or something a little more cynical?  Ask yourself, how does a man, who was in a US military prison for almost two years, who was broke when he was released and all of his friends dead, could possibly organize the largest terror organization in the world and have the finances to operate it?  Maybe, this cash was to be used for something a little more cynical than propping up the iraqi currency?<img src="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/static/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2007/02/07/dollarsariveiraq372ready.jpg?w=620&q=55&auto=format&usm=12&fit=max&s=9fa72acf53c0cad58e379c7cae0176cc" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/feb/08/usa.iraq1" target="_blank">How the US sent $12bn in cash to Iraq. And watched it vanish</a>4) meanwhile, In Syria, the US under BUSH tried to destablize the Syrian government by arming SUNNI rebel factions in Syria.  This program was increased time after time, with billions of dollars in ARMS sent to these fighters and a civil war started.  AS the government of Syria fought back and escalated the fighting, more and more weapons were sent over there.  Carrying over to the OBAMA administration, our CIA was operating in the region in this proxy war and set up shop in Libya, buying up weapons and arms and funneling them to syrian rebels.  This also led to the deaths of our ambassador.These rebels, once armed, were called "al-Nusra Front", and presto, you have Baghdadi and an armed militia and billions of dollars to operate it.ISIS was started long before president Obama took office.  Obama had nothing to do with any of these events that led to the rise of the largest terror group in the world.You need to ask yourself, why was baghdadi released by GW BUSH?TOS.</blockquote>
