Here's a better and more relevant question.
Would ISIS exist if Obama had not pulled every last remnant of American Military personnel out of Iraq ?
You mean the wonderful Saddam Hussein, pro-American man of peace and human rights justice? :roll:
The poll also is worded wrongly. It should read would ISIS still control large areas of Iraq if Hussein was still in power?
ISIS isn't just in Iraq, is it? AQ, the origins of ISIS, absolutely did exist while Hussein was in power.

Do you realize that Saddam, ISIS and the largest population in Syria are Sunni.A better question would be: would Saddam Hussein have prevented ISIS from coming into existence and the answer is, no. There's no way he could have prevented a rebellion in Syria. There's no way he could have stopped an ISIS invasion of Iraq, since he couldn't move his forces into the no-fly zone to engage them.
On a side note: the feverish effort to blame Bush is becoming embarrassing for the Libbos.

the answer is, and can only be... I don't know.
No
Yes

Perhaps, but I would counter that we have enough history in the region to make fairly accurate assumptions and observations of how ISIS came into such quick power. As such, we can then evaluate what we could have handled a bit differently to mitigate those things. I agree we cannot be totally accurate here, but we have to do some evaluations else we will set ourselves up to make the same mistake time and time again.
In Syria, they would exist. So whose side were we supposed to take, Assad allied with Iran or with ISIS?

Nope, dictators don't like competition.
They would have been brutally suppressed, and in time, eradicated before gaining any sort of international infamy.
These Islamic autocrats were good at dealing with these brutes, especially since they don't/didn't have any rules to play by.
