No one in the US has contributed more the rise of ISIS than Democrats.

The current situation in northern Iraq is exactly what was predicted would happen if the US withdrew before the Iraqi government was stable enough. In response, Democrats said that the anti-government AQ forces were "freedom fighters" and said that what happened there was "none of our business."

This is the "peace" Democrats wanted.

The invasion of Iraq and the bungling of early phases of the occupation are the main reason AQI, as such, existed and began the process by which it metastasized into ISIS.

While some Democrats do near some responsibility for that as enablers, they weren't the ones directing the relevant policies.

You are taking way too short a view of this. Perhaps invading was the wrong decision. Or was not taking Saddam down earlier in war 1.0 the wrong decision. Or was funding Saddam for years the wrong path? The current situation is a culmination of (at a minimum) decades of failure by many countries.

How is your extremely biased, partisan attack relevant to the point that Hobby Lobby illegally bought these relics, which quite likely helped fund ISIS?

I'm curious what responsibility you lay at the feet of Republicans who invaded and destabilized Iraq for manufactured reasons?
