Foreign fighters poured into Iraq for their chance to kill Americans in what I like to call Terror Tourism. Among the foreign fighters was the terrorist group from Jordan which has evolved into ISIS. after we overthrew Saddam, Paul Bremer decided not to employ any Ba'athist or military personnel. This created the Iraqi insurgency who joined forces with al Zarqawi's foreign terrorists to form al Qaeda in Iraq. Later came the troop surge which everyone proclaimed a success, but in reality forced AQI into Syria where they continued to recruit and grow larger and stronger. Bush negotiated the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq before Obama took office. The Iraqi government wouldn't compromise on a status of forces agreement which would have superceded the withdrawal. When the U.S. forces left Iraq the terrorists hanging out in the Syrian desert since the surge were free to return. 

All of this is a proxy war between Shia Iran and Sunni Saudi Arabia. Iraq is geographically and religiously between these two countries and each side is supporting Islamic militants for their side. The U.S. And Russian interest in the region further foment the sectarianism. 

Rumor mill is saying that the Obama administration moved those terrorists (via undercover operatives), in Lybia to drop Ghaddafi.
They were paid in arm's and a portion of Ghaddafi's massive stash of gold.
Transport through Egypt and Jordan would have been no sweat, obtaining followers along the way.
Once bolstered, they hit Syria and Iraq.

I don't know enough about the region or the timelines to have an opinion.
That's just the crap I've seen floating around.
Oh...and Benghazi was supposed to be a way to distribute or cover distribution of American arms to unsavory characters.
So... yeah.... maybe tinfoil, meh...
