There is a direct link between the Saddam Ba'athists and Daesh. It is in it's leadership.
Basically, what Hillary Clinton carries as her message regarding war in the middle east is a lie and mind speak. But, it is politically expedient as well. So, let's get this out of the way right now.
I didn't come to conclusions about al Baghdadi and the post war Iraq because of this article. It didn't hurt my conclusions, however, and it does provide the facts I consider to be important.

As the Islamic State (click here) continues its march through Syria and Iraq, the jihadist group is quietly utilizing a network of former members of Saddam Hussein’s Baath Party to help militarize a fighting force that has effectively erased the border between both nations and left roughly 6 million people under its rule.
The extent of this seemingly mismatched alliance is detailed in a new report by the New York-based intelligence firm, The Soufan Group. Despite a deep philosophical divide between ISIS and the Baath Party, the two sides have found “sufficient coincidence of interest to overcome any ideological disagreement,” the analysis, which will be released on Wednesday, found....
I think "Frontline" makes it very obvious Daesh grew out of Iraq. There is no doubt about that. Why is that NOT politically expedient? Because the existing AUMF does not include al Baghdadi in its directions. The current AUMF is from something like 2004 or before. The OPERATIVE words required to continue the war in Iraq, Afghanistan and now Syria and/or Libya is "al Qaeda."
Al Baghdadi does not have a path through al Qaeda. He is a relatively autonomous figure that was absorbed by the forces to end the USA occupation. Given Daesh's pinnacle leader has no relationship with al Qaeda, the AUMF is mute and there is positively not a legal document to bring brevity of the USA to enter Syria and attack Daesh.
The removal of chemicial weapons out of Syria is a different issue. It is a provision in a treaty the USA belongs to at the United Nations. There was no need for an AUMF to leverage power to bring Syria to join the current Chemical Weapons Treaty and remove their stock piles and otherwise.
I have no doubt the USA military has a direct hand in manipulating the information regarding the last AUMF (Authorization for Use of Military Force) and current military presence and activities. The USA military is this tenacious entity in the world that finds it necessary to control every inch, minute and second of longitude and latitude to insure the USA's CONTROL of national security.
When a military general and/or commander come to the President and states they have a reason to invasion and action it really is questionable if it is the will of the American people. The USA is not suppose to be in Iraq, Syria or Afghanistan. That is a fact. To that realize the destruction and deaths at an Afghan hospital is a direct violation of the Geneva Conventions, yet, the USA military persists. But, no different than a CEO that wants to scapegoat employees, there has been a shuffling of personnel within the USA military regarding this incident to end and isolate responsibility in the command structure.
We don't belong in Iraq.
Nothing has been more clear in the year 2016.
We never did.
