What if the U.S. had begun withdrawal from Iraq left entirely by 2006 with no forces left behind?
The current mess in Iraq happens a few years earlier.
A group like this probably becomes strong enough to attack the continental United States itself. Bombings, shootings, and practical attacks in major cities. A similar intervention and retaliation may have to happen on an international level at least NATO. They like ISIS probably attack Europe, Russia, and parts of the Middle East as well. A new coalition is needed to stabilize the area. The group is probably closely tied to Al-Qaeda with an alive Bin Laden still.
John Kerry{or a different dem}, as President(likely in TTL for the premise to work) would be needed.A group like this probably becomes strong enough to attack the continental United States itself.
