Obama pulled US forces out of Iraq. Maliki refused to allow the US to maintain bases for stability. Now Maliki is paying the price. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria was previously connected to AQ, but they were booted out for being too radical for the Sunnis. Al-Sadr is a Shiite extremist closely aligned with Iran. Their base of operations is near the holy shrines in Karbala (I was stationed there for about 6 months). There is no way al-Sadr can be a member of AQIZ or ISIS.

Obama pulled our troops out too soon. We still have bases in Germany and Japan. What was the rush to pull us out before there was a stabile government in place??
