By shutting out the military and all former Saddam government employees from the new government, it created a large subset of the population that was unemployed, highly armed, well trained, and had reason to hate the new government and the U.S. Once ISIS came in with their organization and money, those types flocked to them because they offered them something the new government wasn't: a valuable role in their organization.
Also, I believe ISIS forces have gotten a hold of some of the weapons sold to various Sunni groups in Syria via Benghazi. It's like Iran-Contra on steroids.

We really screwed the pooch there. To this day I'm dumbfounded by that decision.
