There really is nothing more annoying than people claiming the US/West created armed and funded ISIS
These banksters and evil shadow rulers that everyone gives so much credit are nothing more then bumbling old men most of the time pursuing silly follies.

Problem is not what we know, it`s what we don`t know, as always.
US could easily have used their allies to support ISIS.
Lets look at the facts regarding it :
- It`s known US puppet regimes follow US wishes almost always
- It`s also known US puppet regimes support ISIS
- From the past we know US has been funding such organizations lots of times
- Assad needs to go, because he`s blocking gas-pipeline from several countries to EU
- US have used (and funded) in similar cases lots of times "local" organizations to accomplish such goals
Based on the above, it`s not that difficult to conclude, that even without direct evidence ISIS might well have been funded by the US.
So no there`s is no direct proof, but you also don`t proof it might well be the fact.
Something is there or it isn`t, it doesn`t matter if there`s proof of it or there isn`t!
You`re trying to make it look like the assumption that US is behind ISIS can`t be made, because of lack of direct evidence, but you still fail to proof US is not behind it (problem is with all the information we don`t have)...
...and because of our knowledge of US tactics in the past, assuming US might well be behind ISIS is legit, because of all the circumstantial evidence.

There really is nothing more annoying than people who do not do their homework.
We DID arm them. Directly? Or indirectly is the question. not did they. Yeah they did.
Check on page back, to see my full post.
Professor Coyne, in an interview with me, brought the whole academic point down to the very practical in applying his and Ms. Hall’s work to the current situation in Iraq:
The U.S. government provided significant amounts of military hardware to the Iraqi government with the intention that it would be used for good (national security, policing, etc.).
However, during the ISIS offensive many of the Iraqis turned and ran, leaving behind the U.S.-supplied hardware (Humvees, trucks, rifles, ammunition.) ISIS promptly picked up this equipment and are now using it as part of their broader offensive effort. This weapons windfall may further alter the dynamics in Syria. “Now the U.S. government wants to provide more military supplies to the Iraqi government to combat ISIS. But I haven’t heard many people recognizing, let alone discussing, the potential negative unintended consequences of doing so. How do we know how the weapons and supplies will be used as desired? What if the recipients turn and run as they have recently and leave behind the weapons? What if the weapons are stolen? In sum, why should we have any confidence that supplying more military hardware into a country with a dysfunctional and ineffective government will lead to a good outcome either in Iraq or in the broader region?”

[...] before swearing its allegiance to Al Qaeda [...]
and we all know who created al qaeda.
but lemme guess, you believe in the official bin laden story, right?
it doesn't surprise me though, when you're using wikipedia as a source to cure BS with BS.
the truth is probably somewhere in the middle, pretty far from your version of the story.
Are you aware that the weapons ISIS is parading around in Iraq are ex Iraq army weapons and hardware which the US sold or gifted Iraqi government ?

By it was all a big Opps, my bad, by USA and our foreign policy?

Id just suggest you laugh.

I understand that fact.

I just wish people would stop protecting ALL these criminals. Thugs in suits and Ties. Big Private Bankers, with their hands caught in the cookie jar.
That was my only point. I understand it is a passionate debate. So just laugh, don't cry, it is not worth protecting these criminals. And that is what they are. All of them.
Not sticking up for ISIS or any of them. But there is more to this than meets the eye. MSM feeds the public spoon fed info. While the truths to all this goes on behind closed doors.
Do I have the absolute truth? No I don't and do not claim to have it either. But I do have another way to look at this, and I am going from our history, and what these Bankers have done in the past. What makes you think they just changed their ways, and have nothing to do with this crap going on right now?

Really? I suppose they ran away from the far more poorly armed ISIS/ISIL troops that were careening across the deserts in the trucks they stole from.....who ??
Meanwhile back here on Planet Earth, no one in the WORLD heard of this ISIS even one year ago, but that was in a different dimension, right ?
