    No. But the Media uses ISIS to perpetrate every lie in the world regarding extremism. If we ignored ISIS and let these nations work out their own problems and dropped the Sanctions on Libya, Egypt and Syria and Stopped Obie from holding hands with Iran it would not be nearly as rampant. But dropping drone bombs on unsuspecting civilians and dirt is just stupid.and we don't have ground forces anymore to make up a war. That is a total conspiracy theory imo - unsubstantiated by people who hate Muslims and don't even know what is going on in their own country - take Detroit -MI that was rebuilt by the Muslims. I know, Sharon Angle who lives in another red neck state would lie about it as if she would know lol

    That's not exactly what sane people have been saying.

    It wasn't DELIBERATE. The Reagan administration funded and trained fighters in Afghanistan, when the Soviets invaded it. Those people later formed Al Qaeda.

    Bush invaded Iraq, fomented civil war, destabalized the region, and left weapons -- those things are all behind the existence of ISIS.

    It wasn't on purpose -- those were just some of the forseeable consequences of the GOP wrongful policies and actions.

    The U.S. government didn't create Al Qaeda. What happened was every new incursion, invasion by the U.S. into the Middle East stoked the flames of radicalism in The Middle East and upped the membership to radicalized terrorist groups.

    And now Al Qaeda has gone from being a small group of radicals in Afghanistan destroying their own home nation by banning the production of its only viable resource (heroin) to having the hearts and minds of the Pakistani military, a government with nuclear weapons.

    But thank God we found those WMD's in Iraq, eh boy?

    Yes but in more of a Frankenstein way than a Lex Luther way, they thought they could control their creation to oust Assad in Syria but it got out of hand and is now running rampant

    All big governments train disposable operatives to do things while retaining plausible deniability.

    By living in such a nation you are an accomplice to murder. Live with it or deny it.
