It sounds terrible, but anything is believable these days.
I was just about to type the same thing. Now I’m craving canoli ;)
If there is truth to this, I believe the rationale behind it was to attract all the Islamic radicals worldwide into a single focal point so they can be stamped out. This would have been an easier option than trying to take them out one hy one as they popped up.
None of those facts are accurate. The US never provided direct aid to the Mujahideen, it was Pakistan that selected which groups.
Saddam was a soviet aligned state up until the Iran-Iraq War as well.
To find the creator, you don’t skip over the people who fund and arm it and go straight to those people who ignored it or “created the condition”. That’s like saying Neville Chamberlain created the Nazi
Its an attempt to blame Bush instead of Obama who created ISIS, even though Obama was in office for 5 years
The bloodiest, ugliest and most expensive chess board in human history.
If you could blame Bush for creating the condition, why is it you can’t blame Obama for creating the condition. After all it was peaceful in Iraq for 5 years since Obama declared Iraq war over and pulled troops out
BS. This is all about pretending Obama didn’t blow it.
I had wondered if that was the case, but with this prez, I doubt it.
The Ron Paul Institute?
Seems like to me that ISIS didn’t really take off until after we helped overthrow Muammar Gaddafi.
No. The U.S. Government did not create the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. The citizens (we the people) are the government, and as part of the government I know I didn't create ISIS. If anyone in the U.S. created ISIS, it was those who were elected and appointed to be our representatives, but instead gave aid and comfort to the enemy and became traitors to the United States of America. They need to be brought to justice, with a trial, conviction, and sentencing for their acts of treason.
“If there is truth to this, I believe the rationale behind it was to attract all the Islamic radicals worldwide into a single focal point so they can be stamped out. This would have been an easier option than trying to take them out one hy one as they popped up.”
That is like saying you want a huge cancer on your leg because you can isolate and eradicate it there. Of course, it works better if that is your enemy’s leg.
It would have been planned from before the time before Obama. There is a lot of foundation that must be built before they could attract a single warrior.
Not at all.
It is more costly for a nation to try and stop individual terrorists than it is for those individual terrorists to act out their crimes.
We can either use whole US departments on individual terrorists and try to find them or attract them all to a single region and get them all at once.
With the help of Russia.
So by this logic, the US’s actions were bad, therefore any further actions would also create another bad situation. Why do anything?
