The CIA created ISIS to overthrow Assad. That worked out poorly; like so many of the CIA interventionist plots.

In the 1980's the CIA armed the Islamic mujahideen in Afghanistan to fight the Soviets.

That action tturned out to be the catalyst of a disasterous 25 years for the USA, the mid-East and Europe.

Osama bin Laden, a wealthy Saudi, was a prominent organizer and financier of foreign volunteers for the mujaheddin in Afghanistan.

When the Soviets withdrew, some of the mujahideen morphed into the Taliban and embarked on a reign of militant Islamic jihadi terror.

Osama bin Laden went on to found Al-Qaeda.

In 2001 Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda carried out the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

And here we are after 15 years of fighting in Afghanistan:

• Obama is arming al-Qaeda in Syria in hopes of taking Assad down and installing a hard line Islamic regime.

• And he is making deals with the Taliban and ready to turn Afghanistan over to them.
