Some people think ISIS was accidently spawned by US policy.
I say it was directly spawned, purposely so, by US policy. They were created for a purpose, and have largely fulfilled that purpose. Had it not been for the really, really bad PR they got from slaughtering Christians and filming it, Obama and company would be taking credit for them, and proudly so.
As it is, they have been forced to deny any relationship, to pretend to fight them, and finally to actually fight them in some cases.
That doesn’t change the fact that they were a Turkish/Saudi/State Department operation from the beginning.
My view. Yours may vary.
What purpose do you think they were purposely formed for. I always believed it was to oust the Syrian regime and to do their revolutionary overthrows. But, curious of your thoughts.
