The Covert Origins of ISIS (aka Al Qaeda in Iraq).

And who created Al Qaeda? The CIA as a response to the Soviets invading Afghanistan in 1979.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qaeda
The origins of al-Qaeda as a network inspiring terrorism around the world and training operatives can be traced to the Soviet War in Afghanistan (December 1979 – February 1989).[49] The US viewed the conflict in Afghanistan, with the Afghan Marxists and allied Soviet troops on one side and the native Afghan mujahideen, some of whom were radical Islamic militants, on the other, as a blatant case of Soviet expansionism and aggression. A CIA program called Operation Cyclone channeled funds through Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency to the Afghan Mujahideen who were fighting the Soviet occupation.[110]

No, the CIA funded the Afghans through Pakistan, that is true. Al Qaeda were not Afghans though, and they didn’t receive money or assistance from the CIA. Al Qaeda grew out of a community of foreign fighters that flocked to the fight, and Bin Laden was able to assume prominence with them in part because they needed his money, since the US was only funding the Afghan rebels and not the foreign fighters.

AQ was saud. America was funding other militias, but AQ was all Saud.

As for the Taleban, they were anyone that switched sides, and many of them were actual Soviet/Russia tied.
