From the first sudden, and quite dramatic, appearance of the fanatical Islamic group known as ISIS which was largely unheard of until a year ago, on the world's stage and which promptly replaced the worn out and tired al Qaeda as the world's terrorist bogeyman, we suggested that the "straight to beheading YouTube clip" purpose behind the Saudi Arabia-funded Islamic State was a simple one: use the Jihadists as the vehicle of choice to achieve a political goal: depose of Syria's president Assad, who for years has stood in the way of a critical Qatari natural gas pipeline, one which could dethrone Russia as Europe's dominant - and belligerent - source of energy, reaching an interim climax with the unsuccessful Mediterranean Sea military build up of 2013, which nearly resulted in quasi-world war.
...
But it's one thing to speculate; it's something entirely different to have hard proof.
And while speculation was rife that just like the CIA-funded al Qaeda had been used as a facade by the US to achieve its own geopolitical and national interests over the past two decades, so ISIS was nothing more than al Qaeda 2.0, there was no actual evidence of just this.
That may all have changed now when a declassified secret US government document obtained by the public interest law firm, Judicial Watch, shows that Western governments deliberately allied with al-Qaeda and other Islamist extremist groups to topple Syrian dictator Bashir al-Assad.

Whatever the Russians are paying the Bulgarian who runs Zero Hedge for his pro-Russian anti-American disinformation, it's worth every penny.
A mystery ,
wrapped in a riddle
inside an enigma.
The Tea Party will blamed.
The 3am flash bang will announce the arrival of the New Boss.
Sometimes Tyler is plain “Out There”.
If ISIS is the creation, they sure have gone a long way round to it.
No no no. ISIS started in Syria.
how about bengazi,,?
had to be drones ,,,
a stand down order?
Looking on Wiki for political info is no better than Wapo so I’m not surprised.
There is still time to read and consider “Alas Babylon”
The Covert Origins of ISIS/ISIL.

Hey, show me what you got. But I have a feeling what you got is not known outside of websites like Zero Hedge.
This seems to be more of the blame-Bush-for-ISIS theme that’s being planted in leftist babblers minds and in the media where possible. If the truth about Benghazi is ever known, it’s likely to point to 0bama enabling weapons shipments to scum who would help him depose Syria’s Assad ... scum like ISIS. But if it everybody already “knows” it was Bush’s fault, 0bama skates again.
‘US’ didn’t create ISIS, 0dungheap did!
You would dismiss anything I post because it’s me posting it. Go look beyond left wing websites like WAPO and wiki and read and learn for yourself. Your choice.
Not my yob mang.
ISIs started in just outside of Chicago.
Or maybe you're just worried I'd question the validity of your sources.

As usual, Greetings posts are accurate.
The New American published an article asking if ISIS has roots in Russia: http://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/asia/item/20321-the-russian-roots-of-isis
I think ISIS is mainly the remnants of Saddam’s army and maybe some elements of AQ combined; got a foothold in Syria where there was widespread dissatisfaction.
55% of the French want a military operation against ISIS in Syria: http://uk.reuters.com/article/2015/05/24/uk-mideast-crisis-syria-france-idUKKBN0O80N120150524?feedType=RSS&feedName=worldNews
Former UK military chief wants UK to send up to 5000 troops to battle ISIS: http://www.itv.com/news/update/2015-05-24/ex-army-chief-uk-must-consider-ground-troops-in-syria/
So, the above are clear-thinking. Hope we can have the same or at least, a more invigorating air campaign.
One of the Americans that went to fight for ISIS was killed by the FSA while he fought for ISIS. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/27/world/middleeast/american-fighting-for-isis-is-killed-in-syria.html?_r=0
Furthermore, plenty of articles show Assad would put the squeeze on the FSA bombing them and not ISIS.
There are about 5 different sides fighting over there, maybe quite a few more.
“ISIS and the New ‘Army of Conquest’ in Syria Are Headed for a Showdown”
We don’t need to agree with Pat Buchanan, some here might take issues with what he has written but he just wrote:
“While few would mourn the passing of the Assad dynasty, there is a problem: If Assad falls, a slaughter of Christians will follow and the battle for control of Damascus will be between the Syrian branch of al-Qaida, the Nusra Front, and the crazed terrorists of the Islamic State.”

I hope the NYT prints this so Obama can find out about it otherwise he may never know!
The entire Arab Spring fostered and pushed along by Obama has done nothing except result in horrific casualties and mass rapes.
This is his legacy. The media will go to any lengths to protect the image of the first black president but when they tally up all the human misery he helped unleash in the Middle East that number will be his for all eternity.
Created no. They created themselves. We merely watered the plant assuring it would grow bring and strong.
I read that New American article and the only thing that came to mind as I was reading was Obama’s not meant for public consumption remark to Medvedev about ‘after the election having more flexibility’.
Then I read the comments. Overwhelmingly questioning the content and credibility of the author.
I suppose one could accuse them of being Putin plants but they sounded more angry at Obama and his abuse of our government.
