Believe what you want to. When you say something like “We know for a fact” and then state an off the wall ISIS conspiracy theory, I lose faith in the objectivity of your analysis.
It reminds me of Mark Twain’s quip that, it’s not so much what we don’t know that’s the problem, as it is what we do know, that just ain’t so.
The core that became ISIS was alQueda in Iraq. And to a lesser degree, the Ba’ath Party. We were steadily hunting and killing them, every night.
It wasn’t a conspiracy, it was a $#%& up. We recruited fighters, used them, then were stupid enough to be shocked when they turned against us. Known facts.

Fast forward to the U.S. “surge” in 2007: The U.S.-installed, Shiite government in Baghdad began reaching out to Sunni tribes, encouraging them to reject AQI. By this point, AQI was basically defeated and it looked like peace was coming to the Middle East (kinda).
