When the Bush 2 people in Iraq fired the Baathist generals this was the beginning of the future of ISIS. When they then went and fired the entire Iraq army rather than maintaining the troops on basic wages, they provided the hungry army for these generals to recruit and mold.
Unintended consequences versus intentional funding is your argument?
Post 97 reminds me of a leftist I know that ends every paragraph saying “of course this was all caused by the excesses of the Bush administration.”
