Horrible that we created and supplied Isis in the beginning for our purpose to take down Syria. Then they embarrassed us and we had to rein them in. But the CIA unleashed a lot of evil there.
Never forget those huge fleets of matching trucks, shiny new weapons and uniforms, and the fact that their convoys roamed desert highways in broad daylight. They knew they had no reason to fear highway of death airstrikes. Last but not least where were the war crime hunts, a Simon Wiesenthal toe hunt for war criminals? Don’t exist and that says something. And to date, the Israelis have only bombed those fighting Isis.

CIA and State created them. It’s obvious.

I think ISIS largely caught everyone off guard and didn't fit the existing template for who the good and bad guys were when they hit the scene, so the Western bureaucracy/diplomatic folks didn't know how to respond for a long while. ("Do we bomb them if it helps the Syrian dictator?") I don't know of any particular evidence that they were specifically supported by the CIA or other Western institutions, though I don't know anything against it either.

What I would say is that ISIS is one of the more horrifying consequences of everything that has happened since the neo-cons saw an opportunity in 9/11 to manufacture a dishonest case against Hussein to justify invading Iraq, setting off all the chaos in Iraq and Syria ever since. Yes, the dictators of Iraq and Syria were/are brutal men who had the blood of thousands on their hands. But the actions of the US have caused the death of many hundreds of thousands by comparison, along with millions of refugees and the horrors of slavery such as are described above, and much other devastation besides. This shows how badly neo-con imperialism can and does go awry.

The evil of our federal government sickens me and makes be hang my head in sorrow and shame. . . . I have always paid my taxes. It also sickens me that my tax dollars funds fund this evil, not to mention organizations I consider my political enemies. There is a whole lot to hate in Washington DC
