There's a popular theory in Iraq and Iran alleging a conspiracy between the CIA and the success of IS inside Iraq:
"The prevalence of the theory in the streets underscored the deep suspicions of the American military’s return to Iraq more than a decade after its invasion, in 2003.
"The casual endorsement by a senior official, though, was also a pointed reminder that the new Iraqi government may be an awkward partner for the American-led campaign to drive out the extremists..."
"Mr. Obama has pledged not to send combat troops, but he seems to have convinced few Iraqis. 'We don’t trust him,' said Raad Hatem, 40.
"Haidar al-Assadi, 40, agreed. 'The Islamic State is a clear creation of the United States, and the United States is trying to intervene again using the excuse of the Islamic State,' he said."
