Oh cut the Bush made ISIS bullshit. Obama owns these babies.
All because he wanted to depose Assad. He turned a blind eye to their development in Syria into the wealthiest and most powerful terror army on the planet.
Hell's bells he turned IS into jihadist One Percenters by not dealing with them!
He wanted to depose Assad? As I remember McCain was the most vocal in this, just as he was the most vocal on Libya too.
He turned a blind eye? He didn't arm them which McCain would have done.
But you're thinking WAY too short term. ISIS didn't just start a few years ago, ISIS has been in development since the British Empire. The problem is Bush came in, made Islam the new common enemy and the number of Islamic fighters has increased massively since 9/11 when Bush said "al Qaeda" "War on Terror" every few minutes, films started using Arabic music every time they wanted people to know terrorism was involved, far right parties all over Europe and the US started to use Islam as a way of being racist because it was a legitimate form of racism as opposed to blacks and Jews.
You can pretend this isn't the care. You can pretend that decades worth of history have nothing to do with this. You can pretend that Obama's policy of withdrawing from vilifying Islam caused more people to become terrorists/freedom fighters, but the main reason they willing to fight is because of hatred of the US, hatred of US puppets in Iraq, in Saudi Arabia, in Kuwait, hatred of Israel and Jews (which is age old, and yes, born out of ignorance, continued with a US free for all policy that allows Israel to do what the feck it likes), and exacerbated by the supposed "War on Terror" which we all know was a war on OPEC and oil.
So don't give me this sheet that it's all about Obama, I know you don't like Obama, I don't care, I'm asking you to be OBJECTIVE, could you try?
I'm highly objective and very bipartisan in my rage at Harper (my conservative Prime Minister who I have supported since the beginning of his political career) my scorn at Cameron for his hypocrisy and my fury at Obama for continually interfering in the ME and the Ukraine .
These leaders of ours have taken the ME that at the best of times is a dog's breakfast and have jaked it up a notch to turn it into a permanently FUBAR'D state.
I don't need to discuss centuries of history every time we have a thread up about the ME and current situations. It's tedious to the max. I prefer to believe that others are as informed as I am. If they aren't, I don't care. It is up to others to discover history.
Now to the topic at hand. Obama et al have been supporters of this faux Arab Spring. Egypt handed to the MB was a monumental failure. Libya now has militias ready to seize control of 1/5th of the world's oil deposits and they are partying down in the US Embassy in Tripoli as I post.
Syria. Oh Syria. This has been the most transparent play for regime change by western leaders. Positively shrill in their panic that things aren't going as planned.
The spanner in the works of course is ISIS. As early as 2012 the CIA was co ordinating the smuggling of weapons to so called rebels aka terrorists and paid mercenaries with Qatar, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
The US has been directly involved in trying to overthrow Assad. So much so you have endorsed Assad's opposition who are puppets of Qatar and Saudi Arabia. On record.

So you see ISIS was born during the Syrian civil war. A perfect storm allowed this monster to become the wealthiest and the most powerful terror army on the planet. And until the invasion of Iraq by ISIS there was nary a peep on our side of the pond about these new rock star jihadists who were taking over great swaths of territory in Syria and preparing to set up their Caliphate.
These jihadists are very different from your dime a dozen car bombers. They have global intentions and last I read they had over 2 Billion with which to finance those goals.
And Obama/Harper/Cameron et al by turning a blind eye to the rise of ISIS and al Nusra all because they wanted Assad deposed by any means possible have given us this nightmare called IS.
