Thanks for the mention. I don’t discount Turkey’s involvement. I will note, that immediately after our supply of arms and funds to the enemies of the Syrian government, ISIS rose from obscurity to be a dynamic force in the region.
We knew the forces against the Assad regime were al Qaeda at least in part. We actually gave funds to al Qaeda. Now there is no mention of al Qaeda, only ISIS. It’s as if al Qaeda threw off their al Qaeda jerseys and downed ISIS ones.
It’s like the Democrat party in the U. S. One day they’re Liberals and the Next they’re progressives.
What else changed? Nothing!
