I apologize if you don’t get it. It’s ok. We, the USA did train fund and arm several terrorist groups to overthrow Assad. Last fall those groups did indeed throw in their support ti ISIS. That is a fact, not an internet conspiracy. ISIS is using the tactics taught in those CIA training camps to evade our detections. They have learned well. So yes we bear much of the responsibility of what ISIS is doing today. I know, I know, Obama is important to you. You’ll get over this soon enough. By the way, we didn’t create Al Qeada, Osama Bin Laden did. And no we didn’t arm him, he armed himself. And yes many reporters have confirmed the uniting of the opposition groups in Syria last Fall

The major BS factor in the whole story is that Syria might still have a useful air force. Remember it was Basher’s guys who were rolling barrels of HE out of helicopters? Or is the Grand Kenyan gonna send them a new squadron of fighters?

There are secular Syrian opposition forces such as FSA whom the US and other Western nations have assisted.

There are Islamist Syrian opposition forces whom the US and other Western nations have not assisted.

You have never acknowledged this distinction and cavalierly jump between the two groups in your citations and reasoning in order to craft the argument that the US armed and trained ISIS. If some FSA units ‘pledged allegiance’ to ISIS that is an ex post facto action of any training or support they received from the West and does not in any way make the West culpable for the actions of ISIS.

It’s called tribalism. Alliances come and go based upon relative strengths and weaknesses.

And your implication that the CIA trained ISIS is complete crap. Why would the CIA teach ANYONE how to evade US ISR? And ISIS isn’t evading anything. In fact they’re getting drone-bombed out of northern Iraq straight back to Syria. Do you think the Iraqis are doing that? So the Iraqis are using drones to protect the Kurds?

Your reasoning behind US culpability for ISIS is as mind boggling as it is repulsive.
