“Nice find. “So we created Al Qaeda and we created ISIS.”
Not true in either case. Read my long post on this thread.
But first off Osama Bin Laden created Al Queda, not the U.S., long before 9/11. ISIS developed internally in Iraq from defeated Sunni terrorist groups, including some Al Queda, once the U.S. and Iraq forces quelled the civil war there. They were still active even if small, before the business in Syria broke out. Then they took advantage of the Syrian situation by recruiting Sunni fighters that wanted to go after the Muslim heretic, Assad, which ISIS was able to do in Syria because of the disarry there. There were no bodies ally in Syria. Not Assad’s, or the west’s. Eventually the U.S. and the Kurds mopped up most of them in Syria, and the Kurds and the Iraqis did the same in Iraq.
Again, for the U.S. another case of consequences not intentions.
“first off Osama Bin Laden created Al Queda,”
And we created and trained Bin Laden during our backing of the Taliban against Russia. So indirectly yes we did create Al Queda which fractured off into Isis.
