Related: About this forumThe Covert Origins of ISIS
I have seen quite a few threads now connecting ISIS to the Iraqi war,a connection iI don't think exists. But this video has a better theory on the origin. The main gist is that intelligence groups created it as a proxy to remove Assad from power. Its a 22 min video with lots of details and video evidence, so please watch when you can.
Its a big of misinformation as the civil war starting as a result of Assad attacking peaceful protesters.

(8,219 posts)that's been my take on it, although I haven't wanted to allude to it here on DU because, you know, the American government is so moral and upstanding and all that.
And it didn't start because he killed his own people...killed his own people...killed his own people (the Empire wants you to keep saying this until you believe it).
He refused to bend his knee to the Hegemon. Likewise, Saddam and Kaddafi.
I don't have time to look at the video right now. I'm on my way out and won't be back until much later this evening. I'll check it out first thing tomorrow. Good work, jamzrockz.

(8,219 posts)especially the remarks by Gen. Wesley Clark, which I've heard numerous times, starting at about the 19:00 mark.
I doubt, though, that this video will have much resonance, here, mainly because it fails to sell the product. I will leave it to others to determine, for themselves, exactly what that product is.
Thanks for posting.

(1,333 posts)Sadly, many people still cling to "it was all Bush's fault". For me, I think Bush is like the long snapper for a football team, he snapped the ball but ISIS did not take off until the US, NATO and allied countries with help from GCC nation set and kicked the ball through the upright.
