16. You just have to wonder

The Syria govt, the Kurds, the FSA, the Russians, the Iraqis, the Iranians are all fighting the ISIS forces and somehow they are able to grow stronger. I hate to believe the US and its allies created another Islamic jihadist group to carry out their proxy wars but I just cannot convince myself that the USA or CIA at least doesn't a hand in the rise of ISIS.

Remember, we have always wanted to remove Malaki from Iraqi and deciding to help fight ISIS could be the bargaining chip that is used to kick him out and install a more obedient leader.
