At the very least, ISIS is the result of oppression, at the very worst it's a total construct to keep us afraid....something just doesn't ring true about how they appeared out of nowhere and are now suddenly everywhere and the most powerful evil force on earth.

And for Joe Biden to say this, makes me wonder all the more.
