Do you know the name of ISIS by their prior name?
Yes until the invasion of Kuwait
Al-Qaida in Iraq.
The Weapons industry loves war. America has lots of soldiers and a populace easily swayed by war. Wage war, get "benefits" from the weapons industry. Ergo, ensure there's more war to wage, so there's more money flowin'.
Gotta get dat GDP.
Uh, then his assertion is incorrect. Maybe we buddy-buddy before Kuwait, but certainly not "before 9-11".
Heck, the Clinton's railed against Saddam and made regime change an official policy. Saddam was vilified the entire 8 yrs of Clinton's office, which was all before 9-11.

Dead darkies? Has anyone on the left ever even met a Syrian?
The idea that President Obama, a half-black man who identifies as black, armed the Syrians because he considered them expendable "darkies" is so ludicrous that I marvel how anyone professing it could even write it with a kindergarten pencil, much less a computer. It's the kind of "reasoning" one expects to be expressed in barks and drool and artistically flung poo.
Because we didn't create ISIS.
Serving Saddam. Rape rooms and torture chambers don't run themselves.Lol. Where was ISIS when Saddam was in charge?

Jimmy Carters National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski admitted on CNN that the U.S. organized and supported Bin Laden and the other originators of Al Qaeda in the 1970s to fight the Soviets. Brzezinski told Al Qaedas forefathers the Mujahadin:
Perhaps you need to watch some of Saddam's speeches, for he very much considered himself to be the leader of the faith as well. Iraq was secular only in as far as whoever ruled it made damned sure no cleric could attain enough power to be a threat to himself.Saddam was head of a secular Baathist party. Perhaps you need a reminder that ISIS is approx the polar opposite.

Yep. As always, people who covet power will be whatever they need to be to attain that power.It's widely understood that the people in charge of ISIS are ex-Iraqi army officers. Some are radicalized, some just want to be back in the driver's seat.

'cause former Republican Presidents are great and can do no wrong.
of course we support ISIS, it's called controlled opposition, to further our system of destroying existing oil/gas infrastructure in order to allow a US or US allied company to come in and rebuild said infrastructure using the USD/loans by American allied banks/financial aid packages based on the US dollar.
because of compound interest and the FED.
we've been doing this to every country in the middle east starting with Iran, in 78'
"The truth about the middle east is, had there been no oil there, it would be like Africa. Nobody is threatening to intervene in Africa."
