"Two things: One is, ISIL is a direct outgrowth of Al-Qaeda in Iraq that grew out of our invasion,” Obama said in an interview with VICE News. “Which is an example of unintended consequences. Which is why we should generally aim before we shoot.” President Obama said.
This is something I totally I agree with however it seems like he's just playing the blame game instead of taking control. He fails to mention the fact that Bin Laden was a CIA asset and was trained and deployed to fight the Soviets in 1979 when they invaded Afghanistan.
The President also fails to mention the fact that the Syrian Rebels we have been funding for the past 3 years have turned to ISIS.
The US has had a presence in the middle east and other Muslim countries since 1953 with Operation Ajax in which the CIA started a Colour Revolution to overthrow the democratically elected president of Iran Mohammad Mosaddegh.
This is admitted by the CIA...
We have been a presence in these Muslim countries for two generations now. It was only a matter of time before that population became radicalized.
This is the consequence of being the global police even if the intentions are good. It's time to fix the problems at home and stop worrying about the rest of the world. On the other hand, perhaps we created a monster that nothing can tame. At the cost of another World War it will be up to the United States to stop the monster it formed.
