Much like Al qaeda, ISIS (Islamic state) is a US sponsored terrorist faction which was designed by US intelligence agencies to maintain its petrodollar empire.

Fact is US has a long and scorching history of backing terrorist groups since 1980 when Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. Back then USA and CIA had ties with Osama bin laden and its Mujahidin group which was heavily funded by US and Saudis to fight against Soviet in Afghanistan. Prince Bandar bin Sultan of Saudi Arabia, has also stated that bin Laden once expressed appreciation for the United States help in Afghanistan. During the 1970′s the CIA used the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt as a barrier to stop Soviet expansion and prevent the spread of Marxist ideology among the Arabs. So there is no question whether US supports Islamic terrorism only ignorant people will deny this fact either they don’t know history or they don’t watch news.

Like Al Qaeda which US used this instrument to fulfill its foreign policy to establish its petrodollar empire in middle east region, Islamic state is much like same which is backfiring now.

In order to understand how this terrorist faction controlled area size equal to United Kingdom we have to look back to history when US invaded Iraq in 2003. According to former CIA analyst John Nixon author of the new book, "Debriefing the President: The Interrogation of Saddam Hussein." Iraq was clearly big blunder in US foreign policy towards Middle East and Iraq. US had no understanding about the after effects of destroying Saddam Hussein secular government. He clearly analyzed that US invasion of Iraq created a good environment for Sunni radical Islamist like ISIS to flourish. He even stated in his book that while interrogating Saddam Hussein knew that if he would be removed then these Sunni radicals would become more prominent power in Iraq which he suppressed during his rule. Unfortunately what Saddam knew became reality in early 2014 and ISIS started to rise in power under weak corrupted Shite government of Iraq which was puppet of US.

US occupation in Iraq caused vast unemployment and dissolved the Iraq army which later joined ISIS. Obama administration called for return of US troops from Iraq in 2007 which followed the series of sectarian violence between Sunni and Shias. ISIS saw this as an opportunity and started to recruit fighters slowly. ISIS was a part of Al qaeda which separated from its root and rebranded into more deadly form. In 2010 ISIS focused its efforts in Syria uprising which later became a complex civil war that involved major powers around the globe.
