ISIS is the fault of radical Islam, plain and simple. Our government is too worried about being PC to destroy them, and the Muslim countries of the region expect us to clean up their messes every time.
I would say yes, or would never reached the level it has, if the US had listened and not ignored when told how (for one thing) Camp Bucca was an incubator for jihadists.
This is a very interesting and informative documentary. Part 2 will be shown a week from now.
Of course it could have been avoided. WE (the US) is to blame for their creation, just like Al Queda, Taliban, Mujahideen... among others who are products of the CIA meddling in other countries.
We witnessed the collapse of the USSR because of invading and occupying Afghanistan. It was their version of Viet Nam. Does anyone think our leaders did the exact same thing because it was prudent? We invaded in an attempt to control the vast natural wealth locked in their ground, and nothing more. Terrorism was the excuse, and now it has become a monster that's out of control... no surprise.

It's the perfect irony. Previous administrations (GHWB, Clinton, and GWB) created the monsters, and the current one runs from them.

Oh please stop!
Blaming Bush for EVERYTHING is now almost a decade past. Time to put on big boy pants and grow up.
I think it could have been nipped in the bud.
When they first started gathering strength,
they were pretty much all grouped in one place.
Now they have spread their tentacles throughout the "Caliphate."
We allowed them to advance across vast expanses
of open desert. Now we have to fight them in cities.

Bingo.
This is the natural result of actively trying to destabilize an entire region that was barely holding itself together to begin with. As any rational, sane, informed person could have foreseen, it immediately descended into chaos and the extremists took over.
especially since ISIS was formed in 1998/9...prior to bush
What do you suppose kept them outnumbered and contained?
