I don't blame the U.S. for their beginnings, but I'd say there is a strong argument that we allowed them to get as powerful as they are. Both by pulling out of Iraq entirely and by arming rebels we didn't know enough about.

Possibly the former. No chance on the latter.

Since when does rosie hold any weight (no pun intended) concerning world affairs? That is comical and suits her vocation as a comedian. Really, I couldn't care less. Same goes for all those idiot film and singing stars. They're entitled to their opinion and because it's still a free country they can voice whatever they want. Now, if we're stupid, and uninformed enough to listen and repeat their lunacy that's when it gets bad.

The Surge armed some of these guys! I showed you the links. It's putting your head in the sand to say anything but that. Yes the Patreus surge had something to do with arming ISIS.

Plenty of things armed these guys, the surge and arming the Syrian rebels comes to mind; therefore, I can see how the US can get some of the blame here.

RE: Lib Hag Rosie O’Donnell Blames ISIS On America…
Patreus's own words
But another huge idea — and not something separate, not something just lucky — was the idea of promoting reconciliation with disaffected Sunni Arabs who felt they had been cast off, cast out of Iraq, that they had been disenfranchised. …
There was one small case of this outside Ramadi, in Anbar Province, when the surge began. It had been going on for several months, and I immediately went out there, assessed it, recognized that this is the kernel of a huge idea, that if we could achieve critical mass and set off a chain reaction, first up and down the Euphrates River Valley and Anbar Province and then to Baghdad and then up and down the Tigris River Valley, each of these in the predominantly Sunni Arabs areas west and north of Baghdad, that we could really make a difference. And we set out to do that.
Over time this spawned the so-called Sunni Arab awakening, the Sons of Iraq. Ultimately we had 103,000 former insurgents, and actually over 20,000 former militia members part of that 103,000 to give you a sense of the magnitude of this endeavor.
But there were a lot of other big ideas. One was to stop transition, and the rationale was that the Iraqi forces couldn’t handle the level of violence that existed. We had to drive it down.
These "Sons of Iraq" are NOW ISIS members..... Wake up Eagle Rock.

More Eagle Rock. Just a google search away.

"In last week's reporting from Iraq, Sahwa is not mentioned," says Sahwa's leader, now residing in Europe, via telephone call on June 14, 2014, "it's as if we never existed. But the truth is that, in Mosul, Sahwa members who had been set free from prison by ISIS have joined ISIS. We hated extremism and fundamentalism, but now we see the ISIS, which is an evolution of our enemy, Al-Qaeda, as the only possibility to stop the oppression and persecution of the Sunnis in Iraq. The enemy of my enemy has become my friend."

She has a point. When even Americans go to fight for them. It makes you wonder.

Lets not forget it was the US that trained bin Laden.
As far as Syria we have been arming the moderate rebels. Arms getting into the hands of the radical rebels was one main reason Obama delayed.

That there are people who are so fed up with our nosing in other people's business that they fight for our enemy.

No, they have other issues if they take it that far.

Of course they have other issues. They're crazy. But they also hate America for doing what it does.
