The illusion of terrorist attacks

The hand is often quicker than the eye. We see these horrible random acts of terror and connect the same with ISIS, yet it was the Saudis and Israelis who spawned ISIS with early support in Syria to topple the Syrian Government. Who has the most to gain from terrorism? ISIS if you think they really are the puppet master and that they believe their own propaganda, but who ultimately wins with terrorism. More military budgets, more conflict in all the nations surrounding the Saudis and Israel, and ultimately a continued American middle east presence. It has gotten easy. Terrorist attacks can happen in another nation, and suddenly 35 billion more is allocated to defense spending. We kill some more civilians and the zealots migrate to this ISIS thing which coincides with the interests of Israel and the Saudis. I have asked this for years. If Israel is the devil to ISIS, why have they not attacked the same. If the Saudis are the devil to ISIS, why have they not attacked the same.

We saw an electorate could be fooled with illusions, and non of this is not connected. More scardy cat reactions to a few people killed and continued over reaction in the war against terror. These are common criminals. Nothing more, who are making billions for their leaders as the illusion continues. America needs to GTFO, and quit watching the soap opera of criminal acts in other countries......it is an illusion, and it has fooled the masses as the hand is quicker than the eye.

This is just so wrong on so many levels, I hardly know where to begin.

The Saudis and Israelis spawned ISIS? Really? REALLY?

The history of ISIS is so well-documented and so readily available that I am amazed you would even advance such a ridiculous notion. But just in case you're bone ignorant and can't--or more likely don't--read, let's run down a few points you missed, shall we?

1) The invasion of Irag in 2003.

2) The rise of al-Zarqawi's Al Qaeda in Iraq, AQI, in response to the invasion. This is the organization that eventually morphed into ISIS

3) The Sunni-Shiite death feud. After the invasion, the Sunni's were out, the Shiites were in and they persecuted the now powerless Sunni's remorselessly and with vigor. This displeased the Sunnis so much that many of them joined AQI.

4) The death of al-Zarqawi in '06 and takeover by al-Masri who changed the name to the Islamic State, IS, and started making trouble in western Iraq.

5)The surge in 2006 which killed enough IS fighters that they were seriously back-footed.

5) The death of Al-Masri who finally shuffled off to Paradise after getting blown to pink mush in an airstrike in 2010.

6) The rise of another religious psychopath named al-Baghdadi who moved the group into Syria because he was getting his ass kicked in Iraq and Syria was turning to shit because its leader, Hussein, was equally crazy.

7) Al-Masri rebranded the group once again and THIS is when the group we know as ISIS finally makes the scene.

I know it's nice to indulge your silly, simplistic ideas but reality is rather more complicated. And messy.

Let me leave you with a little ditty from Mssrs. Gilbert and Sullivan:

"Things are rarely what they seem,
Skim milk masquerades as cream."

The civil war in Syria and Iraq just happened spontaneously, and the easter bunny leaves candy eggs.

The Syrian civil war was going on before IS took refuge there and changed their name to ISIS. The Kurds and the al-Nusra Front were already fighting.

C'mon, this information is readily available. You're starting sound like what's-her-name with the alternative facts.
