Another high level Pentagon report, quite widely read among those in the know, in 2012 (just very recently declassified), foresaw the rise of ISIS. And now the apologists are going to say "well, we knew about it all along". Funny, if it were not so serious.

Of course they knew about it, they created it/fostered it. When you can't find an evil enemy, sometimes you have to create them.
