The Obama administration were allies with ISIS too.
We've been gifting middle eastern Islamic sects and tribes (i.e. "moderate" rebels) with weapons for decades so they can act on their fucked-up terrorist convictions and murder each other for Allah.
You don't seriously believe the last 60 years of endless middle eastern foreign policy "oopsies" were because the US military are silly and clumsy, right?
War between Islam and civilization is inevitable and what we did was use the oldest trick in the book: have your enemy eat each other.

Ok grasshopper, then riddle me this, why are the NEO-LIB & NEO-CON in USA creating these war's between people?
Why is KOCH on the right, and SOROS on the left sponsoring 'faux terrorism' to get lone-wolves to do stupid shit? Why are there so many 'sandy hooks' and 'boston bombings'?
Does anybody think that Israel would NOT do this same shit in USA?

Yom Kippur Sermon 5769
A critical analysis of the Jewish alliance with the Christian Right regarding Israel
...
Netanyahu’s statement may be startling to some, but it does make sense if one’s priority for Israel is to hold on to all the biblical land. They were Netanyahu’s best friends, better friends than President Clinton from that perspective, with whom he was meeting the next day and who was pressuring Netanyahu as well as the Palestinians to meaningfully negotiate. For the Likud party and their supporters, this was a smart political alliance. Liberal objections about the real motives of these Evangelicals were not persuasive. True, these Christian right leaders believed the real significance of the State of Israel was its role in the apocalyptic end-times scenario, which they believed would culminate in the wiping out of most Jews and the conversion of the remaining few. This is deeply problematic and offensive for us as Jews. One could argue, however, that we don’t believe in these visions of the end time anyway, so what do they matter? If we agree on what should happen in this world, why not agree to disagree on what happens in the next.
...
As former Likud politicians such as Sharon and Olmert have moderated their stance, what has been the response of their allies in the American religious right? The response of the Christian right has been to lobby harder against any Israeli government effort to negotiate land for peace and any American effort to lead in that regard. What’s more, Pat Robertson has suggested that Sharon is in a coma because of his evacuation of Gaza settlements.7 (lol) Pastor Hagee has said that Hurricane Katrina happened because the Bush administration supported Sharon’s Gaza plan.8(lolol) And Christian Zionist lobbying efforts have played no small part in the Bush administration downgrading of the conflict on the America agenda, with the result that there has been no serious negotiations in almost 8 years. There is an even darker side, to this movement of the religious right that calls itself “Christian Zionism.” Many of these groups have supported some of Israel’s most extreme and most dangerous elements with large amounts of money and legitimacy. They have supported, for example extremist Jewish groups such as the Temple Mount Faithful who want to move or destroy the Al Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock in order to build the Third Temple on the site. Pat Robertson had Gershon Salomon, leader of the “Temple Mount Faithful” on his 700 Club.9 Salomon has also been invited to speak on many Evangelical tours to Israel.

Bible Prophecy Russia, Iran, and Allies Will Go To War ... and Will Invade Israel
A Prophetic War of the Ages Ezekiel 38 - 39
GOD warns Iran (Persia), with Russia (Magog), and a coalition of allies (including Turkey, Libya, Sudan) will go to war and will invade Israel. In Ezekiel 38-39 the Bible warns this coming war between Iran (Persia) and Israel will take place sometime after Israel has been re-gathered into Her land as a nation (which was fulfilled on May 14, 1948) ... this prophetic war has never yet taken place ... the only time in history Persia (Iran) has ever gone to war against Israel was to help Israel throw off the yoke of the Byzantine Empire around 614 AD.
THIS WAR will be unlike any other war in history ... this war will unleash a series of IRREVERSIBLE events which will change the world forever. God has set aside two whole chapters in the Bible to warn Mankind of this coming war ...
THE BIBLE warns the US will NOT defend Israel. According to the Bible, Israel must stand alone ... with God. For when this coming war does finally start, the United States will be unwilling (or unable) to help Israel defend herself. Even though the Bible warns the invading armies will be ultimately destroyed by God, it will be a devastating war for both Israel and the whole world. Bible scholars are divided as to whether this coming war is part of the prophetic battle of Armageddon or will just precede Armageddon in order to prepare a path for the Antichrist (a coming World Leader who will enforce a Peace Plan ("covenant") upon Israel) which will trigger the final prophetic 7-Year period of time which God has set aside for Israel and the World which is sometimes called the "Apocalypse" ...
