re: If ISIS is a CIA operation to justify continued war in the Mideast

If ISIS isn't a direct creation of western intelligence, which it is -- then there is no doubt that they've been indirectly-directly created by the west.

The type of question your OP is asking is sort of like getting stuck on the question of how the world was created, while not recognizing that the world exists. People always want to jump to who did 911, or how it could have happened, without researching factual evidence of the event. No one wants to build the house, they just want to see what the house looks like.

You want to understand how ISIS may be a CIA creation without researching how ISIS may be a CIA creation -- you want to have it logically make sense through questions that are a product of your current understanding, not research.

To sort of answer to your question.

They didn't create ISIS so they could have a 3 month arse kicking war. As long as ISIS exists it creates opportunities for more power grabs. It gives justification for more military spending. It gives justification for more restrictions. It keeps people in fear. It keeps the engines of the military-industrial-media complex lubed and running.
