The US trained the Syrian rebel fighters in Jordan and armed them to fight Pres. Assad of Syria.
Some of the rebels on returning to Syria chose to fight their own jihad to establish the so-called Islamic Caliphate.
That is as far as US involvement went with ISIL then. The conspiracy theories also should end here.
The IS group leadership is intelligent in acquiring Western military training through the Syria channel or via former Saddam Hussein Sunni Republican Guards and seizing better weapons abandoned by fleeing Iraqi forces. These weapons were then taken over into a 'safer' Syria to the ISIL HQ Raqqa.
This is no different from what happened when the US armed and funded the Mujahideen to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan just for these Taliban to turn on their former masters on 'defeating' the Soviets.
You've said it. But the motive of the west in Syria/middle East is never clear, and they deliberately cloud it to confuse the masses. I'm waiting to see the reaction of Russia if ISIL is attacked inside Syria, and if at all the west cunningly expands the onslaught on Assad forces like they did in Libya.
The same goes for Iran. Both Iran and Syria have been rejected outright by the US as possible partners in the scheduled annihilation of ISIS, which will happen anyway.......this is a pointer to a scenario that will become very complicated in the coming days. Obama has proven himself as the devil reincarnate, wrecking nations and leaving radicals, murderers and immense suffering in his wake!
