Bradley Cooper develops HBO miniseries about rise of ISIS militant group

Don't forget to mention the funding from our Saudi "allies", although being American they will probably blame it all on Iran.

The biggest problem is that government employees, of any kind - CIA, Bureau of Land Management, Internal Revenue Service - are TOO MANY TO MANAGE. No one is overseeing these people and they want to be paid as well as the private sector. Hence, our huge budget which will only grow larger and larger. I thought Bradley was a liberal last week. I hope he has learned from the book. He is a huge beneficiary of our capitalist system. That is good as long as he is appreciative.

Sure, why NOT ? Let's ROMANTICIZE them, and draw MORE people to join.

ISIS came about from its founder al-Baghdadi (an Iraqi who was an US prisoner and hates the US) and Sunni ex-Baathist military officials off Saddam Hussein's regime. They started from Iraq, not Syria.

There was never a no-fly zone in Syria. Turkey wanted one, but NATO dismissed it and Russia rejected it. Anybody who says there was a no-fly zone in Syria is making stuff up.

Good work, lostrune2, citing facts as opposed to the usual deluded "narrative."

“It’s entertainment but it’s not purely entertainment,”

ISIS is not entertainment period. Capitalizing on misery is shameful.

Informing, yes. Stimulating thought, yes. Entertaining, no.
