Ironically, FW, there is a lot of room for conspiracy theory here. A friend of mine, whom I consider very smart, laid it out for me...
How does ISIS suddenly seize this or that city? It's a bunch of guys in pick up trucks operating in the DESERT. Given the American surveillance capability and strike capability, this seems incongruous.
How is it that ISIS is operating literally miles from the hated Jews, yet there have been no ISIS attacks on Israel or any Israeli strikes on ISIS?
The theory put forward is that the Americans have chosen to back the Sunni side against Iran/Hizbullah/proxies and have tolerated the Saudi protégés (ISIS). There is a tacit understanding the Americans/Israelis will leave ISIS alone as long as ISIS does not attack Israel or the American homeland. There is a bit more to it...
How is that for a conspiracy theory? Thoughts?
