You're right.

No, but I'll just explain for people.

Syria falls into chaos and protest.

Assad is accused of having his security forces shoot armed protesters.

Right.

He calls them terrorists.

This creates a bunch of splinter factions.

There were around 12, the Free Syrian Army being one of the most prominent.

Obama, his policy was—it was, what was it, Timberwood or whatever—

Timber Sycamore, I think it was, to provide weapons to rebel factions in Syria because they will remove Assad and Assad was in the way of our gas pipeline.

Well, the problem is these factions were secular and fairly weak and the Islamic fundamentalists started to take control of these factions and coalesce them into a single group that wanted just the caliphate.

That isn't what Obama was trying to do, arguably.

Some would argue he was.

And he didn't make ISIS happen.

He provided the means by which ISIS became strong and dominant.

So people will hyperbolically say he created ISIS.

But there are degrees of evil.

And there is a line.

So if you know that there is a person who is like, the moment I get a chance, I will commit atrocities, then you say that it's not worth it.

There are certainly circumstances.
