Unfortunately he is closer to the truth than most,he sure beats Singer hands down,the West has been interfering in the mid east since before the First world war.
The British and the French created and set the boundary's for the states that exist now with no thought to what the actual people thought about it.
As the Israeli military & intelligence services created Hamas so the we Australia,US,GB created ISIS with our blundering in IRAQ on a massive set of LIES.
The West seems to never learn as we again blunder into IRAQ for the 4th time I suppose the only person who will be happy about another War will be Abbott as the rest seem to be having a rethink.

ISIS may be Operation Cyclone 2.0
"Operation Cyclone was the code name for the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) program to arm and finance the Afghan mujahideen prior to and during the Soviet war in Afghanistan, from 1979 to 1989. The program leaned heavily towards supporting militant Islamic groups that were favoured by neighbouring Pakistan, rather than other, less ideological Afghan resistance groups that had also been fighting the Marxist-oriented Democratic Republic of Afghanistan regime since before the Soviet intervention[citation needed]. Operation Cyclone was one of the longest and most expensive covert CIA operations ever undertaken"

Zbigniew Brezinski was a central player in Operation Cyclone. Brezinski met with Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan in 1979 and even had his photo taken with him.
Weeks before he died, former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook said.
"Bin Laden was, though, a product of a monumental miscalculation by western security agencies. Throughout the 80s he was armed by the CIA and funded by the Saudis to wage jihad against the Russian occupation of Afghanistan."

Evidence is mounting that US allies such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey have been instrumental in funding ISIS while US intelligence agencies were fully aware of this.
