By the way, what does “pedantic” mean? Wiktionary:
When people say George W. Bush “created ISIS,” they do not mean that he “created” them on a secret military base somewhere and brought them together – Alex Jones conspiracy style – in order wreak havoc. Generally, people mean that Bush “created the conditions” that allowed ISIS to happen.
In a “collapsed” dystopian post-war society with few employment opportunities and many left-over weapons, radical Islam seemed to offer a “way out” for some.
Many joined the group, and were able to gain power and influence in the chaotic situation of post-Saddam Iraq.

“You stated that ISIS was created because we don’t have enough presence and we’ve been pulling out of the Middle East,” Ziedrich said, shifting blame instead on to the consequences of George W Bush’s invasion of Iraq. “The threat of ISIS was created by the Iraqi coalition authority, which ousted the entire government of Iraq.
“It was when 30,000 individuals who are part of the Iraqi military – they were forced out. They had no employment, they had no income, yet they were left with access to all the same arms and weapons. Your brother created ISIS!”
According to the Associated Press, it’s the first ever self-driving semi-truck licensed to drive on public roads — in this case Nevada’s highways — not only for testing, but business, too.
“Daimler Trucks North America LLC debuted the self-driving big rig Tuesday night with a drive — and a driver steering — atop the Hoover Dam on the Nevada-Arizona border,” writes the AP.
Taking a line from astronaut Neil Armstrong, Dr. Wolfgang Bernhard of Daimler Trucks and Buses told the crowd bused to the site from Las Vegas for a news conference that they were about to witness “a short drive for man and a long haul for mankind.”
For the first time since 1985, the Republicans have control of the Nevada Assembly. And to lead their coalition, they have designated Ira Hansen to be the Speaker of the Assembly. They passed over the man already leading the GOP caucus in favor of Hansen, a man who believes in conspiracy theories.
He has different conspiracy theories about homosexuals, the Oklahoma City bombing, and blacks.
OK, Fine.
