Both Al Qaeda and the new-improved version, ISIS, were created and funded by our tax dollars to help along the establishment agenda in the Middle East. Bush and Obama just happened to be President during that time and therefore credited with their creation.
As I said...bullshite. See above link . This myth of CIA creating AQ has been debunked for decades.

The direct creation of the AQ by the CIA has always been a myth, but Operation Cyclone funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to Afghan Islamist militants through Pakistan's ISI. It was through ISI that many of those militants, both from Afghanistan and abroad, received training, monetary support, and weapons. In addition to this funding, there was Saudi support up until the Gulf War, and then private support through various groups. Operation Cyclone is not a myth, but it's overall effect can be argued. Nonetheless, the combination of US and Saudi money and direct ISI support gave impetus and organization to numerous Salafi groups in that time period.
