I am re-posting this video because it contains some valuable information.

However, it fails to mention why the fighters left Iraq and went into Syria and where they originated? The US government had dismantled Saddam's Army when they invaded Iraq and they were primarily Sunnis. The new Shite government in Baghdad had no place for them. Those former military supporters of Saddam are the people that came back into Iraq and took over the oil fields and the cities they presently control. Our CIA armed and trained them. That is ISIS.
