Over 3m Iraqis were killed since Gulf war 1. Over 1m just from Albreight/Clintons proud sanctions on food and medicine. To ensure a destabilized Iraq puppet government, Ian Bremer declared Sunnis (Bathists) ineligible for government jobs as one of the first decrees of his administratorship. That was enough to create ISIS creation motivation by itself, but there are allegations of direct financial support for ISIS by US, and its leaders became leaders as a result of being released from US controlled prisons.
