Fascinating documentary on the origins of ISIS (the Independent State of Iraq and Syria)

To the victor go the spoils. History is written by the victorious. Where did ISIS come from and where is it going?
 

 What are we doing over there with our jets and soldiers? How does this impact our freedom and nation? As I understand it, the government is working with its NATO partners to reduce the "capabilities" of ISIS. My problem is that they were unsuccessful with their boots on the ground approach in IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN, so what makes the decision makers believe their "air only" approach will be effective?

More importantly is the development curve:

Americans under the WMD excuse depose Hussein - a SUNNI
Americans insert Malaki, an intolerant SHIA
SUNNI rebels flea to Syria and rebrand as ISSIS
ISSIS returns to IRAQ in force with extreme ruthlessness and tactical superiority

Oops.
