A chunk of ISIS is being funded via Qatar and KSA by the US.
In one sentence IS is Western supported and funded rebels + Sunni Iraqi Tribes+ Ex-Bathists + Western born Muslims in a weird and wonderful coalition.
To remove IS completely, means removing much of the Western Supported and trained element. And that wouldn't do. IS is basically a Western and Muslim brotherhood + some elements of the Anti-Muslim brotherhood dice roll that went too far.
I'll give you an example: Iran no longer support Hamas either morally or materially. That one sunk below the waves nice and quietly in the past 3 years.
