I know we're the ones who set up Al-Qaeda and I don't deny we've done something similar with ISIS. I just don't agree that they're our mercenaries. I think we may provide them with, uh, assistance, but not actually control them.

We do through black projects and clandestine joint ops with Sunni Wahhabism in Qatar, UAE, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Everyone wants a piece of the pie. They obviously have their own agendas whether, socioeconomic, geopolitical, etc., so we can not control everything they do at all times, but we do work directly with them via cloak and dagger, mostly though, we just provide them with tens of millions of dollars in rocket launchers and assault rifles via our gulf proxies.

They are our mercenaries if we can utilize them to further a geopolitical agenda. If it means arming and training them cloak and dagger style, we'd do that too.
