Original Note:
The CIA did not sponsor ISIS/ISIL, rather Operation Timber Sycamore armed Syrian opposition militias with the goal of removing Bashar Al-Assad from power. As a consequence, many of these weapons were stolen and ended up in the hands of the Islamic State. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_Sycamore
