So they pretty much "predicted" ISIS. It's very relevant to the point; it's actually the whole point.
"Guess" is a synonym for predict. So what's your point? what is your objection on the use of "predict"; which is a synonym for "guess"??
What was your point? we can always "guess/predict" some future events to some degree, the gift of the "foresight" increases the more we have experience in life, or we have knowledge to build upon.
The world is full of "foresight centers" that presidents and politicians use to "foresee/predict" the consequence of their actions.
One has to ask what your point is if one could guess that ISIS would develop based on reasonable expectations about events?
My implicit point is that the American politics is very rotten to the degree of ignoring forecast centers around the world, and its gets even more rotten when you consider the insane blame-dodging of many American politicians.
Look what happened as a result; Trump ruled and Saudi Araba's voice became stronger than most politicians in the U.S, the elections which were almost "holy" are proved to be rigged by Russia, Saudies are killing American teenagers in broad day light inside the U.S and escape... It is what I said in another topic: feces are being thrown at the U.S constitution, and dejavus about the fall of Rome come to the mind.
