Because we got new toys. We're back on Al-Qaeda's side, ISIS is old news.
Also, I think Al-Qaeda is some other US agency, and ISIS is CIA, or some nonsense like that, and they were literally fighting each other. So the answer could also be "Our government is fucking retarded."
Well, yeah, there are disparate interests and groups in these countries. The CIA and Mossad try to infiltrate and control all of them, but just like the West, they can't control everyone. Each group may be infiltrated to a greater or lesser degree, or entirely captured and run by Western interests. The specifics are unknown, but the generalities are obvious. But your sentiment holds the same warning I give to others who accredit too much to the people in power, that they're all powerful and monolithic, which just isn't true.
