Sadam / Osama / ISIS / etc. is the excuse du jour for the government to transfer money to the military industrial complex.

In exchange, the military industrial complex provides campaign funds for politicians to get reelected.
Rinse and repeat.

And remember, it's about invading / occupying / equipping the enemy / humanitarian aid / overthrowing / stirring up trouble etc. The worst thing to do would be to spend a week actually defeating ISIS. We need to keep the gravy train going!
