WAG: More major international incidents these days? Couple this with some noticeable bad decision-making (Example: Why is the current Administration so hot to arm Syrian rebels, even tho most of them are allies of both al-Qaida and ISIS, and in some cases likely the very same people?) and it’s really not hard to imagine how some people could see conspiracies in this. I mean, nobody in the US government could really be that retarded, right?

Yes, they could.
