re: ISIS.. Iraq, Iran, and the US. Understanding the issues

I started a thread recently on this topic

This topic is what to do about Isis. Not so much as how they came to be. The article you linked to was horrible. The writer could not form sentences:

Once the U.S. military is able to freely conduct operations in Syrian territory getting the regime change that they will be much, much easier.

What?? Seriously bad.

I was told that most of the posters on this board are aware that the US has funded and supported ISIS.

Second, your article makes a huge leap in saying we funded and armed ISIS. The linked article to back up what the writer asserts states the leader of the SRF is not fighting Al Qaeda. It also says we gave the SRF aid to fight ISIS:

quote:

---

when the SRF was the recipient of significant aid from the US and its allies in order to fight the ultra-extremist and one-time al-Qa’ida affiliate Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis).

With help from the Salafi Islamic Front and Aleppo-based Islamist Army of the Mujahedin, the SRF has forced Isis to retreat to its stronghold in the Aleppo provincial city of Raqqa, to Jarabulus on the Turkish border and to the Iraqi border.

---

So your article does not prove we funded ISIS. Your article CLEARLY linked to another article that CLEARLY stated that we gave AID to the people who pushed ISIS back.

Not one link in that complete article states we armed ISIS.



Now, if you want to talk about why Obama is destabilizing all of the ME.... start a thread.
