                  What Carl has stated are historical facts.<br>
                  <br>
                  I liked Jimmy Carter his first two years, but then he
                  started to listen to assholes like Kissinger and
                  Brezinski. His last two years were also the beghining
                  of de-regulation of the Trucking and Airline industry,
                  as well giving sanctuary to the Shah of Iran which was
                  the catalyst for the u.S. Embassy hostage crisis.
                  During this same period as Carl documents, the Carter
                  administration began to destabalize the progressive
                  left-wing government of Afganistan, by organizing,
                  training and financing some of the most extreme
                  Islamic religious fanatics to attack ; schools,
                  hospitals and agricultural extension offices, which
                  eventually destabalized the government and led to the
                  Afganistan government to ask the USSR for assistance
                  and the religious fanatics eventually became Al Queda
                  (sp. ).<br>
                  The rest is history.<br>
                  <br>
                  The point here Stan, is that we the people have lost
                  control of OUR government. You can't blame all the
                  bullshit that has happened in the last 30 some years
                  on the republicans. The democrats have also done their
                  fair share of damage. Both the Dems and the
                  republicans are financed by corporate special
                  interests. Often times the SAME corporate special
                  interests.<br>

                  <br>
                  The Carter administration (1977-81) invented modern
                  jihadism by rounding up the most fanatical fighters it
                  could find in the Mideast, arming them in the most
                  expensive CIA operation to date, and sending them into
                  Afghanistan (*before* the Russian invasion) "to give
                  the Soviets a Vietnam of their own"!<br>
                  <br>
                  Carter's Russophobe National Security Advisor,
                  Zbigniew Brzezinski (also an adviser to Obama's
                  presidential campaign), famously told an interviewer
                  from Le Nouvel Observateur in 1998, "What is most
                  important to the history of the world? ... Some

                  and the end of the cold war?"<br>
                  <br>
                  The "few stirred-up Muslims" came to include al-Qaeda
                  and the perpetrators of the 9/11/2001 attacks. <br>
                  <br>
                  Divide et impera, the Roman imperial maxim, has guided

                  Mideast energy resources, "the world's greatest
                  material prize," as the US State Department declared
                  in 1945. <br>
                  <br>
                  In this century that has meant a purposeful US policy
                  of setting Sunni against Shia in a vicious regional
                  civil war, which had not existed before the US invaded
                  Afghanistan and Iraq. <br>

                  > Citing what it called "informed Jordanian
                  officials," WND reported Tuesday that members of the
                  Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIS, were
                  trained by U.S. instructors at a secret base inJordan.
                  According to the report, the training was conducted in
                  2012 and was intended to help ISIS fight the Assad
                  regime.<br>
                  > The officials said those receiving training were
                  vetted for links to extremist groups like al-Qaeda.<br>
                  > WND first reported the training in February 2012.
                  Since then, other media outlets have corroborated
                  those reports. In March 2013, Reuters, citing Der
                  Spiegel, said that some 200 men had received training.
                  The goal was to train about 1,200 fighters of the
                  "Free Syrian Army."<br>
                  > Those reports did not specify if the instructors
                  were military or civilian, but some reportedly wore
                  uniforms. The training, Reuters added, focused on the
                  use of anti-tank weaponry. It is also unclear how many
                  of those trained are now fighting in Iraq.<br>
                  > According to Reuters, the UK Guardian also
                  reported the training, adding that British and French
                  instructors participated in the U.S.-led effort. The
                  Guardian, Reuters said, cited unnamed Jordanian
                  security sources, who were also reportedly involved in
                  the program, hoping to "prevent Salafists (radical
                  Islamists) crossing from their own country into Syria
                  and then returning later to stir up trouble in Jordan
                  itself."<br>
                  > A Defense Department spokesman declined to
                  comment on Der Spiegel's report, Reuters added. France
                  and Britain have also refused to comment on the
                  report.<br>
                  > WND said Jordanian officials spoke to them out of
                  concerns the sectarian violence in Iraq could spill
                  over into Jordan.<br>
                  > "ISIS previously posted a video on YouTube
                  threatening to move on Jordan and “slaughter” King
                  Abdullah, whom they view as an enemy of Islam," Aaron
                  Klein said.<br>
                  > A Shiite source in contact with a highly-placed
                  official in the government of Iraqi Prime Minister
                  Nouri al-Maliki reportedly called Obama an
                  "accomplice" in the attacks against the Maliki
                  government and told WND that one training camp is in
                  the vicinity of Incirlik Air Base near Adana, Turkey,
                  where U.S. military personnel are stationed.<br>
                  > Another report says the Obama administration
                  delivered about 65,000 ready-to-eat meals, or MREs, to
                  Sunni rebels in Aleppo, Syria. Additionally, the Wall
                  Street Journal reported Tuesday that Obama has ruled
                  out immediate air strikes against ISIS in Iraq. The
                  reason, WSJ said, is lack of intelligence on the
                  ground in Iraq.<br>
                  > Obama is set to meet with GOP and Democratic
                  leaders Wednesday to brief them on what is being
                  called a "comprehensive approach" to the situation in
                  Iraq.<br>
                  > “What the president is focused on is a
                  comprehensive strategy, not just a quick military
                  response,” said one senior administration official.
                  “While there may potentially be a military component
                  to it, it’s a much broader effort.”<br>
                  > Meanwhile, ISIS is reportedly battling Iraqi
                  military forces on the outskirts of Baghdad.<br>
