[Peace-discuss] Is Barack Obama Actually Trying To Help ISIS Take Over Syria?

Tue Mar 3 10:54:39 EST 2015

Well Roger,

When do you start thinking for yourself instead of believing everything that
is shoved down the tube at you by the corporate controlled media ?

That is the question you should be asking yourself.

Am I absolutely certain 100 % that this info is true ?... No, but it is
plausible considering the past practices of the U.S. government in regards
to their use of and relationships with Islamic fundamentalist terrorist
groups.

Would you like some history about this  ?

Lets start with Afghanistan and the recruitment, arming, financing and
training of the Mujahedeen terrorists against the progressive government of
Afghanistan in the late 1970's.

Then there was the Kosovo Liberation Army Islamic terrorists in Yugoslavia.
Same M.O. as above.

Then there are the unanswered questions about Saudi intelligence financing
and other activities in support of the 9-11 attacks.

I know Roger, you will say " conspiracy theory ", but consider some of the
sources for this. The family members of the 9-11 victims and retired U.S.
Senator Bob Graham amongst others.

And more recently, the destruction of Libya ( another failed State disaster
as a result ) with the arming, training and air bombing support for ANOTHER
Al Qaeda spin-off terrorist group.

So with all of this past practice / M.O. is it really that far fetched ?

Especially when you know the REAL reason for U.S. military intervention and
other forms of economic and political sabotage is NOT freedom and democracy
but instead CONTROL of cheap Labor and natural resources for the benefit of
the 1 % corporate elites.

And one of the most used technique is the use of what's called " SHOCK
DOCTRINE " ( READ Naomi Klein's book by the same name ) and other forms of
chaos to obtain their ( the wealthy 1% and the corporate state neo-liberal
system ) objectives both abroad AND HERE in the U.S..

De-program form the propaganda, do some research and THINK critically.

AS Martin Luther King said in 1967 ; " The greatest purveyor of violence in
the world today is my own government "

Even more true today I am sorry to say !

Sincerely

David Johnson   

I

Are you nuts?  The President is not in favor of Isis taking over anything -
that should be pretty clear to you despite your thinking that Global
Research and Iranian propaganda TV are both good sources.

That headline sounds crazy, right?  It must be untrue, right?  Well, read
on, because you might be absolutely shocked by what you learn.  As you will
read about below, the Obama administration has used al-Qaeda fighters and
other radical Islamic groups in the past to topple governments.  And without
a doubt, Barack Obama is absolutely determined to oust Syrian president
Bashar al-Assad.  In fact, he came dangerously close to taking us to war
with Syria earlier in his presidency before backing down in the face of
overwhelming public pressure.  But what Obama wants to do in Syria has not
changed, and he is using the same playbook that he used in Libya and
elsewhere to get it done.

Of course on the surface Obama has "declared war" on ISIS.  He says that we
must defeat them in Iraq and in Syria so that the group does not spread.
But when it comes to airstrikes, the Obama administration has had an "Iraq
first" policy.  This has put ISIS on a defensive posture in Iraq, but this
has actually encouraged expansion of ISIS in Syria.

ISIS is just following the path of least resistance.  Is Obama trying to
discourage ISIS from committing troops and resources in Iraq because he
actually wants them to focus on taking down the Assad regime in Syria?  Is
Obama attempting to "herd" ISIS forces toward Damascus?  Those are some very
important questions.  What we do know is that the size of the territory that
ISIS controls in Syria has doubled since airstrikes began last summer
<http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2914475/ISIS-expand-control-Syria-A
merican-airstrikes.html> .

ISIS has almost doubled the land it controls in Syria since the US-led
coalition began airstrikes against the extremist group in the summer, a new
map has revealed.

The extremist group has continued to expand its 'caliphate', despite more
than 800 airstrikes hitting targets in ISIS-controlled areas since last
summer.

The map, created by the Coalition for a Democratic Syria (CDS), shows just
how much land has fallen to ISIS - which now has a third of the country
under its control.

Before the summer, the militants controlled just half that.

The following is the map that was created by the Coalition for a Democratic
Syria.  As you can see, ISIS is now much closer to Damascus than when U.S.
airstrikes first began.

And it is funny how the U.S. military keeps making "mistakes" by
air-dropping weapons right into the hands of ISIS.  The following is just
one example of this phenomenon
<http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/10/21/isis-video-america-s-air-d
ropped-weapons-now-in-our-hands.html> .

An ISIS-associated YouTube account posted a new video online Tuesday
entitled, "Weapons and munitions dropped by American planes and landed in
the areas controlled by the Islamic State in Kobani." The video was also
posted on the Twitter account of "a3maq news," which acts as an unofficial
media arm of ISIS. The outfit has previously posted videos of ISIS fighters
firing American made Howitzer cannons and seizing marijuana fields in Syria.

ISIS had broadly advertised its acquisition of a broad range of U.S.-made
weapons during its rampage across Iraq. ISIS videos have showed its fighters
driving U.S. tanks, MRAPs, Humvees.

We have the most sophisticated military on the entire planet and yet we drop
weapons into the hands of the enemy by mistake?

Come on.

Meanwhile, Obama and many members of Congress continue to insist that we
need to give lots more weapons to the "moderate rebels" in Syria.

But do these "moderate rebels" actually exist?

Ayad Jamal Al-din, a former member of the Iraqi parliament, is skeptical to
say the least
<http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/06/iraqi-politician-obama-is-supportin
g-isis-in-syria-will-he-support-isis-in-iraq-too-video/> .

The pressure on the Syrian regime, which is fighting ISIS, must be lifted.
They should not try to strengthen the feeble Free Syrian Army [FSA]. There
is no FSA. There is ISIS in Syria and Iraq. You cannot fight ISIS in Iraq,
yet support it in Syria. There is one war and one enemy.

The U.S. should give up its hypocrisy. People are not brainless. How can it
be that a State Department spokesperson talks about Iraq, and then a White
House spokesman says: "We must pressure the [Syrian] regime so that it
surrenders"? Surrenders to whom? To ISIS. Where is the FSA? There is no such
thing. The war is one and the same.

And what the American people are not being told is that these "Free Syrian
Army fighters" are continually defecting
<http://www.almasdarnews.com/article/3000-fsa-fighters-defect-isis-qalamoun-
mountains/>  and joining forces with ISIS.

Up to 3,000 Free Syrian Army (FSA) fighters have defected from the
organization and given ba'yah (religious payment; servitude) to the
self-proclaimed Caliph of the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS),
Sheikh Ibrahim Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, in the Qalamoun Mountains of the Rif
Dimashq Governorate - these fighters belonged to multiple brigades that
formed the conglomeration of the FSA.

As ISIS continues to spread their presence on the border of Lebanon and
Syria, many rebel groups have found this organization more appealing than
their predecessors due to their success in eastern and northern Syria. The
Al-Qaeda linked Al-Nusra Front (Jabhat Al-Nusra) - who fought ISIS in Deir
Ezzor - has seemingly repaired relations in eastern Lebanon and western
Syria. The 2 militant groups have been spotted working together during armed
engagements with loyalist forces in 'Assal Al-Ward and Rankous.

So when we train "moderate rebels" in Syria, there is a very good chance
that they will use that training and the weapons that we give to them to
help ISIS take over that nation.

But Obama knows all of this.

He just wants to take down Assad.

And he has used this playbook before.  In fact, the Citizens Commission on
Benghazi has released an interim report that claims that Obama
<http://www.wnd.com/2015/01/generals-conclude-obama-backed-al-qaida/>
"changed sides in the war on terror" in 2011 by arming al-Qaeda fighters and
helping them take down Moammar Gadhafi.

The Obama White House and the State Department under the management of
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton "changed sides in the war on terror" in
2011 by implementing a policy of facilitating the delivery of weapons to the
al-Qaida-dominated rebel militias in Libya attempting to oust Moammar
Gadhafi from power, the Citizens Commission on Benghazi concluded in its
interim report.

In WND interviews, several members of the commission have disclosed their
finding that the mission of Christopher Stevens, prior to the fall of
Gadhafi and during Stevens' time as U.S. ambassador, was the management of a
secret gun-running program operated out of the Benghazi compound.

This is what our government does.

They are not even afraid to use al-Qaeda to achieve their twisted foreign
policy goals.

So is Barack Obama actually trying to help ISIS take over Syria?

The evidence is mounting that this is indeed the case, and history tells us
that he has done this kind of thing before.
