Paul is right on this.
We have been arming terrorists in Syria. We have been arming just about anyone opposed to Assad in an effort to overthrow Assad.
Yesterday, there were 3 strange reports:
1. Syrian Air Force might have just assisted Maliki against ISIL in Mosul.
2. Putin has agreed to help Maliki.
3. The King of Clubs, Al Douri, is the leader of ISIL now fighting in Iraq. He was Saddam’s former Vice President and a knowledgeable WMD general.
So, US policy has us fighting the people we were supporting and getting help from the people we were fighting, and having Obama’s nemesis, Putin, coming to the aid of Maliki the guy we support and that Iran supports.
In other words, as I put it together. Our foreign policy is lying through its teeth about what’s going on.
John McCain poses for pictures with them, what are we supposed to think.
And who says Bam Bams foreign policy isn’t going well. /s
It’s true but with the Saudis backing ISIS it may not matter that much. They would have gotten what they needed anyway.
Paul said. “If we were to get rid of Assad,” it would become a “jihadist wonderland in Syria.”
Glad to see he got something right again.
Benghazi was an arms deal gone bad. No backup was sent in because they WANTED those killed to be silenced.
Duh, where do you think they got the M 16’s?
This is where Paul is actually right..McCain posted for pictures with these punks..of course the US has been arming ISIS, its been going on for a while
So Mr. Paul.. did Obama or Bush arm ISIS?...because you and some other libertarians say Bush lost Iraq to ISIS but ISIS can’t fight without weapons..
impeachable?
Haven’t we learned ANYTHING since 1979? ANYTHING?
We have no Muslim “friends”. The Muslims cozy up to us when it benefits them in the short term. As soon as they don’t need us, they turn on us and kill us.
Until Islamic countries demonstrate a willingness to confront and FIGHT the militants OF BOTH SUNNI OR SHIA, we need to treat them like lepers.
CHEERS!
The tin foil is strong in me at the moment: What if Obama wants a jihadist take over of Iraq to make Bush and Republicans who argue for a strong defense look bad?
Next election: “Do you really want to vote for a Republican who will continue to send troop around the world on no win missions like Iraq? Vote for the peace loving Dems like Elizabeth here.”
The day Barry kissed the ring finger of the fellow Saudi king a Sunni told us who was in control now folks .
We are in deep trouble now.
ISIS (2012 and up) = Free Syrian Army (2011 and up) = Al Qaeda(1990s and up) = Mujahideen (1970s and 1980s)
They serve under the same black flag. Here is a picture of ISIS (aka free Syrian Army aka Al Qaeda) in Syria with link.
And here is Al-Qaeda’s flag with supporting links.

and
ISIS (aka the free Syrian Army…aka Al-Qaeda) is armed, supported and trained by our military and CIA out of Jordan. That is why we are standing down folks.
Remember folks these are the same guys that were operating in Syria, and who the Republicans (McCain( and Democrats wanted to support. Plus they are led by Al-Qaeda.
