A new report by the Pulitzer-winning veteran journalist Seymour Hersh says the Joint Chiefs of Staff has indirectly supported Bashar al-Assad in an effort to help him defeat jihadist groups. Hersh reports the Joint Chiefs sent intelligence via Russia, Germany and Israel on the understanding it would be transmitted to help Assad push back Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State

So the article is a bit older, but provides some background on today's situation.
If true, it actually gives me hope that there are still good military people in high places. Less of a mess for a Trump administration to clean up.
Yes, and if true, can you imagine how 0bama is feeling about this? LOL He’s probably just hearing about it now, on the TV news, like the rest of the folks.
I did not write the excerpt. It is just an excerpt from Democracy Now, I am not sure of the name of who authored it, but the data does agree with some other sources regarding this including London Book Review.
Which is good. 0bama was behind ISIS, Al Queda, Al Nusra.
0bama needs to be investigated and tried for multiple charge including treason. No more too big to jail.
I am beginning to think that the military has been saving us by countering some pretty dumb stuff for quite a while now. I have also watched some interviews and speeches by Flynn and Mattis. Clearly they resigned over dumb stuff, and started trying to get the word out about some of this stuff.
Ha. My ideal way he heard about it is that the Generals told him, we’ve had it, we are going to honor our oath regarding enemies foreign and domestic. You are going to straighten up or you will be facing a tribunal for treason and war crimes.
I avoid “Democracy Now!”. I left the shortwave on one day, waiting for another program, and they came on with a guy complaining that no “journalist” could find evidence of US war crimes when Bush43 went into Afghanistan.
Democracy Now is a far-left propaganda outlet.
Yes. I feel he has been very effective at hurting the USA.
Assad is no angel but he kept the peace and protected the Christians. Far better than the Islamic monsters that Hussain supported.
Well, that’s good to know. When I saw the Military to Military London Book Review, and Seymour Hersh’s name, it was just a short blurb, unless you had a subscription or payment, so I looked for a longer article elsewhere.
I was once told that reading many sources and knowing their bias is necessary to figuring out what is really going on.
OR, especially because it’s from Democracy Now, it’s an attempt to prop up obama’s legacy (not his fault, he was sobotaged)
Good to know.
makes a lot of sense in this context.
thanx for posting.
I’m not buying off on this.
We had men in the arena. I don’t think our leaders would undercut them.
If they could, they may have dragged their feet. Other than that I’m going to be very slow to sign on to this.
seymour hersh is a moron...he accused GWB of covert operations in iran just prior to the 2008 elections and claimed GWB was set to invade iran before the election:

...Which could also speak to soeotro’s recognition that he would not be able to pull of any military funny business as his “term” winds down.
And no doubt Hersch got his information from many of America’s 17 intelligence agencies.
