You train them in Jordan which the CIA apparently already is doing. What the Nobel Peace prize winner wants to expand our training and us US military trainers.

the Russian occupation of Afghanistan is what galvanized the international islamist jihadist movement which was and still is a large number of splinter groups with some fish bigger and more experienced than others- ergo al Qaeda

We didn't “start” al Qaeda

Supporting anti-Soviet “freedom fighters” in defeating a Russian occupation of a neighboring country seemed like a good idea at the time (post cold war).. kinda like supporting Syrian “freedom fighters” is being used as a lure by john kerry and barry o’bama.

But this is not a post cold war world anymore and the Russians are actually sounding more sensible truthful and in line with our values than our own govt.
Crazy eh?

all I can say about these covert proxy wars is that the Kings of Jordan and Saudi Arabia seem to have a lot of confidence that “arab spring” is not coming to their palaces anytime soon

but they sure are running out of strategic depth, especially if Egypt doesn’t pull out of islamist takeover

0bama's REAL OBJECTIVE is to have a well trained bunch of terrorists that will turn their attentions toward Israel when time permits.

Exactly.
Zer0 wants to surround Israel with rabid Islamic fundamentalists.
After Syria, Jordan and Turkey will come under assault.
Why didn't Zer0 assist the opposition in Iran a few years ago? Because the Iran regime is so anti-Israel, just spoiling for an excuse to strike.

No question about it, Zer0 wants to destroy Israel.

And Los Zetas. Then we trained some nice Saudi boys to fly and now Muslim child-murdering cannibals. You don’t give hand grenades to chimps. You would think we would learn.
But I keep forgetting: our pResident isn’t one of us, he’s one of them.
So there it is.
