Glenn Beck’s Theory on the Real Reason Why the U.S. Bombed the Khorasan Group in Syria
The Blaze ^ | September 30, 2014 | Erica Ritz

Glenn Beck presented a theory Tuesday about why the United States bombed targets from the Khorasan group last week, saying it’s possible that the United States did it to help prop up the Iranian government in return for increased cooperation from Iran’s leaders.

“It is a theory, but remember, my theory was that you were being lied to in great detail on Benghazi,” Beck said on his television program. “I think this is going to fall in the same thing. I have an answer that nobody else does. [But] I want you to know again, it is a theory.”

Beck said the theory came together after he read a post on Layman Geopolitics.

The post explains that the Khorasan group has long targeted the Iranian regime, wanting to grab power for itself, so eliminating the group’s leaders helped the Iranian regime as much as it did the United States.

Don’t think so. The IRI helps al Qaeda which is so-called Khorasan

Particularly when you consider that Obama has had a secret in-the-closet love affair with the Iranians all along.

So long as the U.S. plays factions and sects of Islamists in that region against each other, as the U.S. has done for years, while thinking she can capitalize on results and ensuing discord, it is absolutely senseless, depending on perspective. It’s also called Politics, and Only more than one can play.

Interesting, the simple explanation is that Obama used the ISIS campaign as an opportunity to cover his tracks on the fact that Al Qaeda is alive and well.

BTW only the Kelly files is reporting that ISIS is in control of Baghdad suburbs and using it as base for car bombing and mortar attacks on Shia neighborhoods. If Baghdad falls or erupts into civil chaos, the we will have WWIII.

Do you think he could get some intel that others could not? Just wondering. Don’t listen to him and know the controversy with him, but he could be useful to a group I am in contact with.
