Barack Obama BLOCKS SUPPORT to Kurds to Fight ISIS
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 07/01/15 | Jim Hoft

Evil has a friend… Barack Obama blocks support to the Kurds to fight the Islamic State.

** It’s bad enough that he pulled US troops from Iraq. ** It’s bad enough he created the vacuum that allowed ISIS to flourish. ** It’s bad enough he is unable to comprehend true evil. ** It’s bad enough he lacks the will and courage to battle evil.

But now he won’t support the people who are battling ISIS on the ground. Telegraph UK reported:

The United States has blocked attempts by its Middle East allies to fly heavy weapons directly to the Kurds fighting Islamic State jihadists in Iraq, The Telegraph has learnt.

Some of America’s closest allies say President Barack Obama and other Western leaders, including David Cameron, are failing to show strategic leadership over the world’s gravest security crisis for decades.

They now say they are willing to “go it alone” in supplying heavy weapons to the Kurds, even if means defying the Iraqi authorities and their American backers, who demand all weapons be channelled through Baghdad.

High level officials from Gulf and other states have told this newspaper that all attempts to persuade Mr Obama of the need to arm the Kurds directly as part of more vigorous plans to take on Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) have failed. The Senate voted down one attempt by supporters of the Kurdish cause last month.

The officials say they are looking at new ways to take the fight to Isil without seeking US approval.

The good news is the Arabs will have to break free from US/UK control over the Middle East and make their own policy and military decisions

The bad news is the Arabs will have to break free from US/UK control over the Middle East and make their own policy and military decisions

It appears to me that Obama has been supporting the most radical muslim extremelists for a very long time. He sabotauged the "arab spring," refusing to support the "green recolution" in Iran, and now doing all his can to make a deal that will guarantee they'll have a nuke in a relatively short time. He supported the muuslim brotherhood every chance he had.

And worst of all, it seems that he's blocking those who could actually be successful against isis, while actually arming isis, by sending arms to those who immediately drop them and run away.

Maybe because he wants ISIS to succeed, a worldwide caliphate declared and the rise of the 12th Imam (AntiChrist) to occur

> That photo show a muzzie using an American Colt Sporter type AR-15 - not even a heavy barrel M-16. Where did he get it? From Hillary and Obama running guns through Libya?

You make a good point which makes one think about where ISIS is getting their weapons. Hmmn...

Never let it be said Obama does not have the courage or willingness to fight evil, even though it is the bitter truth.
It is much better to recognise that he simply refuses to fight his spiritual brethren.

Obama merely seeks to “fundamentally change” the middle east, just as he has done with the U. S.

It’s not he doesn’t lack the will and courage to fight what HE perceives as evil. He just doesn’t see ISIS as evil.

Now Christians, that’s another story. Especially if they are white.

Wake up, folks. ISIS is doing the globalists' bidding. They want WW3 in the Middle East.

Why do you think ISIS is butchering adults and children in the most vile, excruciating, public manner like some horror movie monster?

Answer: To outrage the American people so we will eventually support an all-out war across the Middle East to wipe out the horrible scourge of ISIS that we created.

You are being played like a Stradivarius.

“It’s bad enough he is unable to comprehend true evil”

Why do people refuse to accept reality?

Obama is afraid the the Kurds would create more Chaos in the mid east. They would be center stage, and that would not make Iraq, Iran and Turkey happy since they all have Kurds in their borders and fear an uprising if the Kurds are given heavy weapons. The key is control of the Kurds. Of course the Kurds see it differently, its their chance to have complete autonomy as Kurdistan. Its bad because no mater how you deal with it, you are still juggling with bombs.

EVERYTHING obama does either:
a) Weakens America/Americans
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Serves Islam
e) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
There are NO counter examples.

My fear is that Russia has all of the info about how much we are supporting ISIS, and will reveal it at the U.N. when the time is most opportune to them. It will be shocking to everyone, even to us. Our troops will then be run out of every corner of the planet by friend and foe alike, and Americans overseas will be attacked by mobs.

He also wants to stay on good terms with Turkey... which would NOT like properly armed Kurds in the ME equation.

In a just world we would have split Iraq along ethnic lines and given Turkey a Kurdistan on their border to reward them for their last minute back stab denying our troops access through Turkey.

The troops aren’t using them, so they are not captured weapons, and muzzies aren’t walking in to Cabela’s and clearing a background check, so the only remaining option is that someone provided them. WHO?
