Saudi Arabia and the U.S. have created ISIS, albeit the U.S. has done so by default.
We have always tried to contain Iran for fear that they would institute something that looked like ISIS.
We are now in the Bazaar situation of needing to back Assad, as the most sane and least murderous winner.
If it weren’t for the plight of the Christians, I’d be happy to see them eat each other over the next 20 years feeding Assad just enough support to keep ISIS from winning.
“We are now in the bazaar....”
Friend, you might want to check your spelling. A bazaar is a type of open air market where one goes to buy goat eyeball pudding.
A bizzare place is something on the order of what Lewis Carroll wrote about in “Through the Looking Glass”.
Only passing this along for the good of the outfit, so to speak.
“Saudi Arabia and the U.S. have created ISIS, albeit the U.S. has done so by default.”
No, US has not created ISIS/Daesh. This youtube video is worth the time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MbRvqr34UM
Assad was already backed into a corner. He was going to deal. If we’d just left Qadaffy and Assad on the trajectory they were on and had the Obama/Clinton Administration simply signed the SFA that had already been negotiated (we held every military and air base in Iraq) there’d be none of this mess.
The guy who did that would have earned the Noble Peace Prize. Note bene: earned.
