Iran, Al Qaeda affiliated group, the Al Nusra Front, attacks US trained rebels in Syria
The Obama Report ^ | 8/5/2015

Posted on 08/06/2015 8:37:56 AM PDT by Frankusa

On July 31, the New York Times reported that an American-trained, Syrian Rebel group, known as Division 30, came under intense attack from a hard-line, Al Qaeda affiliated group, known as the Al Nusra Front...

It is... significant to note that, according to a US Department of Treasury report issued last year, Al Nusra has received significant funding from "Al-Qaida’s network in Iran."

That's right: Iran. "Al-Qaida’s network in Iran."....

The Treasury Department noted in its report that... "Al-Qaida’s network in Iran has facilitated the transfer of funds... to al-Qaida core and other affiliated elements, including the al-Nusrah Front in Syria..."

I pointed out last year that Iran's ties to Al Qaeda and to the Iraqi and Afghan insurgency - the training and arming of the Afghan/Iraqi insurgents who killed countless US troops - has been well-documented. I cited several examples to illustrate this point....

It is also worthwhile to note that the Hill reported on Wednesday that the Obama administration just announced new sanctions targeting two individuals from Qatar. One of the individuals was targeted with sanctions because he provided funding to the Al Nusra Front...

Which leaves us with another mind-boggling question:

Why is the Obama administration placing sanctions on an individual for financing Al Nusra - al Qaeda’s Syria affiliate - and yet the administration is removing sanctions from Iran, despite its ties to Al Nusra, and despite the existence of an al Qaida network inside Iran that operates freely there "with the knowledge of Iranian authorities"?

Mind-boggling.

And yet, par for the course........

Was there not a 911 Atrocity?

Is there not a Constitution?

Are Oaths just “last Century”?

Is Treason now as American as ‘apple pie’?

US attacks Syria to support US backed rebels. Iran backed rebels attack US supported rebels. Iran supports Syria. Turkey kills US supported rebels and Kurds. Iraq under ISIS control. Syria coming under ISIS control. Libya coming under ISIS control. US gives bomb to Iran. Any country that goes after ISIS seems to get attacked by American backed forces.

US tries to oust Egyptian leaders. Sends over known communists to help religious overthrow. Fails. Not even trying to do it in Jordan. Tries to sabotage Israel elections. Also a fail. Egypt and Jordan have a strong partner in Israel

What is really happening in the middle east?

Tinfoil hat time. Who is ISIS? If they are Sunni, then the Saudis should be backing them. If they are Shiite, Iran should be backing them. No one is backing them yet no one is trying to kill them. Why?

ISIS is being backed. By the UN. Agenda 21. Side deals with Iran on their nukes. Christian and Jewish populations decimated without a peep.

I said this a long time ago. Islam is a tool of the communists to destroy the US, Israel and the west. ISIS is just a version of this on crack and led by the UN.

Biggest question here though is, if you had to have one person lead this effort, who would it be? That person would have to be pro-Islam, a communist, untouchable by the media, bulletproof against criticism and lead a revolution without firing a shot.

Anyone?
