We have been lied to by the Feds and the MSM for so long that when the truth comes along, it’s inconceivable.
The American public has mass Stockhom syndrome. The people are like the Sabine women raped by the early Romans who now defend their captors when their rescuers try to liberate them.
I know it’s difficult for many to accept that they have been fooled. Normalcy bias, tradition, sentimentality and cognitive dissonance are difficult to overcome especially on an auspicious holiday weekend like Memorial Day.
Our federal government is run by evil men who do not follow the constitution and do not have the people’s interest at heart.
The only way things will change is if we first recognize the real enemy.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the “official” cover story. Hussein still has to make some justification (no matter how preposterous) to get people to do what he wants. Bottom line... Obama used our military to get Qaddafi and Mubarak out of the way of the Caliphate and then set his sights on Syria. This was just a means to an end.

About the photo:

On May 27, 2013, McCain slipped across the Turkish border to spend a few hours in Syria with members of the Free Syrian Army. Mouaz Moustafa, executive director of the Syrian Emergency Task Force, who helped arrange the visit and was with McCain, said many soldiers were members or commanders of the Northern Storm brigade, which serves under the army’s Supreme Military Council. One man was Gen. Salim Idriss, who at the time was chief of staff of the Supreme Military Council.

“These guys, the Northern Storm brigade, are bitter enemies of ISIS,” Moustafa said, in part because they were so effective. As a result of the photos of the fighters with McCain, ISIS declared that “everyone in this picture needs their head chopped off,” he said. “After the meeting, many of the Northern Storm were completely killed by ISIS.”

In October, Reuters reported on an audio message from the Islamic State, which “accused the Northern Storm brigade of ‘opening a front’ against them in the Azaz area and of conspiring with ‘the American pig, John McCain’ to fight against the Islamists.”

Moustafa said his own movements in the country were curtailed because of fears that guards at checkpoints would have copies of the photographs. “It is just ridiculous to me that a U.S. senator would pick this up,” Moustafa said.

As for the resemblance, all them damn Arabs look alike. Some circles over their faces doesn’t confirm they are these people.

Why would WAPO protect McCain? The Left was bashing McCain at the same time.

You got proof that guy was actually the Caliph of ISIS, post it.

Why don’t you do a little research and read who exactly the “Free Syrian Army” turned out to be. Along with all the other ‘brigades’ and whatever they called themselves before they were “ISIS”.

I mean since it’s been known and discussed here and across the net for months now.

Lastly, I don’t know. Why don’t you tell me why WAPO would protect an America hating bastard?

To understand the enemy agent in the white hut, just reflect on why there was no air attack on ISIS in Ramadi, as they paraded down the main corridor of said city in victory posture.

No squadron or wing of AC-130 Spectres. No squadron or wing of A-10 Thunderbolts . No squadron or wing of B-52s. No squadron or wing of MQ-1 Predators or MQ-9 Reapers. Complete capitulation.

About the FSA: "The Free Syrian Army (Arabic: الجيش السوري الحر‎, al-Jaysh as-Sūrī al-Ḥurr, FSA) is a group of defected Syrian Armed Forces officers and soldiers,[15][16] founded during the Syrian Civil War on 29 July 2011[17] by five[16] or seven defected Syrian officers.[17][18] The group defined "all [Syrian] security forces attacking civilians" as their enemies,[17][18] and said its goal to be "to bring down the system"[17] or "to bring this regime down".[16] On 23 September 2011, the Free Syrian Army merged with the Free Officers Movement (Arabic: حركة الضباط الأحرار‎, Ḥarakat aḑ-Ḑubbāṭ al-Aḥrār); Western observers like The Wall Street Journal considered the FSA since then the main military defectors group.[19][20][21] 90% of the FSA consists of Sunni Muslims,[22] but a small minority are (Shia) Alawites[22] and some Druze fought in FSA units. About 15% of FSA units are Kurds.[23] some FSA units are led by Druze.[24] As for further ethnic minorities, a Palestinian rebel commander in the Yarmouk enclave in southern Damascus in 2012 considered his rebel brigade to be part of FSA.[25] The FSA coordinated with the Syrian National Council starting in December 2011,[26] and supported the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces after the coalition's November 2012 creation.[27] Between July 2012 and July 2013, ill-discipline and infighting weakened FSA, while jihadist groups entered northern Syria and became more effective than FSA.[28] In April 2013, the US promised $123 million aid to rebels, to be funneled through the then leader of the FSA, Salim Idriss.[29] Since February 2014, Abdul-Ilah al-Bashir is the appointed Chief of Staff and leader of the FSA.[2] A coalition of moderate Muslim rebel groups fighting under the Supreme Military Council of Syria, which includes the FSA, on 25 September 2014 allied with a predominantly Christian coalition called Syriac Military Council, to unite their fight against the Assad government and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).[8] At the outset of the civil war, the FSA operated throughout Syria, both in urban areas and in the countryside,[30] in the northwest (Idlib, Aleppo), the central region (Homs, Hama, Al-Rastan), the coast around Latakia, the south (Daraa and Houran), the east (Dayr al-Zawr, Abu Kamal), and the Damascus area, with their largest concentration of forces, nine battalions or more, in Homs, Hama and surrounding areas.[31][32] By November 2014, a growing coalition of 58 US-backed groups, the Southern Front of the Free Syrian Army, was gaining territory south of Damascus in southern Syria.[33][34] In addition to its stronghold in the south, the FSA is active in pockets of Aleppo,[35] takes part in the ongoing offensives in Idlib,[36] and is aligned with the YPG in the defence of and ongoing combat near Kobanî.[37]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Syrian_Army If the FSA is secretly Al-Qaeda or ISIS, I'm not seeing it.

Whoops, thought I could get away without having to put the code in for paragraph breaks. Guess not:

About the FSA:

"The Free Syrian Army (Arabic: الجيش السوري الحر‎, al-Jaysh as-Sūrī al-Ḥurr, FSA) is a group of defected Syrian Armed Forces officers and soldiers,[15][16] founded during the Syrian Civil War on 29 July 2011[17] by five[16] or seven defected Syrian officers.[17][18] The group defined "all [Syrian] security forces attacking civilians" as their enemies,[17][18] and said its goal to be "to bring down the system"[17] or "to bring this regime down".[16]

Because Obama is a traitor and a weakling. Not because the CIA is in direct control of ISIS.

Obama’s a coward. I agree. That doesn’t make ISIS a CIA creation.

If they couldn’t even keep Benghazi a secret, does anyone really think they could keep the creation of ISIS under wraps?

The POTUS can influence world events- by participation, and- by lack of participation.
