Blowback! U.S. trained Islamists who joined ISIS.
WND ^ | 06/17/2014 | Aaron Klein

Secret Jordan base was site of covert aid to insurgents.. .the fighters trained in Jordan became members of the ISIS after their training.

Syrian rebels who would later join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIS, were trained in 2012 by U.S. instructors working at a secret base in Jordan, according to informed Jordanian officials.

The officials said dozens of future ISIS members were trained at the time as part of covert aid to the insurgents targeting the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Syria. The officials said the training was not meant to be used for any future campaign in Iraq.

...

according to a Shiite source in contact with a high official in the government of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, the Obama administration has been aware for two months that the al-Qaida-inspired group that has taken over two Iraqi cities and now is threatening Baghdad also was training fighters in Turkey.

The source told WND that at least one of the training camps of the group Iraq of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Syria, the ISIS, is in the vicinity of Incirlik Air Base near Adana, Turkey, where American personnel and equipment are located.

He called Obama “an accomplice” in the attacks that are threatening the Maliki government the U.S. helped establish through the Iraq war.

The source said that after training in Turkey, thousands of ISIS fighters went to Iraq by way of Syria to join the effort to establish an Islamic caliphate subject to strict Islamic law, or Shariah.

Islamists = BAD. Not sure why that is so hard to understand. Even the Bush Administration had trouble with that concept.

Of course, that assumes that this Administration doesn’t secretly want the Islamists to win. The jury is still out on that one.

this is what I long suspected. Middle East burning up was the direct result of obama policy there. DEM like to blame Bush 6 years ago, but everything started falling apart only recently. Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iraq. Obama sided with the jihadist in every country

We have gone from fighting Al Qaeda to training, arming, and backing them.

We have gone from fighting them to knocking over governments and installing Muslim Brotherhood in power.

Its the greatest judo move I can think of in history. Seven years after they knock over the Twin Towers they captured the White House.

Anyone who is a member of that violent death cult must be expelled from the USA now.

Here’s the map: http://www.eventseye.com/maps/map-king-abdullah-ii-air-base-5404-1.html

Blackwater USA/Worldwide trained the Jordanian King’s bodyguards - but we didn’t train others, as in the case of this article. Those contracts were held by someone else that I know of...

Again, there is a large objective that Sunni or Shia Islamist have - and it is not peace with others, but submission and control.

The whole thing really is fascinating, when you think about it. What was going on in his mind when they attacked Pearl Harbor other than “I hope to he!! this works or we’re in deep doo doo.”

Obama’s take is that we’re learning how to vet the responsible Muslims. It’s a process. /S

I’ve often read that the Zero design was stolen from a Howard Hughes design.

Personally, I think he KNEW it was unwinnable. I suspect he thought their only hope was that we just didn’t have the stomach for war after Pearl Harbor and would just let them mostly have their way in the far east.

What a surprise... not. We continue to stir the hornet’s nest in the middle east, rattling our sabres and making empty threats. But, all the while, we’re providing weapons and training to our supposed enemies! Gee, why would we do that? Could it be to foment World War 3? Wouldn’t a third world war motivate the world to create a real one-world government so these kinds of terrible wars never happen again? And wouldn’t this give the elites what they’ve always wanted - total control? Well, duh.
