Suspicions Run Deep in Iraq That C.I.A. and the Islamic State Are United
NY Times ^ | SEPT. 20, 2014 | DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK

Posted on 09/21/2014 2:44:41 PM PDT by McGruff

The United States has conducted an escalating campaign of deadly airstrikes against the extremists of the Islamic State for more than a month. But that appears to have done little to tamp down the conspiracy theories still circulating from the streets of Baghdad to the highest levels of Iraqi government that the C.I.A. is secretly behind the same extremists that it is now attacking.

Did anybody really think the Intel services of Russia or Iran wouldn't take advantage of this situation?

Putin must be laughing his butt off watching us waffle.

But keep in mind that Obama said he wasn’t done with Assad.....yet.

He’s destabilized almost the entire Middle East.

They were and are.
ISIS came from the al-qeada groups in Syria that Obama and McCain were supplying with weapons through Benghazi.
McCain was photographed at a meeting with the “Syrian resistance” who were comprised if the ISIS press guy, and several al-qeada.

Everyone knows that the CIA only gets in bed with “moderates.” It’s not like we would just sell arms to anyone.

I mean, you have to at least take the moderate oath: “ I pledge that these weapons will not be used in a hostile manner until such time that it can be disavowed by any CIA or State Department official. So help my dog.”.

All because Mullah Obola stomped his feet, held his breath and refused to leave a residual force in Iraq, mostly out of spite and disrespect for those who left everything on the battlefield. The entire JCS should resign.

We lived there (Saudi Arabia) for five years and KNOW that those folks have been fighting each other (tribal warfare) for as long as there have been folks over there. NOTHING NEW HERE.

My husband said that they don't think the way we do and their logic is NOTHING like ours. He was sure right, but then he was SO smart.

The bottom line is that they don't trust the lying muzzie bastard in the white hut. Given his wishy washy so-called "plan" I'm not surprised that they think he is in league with ISIS, and maybe he is. The French have done more to stop them than we have.

The worst possibilities that one could imagine, in connection with the Current Regime, that they are secretly in cahoots with ISIS, are not all that far-fetched. The blow-back on Benghazi, as the transfer point for arms that were destined for what today is identified as ISIS, tends to support this conspiracy theory.

If it is really happening, it is not a theory any more. And more and more, that seems to be the underlying motive and the explanation for seemingly bizarre actions.

None dare call it treason....

The Arab world is rife with conspiracy theories. They still believe every word of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is true...
