ISIS fighter was trained by State Department
CNN ^ | 5/30/15 | Dugald McConnell and Brian Todd

An ISIS fighter who calls for jihad in a new online video was trained in counterterrorism tactics on American soil, in a program run by the United States, officials tell CNN.

The video features a former police commander from Tajikistan named Col. Gulmurod Khalimov. He appears in black ISIS garb with a sniper rifle and a bandolier of ammunition. He says in the video that he participated in programs on U.S. soil three times, at least one of which was in Louisiana.

The State Department has confirmed this claim.

You have to ask, “What were they thinking?” NEVER, EVER give your tactics away!!

What kind of dummies were doing this in 2003? And they probably are still doing it! I wish I thought this might wake up the State Dept, CIA, etc, but I don’t it will. It will be more of the same until there is nothing left.

Seems getting a few drones airborne might be a good way to solve that problem before the ass hat comes on our soil to do his dirty work. “Kill or be killed”.

“From 2003-2014 Colonel Khalimov participated in five counterterrorism training courses in the United States and in Tajikistan, through the Department of State's Diplomatic Security/Anti-Terrorism Assistance program,” said spokeswoman Pooja Jhunjhunwala.

The program is intended to train candidates from participating countries in the latest counterterrorism tactics, so they can fight the very kind of militants that Khalimov has now joined.

Do you really expect the government to do anything right? That naïve?

Impossible. Once they come to the United States and see the beauty of Liberal governance, they are changed forever to become peace loving eunuchs.

And of course, no question, we should ask our young military people to go over there and lay down their lives by fighting people we armed AND TRAINED.

Yes, that’s fair to our military, yes sirree

Why did we invite the Ruskies to these training exercises, again? Especially knowing that some of them are ROP proselytes?

I have no idea. But they put this video out well before the truth was admitted about ISIS.

Truthers intentionally leave out information to make their point. It's deceptive.

in other words I can't trust what they say.

Especially when you find out years later it turned out to be true!
