U.S. Defense Intel Chief: Obama Gave “Willful” Aid to Al-Qaeda

Despite warnings about the consequences from senior U.S. officials, the Obama administration made a “willful decision” to support al-Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, and other jihadist terror groups in Syria, according to former Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) chief Michael Flynn (shown). That deliberate aid to Islamic terrorists battling Syrian dictator Bashar al Assad played a crucial role in the rise of the "Islamic State” (ISIS or ISIL). While multiple top U.S. officials have already admitted that Obama’s so-called anti-ISIS coalition helped create, arm, and fund ISIS, Flynn is the highest-ranking administration official to publicly discuss the U.S. role in spawning the savage terror group now slaughtering Christians and other minorities across the Middle East. Almost incredibly, the establishment press and Congress have largely ignored the explosive revelations — even as the White House steps up its military aid to jihadist “rebels” in Syria with air support and training.

Flynn was not shy about admitting what by now is almost common knowledge — the Obama administration supported Islamic terrorists, including al-Qaeda, in the rebellion against the Syrian regime. “I don’t know that they turned a blind eye, I think it was a decision,” the former DIA chief said. “I think it was a willful decision.” The interviewer, Mehdi Hasan, sounding surprised at the frankness and the enormity of the revelation, said: “A willful decision to support an insurgency that had Salafists, Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood?” Flynn replied: “It was a willful decision to do what they’re doing.” What “they” — the administration — are doing, and have been doing, is supporting barbarians who are butchering their way through Iraq and Syria while overthrowing “apostate” rulers and slaughtering or enslaving non-Sunnis.

TREASON! Is this the “smoking gun”?

(Even if it is, I know Barry is untouchable because ‘racism!!!’

But there is no reason for any of us to think that dear reader is a closet muslim.

And then there's this from Mosul, Iraq 2014.

Is there anything, anything, that an overt moslem would have done differently?

[skeeter]

At what point will the perfumed princes call it treason?

Guilty, enjoy your last cigarette fruitcake. line him up against the wall.

TREASON. Reason to Impeach if we had an opposition party running the Congress, but alas America is now ruled by a King supported by a uniparty.

[SandRat]

Try ‘O for Treason NOW!

I simply don’t know and it boggles the mind. A republican president would have been impeached by now.

Our hard earned tax dollars are funding ISIS, the most vile, disgusting barbarians the planet has ever seen. How this is not on the news 24/7, I will never understand.

[longfellow]

Maybe jon liebowitz stewart will finally admit that the pos is a muslim.

Next Inauguration. The new president takes the oath of office, and begins his inaugural address, “Mr Obama, you are under arrest for giving material support to terrorism. My fellow Americans...”

[Brad from Tennessee]

Obama has his legacy.

Can we get a transcript of Flynn’s comments?

There are a lot of improperly sourced allegations regarding whom we support and how in Syria. When the actual facts are reviewed every time the source of the allegation said nothing of the kind. This is really bad for credibility of these news organizations.

Just from reading the above synopsis I can tell this is one of those cases. The storyline is developed from stringing together a bunch of dissimilar information regarding several different factions, alliances and support to make an argument and scream “ISIS”. Some of it is really, and I mean really ignorant of the facts.

Reading and comprehending the following link will do much to dispel the guile of these articles:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_opposition

The most I can say is when things started people chose sides in a many-sided conflict which ultimately was untenable.

As far as ISIS goes we have never not opposed them. They were AQ in Iraq 04 - 09 at which time they were defeated. In ‘11 they moved into Syria to take advantage of uncontrolled areas due to the civil war for a safe-haven to launch attacks back into Iraq, culminating in their 2014 offensive.

As far as the discourse on these subjects goes it’s very tiresome. It’s akin to engaging in a late-night argument with drunken locals at a park or camp ground.

Yeah well we kinda figured that out 3 to 4 years ago. Thanks for the confirmation.

I wonder how the families of American lost on September 11th, 2001 feel about this. Or the families of our fighting men and women lost in the ME. If the son of a bitch isn’t in irons already over this he never will be. The spineless worms populating the District of Corruption are too busy trying to figure out more ways to screw the average American.
