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:

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.
