Yeah I can see al Queda going over to fight ISIS and the commanders stopping for a second and sayin,Hey I know you! Hows it goin buddy? Long time no see then joining forces to fight America.
To: SeekAndFind
Yeah I’m not buying it eiher. They must think we’re as stupid as their own kind
To: maggief
Training and arming a bunch of radical Islamists with a history of attacking America. Do this just as the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world, Iran, is getting access to tens of billions of dollars to support worldwide terrorist operations. Hmm...
Yeah, great idea. What could possibly go wrong? ;-/

No wonder USA is going down.
Peanuts Carter wanted to arm radical Moehammedans in Afghanistan.
McCain and Bob dole wanted to arm Mooslims in Bosnia, while Slick was providing air cover.
We rush in to save Kuwait from Islamic invasion.
A few years after 9/11 Voters elect a Moehammedan president to show the world how tolerant and inclusive the USA is... and this guy supports Mooslum Brotherhood takeovers of other Mooselum countries.
Sometimes the enemy of my enemy is still my enemy.

It’s a really bad idea. So we’ll probably end up doing it.

Sadly, and he left our Marines exposed at the Beirut International Airport (The Beirut Barracks Bombing October 23, 1983 Lebanon).

Whatever terrorist organization we train and arm to do battle in our name will soon turn the training and arms against us and our friends - and that us a proven fact!!

For a genius general, this guy is stupid.
Al Qaeda is mostly Sunni, as is ISIS. If Al Qaeda got enough leverage, they’d use it to join forces with ISIS on decent terms. They certainly wouldn’t use it against ISIS.

Stupid.
Their disagreement is hierarchial and not ideological.
It’d be like openly enlisting Elizabeth Warren supporters to take down Bernie Sanders.
