On the front lines of the battle against the Islamic State, suspicion of the United States runs deep. Iraqi fighters say they have all seen the videos purportedly showing U.S. helicopters airdropping weapons to the militants, and many claim they have friends and relatives who have witnessed similar instances of collusion.
Ordinary people also have seen the videos, heard the stories and reached the same conclusion — one that might seem absurd to Americans but is widely believed among Iraqis — that the United States is supporting the Islamic State for a variety of pernicious reasons that have to do with asserting American control over Iraq, the wider Middle East and, perhaps, its oil.
“It is not in doubt,†said Mustafa Saadi, who says his friend saw U.S. helicopters delivering bottled water to Islamic State positions. He is a commander in one of the Shiite militias that last month helped push the militants out of the oil refinery near Baiji in northern Iraq alongside the Iraqi army.

So when is someone in the military gonna break ranks and expose this treachery?
I heard the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs gave testimony today that contradicted the CIC regarding ISIS...time to blow the lid off this thing!
Why did zer0 help Iran with the nuke program? Is he trying to start the final war?
They are probably right.
I don’t disagree with most of your sentiments, but it is unlikely we would do any better in Saudi Arabia than the crap hand we were dealt. What do we replace the high spending high life Royals with?
Options are pretty limited there. This was the mistake the administration they elected made for us and Bush did it in Iraq. If you are going to remove one you better know that the next one is friendly and better. If not, I think the results have spoken for themselves.
It gives the Saudis an excuse to get their own nukes.
The USA is not with ISIS but the traitor in the white hut is
Perfectly and honestly said -
you are correct.
Total takeover and reeducation like in Germany and Japan.
But that would take an army of millions.
Might have had the backing of the people right after 9/11. We had the wrong president at the wrong time.
An Eisenhower, Reagan, even the leftist FDR would have known what needed to be done.
He’s not my pResident ... he’s a usurper traitor that needs to be removed from office as quickly as possible .. in ANY way possible
The reason is pretty obvious - Saddam wasn’t the problem Iraq. The country is rotten to the core. The issue with Muslims isn’t that they have anti-American leaders - it’s that Muslims as a whole hate Americans.
The Iraqis are right.
Like Tattaglia, Saddam was a pimp. The Saudis are the "Barzini."
I use the word ‘Infiltrator’.
“heard the stories and reached the same conclusion  one that might seem absurd to Americans”
Not to this one...
YES!!!
The problem is all the presidents from Bush the first on KNEW the Sauds were Barzini all along, and they protected him.
Is Trump or Cruz our Michael Corleone? We’ll see.
I would love Putin to call out Obama as a supporter of ISIS. That’s all it would take to bring Obola down!
No, no, the U.S. delivers millions of dollars in supplies and weapons to the 'moderate, vetted opposition', who then turn around and hand them over to jihadists...
Personally, I'm a little miffed when I realize we borrowed the money to buy the 356 HMMWVs we are bragging to the world we've destroyed...
Gee, why would anyone believe that? Why, it’s a mystery!
He hates Western Civilization and yes, he wants a war so our way of life can be eliminated.
The whole world knows Obama is a Sunni Muslim, but, for some reason, the American people fail see it.
