The US didn’t create ISIS, but it did create Noam Chomsky by funding him and hoping that he had some useful insights into linguistics. Instead his only insight was into following up on the earlier work of his colleague Goebbels.
The appearance of ISIS and the general spread of radical jihadism is a fairly natural outgrowth of Washington wielding its sledgehammer at the fragile society of Iraq, which was barely hanging together after a decade of US-UK sanctions so onerous that the respected international diplomats who administered them via the UN both resigned in protest, charging that they were “genocidal.”
Apparently Jihadism was invented in 2003. Who knew?
Speaking of lies about genocide told by Chomsky, he dismissed eyewitness testimony as demonstrating “the extreme unreliability of refugee reports, and the need to treat them with great caution, a fact that we and others have discussed elsewhere… Specifically, refugees questioned by Westerners or Thais have a vested interest in reporting atrocities on the part of Cambodian revolutionaries, an obvious fact that no serious reporter will fail to take into account.”
What’s the difference between Chomsky and Goebbels? Clueless freshmen at Evergreen College usually don’t tote around collections of Goebbels’ essays.
Poor Noam,his days of “glory” are over.
No one cares what he thinks.
.
The truth is painful sometimes.
the freshmen are probably clueless as to who Goebbels was.
As much as I hate Noam Chomsky, he is right, the U.S. Did create ISIS to fight Assad but they turned south instead.
The truth is painful sometimes.
You are correct.
Ping.
Unngh!
The human bladder stone still lives!
The US created the power vacuum by toppling and/or attempting to topple leaders who kept their maniacs in check. We armed "rebels" to do our regime change fighting for us. They instead chose to fight for what they believe in. The US not only created ISIS, we armed and trained them, and created the power vacuum where they can thrive.
We're still on the wrong side.
Stopped clock. Blind pig. He might have a point this time.
At the very least, we seem to have armed it.
Thanks Hillary!.
He’s right.
ISIS is Hillary’s creation.
Noam, are you nuts...? Oh wait, you are a liberal so you are...
