From the first sudden, and quite dramatic, appearance of the fanatical Islamic group known as ISIS which was largely unheard of until a year ago, on the world's stage and which promptly replaced the worn out and tired al Qaeda as the world's terrorist bogeyman, we suggested that the "straight to beheading YouTube clip" purpose behind the Saudi Arabia-funded Islamic State was a simple one: use the Jihadists as the vehicle of choice to achieve a political goal: depose of Syria's president Assad, who for years has stood in the way of a critical Qatari natural gas pipeline, one which could dethrone Russia as Europe's dominant - and belligerent - source of energy, reaching an interim climax with the unsuccessful Mediterranean Sea military build up of 2013, which nearly resulted in quasi-world war.

But it's one thing to speculate; it's something entirely different to have hard proof.
And while speculation was rife that just like the CIA-funded al Qaeda had been used as a facade by the US to achieve its own geopolitical and national interests over the past two decades, so ISIS was nothing more than al Qaeda 2.0, there was no actual evidence of just this.
That may all have changed now when a declassified secret US government document obtained by the public interest law firm, Judicial Watch, shows that Western governments deliberately allied with al-Qaeda and other Islamist extremist groups to topple Syrian dictator Bashir al-Assad.

> McCain was demanding money for the “rebels” (Isis) and had his picture taken with them over there.
No, he wasn’t. And no, he didn’t. While it’s possible (but has never been actually been anything but a claim) that some joker jumped ship from the FSA faction he was pictured with, McCain did not demand money for ISIS, nor is ISIS the FSA.
It’s a commonplace lie around FR, and generally pushed by Paultards. Randtard himself made allegations about McCain while being interviewed in a friendly environment, The Daily Beast.
McCain was demanding money for the “rebels” (Isis) and had his picture taken with them over there. I’m no paultard, just a conservative who is not crazy about the McBackstabber nor his rebel heros in Syria, Isis.
Those defending McIdiot, even after he had his picture taken with Isis, are usually rinos or uniparty idiots. ; )
I need a pretty picture of outer space about now.
No, he wasn’t, but keep repeating it and making yourself look ridiculous. The rebels (why the quotes?) he met were from the FSA, and after the meeting the ISIS threatened to kill them. Since you’re not stating the truth about what Mccain did there, I’m not inclined to believe your tardation status. Since he didn’t have his photo taken with ISIS, your insult is just stupid, which isn’t that surprising.
You sure get mad easily.
Me, mad? Naw.
Wouldn’t you get mad if it were your job to defend McCain?
There’s absolutely nothing honorable about Hillary.
