Presidential candidate Rick Santorum has issued a bombshell statement about ISIS, claiming that the USA created the terror group and are thus ultimately responsible for the Paris attacks.
Speaking at a GOP meeting on Saturday, Santorum said that President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are directly responsible for the creation of ISIS/ISIL.
He said that the terrorist group "is a creation of a political decision by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to abandon Iraq -- against all of our generals' recommendations, against all of the policy recommendations."
"Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, under her watch, decided politics above the security of our country and the stability and security of the world," said Santorum, who served as a senator representing Pennsylvania from 1995 to 2007.
ISIL terrorists, who were initially trained by the CIA in Jordan in 2012 to destabilize the Syrian government, now control parts of Syria and Iraq. They have been engaged in crimes against humanity in the areas under their control.
The United States and its allies have been conducting airstrikes against ISIL in Iraq and Syria since last year.
Observers say while the US and its allies claim they are fighting against terrorist groups like ISIL, they in fact helped create and train those organizations to affect their policies in the Middle East.
According to US geopolitical commentator Dean Henderson, the United States and its allies have encouraged the spread of the ISIL terrorist group in the Middle East to create a "perpetual war" in the region and advance the American military-industrial complex.
"This is what ISIS is all about, this is the reason that ISIS exists, because we're going to be able to make a lot more arms sales to a lot more actors in the Middle East," said Dean Henderson

Exactly. Look at smirk on that pig’s face. “Just be nice for a while and this senile old bastard will give me 700 million to kill him. Aloha Snackbar!”
Finally, someone said the truth.
McCain didn’t learn a dang thing from Nam.
In the context of the vacuum in Iraq brought about the rise of ISIS, I agree with him.
In the context of “where were the Libyan weapons being sent?” I think they ended up in the hands of Syrian rebels who dropped them an ran.
I think it is OK if you can tie these together.
Most people are not going to want to hear this.
They have run out of money.
The BIG money is ending up in ISIL hands because they are taking action.
Al Qaeda will have to do something “big” in order to get back on top. They are the “O.G” of the terrorists.
And on top of leaving Iraq, the Obama enabled Arab Spring destabilized much of the territory ISIS now operates in. In short, the US has switched sides. We now enable radical islamic terrorism.
Sorry I strongly disagree.
ISIS/ISIL is and was created by our State Department.
We’ve been training and arming them now for about 7 years. When the Muslim Brotherhood failed in Egypt after the Arab Spring, a new iteration was needed to advance the 0bama policy and vision of the world.
Jeb was asked this morning how he would fight ISIS. He said he would create no-fly zones. Nobody followed up on this point and ask what that would accomplish since ISIS does not have an air force.
spooky but accurate
Not a Santorum fan, but the headline is BULLSNOT!!
He didn’t say “US created ISIS,” he said OBAMA and CLINTON created ISIS!!!
And he is CORRECT!!
The radical left climbed into bed with muslim terrorist as far back as 1991, possibly even earlier, with the planning of the 1st WTC bombing.
It’s not just a coincidence the dems pushed and pushed to get Bush to send troops into Somalia then after the 1st WTC bombing the spin out of the dems and their allies in the MSM was the attack was a “spontaneous” response to Bush sending troops into Somalia.
It wasn’t a coincidence than and it’s not a coincidence now that the dems always have the right talking points in place before terrorist attacks to create the spin in the news after the attacks..
Bombshell?
Hardly.
That notion has been around for many months.
Wow, Rick is telling it like it is! Maybe he’ll get to 0.05% in the polls now! /s
He’s right.
I NEED HELP.....OUR LOCAL CONSERVATIVE RADIO STATION HEARD FROM ME THIS MORNIN
KFYI AM 550 would not, repeat , WOULD NOT allow me on air to ask the radio station wby they defend McLettuce about the Fact he helped ISIS and how McLettuce teamed with Carl Levin use Lois Lerner to attack tea party folk
No question about it.
“Not a bombshell. Just the truth.”
He is right. He has probably been reading Free Republic for the last year or so.
He didn't do it alone. No way.

This guy agree (via MEMRI).
“Speaking on the Egyptian Al-Hayat TV channel on November 14, following the Paris attacks, Egyptian cleric Sheikh Khaled Elgendy, the owner of Al-Azhari TV, said that ISIS was created by the West and that the advanced weapons of the perpetrators of the attacks proved that they were trained by the West.
Following are excerpts:
Khaled Elgendi: “I’d like to extend my sincerest condolences to France for the tragedy that it suffered.”
Interviewer: “Of course.”
Khaled Elgendi: “The whole world has suffered...”
Interviewer: “Yes, the death of innocent people...”
Khaled Elgendi: “The worst thing about all this is that some people try to link Islam to this terrorist conduct. We pray that Allah give them some reason and perspective, and that they realize the extent of the danger about which reasonable people in our country have warned. The president has also warned of this.
“The problem is that some people believe that terrorism can be contained through niceties. This is a very harsh lesson. Anyone who keeps a snake is bound to be bitten by it.”
That last is the key point - too bad that most of Europe’s politicians, let alone ours, don’t seem to grasp.
Obama supported the Muslim Brotherhood taking over Egypt. He’s in with the terrorists.
