Same with Los Zetas.
It sure would be nice if the government would spend less time training, funding and arming narco-terrorists and plain old terrorists like ISIS, and spend a little more time protecting us from them.

“The officials said the training was not meant to be used for any future campaign in Iraq.”

"The Jordanian officials said all ISIS members who received U.S. training to fight in Syria were first vetted for any links to extremist groups like al-Qaida."

Yep they were totally vetted by our FBI that "The Great ObamaNation" has ethnically cleansed of Jews and infiltrated with islamics.

ISIS in Iraq is a redo of the disastrous U.S. foreign policy that trained and supported the Taliban and Al Queda in Afghanistan in the 1980s. The idiotic and ignorant and/or treasonous CIA & State Department apparatus, egged on by so-called “friends” of the U.S. in the Middle East has ignorantly fumbled into supporting local agendas NOT in the U.S. long term interest, in the name of some temporary objective of the U.S. at a moment in time - “opposing” the Soviets/Assad, for instance.

It is NEVER true that every enemy of an opponent of ours is our friend or even worthy of our support. “Allies of convenience” should always be suspect and should be avoided particularly when no direct U.S. national interest is involved.

For which “friends” did we side with the Taliban and Al Queda in Afghanistan in the 1980s (who supplied more of the funds than we did)? Answer: The Saudis and some of the Gulf states. Ditto the “opposition to Assad” agenda.

In both cases it was Islamic and Islamist Sunni Muslim interests working on their own fundamentalist Sunni Islamist supremacy agenda vis-a-vis Shia Muslims.

What does that mean, that they were asked to check a box swearing that they are not affiliated with extremist groups?

Just like with Obamacare, just check a box that you are eligible and not an illegal?

Obama got sandbagged BIGTIME by the Syrian rebels. Obama gave them arms, money and training. They asked for more and more...and they got it. They stockpiled the arms and held back the best fighters, so they could knock down a berm and invade Iraq.

This all is NOT a story because, besides Obama, another progressive media darling named John McCain is fully complicit. The left wing media won’t criticize Obama; and, right wing media won’t criticize McCain.

Giant farse is what we’re watching.

How the bleep do we vet an inbred goat banging camel jockey? Ask his sister a few personal questions? Look in his saddle bag or coin purse? Ask around the casbah whether he cheats at camel pie hockey? See if he has more than one set of underwear? We’re expected to buy this cheapshixx on it’s face?

This should not come as a surprise to anyone. It is well documented that the USA armed trained and resupplied the 'freedom fighters" in Syria better known as terrorists in Iraq. What a difference a few miles make.

I'm not a big fan of Russia's Putin but he certainly nailed it here.

"One does not really need to support the people who not only kill their enemies, but open up their bodies, eat their intestines in front of the public and cameras," Putin said.

"Are these the people you want to support? Are they the ones you want to supply with weapons? Then this probably has little relation to the humanitarian values preached in Europe for hundreds of years."
