Ex-US Intelligence Officials Confirm: Secret Pentagon Report Proves US Complicity In Creation
Zero Hedge ^ | 6/8/15 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 06/08/2015 5:52:59 PM PDT by Nachum

Two weeks ago, courtesy of the investigative work of Nafeez Ahmed whose deep dig through a recently declassified and formertly Pentagon documents released earlier by Judicial Watch FOIA, we learned that Western governments deliberately allied with al-Qaeda and other Islamist extremist groups to topple Syrian dictator Bashir al-Assad. In his words: "According to the newly declassified US document, the Pentagon foresaw the likely rise of the ‘Islamic State’ as a direct consequence of the strategy, but described this outcome as a strategic opportunity to “isolate the Syrian regime.”

Now, in a follow up piece to his stunning original investigative report titled "Secret Pentagon report reveals West saw ISIS as strategic asset Anti-ISIS coalition knowingly sponsored violent extremists to ‘isolate’ Assad, rollback ‘Shia expansion", Nafeez Ahmed reveals that according to leading American and British intelligence experts, the previously declassified Pentagon report confirms that the West accelerated support to extremist rebels in Syria, despite knowing full well the strategy would pave the way for the emergence of the ‘Islamic State’ (ISIS).

The experts who have spoken out include renowned government whistleblowers such as the Pentagon’s Daniel Ellsberg, the NSA’s Thomas Drake, and the FBI’s Coleen Rowley, among others.

Their remarks demonstrate the fraudulent nature of claims by two other former officials, the CIA’s Michael Morell and the NSA’s John Schindler, both of whom attempt to absolve the Obama administration of responsibility for the policy failures exposed by the DIA documents.

This is Nafeez Ahmed's follow up story, originally posted in Medium

It also proves why our Sunni Muslim president has been totally ineffective against his fellow Sunni Muslims. His much acclaimed “10,000” ISIS combatants killed hasn’t washed with his own military lackeys .... 1,000 killed if they didn’t heed the advance notice of air attacks.

Conspiracy theory alert: Connect the dots, and the path goes through Benghazi and involves McCain's buddies in Syria. And Romney was given good reasons to shut up about it. And Obama didn't disintegrate ISIS when he could because of some incomprehensible deep-seated hatred of Assad or because he bows to his Saudi masters.

Ohmygod

Arming al Qaeda.
Using the IRS against Americans.
Secret Trade Agreements.

How can it be that NO ONE sees anything wrong?

America would be safer with a monkey
running the Pentagon and Congress.

Yep, Hussein and his junior partners Juan & Linda love it when a plan comes to fruition. I fear that the war of the Islamists in Syria is at a tipping point and ISIS may be poised for some sort of victory. This all thanks to Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood infiltrated regime and their progressive handmaidens.

This is all pretty obvious. And Tyler Durden is the kind of guy to report it. But needless to say, the MSM will assiduously avoid mentioning that Obama is a Muslim fanatic who hates the United States and everything it stands for.

So most people will never hear about it. Or if they do, they’ll just assume it was a natural mistake.

I have never understood the sudden change of heart that America and other Western nations had for Assad.

Clearly, he was not elected, and he used domestic repression to stay in power.

And, he supported a tyrannical, Israel-hating Hezbollah government in southern Lebanon.

But he was not overtly threatening to Israel, and, on a personal level, he was no more evil than anybody else in that part of the world.

When the West encouraged rebellion against Assad, what did they think would happen?

Assad fought, and continues to fight, for his life, and millions of Syrian citizens have become refugees or victims of violence and economic chaos.

I still don’t get it.

Back to the thread.

From #6:

Conspiracy theory alert: Connect the dots, and the path goes through Benghazi and involves McCain's buddies in Syria. - And Romney was given good reasons to shut up about it. - And Obama didn't disintegrate ISIS when he could because of some incomprehensible deep-seated hatred of Assad - or because he bows to his Saudi masters.

Thanks, Wildhighlander57.

Our Muslim Brotherhood President didn’t do it himself. Everyone who helped him is a traitor and should be hanged.
