For the better part of a year, Turkey remained on the sidelines in the "fight" against ISIS.
Then, on July 20, a powerful explosion ripped through the town of Suruc. 33 people were killed including a number of Socialist Party of the Oppressed (ESP) and Socialist Youth Associations Federation (SGDF) members who planned to assist in the rebuilding of Kobani.
The attack was promptly attributed to Islamic State who took "credit" for the tragedy the next day.
To be sure, the attack came at a rather convenient time for President Tayyip Erdogan. A little over a month earlier, the ruling AKP party lost its absolute parliamentary majority in part due to a strong showing at the ballot box for the pro-Kurdish (and PKK-aligned) HDP. What happened in the wake of the Suruc bombing was nothing short of a largely successful attempt on Erdogan's part to use fear and violence to scare the electorate into restoring AKP's dominance in snap elections that took place earlier this month.

General Dempsey replied:
"I know major Arab allies who fund them."
In other words, the most senior US military official at the time had confirmed that ISIS was being funded by the very same "major Arab allies" that had just joined the US-led anti-ISIS coalition.
These allies include Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, and Kuwait in particular.

Porous links between some Free Syrian Army (FSA) rebels, Islamist militant groups like al-Nusra, Ahrar al-Sham and ISIS, have enabled prolific weapons transfers from ‘moderate’ to Islamist militants.
The consistent transfers of CIA-Gulf-Turkish arms supplies to ISIS have been documented through analysis of weapons serial numbers by the UK-based Conflict Armament Research (CAR), whose database on the illicit weapons trade is funded by the EU and Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs.

ISIS, in other words, is state-sponsored?-?indeed, sponsored by purportedly Western-friendly regimes in the Muslim world, who are integral to the anti-ISIS coalition.
Which then begs the question as to why Hollande and other Western leaders expressing their determination to "destroy" ISIS using all means necessary, would prefer to avoid the most significant factor of all: the material infrastructure of ISIS' emergence in the context of ongoing Gulf and Turkish state support for Islamist militancy in the region.
It is bad.
When Obama and Clinton initiated the “Arab Spring”, they were already getting support to rebels, including ISIS.
That support continued while they were funneling arms to rebels out of Libya through Benghazi. The panic and misdirection immediately after the attack on the Ambassador was to try and hide the support of Al Qaeda and ISIS the US was giving.
Obama and Clinton took down the Egyptian and Libyan presidents, and tried to take down Assad. They were trying to replace all 3 of them with Muslim brotherhood linked candidates.
The main stream media will N*E*V*E*R report on this because it reveals the complete hypocrisy of the Democrats.
I mention them because that is what they are doing in Syria.
Iran is doing it in Iraq.
We want them gone, but they don't..They use them as tools. They use each other.
It's all deception.
Erdogan is an Islamist.
He says that “there is no such thing as radical Islam. There is just Islam.”
What a nightmare the Obama presidency has been for America. Thanks to him, we’re now on the side of rape and murder Jihad Nazi war criminals. “Moderate” rebels is another Obama lie.
” trying to replace all 3 of them with Muslim brotherhood linked candidates”
The MB is a terrorist group.
Aren’t there MB operatives in the White House now?
I have been saying this for months. It’s all about the petro-dollar.
We all instinctively knew this the moment we saw miles long convoys on the open desert, carefree, celebrating. Well equipped in new clothes, shoes, balaclavas, tactical vests, etc,, and not a single air attack happened.
THAT was the only proof I needed that this was all happening with the complete approval of western and Sunni leaders.

Until you comprehend the end goal of power is to empower and enrich your team, you will be blind to the corruption in your team. Bush saved Kuwait and Saudi Arabia from Saddam Hussein's ambitions. These are the bastards providing corruption money to make our leaders act insane. The one exception is Obama. He doesn't need corruption money. He is the enemy.
Not even close. No one..no one cares about “Petro Dollars.”
Isis is CIA.
lets not forget the reason for this is are president is a Shia Muslim....for the last 7 years his policy has been to take power away from Sunni Muslims and to give it to Shia Muslims. the president has taken sides in religious in fighting of the Muslim religion.
this is only my uneducated opinion on the mater.
No one except the USA, everybody with a stake in western capitalism and Saudia Arabia.
Oh no, not Shi’ia...Obama’s dog is named Suni.
and Vladmir Putin and Iran of course.
Obama should do the right thing and resign. And if he doesn’t, our Congressional Representatives should take turns at the podium calling for his resignation.
Not even close. Obama+CIA is pursuing a cheap oil strategy, the opposite of a “Petro Dollar” strategy.
Saudi royals are bankrupt in 18 months at current cash burn rates and oil prices...overthrowing yet another dictatorship as part of Obama+CIA’s “Arab Spring” that has already ousted Mubarak from Egypt, Yemen’s pro USA President, Ghadafy from Libya, and darned near got Assad out of Syria.
Your’re wrong. Putin is threatening the petro dollar arrangment which remains a key pillar of western capitalism and American dominance. The cheap oil is also a coordinated US/SA attack on Putin.
