In a particularly fiery commentary Monday night, Glenn Beck charged the United States government with "harnessing" the Islamic State for its own gain.
"The president prefers ISIS contained. Why?" the show host asked on The Glenn Beck Program. "Because they are a pawn in their own documents for him to get what he wants: Assad out and to have a proxy war with Iran and Russia. It is shocking, it is infuriating, it is damn near criminal, but it is the truth according to their own documents."
The documents Beck was referencing is a recently released Department of Defense document from 2012, around the same time as the attacks in Benghazi, and the host says it backs up his claim that U.S. foreign policy "supports ISIS," which he describes as "quite a charge."
Beck went on to outline three specific "goals" from the document.
"Development of the current events into a proxy war: with support from Russia, China, and Iran, the regime is controlling the areas of influence," Beck read from the declassified document.
According to Beck, the "current events" is referring to the Arab Spring and the Syrian Civil War, which he believes developed into a proxy war "with Russia and Iran siding with [Syrian President Bashar al-]Assad against the West," which he believes was President Barack Obama's goal.
The document then references "opposition forces" seeking to control the eastern areas of Iraq. Beck posited that those opposing forces have since developed into the Islamic State.
"What was [Obama administration's] plan? Not to defeat [the Islamic State], to harness it, and use them for regime change," Beck charged. "We supported their efforts -- our foreign policy was actually to support and harness ISIS in order to get what we wanted, which was to get Assad out."
Beck then said that politicians and voters on the left who claim the U.S. "gets involved in other people's crap" should pay attention to this because it "is an example and it's in documents from the DOD."
"This is obscene -- what we're doing," Beck said emphatically.
The document went on to describe, "If the situation unravels, there is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist [or Sunni Islamic reform movement] principality in Eastern Syria, and that's exactly what the supporting powers of the opposition want, in order to isolate the Syrian regime, which is considered the strategic depth of the Shia expansion."
Beck believes the "undeclared Salafist principality" is the Islamic State, and the U.S. policy was to support them.
"Incredibly, ISIS running roughshod all over Syria and Iraq is exactly what this administration wanted," Beck said. "ISIS is the fruit of the Obama administration's labor -- let that sink in and spread the word, and show the document."
According to Beck, the president's administration wanted an "extremist group" fighting Assad in order to topple his leadership, "and that's exactly what has happened."
"Look at what's happened since ISIS has arrived: They have not been destroyed, they have not been contained. Team Obama would like you to believe that ISIS caught them by surprise, but, in reality, they saw ISIS coming," Beck insisted. "They said, 'They're junior league. We'll be able to use them in a proxy war.' And the consequences have been devastating."
Beck concluded by asking, "Would Paris have happened if the U.S. had "destroyed ISIS rather than contain them?"
"We are reaping what this out of control, immoral administration is sowing," he said.

Add this Republican half-wit to the list.
President Cokehead has gone quiet lately...
So many revelations reaching so many people.
He must be planning a Christmas day gun ban executive order.
We’ve been saying this on FR for months and months. It’s the ‘secret’ behind the Benghazi coverup. The US was secretly sending weapons to Syria. Arming ISIS and probably the Al Nusra Front.
bump
None dare call it treason.......................
Obama is OBSESSED with the removal of Assad.
Not so much because he's a "mean dictator", but because Congress thwarted his original plan and made him the fool. And, because that's what the Saudi's want...driven by their hatred of Iran.
Obama is crazily obsessed. And dangerous.
And Hillary is right there with him.
“Obama is crazily obsessed. And dangerous.
And Hillary is right there with him. “
Both devoted to Saul Alinsky since their late teens.
What a world we got stuck with!
(albeit temporarily)
When you say “source” do you mean Beck or Judicial Watch?
obama’s only goal si to FULLY SUPPORT HIS MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD BUDDIES
he is one of them.... simple as that
obama is msot likely a D student and certainly not intelligent ..
he was selected because of the color of his skina nd his commie ideology ...
his backers are not us based or loyal... he is a foreign agent and a traitor.... the muslim manchurian candidate ....
Beck
That is absolutely correct. Salafist means originalist ie those who take Muhammad and the Koran as it is at face value. It's the Caliphate. This is certainly why 0bama shut down any investigation of anything related to Islam.
Whistleblower: My intel might have stopped San BernardinoA year into the investigation, the State Department and the DHS Civil Rights Division told Haney that tracking these groups and individuals was problematic because they were Islamic groups. Haney reports that internal memos forbade him from developing any cases based on this profile.
His investigation was shut down, and many of his records were deleted, including evidence about a suspicious group as well as specific individuals tied to the mosque in Riverside, California, that Farook attended.
Philip Haney explained the meaning of Salafist in his interview with Megyn Kelly and detailed how that was exactly who he had been investigating.
Welcome to the party Glenn. One day you wake up and discover you have been working for the wrong side of WWIII. The stupid and evil side that has no humanity. It would have been more humane to just drop nukes on Syria than do what the US has done to the Syrian people via their JV Team ISIS.
Glenn started this party. He predicted the rise of the Caliphate before he left FOX and was ridiculed widely for it. He also within a day or two of Benghazi said it was a gun deal gone bad so he has been all over this from the beginning.
He is pathological in all things Trump, just like most Cruz supporters on FR.
Paul Ryan for President! Woo! Woo!
Runt Paul for President! Woo! Woo!
Jeb Bush for President! Woo! Woo!
Marco Rubio for President! Woo! Woo!
I can’t read this...........anymore than I can listen to Becks radio program. The man needs to be in a hospital somewhere, he is nuts.
Posted for the dod document so you can check that.
