ISIL is building a new caliphate...

"You think a U.S. Senator is over there for a social visit?"

Your original statement was that the U.S. globalist pr#$#$cks financed this insurrection. The Syrian War started in 2011 during the midst of the Arab Spring. When was that picture taken? Was it 2011 or before? If not, that picture proves nothing except what we already know. John McCain has visited Syria. I don't see him with a suitcase full of cash giving it to the revolutionaries. My guess is that picture was taken when the revolution was in full swing and he and others went over there to assess it for themselves.

In Somalia, I saw a whole group of Congressmen/Senators in Mogadishu on a visit. Your picture proves nothing except that you are ignorant of what goes on in a war zone.

Please don’t call them ISIL. That stands for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The Levant includes Israel. ISIS is the Islamic State of Iraq adn Syria.

Or simply Daesh.

Or maybe some can move to Canad if we do some of the things that might be done...escape the USA for USA instead of the draft...same thing.

I find your post a bit confusing, could you clarify please?

“And now we have the Obama foreign policy wing speaking out. Yes, that worked out well the first time with the birth of ISIS

Maybe you are referring to the “leading from behind” strategy of Obama to promote the Muslim brotherhood rebels against Syria/Assad.

Actually, the Obama crew just wanted Assad out of the way and it had to do with oil. It wasn’t until Putin started helping Assad that things started to change and we began our exit. The propaganda surrounding our role was just riddled with untruth. The people of Syria still like Assad.

The birth of ISIS? As I recall, those rebels were known as the Muslim Brotherhood — the very ones that McCain liked to chummy with. They got his ear & sympathy and McCain brought it back to the States. There is a pic farther down the page of him with the Muslim Brotherhood.

What the hell is ISIL?

"The birth of ISIS? As I recall, those rebels were known as the Muslim Brotherhood — the very ones that McCain liked to chummy with."

Incorrect. It started with Zarqawi who was with the Taliban but didn't think they were hardcore enough religiously. He was really the one that started the insurrection in Iraq in 2004 and 2005. He was killed in 2006. Many of the early members of ISIS were former Iraqi military officers who got "religious". ISIS really has nothing to do with the Muslim Brotherhood. They just share that they are sunnis and crazy.

The only link I'm aware of at all is from Zawahiri who is Egyptian (where the Muslim Brotherhood dominate). He was a member and is now the leader of Al Qada after Bin Laden got killed.
