Libyan arms from Benghazi through Turkey to ISIS:

Is 0bama directly arming the fanatical Sunni army in Iraq?

If he is, it would explain many, many things.

ISIS has become the face of Sunni Islam, in the Middle East, Europe, America and throughout the world.

In conclusion, Turkish leaders are finding Syria a double quagmire, with Mr. Assad still in power and the Kurdish entity growing stronger [IN SYRIA and associated with the terrorist PKK that's been at war with Turkey since the 1980s. Repeat: the Kurds in Syria not the KRG in Iraq (see below)]. In reaction, they have cooperated with even the most extreme, retrograde and vicious elements, such as ISIS. However, this support opened a second front in Iraq which, in turn, brings the clash of the Middle East’s two titans, Turkey and Iran, closer to realization.

("[The Turks] have cooperated with even the most extreme, retrograde and vicious elements, such as ISIS" -- as others have reminded us.. so has Obama.)

This has some interesting information about the current events in Iraq. IMO.

". . . Ankara has entered into energy deals with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), something which has infuriated the central Iraqi government in Baghdad but which has helped the Kurds further build a foundation for their independence [yes true that] Ankara has been so alarmed by the growing Kurdish autonomy [in Syria and tolerated by Syria, I believe] that it reportedly has provided support for [ISIS] in their fight against the Kurdish militia that controls the region [of Syria],which is affiliated with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK)." [my emphasis]

more..

". . . the takeover by ISIS in recent days of Mosul and other cities . . . Ankara will likely not only have to deepen its relationship with the KRG . . . but also alter its approach to the Kurds in Syria [I ask: but demand that the Kurds in Syria reject the PKK?]"

more..

"Explains Lehigh University professor and Turkey expert Henri Barkey in an analysis piece on Al-Monitor website: The crisis may force the Turks to rethink some of their policies in Syria. To date, Ankara’s friendship with the Kurds stopped in Iraq; Erdogan and his government have taken an uncompromising position against Syrian Kurds led by the Democratic Union Party of Kurdistan (PYD), an offshoot of the Turkish Kurdish insurgent group the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). The PYD has emerged as the strongest Kurdish group in Syria and has put together an impressive fighting force to defend its territory from both ISIS and the regime. The idea of another autonomous Kurdish region on its borders after the KRG has been anathema to Ankara. Paradoxically, the PYD’s armed elements are some of the only ones that have scored blows against the jihadists. In the face of the ISIS sweep, the PYD and the KRG, which have also had antagonistic relations, appear to be cooperating on defensive measures against ISIS. Turkey may have to reconsider its boycott of the Syrian Kurds to enlarge the anti-ISIS coalition." [my emphasis]

Syria, Southern Iraq (under Maliki), Iran and Lebanon (Hezzbulah)....VS....ISIS, the Al-Obama Brigade (White House), Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrein.

Kurds and Jordan probably trying to stay out of it.

The insane thing is Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrein thinking they can turn this off before it eats them alive.

ISIS and the Al-Obama Brigade around for all out Jihad consuming all. The

Turks for their part are probably arrogant enough to think they will rule this Caliphate if it succeeds as the did the Ottoman Empire.

Turkey is a member of NATO. They would not be doing this with Uncle Scam’s ok - which they have. But the US is doing more than just giving approval. In fact, Turkey is the junior partner in this ISIS project.

The hidden name is ISIL.

Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant

Levant ===>> Eastern Mediterranean counties
from Turkey to Egypt. This includes Israel

Iraq (Babylon) and the Levant.
It is the re-creation of the Ancient Assyrian Empire.

The Assyrian Empire is the same as the
Eastern half of the Roman Empire.

These were the first terrorists,
three to five millennia ago.

The Anti-Christ is "the Assyrian"
( Isaiah, Micah, Ezekiel ) .

Somebody wants to restore their empire. Riding Muslim famatics’ fanaticism is a sure bet for that, of course. Just ask the Cairo-Khartoum cabal how well their support for Haj Amin el Husseini worked for them.
