Kerry also admitted U.S. helped arm jihadists
As President Obama reflects on his legacy, a recording of Secretary of State John Kerry conversing with leaders of Syrian opposition groups is casting more light on his approach to ISIS, indicating his administration believed that allowing the Islamic State to grow would serve the White House’s objective of ousting Syrian President Bashar Assad.
The recording was leaked to the New York Times and reported Sept. 30, but the Conservative Tree House blog this week featured portions of Kerry’s statements that were virtually ignored at the time.
Regime change was Obama’s only objective in Syria, Kerry indicates, and the administration not only hoped ISIS would carry out the task, it gave arms to the jihadist army and its allies, confirming WND’s reporting.
Kerry admits the U.S. didn’t calculate that Assad would turn to Russia for help.
The Obama administration’s betrayal is exposed in “See Something, Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government’s Submission to Jihad,” by former DHS officer Philip Haney and WND Editor Art Moore
“And we know that this was growing, we were watching, we saw that DAESH (ISIS) was growing in strength, and we thought Assad was threatened,” Kerry told the Syrians.
“(We) thought, however,” he continued, “we could probably manage that Assad might then negotiate, but instead of negotiating he got Putin to support him.”
Kerry’s off-record, 40-minute discussion with two dozen Syrians who worked with nongovernmental organizations took place during the U.N. General Assembly.
It confirms WND’s reporting since 2011 of evidence that Clinton’s State Department engineered the clandestine transfer of weapons from Libya to Syria that ended up in the hands of terrorist groups aligned with ISIS and al-Qaida.

You are absolutely correct.....throughout obama’s tenure, he has weakened our military and insulted our allies. I am not at all surprised that he would support the enemies of our nation.
He sure was.
[ Qatar or Dubai ]
What are one of the countries Obama is going to flee too after Jan 20th...
Note: Qatar doesn’t have extradition treaties with the US....
Yes I noticed that as well. Syria has been aligned with Russia for years.
I hope trump exposes more of what went on.
Sheesh why is this news? An ISIS operative wanting ISIS to grow? America will get to know much more of the Kenyan they elected for their highest office.
When I read this, I had two thoughts...
1. Now we know why Obama diminished ISIS calling it the JV team.
2. Now we know why Val Jarrett is trying to rewrite history ahead of treason charges...
They probably think NK would not turn to China for help, either.................
Treason.
Barry better have a non-extraditable Mooslim hell-hole lined up to flee to.
And Obama is outraged because the Russians snooped in some email servers?
That would require a vocabulary that also contains the word "Republic". A Republic being a state of affairs whose governance is constituted upon the rule of law and having "TO SECURE THESE RIGHTS" as its declared American purpose.
The Organized Criminal Newspeak Dictionary seems to be missing that concept....

This changes nothing. Most knew BO’Bs true beliefs. To them it did not matter. TPTB will continue to cover for him in order to see him remain a free man, alive and well, living off American taxpayers for the remaining years of his treacherous life.
Why would any Kafir want to depose an Alawite like Assad who tolerates Christians,and protects them, and Assad is not a fundamental Muslim, and have Asssad replaced by a fundamental Sunni or fundamental Shiite Muslim group?
, Neither a Sunni or Shiite replacement would be good for us Kafirs. -Tom
If they really didn’t consider Syria would reach out to Putin, then they have utterly no clue about foreign relationships and are more US-centric then they have ever claimed Republican’s to be.
I knew about that alliance since the early 80s in HS at least...
That audio has got to be a Russian leak, therefore WND should be investigated to see just how deep their collusion with the Russians is.
I clicked on the radio just in time to hear Rush’s sub declare that Assange has deep ties with Russian intelligence, so therefore you can’t believe him about where he gets his stuff. Because, he said, you never see Assange leak anything on the Russians, who are very crooked. There is probably a language barrier, and if anything is leaked, it would cause a mass slaughter of innocents.
Quietly and quickly, just like the path to Ron Brown’s, Communist Party member, removal from above-ground status...
Yeah, they were not flying Phantoms nor F-14s from what I could see.
I seem to remember Obama wanted to join the war against Assad and on the side if ISIS. We already knew they were just plain terrorist and he hadn’t counted on that. He had McCain and Graham on his side.
Can’t send Muslims to the West without War at home
Liberals on NPR were whimpering that we’d lose all the progress Obama made with “moderate Syrian rebels” unless Trump understood the importance of regime change. I hope President Trump rejects regime change. You don’t change things unless you have an improvement, and the “moderate rebels” would be far worse for the West than Assad would be. I hope Russia and Assad crush all the rebels soon after President Trump takes power.
It was irresponsible of us to give any decent rebels hope if we were not willing to support them far more actively than we have done, and it would have been even worse if we had toppled Assad and given that large country to ISIS or to Al Qaeda. Once the rebellion is crushed, Europe and the United States need to deport the “refugees” and send them back home to rebuild their own countries.
