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.

Wow he must think their audience is stupid???
if that is really being said on Rush, then man has he fallen from what he was when I was a regular listener in the first half of 1990s!
I cut Rush off back in 1997. Astounding!
Kerry was lying about not expecting the Russians to intervene. That meeting was basically a meeting where Kerry was explaining why the US failed. The Syrian Rebels wanted even more weapons, a no fly zone and they wanted the US to attack Hezbolla and the Iranian Militias. Kerry was spewing out bull crap to explain why the US failed their rebel forces. They were also strategizing about the future. Assad was supposed to have been killed three years prior by the many assassination attempts the Saud/Qatar/Turkey/EU/US had attempted. These rebels were used and killed by the thousands just for oil.

"4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double." - Rev.
Not treason, per se, but awfully close to it.
The Oligarch are not kafirs. They consider themselves the equal to the Saudi and Qatari Elite. Everyday people like us are just worker drones.
Probably not Dubai. Dubai has become (arguably) the biggest Islamic financial center in the entire Middle East and they’re not interested to doing anything to stem that cash flow.
Indeed. Syria’s only been a Soviet/Russia client for how many decades?
Obama’s Arab Spring sets the Middle East ablaze.
Yep. Can’t be said enough...... what a humanitarian and security disaster. I wonder where all the opposition from the left went?
Obama called for a new policy and new ideas in the Middle East when he campaigned. That worked out well!
Aid and comfort. Right there.
They would have had their way 20 years ago. Moderate Rebels Beheading and Crucifying people on Youtube is the ONLY thing that stopped U.S. Military involvement in Syria.
Is anybody surprised?
Gee, Toto. I got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.
They knew about the Syria and Russian relationship - that is in fact one of the reasons the neocons want Assad gone. They wanted to topple all the leaders of the former Russian client countries.
Since Russia didn’t intervene during the first war in Iraq, they decided that they could intervene militarily anywhere they wanted in the middle east.
However, there is a port that is important to Russia, and a pipeline that Russia wants to go through Syria, so they should have known that Putin wasn’t going to let Syria fall without trying to help. JMHO
Actually there are many, like providing material support to a terrorist organization which is a crime.
The president does not have the constitutional authority to simply ignore laws that get in the way of his foreign policy objectives. Remember Iran/Contra. I want hearings and I want them now!
The fact that we have enough morons in this country to have elected the maggot TWICE is utterly shameful.
Talk of Zero buying a mansion in Dubai.
The problem they will have is fundamental Muslims will go after leadership including so-called Muslims or otherwise that they deem to not be true Muslims and will kill them.
Saudi Arabian and Turkish leadership is having that problem with ISIS right now.
That is why those two groups of Sunni Muslims in Turkey and Saudi Arabia,are trying to contain the Sunni fundamentalists of ISIS. - Tom
His sub is Buck Sexton, a former CIA analyst and works for Beck’s network...I have listened to and liked some of what Sexton has said in past, but I don’t know if I trust his sourcing on this...CIA is very political these days.
