Arming of Syrian jihadists mirrored disastrous Libya policy
By piecing together recently revealed WikiLeaks emails with evidence that has emerged over the past several years, its become increasingly clear that President Obama and his secretary of state at the time, Hillary Clinton in 2011, armed the Free Syrian Army rebels in an effort to topple the regime of Bashar al-Assad, mirroring a strategy already under way in Libya to help al-Qaida-affiliated militia overthrow Moammar Gadhafi.
A consequence of the strategy was the emergence of ISIS out of the loosely coordinated Free Syrian Army coalition as well as the disastrous Benghazi attack in which a U.S. ambassador was murdered.

"Clinton changed sides in war on terror"
Let’s never forget the help they received arming jihadists from McCain, Graham and Rubio.
Wouldn’t it be sweet if she got charged with war crimes?
Cooking with dynamite, they are.
Not a practical method of food preparation under any circumstances.

John Podesta's SIL got a six-figure fee lobbying Clinton's State Dept same time Podesta was employed there
Fox News ^ | October 27, 2016 | James Rosen / FR Posted by jazusamo
EXCLUSIVE: John Podesta is best known as Hillary Clintons campaign chairman and the individual from whose private account WikiLeaks is presently publishing some 50,000 hacked emails.
(Podesta was Bill Clinton's COS, Obama's onetime Counsellor, a foundation employee, a State Dept employee, Hillary's 2016 campaign chair.)
Daily batches have laid bare the inner workings and tensions of the Clinton campaign in an unprecedented way, while also offering insights into the operations of the Clinton Foundation and the State Department in the years when Clinton, now the Democratic presidential nominee, served as secretary of state.
At that time, when Clinton was traveling to a record number of foreign countries, Podesta, a former White House chief of staff under President Clinton, held dual titles at the State Department:
<><> as a senior advisor entitled to an annual salary of $130,000 never paid him, the department maintains and,
<><> as a member of a prestigious foreign policy advisory board Secretary Clinton created.
Records obtained from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management show Podestas tenure at State extended from Sept. 25, 2011 to Jan. 4, 2014.
For several months in 2012, Clintons final year as secretary of state, Raytheon, the leading defense contractor, hired Podestas sister-in-law, Heather Podesta, as a lobbyist, federal records show.
Raytheon was looking to enlarge its share of foreign military sales transfers of advanced weapons systems to other countries that are reviewed and approved by the Department of State, then implemented by the Department of Defense and was beefing up its lobbying operation to accomplish that goal before Secretary Clinton left office.

So what else was Hillary doing---besides looting State Dept agencies---when she was supposed to be monitoring crucial aspects of US ntl security...including protecting the lives of her employees in Benghazi?
All the behind-the-scenes data (that Hillary tried to keep hidden from taxpayers) indicates she WAS on top of any and all State Dept insider info on which she and Bill could make a buck.
Some enterprising reporter needs to match-up her official State Dept moves w/ the Clintons' vast buck-raking operation. That tell$ the whole $tory in exqui$ite detail.
===============================================
REFERENCE---At first glance, the Clintons astounding honoraria and humongous Foundation donations seem to provide the bulk of the couples income.
Bills honoraria increased dramatically-earning some $50 million during Hillarys four-year term as Secretary of State....including an Irish scholarship fund, a Korean conglomerate, and, a Nigerian newspaper company......each of whom paid Clinton more than half a million dollars for a single speech.
The Wash/Post reports Hillary earned $11.7 million for 51 speeches since Jan 2014.....she pocketed an astonishing $625,000 for two speeches in one day!
Id LOVE to know the amount of money that changed hands in all that!
To quote the Rev. Wright, “The chickenssss...have come home to rooooost!”
Chris Stevens was a “Contractor” (CIA ops?) when he was actively involved in coordinating supply of “tools” and training to “moderate rebels” in attempts to overthrow Libya and Syria leaders. He was not appointed ambassador until <6 months before his murder in Benghazi - tasked to inventory and collect supplies of “tools” including manpads supplied to those moderates who had many potential uses and were reluctant to surrender them.

Obama pals Bill Ayers, Bernadette Dohrn et al were actively involved and organizing events pre-Arab spring as reported in Feb. 2011 by Aaron Klein at WND: http://www.wnd.com/2011/02/258925/
“Months before protests erupted throughout Egypt aimed at toppling the regime of President Hosni Mubarak, President Obamas own associates provoked anti-regime chaos on the streets of the now embattled Middle East country and longtime U.S. ally.
Egypt has accused the Obama administration of championing the protests and of pressuring Mubarak to resign...
Obama champions anti-Mubarak protests
According to a senior Egyptian diplomat speaking to WND, Frank Wisner, a former U.S. ambassador to Egypt, specifically told Mubarak yesterday the U.S. would not continue to support his rule and he must step down.
The Obama administration dispatched Wisner to Egypt last weekend to report to the State Department and White House a general sense of the situation in the embattled country.
WND broke the story yesterday the Egyptian government has information Wisner secretly met earlier this week with a senior leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Issam El-Erian.
The Muslim Brotherhood seeks to spread Islam around the world, in large part using nonviolent means. Hamas and al-Qaida are violent Brotherhood offshoots...”
None of this occurred without ACTIVE PARTICIPATION, COORDINATION and PLANNING by Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State and POTUS B. Hussein Obama.
“Id LOVE to know the amount of money that changed hands in all that!”
Where did all the 143 Tons of Libyan gold go?
No one really knows.
The emails from Hillary point to ... well, eventually, Hillary; along with many others.
High Crimes - IT DOES NOT MATTER
nor does any of the plethora of crimes exposed in the emails
the only things that matter is that Putin elected Trump
got that yet? s/
Is there a day by day accounting of our overthrow of the legally elected government of Libya? Book, articles or even video. It seems to me we were suddenly bombing the Libyian military without an explanation.
There are many reasons that HRC chose to:
1) Utilize a private email server during her tenure as Secretary of State (precludes std. Fed. Gov’t back-up of ALL her communications)
2) Establish the Clinton Foundation in Canada (i.e. limited reporting requirements for disclosure of contribution amounts and the contributor)
These are some of the reasons that she and Bill have had to refile their US Fed. Tax Returns multiple times over that last many years as evidence has been revealed of undisclosed donors and amounts that coincidentally appear to coincide with her meetings with foreign government donors and meetings with here personally as SOS..
Inquiring minds would also like to know where did the $6 billions USD in TAX-PAYER dollars go that is unaccounted for during her SOS position vanish to?

ISIS did not emerge FROM the FSA ... it merged into it later when the administration repeatedly redrew the red line and made it clear to the FSA that it would get no meaningful support from the US after expecting it would. Eventually they gave up on waiting for US leadership and opened up to any allies they could get. IOW, Obama left a vacuum which ISIS then filled.
ALL of them, including McCain and the repubs involved, should be in prison. They are ALL responsible for massive death and destruction.
And the SAUDIS should be thrown in prison with them.
The muslim brohood, CAIR, and any affiliates should be seen as enemies and subject to arrest in this country.
Actually, they all deserve the firing squad.
