Not that Centcom officials would even publicly admit it (or allow it in their reports), but the war against ISIS isn’t going so well in Iraq. Months of effort at “retaking Ramadi” hasn’t even gotten the city surrounded, and ISIS seems more entrenched than ever. Administration officials, at least, seem to be conceding that point, and are looking to shift their war focus away from Iraq and toward Syria.
It’s hard to imagine it, but US officials see Syria as a more promising territory, even though they trained 54 troops, sent them into Syria, and had them quickly turn into “four or five.” They’re citing the comparative success of the Kurdish YPG in fighting ISIS there as proof of this, and are looking to escalate their backing for them.
This has been proposed more than a few times, however, and usually gets shot down by Turkey, which considers the YPG a terrorist organization and doesn’t want them getting any stronger either. The US is desperate for gains, however, and may be less and less worried about where they come from.
One official quoted by the Washington Post suggested that the vetting process may be getting the axe too, restricting it to a few “top” commanders, saying the focus right now is “getting them some [expletive] bullets,” and who “them” is is becoming less of a concern.
Ironically, ISIS was awash in weapons in no small part because the CIA was throwing arms at Syria early in the civil war without worrying about where they ended up. The US seems to have given up on the objections that this strategy didn’t work last time, for lack of any better ideas.
The US wouldn't want to be left out of the party now would it. If there's conflict somewhere the US has got to get involved. The weapons mobsters demand it.
Arming the rebels is not only failing to improve the situation on the ground,
it is making it worse by ensuring a perpetual stalemate.
The "other US government " is demanding for Syrian war to be prolonged no matter the costs in humanity or anything else. Russian, Iran, Kurdish and Iraqi people are the only one fighting these barbarians because USG new doctrine is about Islamization of entire region, look Obama got paid by Norwegian Nobel peace authorities for his idea and since his been saying and cooperating with those who have their mercenaries stationed in Turkey. Everyone is talking about ISIS, yet Al-Queada is the other barbaric regime that governes, ISIS is the military wing supported by Saudis, Al-Queada is the GCC supported political and military regimes that Saudis, Turkish, USG and some European governments, especially David Cameron government would rather have in Syria and in Iraq as governing buddy due to economic, military and economic relations they have with Saudis-Wahhabis.
The process of Islamization was conducted when almost every, what is known as "world power" mostly Europe and U.S supported such idea, yet the Libya bombardment and Syrian war proves the fact where even the Swedish far right politicians, the monarchist "Moderates" and to some point some other liberal party supported the idea. All that is simply to kill any other options that people in Middle East and North Africa had about democracy, socialism or even a functioning democracy.
Bottom line is this, there are two options to kill democracy and people movement in the directions of a functioning democracy, independent and peoples dignity, one is militarism the other is to use religious barbarism. George W. Bush tried the first one and Barack Hussein Obama is practicing the second one, both have failed to bring any kind of democracy to Middle East which therefore Obama blaming Muslims for the fighting among each other, he simply cannot distinguish between Islamic fascism, barbarism and regional needs for people democracy which therefore giving up on the mess USG have made and prolonging the Syria, Iraq, Libyan and African war is USG and David Cameron last political options.
You got that right.Its all part of the shadow governments plan .US Army General Wesley Clark spoke up and warned the world of what he saw right after 911 when he discovered the 5 year 7 nation plan to destabilize the entire region for the net gain of a privileged few who will profit,but the media didn't want to hear it or actually dig into whats really going on.While its good to know about whats truly going on and to truly understand just how wicked and calculating these psychopaths are,more importantly I want to know what we can do as a people to stop this madness before it consumes us all.What I see is multiple fractured peace movement groups who are not well coordinated and are always being monitored and subverted from within .At this point all its going to take is one wrong move,one bullet or missile fired at the wrong target or Israel destroying a convoy meant for the Syrian army manned by Russians to spark a massive conflict that will turn into WW3.From what I'm now seeing I truly believe we are seeing the true beginning of this tragic and avoidable war.
It appears the U.S. is willing to allow Russia an attempt to roll back ISIS. There is grumbling publicly about Russian moves in Syria. However the U.S. and especially Europe are desperate to do something to stem the refugee crisis caused by the failed policy concerning Syria.
If this doesn't prove that Obama is *deliberately* arming ISIS, I don't know what does. Every single member of the so-called "vetted moderate rebels" turned their weapons over to ISIS or Al Qaeda. And now Obama wants to pour MORE weapons into Syria with LESS vetting.
What more do you need to know?
It is increasingly clear that the Obama Administration's "regime change" policy in Syria is not only a failure on its own terms, but has led to a tacit US policy of supporting the very Sunni extremist terrorists (including self-proclaimed Al Qaeda affiliates such as Al Nusra and ISIS) who attacked our homeland on 9/11. It is long past time to demand that our Government explain to us why it is more important to overthrow a Syrian government which never attacked or even threatened to attack our nation, than to attack and eliminate the terrorists who killed 3,000 people in NYC and Washington on 9/11.
The purpose is percieved chaos and a constantly on edge program of failure, and yet when was last time any Al Q or ABC terrorist group hurt an energy source?

This isn't about fighting ISIS. this is about preserving a violent proxy jihadist force in hoping to overthrow the Syrian regime which is exactly what their masters in Saudi Arabia want. Our military should openly disobey every order from their generals and Obama for what they are doing is completely illegal.
