The record of USA funding Jihadists is now indisputable. When we dropped 103 Pallets of weapons, ammunition, explosives, and gear (reported 50tons) onto "Rebel Controlled" Syrian territory last week then we destroyed all of our credibility in this conflict.
Why? Because the pentagon and White House both admitted over the last month that we cannot find "moderate" Syrian Rebels to train and equip...yet the CIA is training and equipping "some groups".
Ergo, we are training and equipping and dropping ammunition and weapons to Jihadist groups.
Why is that a great idea? Why are both the White House and Turkey and Saudi working to support ISIS and Jihadists (no, there is no substantive difference) when a secular regime in the form of Bashar al-Assad is fighting to prevent a genocide of the Alawite/Christian/Non-Muslim peoples in this fight?
Why did the USA not raise the issue of NATO CHARTER and demand that Turkey CLOSE its borders with Syria 4 years ago to prevent resupply and recruitment for ISIS?
Why is the USA not stopping Turkey from bombing PKK forces that are engaged in fighting ISIS on the ground??
The Biggest Question:
WHY IS TURKEY, a state now run by the Muslim Brotherhood, backing ISIS, and now responsible for pushing 1.5 million refugees off their own soil and into the europe, STILL A MEMBER OF NATO?
