Obama/Clinton Were Cofounders of ISIS

Admitted: Obama/Clinton Were Cofounders of ISIS

Joe Scudder

ISIS was bolstered and armed by Barack Obama’s CIA as his deputy national security adviser reluctantly admitted.

There was reason why Donald Trump called out Obama/Clinton as the cofounders of ISIS. And it’s a reason that may explain why the intel community targeted Michael Flynn first. 

Trump chose Flynn and even floated the idea of making Flynn the vice-president. That was a bad idea but it proves that Flynn had a big impact on Trump.

And what did Flynn know? Hear for yourself:

Now the same person who interview Flynn just got to interview (and interrogate) Obama’s national security advisor:

Zero Hedge reports, “Ben Rhodes Admits Obama Armed Jihadists In Syria In Bombshell Interview.”

In spite of Rhodes trying to dance around the issue, he sheepishly answers in the affirmative when Mehdi Hasan asks the following question about supporting jihadists in Syria:

“Did you intervene too much in Syria? Because the CIA spent hundreds of millions of dollars funding and arming anti-Assad rebels, a lot of those arms, as you know, ended up in the hands of jihadist groups, some even in the hands of ISIS. 

“Your critics would say you exacerbated that proxy war in Syria; you prolonged the conflict in Syria; you ended up bolstering jihadists.” 

Rhodes initially rambles about his book and “second guessing” Syria policy in avoidance of the question. But Hasan pulls him back with the following: “Oh, come on, but you were coordinating a lot of their arms.”  

The two spar over Hasan’s charge of “bolstering jihadists” in the following key section of the interview, at the end of which Rhodes reluctantly answers “yeah…” — but while trying to pass ultimate blame onto US allies Turkey, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia (similar to what Vice President Biden did in a 2014 speech): 

MH: Oh, come on, but you were coordinating a lot of their arms. You know, the U.S. was heavily involved in that war with the Saudis and the Qataris and the Turks. 

BR: Well, I was going to say: Turkey, Qatar, Saudi. 

MH: You were in there as well. 

BR: Yeah, but, the fact of the matter is that once it kind of devolved into kind of a sectarian-based civil war with different sides fighting for their perceived survival, I think we, the ability to bring that type of situation to close, and part of what I wrestled with in the book is the limits of our ability to pull a lever and make killing like that stop once it’s underway. 

To our knowledge this is the only time a major media organization has directly asked a high ranking foreign policy adviser from the Obama administration to own up to the years long White House support to jihadists in Syria.
