Thanks, Reader H
Same old psychopath terrorist game.
Fund and equip both sides of both sides of the conflict.
Destroy until nothing is left to destroy.
Bring in your corporate hit men to steal the natural resources.
Make billionaires out of gov contractor war parasites to re-build what you destroy.
Send the bill for it all to American taxpayers.

ISIS proclaimed Islamic order on territories they captured both in Iraq and Syria. The area they now hold contains economically vital oil sites.
Where does ISIS get the funding it needs to snatch power in the region?
Even Washington has played its role in the rise of ISIS - as RT's Marina Portnaya explains.

The serial numbers on the aircraft pictured correspond to numbers on known Iranian fighter jets
Expert believes Iraq's latest aircraft delivery is from Iran, not Russia
Jets will be deployed alongside U.S. forces in unlikely military alliance
Aircraft likely delivered by Iranian pilots but it is unclear who will crew them

The U.S. and Iran are now fighting alongside one another in a bid to counter the growing threat ISIS poses in the Middle East.
Military expert Joseph Dempsey believes the latest set of aircraft to be delivered to Iraq is Iranian, despite steps being taken to mask its origin.
The U.S. has just announced it's sending an additional 300 troops to Iraq, raising its total presence in the war-ravaged country to 750.
Those troops will now be working alongside the newly delivered Iranian fighter jets to form an unlikely international military aid package.
Joseph Dempsey, an analyst for the IISS's Military Balance Online publication, said new footage showed Iraq's latest Su-25 Frogfoot attack aircraft originated from Iran.
Their arrival follows a delivery of identical aircraft from Russia - but with a number of key distinctions.
He said video footage of the fleet showed serial numbers matching those from known Iranian aircraft, while their camouflage scheme was unique and attempts to conceal Iranian insignia were noticeable.
'Although these aircraft were likely delivered to Iraq by Iranian pilots, it is unclear who will now be responsible for crewing and maintaining them.
'Given this recent apparent growth in their Su-25 inventory, it seems increasingly unlikely that Iraq retains the capacity to operate this type of aircraft in any significant number without some level of external support.
'Whilst the presence of Iran-sourced aircraft in Iraq is clearly significant, the exact circumstances surrounding their presence and intended use remain unknown, as does the existence of any wider arrangement between the governments of these neighboring countries to counter the ISIS threat.'
Iraq has been vocal in its opposition to ISIS, with public protests held in the capital last week and new reports of drone strikes taking place across its border.
Protests took place in Tehran, Iran, last week where the public voiced its concerns about ISIS - it is believed Iran has now supplied fighter jets to assist the Iraqi Government to repel the Islamic extremists
Only days ago did ISIS formally announced the creation of its caliphate, or Islamic State, across the territory it holds in Syria and Iraq.
Its push across Iraq in recent weeks has been brutal, with more than 2,400 people killed in the month of June alone.
The group is responsible for committing a number of mass executions and bloody atrocities during its surge to the edge of the city of Baghdad and has called on all Muslims to join its campaign.
Yesterday, the leader of the extremist group called on Muslims to come to the territory his group has seized to help build an Islamic state, declaring: 'The earth is Allah's.'
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi said: 'In this virtuous month or in any other month, there is no deed better than jihad in the path of Allah, so take advantage of this opportunity and walk the path of you righteous predecessors.
'So to arms, to arms, soldiers of the Islamic, fight, fight.'
