However, many observers say that while the US and its allies claim they are fighting against terrorist groups like Daesh, they in fact helped create and train those organizations to advance their policies in the Middle East.

Ouch. Seriously, wtf are we doing?

Did you think Iran would say something different ? Tell me, is Iran being honest ?

 

[OddBall1st]

Did Iran say how much support for Assad they have given ? I understand he is quite the fine fellow.

One day we will rid ourselves of Democrats and Republicans, only then, we will be able to decide for ourselves our next direction and not have one of either of them do it for us.

All this shit is because of that.

I'd consider the source before I believed it word for word. Even they admit the following in their Mission Statement:

This website is compiled by human beings, mostly by compiling or summarizing what other human beings have written. Therefore, it most likely contains some mistakes and/or potential misinterpretations and should be used primarily as a way to search quickly for basic information and information sources.

Ouch. Seriously, wtf are we doing?

Special forces including Kurds commandos raided an ISIS compound and freed 73 hostages set to be executed the following morning. The fine U.S. soldier that was killed had 4 purple hearts and left behind 4 kids and a wife.

Such heroic acts go unreported on most alphabet networks, for whatever reason. Only FOX has had in depth coverage regarding this amazing operation. It's about time Obama started kicking ass. Generals and the public think it's a little too little too late considering the shithead said in 2011 that the Iraq was over.

Right, tell that to the thousands have been executed, tortured and raped by Islamic facist thugs.

The Arab hostages were freed from an ISIS prison in northern Iraq near Hawijah. "People were chained to walls," one well-placed military source told Fox News.

"A mass atrocity was averted," a senior U.S. defense source added. According to the Pentagon, rescuers "deliberately planned" the operation, and moved in when it was apparent that ISIS hostage takers were planning to kill the hostages.

You can't be serious? Special forces including Kurds commandos raided an ISIS compound and freed 73 hostages set to be executed the following morning. The fine U.S. soldier that was killed had 4 purple hearts and left behind 4 kids and a wife.

I was alluding to us fighting people we've trained and armed, not the hostage rescue.

The hostage rescue was bad ass. I should definitely mention that.

I know, and I edited my post questioning the source. Re-read the first part about their Mission Statements.

If someone says it on the internet and someone repeats it, then by golly, it must be true.
