ISIS: Made in the U.S.A.? [Obama reserves right to bomb n***** in Syria]
“I have a picture here where (Sen.) John McCain is actually meeting with ISIS, talking about what wonderful people they are,” Mr. Papantonio said on the Thom Hartman television program Sept. 5. [MORE]
From [HERE] and [HERE] Promising that he’s not leading this country into a new Iraq war, President Barack Obama set the stage for a new U.S. “game plan” for an offensive against the Islamic State (ISIS) rebellion in Iraq and Syria. [More on reserving the right to bomb n**** HERE]
Efforts to build an international coalition against the extremists made progress during and after the President’s NATO summit in Wales, which ended Sept. 7. “I just want the American people to understand the nature of the threat and how we’re going to deal with it and to have confidence that we’ll be able to deal with it,” Mr. Obama told NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sept. 7. “The next phase is now to start going on some offense.”
The President, who was pilloried by Republicans in Congress for saying in August that he did not have a strategy to contend with the rapid takeover of land—often employing brutal tactics including mass executions and beheadings—said he would seek congressional support before announcing his strategy to the public.
Ironically, Mr. Obama’s most outspoken critics—Republican Senators John McCain (Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (S.C.)—were instrumental in laying the rebel movement’s foundation, according to attorney Mike Papantonio and others. Mr. Papantonio is a host on “Ring of Fire Radio,” and Internet broadcast heard Saturday evenings on the Progressive Voices Channel on “Tune In.”
But the corporate-owned U.S. media ignores that the U.S. and others, such as Turkey and Saudi Arabia, have been arming, funding and training members of ISIS since 2007.
ISIS, which has seized huge land masses using U.S. weapons abandoned by fleeing Iraqi soldiers, has seized huge blocks of land in Iraq and neighboring Syria. The group has also earned widespread condemnation for the videotaped beheadings of American journalists James Foley and Joel Sotloff, as well as mass executions of captured Iraqi soldiers.
“I have a picture here where (Sen.) John McCain is actually meeting with ISIS, talking about what wonderful people they are,” Mr. Papantonio said on the Thom Hartman television program Sept. 5. “He’s talking about how they’re the future possibility of success in the Middle East. This is John McCain. And of course (Sen.) Graham is just like him. These are the people that are critical right now of (Mr.) Obama for not doing anything. This is what they helped create,” he said.
