Default Training Al-Qaeda To Be More Efficient Killers Is Now An Essential Function Of The US

...Government.


Quote:
The US government is shut down, which means only essential spending is permitted. So what does the US government, or rather its Central Intelligence Agency decide to spend precious, mission-critical taxpayer money on? Why arming the Qatari-supported Al-Qaeda "rebels" in Syria of course
Of course that's not all.

That's strange.
When you get through all the zerohedge gobbledygook it says they are training the FSA militias as a counter to the Al-Qaida linked militias.
Weird isn't it, the story is the exact opposite of what the bloggers claim, I do like that extra nonsense they added at the end

One group at a time, first Assad, then we can turn on Al-Qaida, then spend a few hundred billion rebuilding Syria only to have it destroyed by further internal politics.

Course, that's how the military and their suppliers likes it..

Much better spent money than on our own people.

I would rather be able to manipulate other sovereign nations, than to take care of poor Americans, or rebuild/refurbish infrastructure. Or do anything other than create jobs for China, and encourage corporations to look overseas for labor, with no tax penalty....While reaping tax breaks for headquartering here.

After all, American Taxpayer money, serves Americans last.


Just ask congress.

Congress has our best interests in mind, with a 10% approval rating... (don't get me started on the RINO obammy.)

1. How do you train a CIA database ?

2. It has always been that way. From training and supporting Bin Laden in Afghanistan back then as long as he fought against the Russians, to the Contras in Nicaragua, to helping Pinochet's bullies against a democratically elected president, Haiti, blah and so on and so on.

It all is in the best US interest, and tradition

In context of Cold War this was one of the more successful operations that contributed to chiping out USSR.
Dealing with Bin Laden later on was a flop.

I know you meant Bin Laden vs. Russia, but couldn't help it
Sry.

However as a real villain, be it a terrorist or a dictator, i would be very careful while choosing with whom i side ..

Does that merit a move to the CT topic where it was flogged to death by the troofers?
