Knowing the Enemy (And It is Not Obama) By Larry Johnson

Knowing the Enemy (And It is Not Obama)
By Larry Johnson on August 10, 2014 at 5:41 PM in Current Affairs

Bush’s idiotic invasion of Iraq in 2003 sowed the seeds for what ISIS now is. But the fault is not solely with Bush. Obama’s pursuit of the Arab Spring and his meddling in Syria, which included helping arm the Syrian rebels, have fueled the rise of ISIS.

If you have the chance, please take time to read a recent ISIS publication. You will begin to appreciate their fundamentalist mentality and sincere belief that they are doing the will of God. You can find it here.

Take a look at page 31. The ISIS editors praise John McCain in a backhanded way:

On “12 June 2014,”the crusader John Mc-Cain came to the senate floor to rant irritably about the victories the Islamic State was achieving in Iraq. He forgot that he himself participated in the invasion of Iraq that led to the blessed events unfolding today by Allah’s bounty and justice.


Did you catch it? The ISIS crew believes that the US innovation of Iraq opened the way for them to grow and succeed.
