The Syria Mess was Made In America by Jim Babka & Perry Willis

President Obama (and Republicans like John McCain and Lindsey Graham) wanted to depose Syria’s dictator, Bashar al-Assad. This meant the U.S. had to support the people fighting Assad.

Oops!

The people fighting Assad turned out to be ISIS.

U.S. support for ISIS has been demonstrated by a recently declassified Pentagon document. It’s also been confirmed by the former Chief of Defense Intelligence. In other words…

Our politicians were for ISIS…

…before they were against them.

And now our politicians have to pursue a contradictory policy. They want to…

* Fight Assad * Fight the people who are fighting Assad (ISIS)

But how? Our politicians came up with a simple answer…

REPEAT the mistake that led to ISIS!

Our military and intelligence agencies renewed their search for Syrian moderates. They then armed and trained those “moderates,” and sent them into battle. Here’s what happened…

* Some of them surrendered and joined ISIS * Still others ran away leaving their weapons behind — ISIS got the weapons

In other words…

Your tax dollars have been used to arm ISIS, on more than one occasion!

And the Pentagon informed Congress last week that — of the thousands of “moderates” we trained to fight both Assad and ISIS — only 4 or 5 individuals remain on our side. Yes, you read that right.

Doesn’t it make you proud!

Now, the conflict is escalating. Russia and Iran are both involved. They oppose ISIS and support Assad, while our own politicians continue their search for mythical moderates.

Here’s what we think…

* The most moderate Syrians have all fled the country as refugees. * There is no good side in this conflict. There are only bad sides. * Assad is the lesser of the two evils — Russia and Iran are right about that — but… * We must not aid Assad because we must never aid dictators.

This analysis leaves only one policy option — NON-INTERVENTION.

This would have been the best policy all along. Non-intervention would have avoided both the Iraq mess and the ISIS problem!

It has always been thus. Most U.S. interventions have made the world worse, NOT better. So when is our “government” going to stop making the world worse?
