Truth in Media: Origin of ISIS

Good mini-documentary from Ben Swann of Truth in Media on the origins of ISIS. He ably documents that the rise of ISIS was not unforeseen, but that they were actually created and armed by the US Government. I would add that the US allies such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Israel have also had a hand in arming the Islamic jihadist groups in Syria and Iraq. Even as far back as 2007 Seymour Hersh in a New Yorker article 'The Redirection', documented the shift in US foreign policy to support Sunni Islamic jihadists to oppose the Shiite bloc (Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah) in a covert proxy war of destabilisation.

If the US was really serious about fighting ISIS and Al Nusra terrorists, they would be supporting the the Syrian Army who are the main force in Syria that fights against ISIS/Al Nusra terrorists. Furthermore they would also destroy the ISIS/Al Nusra logistical supply lines coming out of NATO member Turkey, thus cutting off the endless supply of weapons and fighters that the terrorists currently receive from their state backers. Instead the US undermines the Syrian fight against the terrorists by funding and training the rebel (terrorist) groups in Syria, as admitted by President Obama in his 10 Sept 2014 speech.  This support of the rebel terrorists will prolong the conflict, needlessly furthering the suffering of the Syrian people.
