Times Insider - What's so funny about politics? Have I got a story for you! I want you to consider the recent Thomas Friedman article, “Why Is Trump Fighting ISIS in Syria?” Then I would like you to consider the following: Tulsi Gabbard introduced the bill HR608: Stop Arming Terrorists Act, in an attempt to stop the US government arming ISIS. As Tulsi said, "If you or I gave money, weapons or support to al-Qaeda or ISIS, we would be thrown in jail. Yet the U.S. government has been violating this law for years, quietly supporting allies and partners of al-Qaeda, ISIL ... and other terrorist groups with money, weapons and intelligence support, in their fight to overthrow the Syrian government."
Now I would like you to consider the Toyota mil spec trucks made in Texas that ISIS is driving; the “accidental” ammunition drops from the US military to ISIS; the leaflets dropped by the US military giving ISIS 30 minutes warning of their impending bombing raid on the convoy of oil trucks filled with oil to be sold in the NATO country Turkey. And it goes on and on . . . So I’ll tell you what is funny, Friedman’s article is far too late; the US government has been funding, arming, and training its number one enemy of the American people for years. So what is Thomas Friedman trying to do? Possible awaken the more imbecilic and immoral to the idea of the US government should be using mercenaries to oust Assad and put in another puppet government to do their bidding on pipeline access. Maybe Friedman believes his article will make the transition to reality easier when the truth becomes inevitable for the majority.
