report in 2012 describes it:

https://levantreport.com/2015/05/19/2012-defense-intelligence-agency-doc...

… Astoundingly, the newly declassified report states that for “THE WEST, GULF COUNTRIES, AND TURKEY [WHO] SUPPORT THE [SYRIAN] OPPOSITION… THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING A DECLARED OR UNDECLARED SALAFIST PRINCIPALITY IN EASTERN SYRIA (HASAKA AND DER ZOR), AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE SUPPORTING POWERS TO THE OPPOSITION WANT, IN ORDER TO ISOLATE THE SYRIAN REGIME…”.

The DIA report, formerly classified “SECRET//NOFORN” and dated August 12, 2012, was circulated widely among various government agencies, including CENTCOM, the CIA, FBI, DHS, NGA, State Dept., and many others.

The document shows that as early as 2012, U.S. intelligence predicted the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS), but instead of clearly delineating the group as an enemy, the report envisions the terror group as a U.S. strategic asset.

has been an open secret for quite awhile. It's a feature of our foreign policy, not a bug.

Ironically, in true Brock/Rove fashion, they are now attempting to focus the blame on the party that is least guilty, and give the most egregious a pass.

Agree but there may be opportunities as the Iraqi piece improves. Also, any idea whose fighters attacked Islamist positions in Tripoli, Libya? Worth analyzing for future purposes.

against Qaddafi. They were also responsible for sending weapons and jihadis to exacerbate the conditions in Syria to foment the civil war against Assad.

The CIA, Qatar, and the creation of Jabhat al Nusra.

A recent interview given by, yes, you guessed it: an ‘anonymous’ Qatari security official, has shed further light on CIA-led covert arms shipments to militants fighting in Syria. In this Reuters article, the security official and several ‘anonymous’ rebel Commanders confirm that Qatar has “tightened coordination of arms flows [plural] to Syria,” under alleged concern of weapons ending up in the hands of Al Qaeda linked Islamic extremist militants; the very militants as noted previously, that have continually formed the spearhead of the insurgency against the Syrian Government: (my emphasis)

“Rebel fighters in Syria say that in recent months the system for distributing arms has become more centralized, with arms being delivered through opposition National Coalition’s General Command, led by Selim Idriss, a general who defected to the opposition and is a favorite of Washington.”

What has been long confirmed by ‘official sources’ in the mainstream press, is that these arms shipments commenced in at least “early 2012”. We can be sure, as with the majority of the official timeline, that leeway has been given in these statements: its highly likely smaller arms shipments/smuggling into Syria started much earlier. Statements from eyewitnesses in Libya confirm that arms shipments from the port of Libyan Islamic Fighting Group stronghold Misrata, commenced rapidly after the fall of Gaddafi. Sibel Edmonds also reported in November 2011, long before any corporate media revealed, that the CIA, along with its Turkish and NATO counterparts had been working from the “nerve centre” at the joint US-Turkish air-base in Incerlik, Turkey, since April/May of 2011, coordinating ‘rebel’ elements and ‘activist’s’. Edmonds posits the likely theory that this was one of the initial staging grounds used by the CIA and its regional partners, to smuggle weapons, fighters and materiel into Syria as the insurgency took hold.
...
A fully fledged and totally malleable proxy fighting force, promoting subversion, sectarian division, and outright chaos to gain the desired US objective of the destruction of the Syrian state, ergo: removing a key ally of Iran, and the resistance to western hegemony in the Middle East. When the extremism and brutality become too exposed to allow overt western support, the US designates them “terrorists”, and within a change of clothes, they become the falsehood that is the “FSA”.

Seymour Hersh Says Hillary Approved Sending Libya’s Sarin to Syrian Rebels

according to Seymour Hersh. It was the start of the line that the CIA and the state department used to run weapons out of the embassy after Gaddafi was killed.
Never forget how Hillary laughed after watching the video of his murder. The defender of women and children has killed too many of them.
She definitely knew that the Saudis were arming and funding the terrorists that not only 'attacked' this country, but have been doing the same in many countries.
Remember that Hillary with Obama's approval sold the Saudis $155 billion in weapons when she was secretary of state. After she accomplished that, the Saudis donated millions to her foundation. Does anyone think that the Saudis gave a shit about people dying from AIDS?
Including the sarin gas that was used on the Syrian people so that Obama had an excuse to make his red line statement.
There have been conflicting reports on whether it came from Libya or Turkey, but Hersh writes that it came from Libya.
The so called moderate Syrian rebels are actually members of Al Qaida and its offshoots and they were equipped by the Libyan weapons.

I can't wrap my mind around how anyone can deliberately give an order to kill helpless civilians and in such an insidious and heinous way.
This type of carnage has been going on since this country was formed and its going to continue unless other countries decide that enough is enough and does something to stop it.
The sooner the better for humanity's sake.
