Since 2003, when Iraqi Kurdistan was deemed the "success story" of the war, the region has been propped up as an example of the U.S.’s good intentions by those trying to rationalize military force, particularly conservative American policy makers. This has largely crafted the region's image. Because Kurdistan was doing so well relative to the rest of Iraq, it was mostly spared scrutiny from watchdog groups and journalists, who often romanticize the region, obscuring its failings and depriving large populations of alienated Kurds a role in shaping Kurdistan's future by criticizing the present. | ||

It's pretty much like someone else in this thread said. While they look great compared to the mess around them, the Kurds are not the region's second Israel, they are more like the region's Albania. | ||

I might want to add too since no one again on here even seems to bring it up but Israel does NOT represent Judaism and it is NOT A JEWISH STATE. Israel is a Zionist state created by American and European powers. The current Israeli regime along with the current government in The United States is also Zionist. Zionist use the ignorance of humans on subjects like religion to exploit differences between people and ultimately leads to war. The current Israel governemnt is hiding behind Judaism as an excuse. Religion is just being exploited once again. People in America today are just willfully ignorant that their own government is undermining the world, always have been. If you actually do your reading and research you will find out the CIA and Mossad have been very successful in assassinating world leaders since the 1950s. Its nothing new and people need to WAKE UP. I recommend this documentary especially on the CIA using American Corporations as fronts for doing their dirty work titled "Confessions of an Economic HItman" Please if you have time read these links related the CIA creation of ISIS http://moroccantimes.com/2014/07/nsa-documents-reveal-isis-leaderabu-bakr-al-baghdadi-trained-israeli-mossad/ http://www.globalresearch.ca/who-is-abu-musab-al-zarqawi-from-al-zarqawi-to-al-bagdahdi-the-islamic-state-is-a-cia-mossad-mi6-intelligence-asset/5391731 User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Well the borders between the different are sometimes blurry, and in the beginning some of the support for the rebels probably also went to Al-Nusra. But I am pretty sure Turkey favored other groups over them. They also declared them a terrorist organisation now and arrested some of their members. Also ISIS was a competitor to Nusra and fought them. ISIS won and recruited some of the former Nusra fighters, especially the foreign ones. | ||

BEIRUT: Hezbollah Chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has accused Lebanese parties of continuing to support Syrian militants, highlighting Qatari and Turkish support for the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria while insisting Saudi Arabia fears ISIS. “Lebanese parties are still sponsoring armed Syrian militants militarily and financially, [providing] guidance and [encouraging] intervention” Nasrallah said in the second installment of an interview set to be published Friday by local daily Al-Akhbar. “Turkey and Qatar are supporting ISIS, and I am convinced that Saudi Arabia fears it,” he said. Source (Reuters) - Syrian government forces backed by Lebanon's Hezbollah took control of a town just outside Damascus from Islamist fighters on Thursday, a blow to the rebels who had held it for more than a year. Syrian state television broadcast showed government soldiers in the streets of Mleiha, which lies on the edge of the eastern Ghouta region near Damascus airport and had been surrounded by President Bashar al-Assad's forces. Buildings were damaged or reduced to rubble, and tanks patrolled the streets. Mleiha, about 7 km (4 miles) from the heart of Damascus, has formed a base for rebel fighters to bombard the capital with mortars in Syria's three-year-old civil war. The Britain-based, pro-opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said government warplanes attacked several areas in the town. A Syrian rebel source said government forces had taken most of Mleiha and were using planes to attack the last point of resistance. Some of the rebels pulled out to nearby villages. Source | ||

Could you back it up without using known new world order sources like globalresearch.ca and controversial and at least partially conspiratorial people like John Perkins? I believe that Snowden is a relatively trustworthy source and the shit CIA did and does (Torture Report anyone? Illegal domestic sourveillance activity? Just the tip of the iceberg and some of the most well-documented official scandals.) is pretty well problematic in a lot of ways regardless. But the specific story has not been confirmed. In fact Glenn Greenwald has used twitter to respond to it, though it is a reference and very short: + Show Spoiler + The answer from Ben Wizner is "hoax" for those who cannot or don't want to read it As for his take on Saudi Arabia it is that USA is not fighting, but helping them (as has been the story line in western media forever). | ||

It's not impossible that there is a link between the Mossad and ISIS. They already used djihadists to kill civilians involved in the Iranians nuclear program. | ||

Now reports of ISIS being israeli agents. Here is a very wild wild idea. Maybe they are disenfranchised sunnis hellbent on making a Caliphate. Just a wild guess. Dont ask where I got this idea from. | ||
