This is pathetic, 9-11 terror guys weren't trained by the U.S. Military and didn't use our military equipment...

While the issues are far more complex than this. I feel like we need the Prime Directive here and now for just earth >.>

Ton of shit left out but whatever. Who needs facts.

As someone who worked for the Free Syrian Army in DC this was something we could never get them to do...

Repeat ad nauseum

Yup.

US govt support went exclusively to Afghan fighters, NOT to the foreign Arab volunteers who later coalesced into Al Qaeda after the war.

Often the narrative is that the vacuum left in the wake of regime change allows those foreign actors to gain power.

This is important...

Nobody will learn. We've been making that mistake since the 1800s with Indian tribes. Also, Black Hawk Down was from American weapons.
siler7
What? I remember reading about RPGs and AKs.
trolololono
Our RPGs.
siler7
I'm not sure you know what an RPG is.
trolololono
Rocket propelled grenade... It's a type of weapon that we are more than capable of producing.

"Mistake" as if the US citizens have a choice.These 'Mistakes' are bringing in profits for Corporations. money = US & other innocent lives

The US military sells the weapons... there's actually alot of history here that's political and ties back to the cold war (it was bloody).

Most people do not realize it but the reason north Korea and the middle east is the way it is in most cases a war instigated by the us.
nanyatenyaa
For silly political reasons like "communism is bad" so the us burned down a chunk of Korea when China was absent from the UN sec. Council.
Blue4Five
Well, it's the truth.
eeddwwiinn
Well, not really. It's not even the tip of the iceberg .
Blue4Five
Did you live through that time? Because I did - while it wasn't the weapons or training, it was that we did nothing except let them thrive

to put it very shortly in a small imgur box
Riddiculous
Whether or not people agree with what I say, doesn't change the reality that because IS now has a state that they will be more occupied
Riddiculous
With trying to keep that caliphate in place, so that's where their resources will be given. This means that if that state fell but the
Riddiculous
Ideology/leadership remained. That they would simply go the al-Qaeda route and focus much more on foreign attacks. Only difference is
Riddiculous
That IS has far more resources than al-Qaeda and have pretty much captured an entire (al though small) sect of Islam under their control.
Riddiculous
This is why, I think foreign intervention and a quick "wiping out" of IS will actually work against everyone. It's a better strategy to
Riddiculous
Kill the Saudi sponsored wahabbi ideology, followed by (I know people won't like it) supporting the Assad regime and Iran.
