    HOW OBAMA AIDED ISIS

    HOW OBAMA AIDED ISIS


    Exclusive: Joseph Farah asks if president was intent on helping terror group all along

    JOSEPH FARAH

    Perhaps the single costliest, most demonstrable crime of Barack Obama’s time in office is what he did to fuel the rise of the army of the Islamic State in Syria, which now threatens to take over Syria, Iraq and other Middle East while murdering thousands and posing an extreme terrorist threat to the U.S.

    Obama claims not to have seen this coming.

    But others certainly did.

    Two years ago, I pointed out that Obama was, in effect, siding “with al-Qaida and other Muslim Brotherhood terrorist groups in the effort to overturn the regime of Bashar Assad” by intervening in the civil war in Syria.

    “As a Syrian-American myself, I have watched Bashar al-Assad and his father before him murder their own rebellious citizens,” I wrote in August 2012. “I’ve seen them turn away visitors to Syria based on their religious beliefs. I’ve seen them host various terrorist groups. I’ve seen them impose their will on neighboring Lebanon. I’ve seen them assassinate political opponents.”

    For two generations, I had observed the atrocities of the Assad leadership – deploring its alliance with Iran and Hezbollah and police-state tactics.

    Nevertheless, it was easy to see U.S. intervention against Assad would not only result in “incomparably worse leadership than Assad” but an existential threat to every Christian in the region, I explained.

    “America has no interests in toppling Assad,” I wrote. “Only a nation that wanted to provoke instability in the Middle East would be backing the Muslim Brotherhood. And maybe that’s what Barack Obama wants. How else can one explain America’s bizarre actions in the region?”

    That wasn’t the first time I had warned about the U.S. meddling in Syria.

    In June of 2012, I wrote: “There’s a certain eery consistency to the Obama administration’s foreign policy. It’s always wrong. U.S. support for the rebellion in Syria is a sad illustration. Now, don’t get me wrong. I have always been a staunch critic of Bashar al-Assad and his tyrant father before him. But, in the Middle East, the choice is often between bad and worse. And, predictably, Barack Obama has chosen worse by siding with Islamists over the authoritarian dictator with plenty of faults of his own.”

    Sometimes I hate being right, but the handwriting was already clearly on the wall.

    “For Americans, our prime concern should be humanitarian in a conflict like this,” I wrote more than two years ago. “While Syria is an anti-Semitic and anti-Israel police state, what will inevitably follow the fall of Assad will make the current regime look like a benevolent picture of stability by comparison.”

    I further predicted a Christian genocide in the Middle East if the Syrian regime fell.

    Did I have a crystal ball? No. Did I have access to intelligence briefings not available to Obama? No. Did I divine this information through supernatural powers? No.

    I saw all this coming simply by understanding the players and knowing the conditions of the region.

    I also questioned Obama’s justification for his plan to bomb Syria two years ago. Back then, he wanted to bomb Assad’s forces. Today he is talking about bombing ISIS forces in Syria. Why was he hell-bent on bombing the wrong side in the civil war? He claimed it was because Syria had chemical weapons and used them. This from the man who steadfastly opposed the war in Iraq, a nation that also had chemical weapons and used them against the Kurdish population and Iran before that.

    Obama forgot about his plan to bomb Syria when the plan was condemned by many in Congress, but he did arm the Syrian opposition. Those weapons, some of them very sophisticated, have all wound up in the hands of ISIS, which was always the strongest component of the anti-Assad forces.

    Maybe it was just incompetence by Obama when he pushed all the wrong buttons leading to the empowerment of ISIS.

    Maybe it was just gross negligence on the part of Obama and his administration that directly resulted in the rise of ISIS.

    Maybe it was just his inexperience or detachment or lack of sophistication that led to the new killing fields of the Middle East.

    But his policies in Syria and Iraq over the last two years have resulted in a bloodbath that shows no signs of abating. His administration is floundering in its response, refusing pleas for rearmament and aid by the Iraqi government and the Kurds.

    The reality is that Obama could not have done any more to help ISIS if it were his intent.

    And that raises the unavoidable and uncomfortable question: Was it his intent?

    ISIL executes dozens of soldiers in Syria army

    Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) fighters have executed dozens of members of the Syrian army they captured after seizing an air base in the northeast of the country, a group monitoring the violence said on Thursday.
    ISIL, a radical offshoot of al-Qaeda, stormed Tabqa air base on Sunday after days of clashes with the army and said it had captured and killed soldiers and officers in one of the fiercest confrontations yet between the two sides.
    The capture of Tabqa, the Syrian army's last foothold in that area, and apparent killing of large numbers of its soldiers shows ISIL's grip on the north of the country. The group has also seized territory in eastern Syria and large areas of neighboring Iraq in recent months.
    The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the conflict using sources on the ground, said the soldiers who were executed had been trying to escape from the airport when they were captured by militant fighters of the ISIL.
    A video posted online by ISIL supporters on Thursday appeared to show members of the group making scores of Syrian army captives walk and run through the desert in their underwear.
    Reuters could not confirm the contents of the video, which was posted on You Tube and social media. It showed at least 135 men, some with their hands on their heads, running barefoot through a desert landscape as armed men jeered them.
    It was not clear what happened to the men afterwards, but photos posted by ISIL supporters online on Wednesday appeared to show them gunning down at least seven members of the army.

    Sectarian insults

    Another video posted online appeared to show the interrogation of at least one Syrian soldier in front of a group of other captured men in their underwear, as voices off camera shout sectarian insults.
    The soldier identifies himself as an officer and says he is from the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam, like President Bashar al-Assad and the majority of high-ranking military officers. ISIL members are Sunni Muslims.
    “Who's your father? Do you know who your father is? You can't possibly know who your father is. You're a bastard,” the interrogator says, using insults suggesting that Alawites are born out of wedlock.
    At one point the soldier briefly looks down at the floor and rubs his eyes, another interrogator throws a metal rod at him, making him flinch and then pay attention to the main interrogator again.
    “How many have you killed? How many have you raped?” the interrogator shouts. The soldier replies: “None. I've been stationed here in the airport.”
    The interrogator asks why the soldier had been fighting on behalf of Assad and did not defect and he replies that he would have just been sent back to the army.
    “They would have sent you right back to the army? And we're going to send you right back to hell: by slaughter,” the interrogator says, making him chant ISIL slogans.
    Syrian state media confirmed the attack on the base but has not reported any deaths or any army members being captured. It has said ISIL suffered heavy losses in the battle over the base.
    Tabqa was the army's last foothold in an area otherwise controlled by the ISIL militants, who aim to set up a trans-border caliphate in the Iraqi and Syrian territory they have captured.
    The United States has carried out air strikes on ISIL in Iraq and has left open the option for similar action in Syria.
