“The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says we need to attack the Sunni militants in Syria. The deputy national security adviser to President Obama says we should go after ISIS in Syria. But the U.S. and our closest allies have long supported Sunni militants. And the U.S. and our closest allies have been arming and training Islamic jihadists in Syria for years. The U.S. is still financing the jihadis in Syria. For example, the government is pushing an additional $500 million in arms to the jihadis. A similar dynamic is operating in Iraq. The U.S. is now arming the Kurdish ‘Peshmerga’. But reports are that Peshmerga are fighting side-by-side with the PKK, a group designated as terrorists.”
