Meet the 'Midwife' of ISIS; Israeli Secret Intelligence Services

Former DIA Chief Michael Flynn Says Rise of Islamic State was “a willful decision” and Defends Accuracy of 2012 Memo

Lengthy discussion of the DIA memo begins at the 8:50 mark.


In Al Jazeera’s latest Head to Head episode, former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency Michael Flynn confirms to Mehdi Hasan that not only had he studied the DIA memo predicting the West’s backing of an Islamic State in Syria when it came across his desk in 2012, but even asserts that the White House’s sponsoring of radical jihadists (that would emerge as ISIL and Nusra) against the Syrian regime was “a willful decision.”

 Amazingly, Flynn actually took issue with the way interviewer Mehdi Hasan posed the question—Flynn seemed to want to make it clear that the policies that led to the rise of ISIL were not merely the result of ignorance or looking the other way, but the result of conscious decision making:
Hasan: You are basically saying that even in government at the time you knew these groups were around, you saw this analysis, and you were arguing against it, but who wasn’t listening?
Flynn: I think the administration.
Hasan: So the administration turned a blind eye to your analysis?
Flynn: I don’t know that they turned a blind eye, I think it was a decision. I think it was a willful decision.
Hasan: A willful decision to support an insurgency that had Salafists, Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood?
Flynn: It was a willful decision to do what they’re doing.
Israel calls, Congress wags its tail and says, "Yes Sir, What Can We do For Israel Now?!!
BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) -- In the latest event celebrating the "reunification" of Jerusalem in Israel, the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, and the US Congress held a joint live broadcast event marking the occasion on Wednesday, in which leaders from both countries celebrated their shared colonial histories and applauded Israel's control over occupied East Jerusalem.

    When it comes to analyses, Mark has always hit the mark every time. No difference here. I just listened to the past few hours from a man, another fabulous analyst, discuss these same issues. We in the West truly have not a clue just how complicated these issues get over there.

    I don't think Trump gets the finesse (cultural or historical) involved and he thinks purely like a Caucasian dealing with these people not fully comprehending their labyrinthine connections and innate deviousness. Apples and persimmons.

    Still think you have to look to Kushner as well. A different style but his father in law's handler for Chabad?

    From Vietnam, El Salvadore, Iraq, Syria, and ME...the US/Israel trained terrorist group names may change but the fingerprints are the same. [The same fingerprints now on the US Police Force]
