Don't want the ME History 001 lines then quit with the conspiracy theories that would get you laughed out of high school model UN. Because you obviously have trouble with the basic facts of what is going on in the region. If you can't even grasp the basic realities of the region before flying off the handle something is seriously wrong on your end.
The US isn't arming ISIS as you have repeatedly claimed. None of the links you have posted from reputable sources have made that claim or back up your delusions. The US isn't "lock step" with Erdo?an and the fact you posted that shows you have no clue what the eff you are talking about. So before you start questioning someone else's credibility, make damn sure you don't crap all over yourself with these kinds of basic bitch mistakes.
Yes, when I want a conspiracy, the first place I look is Amnesty International.
Model UN?
Again, and this is not very difficult for most people to understand. There's simply no way anyone but an absolute idiot would think that U.S. weapons wouldn't end up in the hands of ISIS given the level of involvement from so many entities of the U.S. government being involved in moving arms into the region. No one but an absolute idiot wouldn't think that U.S. weapons originally intended for say the Iraqi military couldn't or wouldn't be diverted into the wrong hands. Just because YOU choose to believe what's spoon fed you by official government sources and you're entire prism of "knowledge" of the area is straight out of the textbook doesn't mean that matches reality. Apparently edn lives in a pollyannish little world where plausible deniability doesn't exist, everything is cut and dry, black and white, good guys in one uniform bad guys in another.
Way to totally misapply the usage of the word "lock step" I DID NOT say that the U.S. was in "LOCK STOP" with Erdogan on all things, I said the U.S. was in "lock step" in regards to calling for everyone to support Erdogan. It's only lost on idiots such as yourself that the Obama administration always manages to call for support of regimes who either lean or very heavily lean towards conservative Islamic theocracy. Look no further then Syria, golly no one is stunned (except EDN) that the U.S. wants to remove the secular leaning regime of Bashar Al-Assad. No one (except EDN) was surprised when the Obama administration supported the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and all of sudden ultra-conservative Salafists were the toast of the U.S. embassy. Oh but if we just give them a seat at the table they'll change their ways, they'll stop hating women, they'll welcome people who have alternative life styles with open arms!! . . . who can argue with that logic?
I can hear it now, "Oh but Dax look at how tough Obama has been with the Saudi's, really giving them the old cold shoulder lately. Isn't that getting tough with ultra-conservative theocrats?" Yep, so much "tough love" we're still shipping them billions of dollars worth of weapons.
