White House purposely arming, training Islamists

As the occupant of the Oval Office tried Sept 10 to convince Americans, and the rest of the world, that the Islamic State (IS) is not Islamic and that his government would arm “moderates” in Syria to fight both the Bashar Assad regime in Syria as well as the IS, his strategy already was being undermined. The “president” said, “Tonight, I call on Congress again to give us additional authorities and resources to train and equip these fighters…we must strengthen the opposition as the best counterweight to extremists like ISIL, while pursuing the political solution necessary to solve Syria’s crisis once and for all.” But as the “president” spoke, those he intended to arm already signed non-aggression agreements with IS.

Agence France-Press reported on September 12, “Syrian rebels and jihadists from the Islamic State have agreed a non-aggression pact for the first time in a suburb of the capital Damascus, a monitoring group said on Friday. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the ceasefire deal was agreed between IS and moderate and Islamist rebels in Hajar al-Aswad, south of the capital. Under the deal, “the two parties will respect a truce until a final solution is found and they promise not to attack each other because they consider the principal enemy to be the Nussayri regime.” Nussayri is a pejorative term for the Alawite sect, and offshoot of Shiite Islam to which President Bashar al-Assad belongs.”

The Middle East Eye, Orient Net, and the Huffington Post report various versions of the agreement. For example, Orient Net published a list of the 11 clauses to the ceasefire agreement. The site reported that al-Nusra Front – the militant group that on Thursday released 42 UN peacekeepers captured in the Golan Heights, had mediated between the two sides. Huffington Post and Middle East Eye reported that Charles Lister, an analyst at the Brookings Institute, says the alliance on the rebel side was made up of four distinct groups, among them the US-backed Syria Revolutionary Front. Aaron Klein of WorldNet Daily reports that Jordan is concerned that the US “president’s” plan will arm mostly “extremists.”

In other words, these “moderates” are actually extremists who will be obliged to receive US training, weapons and money, but will not lift a trigger finger toward eradicating the IS. The “president” appears to be out-flanked by a more intelligent and cunning enemy. This, however, is not likely. It is more likely that the US “president” is continuing his Arab Spring strategy repackaged so the American people and an ineffectual Congress can swallow the sugar-coated poison that a Muslim-born and raised “president” is spoon feeding the infidels. When reading Ezekiel 38-39, many may wonder how those nations received their earthly power to attack Israel–to me, it is becoming quite obvious. Matthew 24:4: “Take heed that no man deceive you.” The words of Jesus are good enough for me.

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
