The US military would never help Al Qaeda. Right?

I know some of you may think that I am some conspiracy nut that probably trolls the dark web for more paranoid conspiracy theories to feed my insatiable, crazy appetite, but I got something for you that checks boxes that you need to see checked.
Guess what the AP says they found?
"...coalition cut secret deals with al-Qaida fighters, paying some to leave key cities and towns and letting others retreat with weapons, equipment and wads of looted cash, an investigation by The Associated Press has found. Hundreds more were recruited to join the coalition itself."
"...But the larger mission is to win the civil war against the Houthis, Iranian-backed Shiite rebels. And in that fight, al-Qaida militants are effectively on the same side as the Saudi-led coalition — and, by extension, the United States."
Now for those of you capable of extrapolating information and applying it to other things... Syria says "Hi." I already knew this to be true, and tried to tell you guys about it for a while now, but the need for mainstream media caused a lot of you to see this as conspiratorial. So, for those that cling to mainstream media, they finally stumbled upon something and someone high up let it go, for reasons unclear to me. We are helping Al Qaeda (and enabling ISIS) in order to fight against Iran. We pretend that Iran supports terrorists, but the truth is we support terrorism against them. Read.
Eventually, history will show everyone just how unbelievably disgusting US policy in Yemen has been. Police shooting, separating families at the border, school shootings, all of this pales in comparison to the nightmare we are contributing to in Yemen. Pre-meditated extermination. TARGETING civilians. Using Cholera as a weapon.
Helping AL QAEDA. This is not an exaggeration.

Funny how Al Qaeda isn't our enemy. Like 9/11 never happened

Iran doesn't attack us. They are the enemy. Al Qaeda did, they are our friend?
That perspective is absolute madness.

The US basically created Al Qaeda with their efforts to thwart the Soviets in Afghanistan.

the "War on Terror" was a serious thing. Go ask a stranger if the people who bombed us on 9/11 are our allies.
Very few Americans are aware that we actually fund terrorism and fight alongside them. This looks "crazy" to the average person.

an effort to defeat the Sandanistas. The Contras just happened to keep their terrorist activity south of the border.

That's the problem. Short-term thinking leads to long-term problems. And short-term solutions to fix those problems create a snowball effect. Hence, ISIS, Al Qaeda, etc. They only exist because of the West. There was no significant, international radical islamic terrorism before the 1970's.

Care to share how you feel about the US working with terrorists? Or is that not really a noteworthy topic in your opinion?

Aug 7, 2018, 2:29 PM

I start a thread about something. Someone else calmly deflects from the issue and makes a sarcastic point about a different topic. I calmly ask if he has anything to say about the original topic, and somehow this convinces you to reiterate your personal meme about being triggered.
If there is any thought process at all to this, I admit it is way over my head. From my perspective, it looks like random, pre-teen flippancy.
You can stand up now.

Your intentional avoidance of the content of the AP
Aug 9, 2018, 10:14 AM
|

article is telling.
You could say anything you want about the topic, or nothing at all. Instead, you go for a lazy straw man. Do your intellectual standards fluctuate depending on degree of difficulty?
Do you have anything direct and serious to say, or should I just assume that you condone the US working with Al Qaeda?

It's funny the trance people go in when they see information that they can't possibly process or reconcile.
You guys are not addressing this extremely disturbing news at all. Instead, you are grasping for some pathetic straw-man as if it helps you avoid reality. You guys can't even spot your own obvious pathological behavior.

I'v lived long enough to know how brutal and unethical...
Aug 7, 2018, 2:40 PM

our government is. Nothing surprises me anymore. I know how unscrupulous our reps in the state and fed gov are.
I'll complain a lot more about what a man does than the country that gave me such opportunity.
I pray for all the representatives in DC because they are human. I could pray about the US of A but that's controlled by the reps so when I mention this country to my Father it's always thanks to Him that I was born here because that's much more accurate than praying it quits sinning against the world.
I don't worship man. We can't and shouldn't be helping those 'citizens of the world,' who can help themselves.* We should provide our needy with opportunity if they are able to word. We are not doing a good job at that. Before we do a good job of handling our internal problems we should behave in the world community in such a manner as to serve our best interest.
I think most presidents try to do that.
* We fought our way to freedom and did the best job in history of setting up a government. They can too. I'm thinking Syria, Iran and other dictatorships including China.

I didn't refuse to acknowledge anything. The article you linked didn't say the US has weaponized Cholera.
In another post to yourself below, you mention that there is wide-spread Cholera outbreak and that the limiting of imports may be contributing to that. Is that anywhere at all the same as "weaponizing Cholera"?

Haha, what difference are you trying to create here?
The Coalition intentionally made the cholera epidemic worse. That killed more people than the US cluster bombs they (The Saudis) were dropping on hospitals, schools and weddings.
What exactly do you need to hear to justify someone "weaponizing cholera" if not intentionally exacerbating it in order to kill people during war. You thought I meant they smeared Cholera jelly on bombs? Be serious.
