Enemy s capabilities. so the pentagon inspector general has been poring over emails and they are comparing the assessment cia analysts did about what was going on on the ground with isis versus the reports that their supervisors filed to the white house and others and saying there is a big discrepancy there. why would somebody be trying to paint a rosier picture and who would authorize such a thing? the first answer is they wanted to please the obama administration. if you look at president obama s messaging. al qaeda is on the run and nearing defeat. isis is on its heels. this is the messaging out of the white house the last few years it s not surprising some folks ....
Bashar al assad. it sure appears that way. if you look at the target sets on both day, neither of these appear to be isis targets. you can t say the russians don t know what they re striking. they ve got access to syrian, iraqi and iranian intelligence. they know who s on the ground where. so when they launch these strikes, they know they re going after anti-regime rebels. i think they re just paying lip service to this isis thing. much like the turks did with the isis versus the pkk. repeat, paul, that reuters report that hundreds of iranian troops are in syria right now. they re ready to start a ground war, if you will, against bashar al assad s opponents, including u.s.-backed rebels, if you will, joining hezbollah fighter flps could be a real escalation of what s going on if the russian air force attacks from the air and these other elements attack from the ground. well, that s absolutely right, wolf. that could be really severe unintended consequences here. ....
We are going to train up the locals in tickets difficult in syria because our fight is against isis but the syrian rebels to a large extent are interested in bringing down assad, rather than necessarily going over isis. some of them in order to survive go back and forth between the two groups. this is the problem that we have, when we vet and figure out who is really going to go after isis versus this whole assad issue going on, the group gets narrower and narrower because we don t want to train these people to be fighting assad, rather than our primary concern, which is to go after isis. so this is one of the reasons why just the vetting process has been incredible and we really haven t been able to get the people into the training group and then once we train them, they re not necessarily again doing what it is that we need, what our fight is against isis. and so i always thought that ....
Them come on the counterpunch. tonight we re looking obviously to see which ch of these candidates will make the highlight reel tomorrow morning on the today show and on news shows across america. who is going to be paired up against donald trump and get their coverage that way? as a former party chair, michael steele what about the format? i mean, is this the place in 110 minutes divided by 10 is this the place where you re going to get, you know how to evaluate the threat of isis versus core al qaeda or whether the iran deal is the right thing or whether planned parenthood really spends any non-federal any federal money on abortion? i don t think you will. i think you re going to get the top line talking points to use, an unfortunate term. it s going to be that what they can say in the first 30 seconds and then they ll fill it out in the next 30 seconds. so the real moment can come to, to steve s point if there s a ....
Last one came out last december. there has not been a new one since. now of course times are a little different in apocalyptic death cult terrorist circles. the new international upstart is isis. the different kind of appeal being made by isis versus al qaeda, consider that are al qaeda called its magazine inspire. isis calls its magazine armageddon armageddon. dabq. that s not a literal translation but beak the same idea. the final battle between chist and the anti-christ at the end of the world. the word armageddon comes from a specific place, a place caused an tell magee doe which is basically a hill in northern israel, a strategically important spot. in terms of biblical prophecy, that hill is supposed to be ....
