"I think we have to understand first how we got here. We have been arming ISIS (the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) in Syria. ISIS, an al Qaeda offshoot, has been collaborating with the Syrian rebels whom the Obama administration has been arming in their efforts to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad." -Senator Rand Paul, Interview CNN

Did Obama Know that ISIS Planned to Invade Iraq?

Today's head-scratcher: How could a two-mile long column of jihadi-filled white Toyota Land rovers barrel across the Syrian border into Iraq -- sending plumes of dust up into the atmosphere -- without US spy satellites detecting their whereabouts when those same satellites can read a damn license plate from outer space? And why has the media failed to inquire about this massive Intelligence failure?

Anyone who thinks Obama gives a rip about sectarian problems in Iraq needs his head examined. That's the lamest excuse for a policy position since the Bush administration announced they were sending troops to Afghanistan to "liberate" women from having to wear headscarves. If Obama was serious about "inclusive democracy" as he calls it, then he'd withhold the $1.3 billion from his new dictator buddy, Generalissimo al Sisi of Egypt who toppled the democratically-elected government in Cairo, installed himself as top-dog in conspicuously rigged elections, and is now planning to execute 200-plus Egyptians for being members of a party that was legal just a few months ago. Do you think Obama is pestering al-Sisi to be "more inclusive"? No way. He doesn't care how many people are executed in Egypt, any more than he cares whether al Maliki blocks Sunnis from a spot in the government.

What matters to Obama and his deep-state puppetmasters is regime change, that is, getting rid of a nuisance who hasn't followed Washington's directives. That's what this is all about. Obama and Co. want to give al Maliki the old heave-ho because he refused to let US troops stay in Iraq past the 2012 deadline and because he's too close to Tehran. Two strikes and you're out, at least that's how Washington plays the game.

So Maliki has got to go, and all the hoopla over sectarian issues is just pabulum for the News Hour. It means nothing. The real goal is regime change. That, and the partitioning of Iraq. In fact, the de facto partitioning of Iraq has already taken place. The Sunnis have basically seized the part of the country where they plan to live. The Kurds have nailed down their own territory, and the Shia will get Baghdad and the rest, including Basra. So, the division of Iraq is already a done deal, just as long as al Maliki doesn't gum up the works by deploying his army to retake the parts of the country that are now occupied by ISIS. But the Obama team probably won't allow that to happen, mainly because the bigshots in Washington like things the way they are now. They want an Iraq that is broken into smaller chunks and ruled by tribal leaders and warlords.
