During an appearance on Fox News,
General Thomas McInerney acknowledged that the United States “helped
build ISIS” as a result of the group obtaining weapons from the Benghazi
consulate in Libya which was attacked by jihadists in September 2012.
Asked what he thought of
the idea of arming so-called “moderate” Syrian rebels after FSA
militants kidnapped UN peacekeepers in the Golan Heights, McInerney said
the policy had been a failure.
“We backed I believe in some cases, some of the wrong people and not in the right part of the Free Syrian Army and that’s a little confusing to people, so I’ve always maintained….that we were backing the wrong types.”
Then made reference to a
Bret Baier Fox News special set to air on Friday which will, “show some
of those weapons from Benghazi ended up in the hands of ISIS – so we
helped build ISIS,” said
In May last year, Senator Rand Paul was
one of the first to speculate that the truth behind Benghazi was linked
to an illicit arms smuggling program that saw weapons being trafficked
to terrorists in Syria as part of the United States’ proxy war against
the Assad regime.
“I’ve actually always
suspected that, although I have no evidence, that maybe we were
facilitating arms leaving Libya going through Turkey into Syria,” Paul
told CNN, adding that he “never….quite understood the cover-up — if it
was intentional or incompetence”.
At the same time it emerged that the U.S. State Department had hired an Al-Qaeda offshoot organization, the February 17th Martyrs Brigade, to “defend” the Benghazi Mission months before the attack.
Senator Paul was vindicated
less than three months later when it emerged that the CIA had been
subjecting its operatives to monthly polygraph tests in an effort to
keep a lid on details of the arms smuggling operation being leaked.
CNN subsequently reported that
dozens of CIA agents were on the ground in Benghazi during the attack
and that the polygraph tests were mandated in order to prevent
operatives from talking to Congress or the media about a program that
revolved around “secretly helping to move surface-to-air missiles out of
Libya, through Turkey, and into the hands of Syrian rebels.” Key Syrian
rebel leaders later defected to join ISIS.
In addition to ISIS
obtaining weapons from Benghazi, many members of the group were also
trained by the United States at a secret base in Jordan in 2012.
Aaron Klein was told by
Jordanian officials that, “dozens of future ISIS members were trained
at the time as part of covert aid to the insurgents targeting the regime
of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Syria.”
As we have previously documented,
many of the United States’ biggest allies in the region, including
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Turkey and Qatar, have all bankrolled and armed
ISIS militants.
