Could John McCain be Responsible for the Next 9/11?
History is repeating itself in the worst possible way, and if we don't learn our lessons, we could have another 9/11 on our hands a lot sooner than you might think. Today, fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, continued their push towards Baghdad. The group now controls a whole swath of territory ranging from the Euphrates valley in Eastern Syria all the way down to the string of cities surrounding the Iraqi capital.
If you made a list of the nastiest people on earth, ISIS would top the list. The group was actually kicked out of Al-Qaeda for being too extreme and has been pretty open about how it wants to "cleanse" the "filth-ridden" Shia holy cities of Najaf and Karbala. When it comes to terrorist groups, ISIS is really the worst of the worst and threat to everyone everywhere, which makes it all the more the shocking that it's apparently found a friend in none other than Arizona Senator John McCain.
As Steve Clemons has pointed out in a blockbuster piece for the Atlantic, McCain, along with South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, has played a key role in getting the Saudi Arabians and the Qataris, our allies, to arm rebel groups in Syria that are fighting the Iranian-backed government of Bashar al-Assad.
Publicly, the Saudis and the Qataris say they're only sending weapons to "moderate" rebel groups like the Free Syrian Army, but they've also reportedly been arming more extreme groups - groups like the Al-Nusra Front and, you guessed it, ISIS.
