[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 2553817, member: 3371"] That's one way of calculating it I suppose. Never have been much of a conspiracy theorist myself so this is how I calculate it: The civil war in Syria is over for the most part. [I](Assad won BTW)[/I] So ISIS decided to turn around and see if they could make better headway in Iraq where their fellow Sunnis would welcome them. The rapidity and violence of their advance in Iraq shocked everyone, to include US officials. What to do? ISIS already has an abundance of small arms including the weapons we left with the Iraqis to defend themselves with. Arming "moderate" forces in the area is much more Anti-ISIS than Anti-Assad. In that part of the world "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" still rules the day. [/QUOTE]
