General Wesley Clark: ISIS Serves Interests Of US Allies Turkey And Saudi Arabia
Submitted by Claire Bernish via TheAntiMedia.org,
"Let’s be very clear: ISIS is not just a terrorist organization; it is a Sunni terrorist organization. That means it blocks and targets Shi’a. And that means it’s serving the interests of Turkey and Saudi Arabia - even as it poses a threat to them." - Retired Gen. Wesley Clark
Former NATO Supreme Allied Commander General and retired U.S. General Wesley Clark revealed in an interview with CNN that the Islamic State (Daesh, ISIS) remains geostrategically imperative to Sunni nations, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, as they clamor for strategic power over Shi’a nations, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. He explained that “neither Turkey nor Saudi Arabia want an Iran-Iraq-Syria-Lebanon ‘bridge’ that isolates Turkey, and cuts Saudi Arabia off.”
When asked by the CNN host if Russian President Vladimir Putin’s suggestion that Turkey was “aiding ISIS” had any validity, he responded:
“All along there’s always been the idea that Turkey was supporting ISIS in some way. We know they’ve funneled people going through Turkey to ISIS. Someone’s buying that oil that ISIS is selling; it’s going through somewhere - it looks to me like it’s probably going through Turkey - but the Turks haven’t acknowledged that.”
After explaining this virtual gateway for the Islamic State’s oil, Clark was quick to emphasize that Putin’s allegations about Turkey’s support for terrorist organization, ISIS, aren’t without their own hypocrisy. Russia, of course, has been upholding President Bashar al-Assad’s administration in Syria against rebel groups backed by the U.S. — despite continuing denials by U.S. officials that that particular theater is its primary interest in the region.
He said, “Putin would like to dirty Turkey by saying it’s supporting terrorists, but the truth is that he’s supporting terrorists. I mean, the tactics used by the Assad regime have been terror tactics. They’re dropping barrel bombs on innocent civilians.”
Clark concludes the interview with a statement that encapsulates growing sentiment of many Westerners who’ve grown war-weary with such geopolitical wrangling overseas:
“There’s no good guy in this - this is a power struggle for the future of the Middle East.”

It's all because certain individuals make a fuckload of money off of things being the way they are.
It's not that complicated.
If Russian allegations are correct. Clark is being a little disingenuous by saying Turkey was to blame for the shoot down and not Nato. Russia claims information was relayed to Nato on the SU-24 exact location at the time. There were two AWACS flying around in the area. One was an American plane and the other from Saudi Arabia. Did these AWACS give the Turkish jet fighter the coordinates to shoot down the SU-24? If they did then Nato is an accessory to murder.
So? What's one murder in a million?
A fraction of a statistic.
Would you be saying that if it was a Russian jet fighter that downed a American F16 and killed the pilot?
Wesley Clark is a NWO puke and always struck me as a bit of a fag, I guess because some fag rag interviewed him when he was casting about for support for a presidential race. During that time he suddenly discovered he is really a JEW. This shitbird will do or say anything for the System. Piss on him and his "word".
