Senate Holds Hearing On Farcical US ISIS "Strategy" - Live Feed
The US hasn't been very effective when it comes to "fighting" ISIS. Baghdadi's army hasn't been "degraded" much less "destroyed" as the Obama administration promised some 15 months ago, Mosul and Raqqa are still firmly under Islamic State's control, and, perhaps most importantly, the illicit oil business is booming (thanks Erdogan).
Over the past three months or so, US lawmakers began to ask questions about why the overall strategy has failed and more specifically, about, i) why The Pentagon's $500 million "train and equip" program turned out to be "a joke," and ii) why Centcom's reports to the President and to Congress always seemed to indicate that things were going fine when in fact, nothing was actually getting done.
On Wednesday, the Senate Armed Services Committee is holding a hearing on America's ISIS "strategy." You can watch this bit of Capitol Hill comedy gold live below.

Hey, we haven't had a mass shooting in a few days. Isn't it about time for our weekly gun grabbing false flag?
It's only Wednesday. Sheesh.
For the USA, Syria is a bust flush and you’re playing two other guys, one of whom is all in, and the other just called it. The smart move here is to fold.
There will always be another hand.

Have we become a rogue nation ?
"This way to the Ash Carter Donkey Show!"
Now, that's something I would watch.
Blind criticizing the Blind.
Cant watch.
Still a little queasy from last night's beers.
Hearing McStain or Graham would make me puke.
What do you think 9/11 The False Flag Operation == Coup meant?
What do you mean "we", paleface?
Who names their kids, "Ashton" besides Ivy League dickweeds, and Ivy League dickweed wannabes???
The level of cultural inbreeding is just staggering!!!

Edit: Hey Clooney, the answer to your question is "yes".
This article/video is very weird, surreal, like a twilight zone episode where everything is flipped inside out, upside down, like an alternate dimension.
Gotta love the reverse ace. He "knew" all about the oil tankers. Everyone else acted like it was a minor detail that wasn't worthy of their attention. So why didn't anyone ask where those tankers were going, who exactly is buying the oil and thru what proxiez and beardz are the fundz exchanged?
They need to do it with a non-Muslim patsie this time, though. That whole ISIS/Muslim connection in the last one really backfired on them.
When they had the insane white kid shoot up a black church... now that one had teeth. They need to do moar of that.
MSNBS will pull a TRUMP and call for a ban on white people.
I am betting the next dude will be Latino.
Hmmm...gottah make sure the slobs do not forget to hate Mexicans.
Didn't you hear? Latinos are white. Just ask George Zimmerman.
We need a real fuckinmg Latino then. Some Tony Orlando dude with a taco hanging out of his mouth.
Okay, that was funny.
I'm sure they can dig someone up...
Juan Valdez with a belt/vest bomb...Viva Allllllllah!
His donkey loaded up with IEDs they plant along the roadside.
Stop. Please stop. I'm laughing so hard people in the office are asking me "what's so funny?"
"CNBC" needs to change their name---sounds raycisst to me.
They're still holding auditions for the actors, give'm a minute...

Ass Carter, "We're going to take the potato chips out of their baloney sandwhiches"...
haha, but they are Hoaxes, not false flags. Hoaxes with pathetic crisis actors.
"Hey, we haven't had a mass shooting in a few days. Isn't it about time for our weekly gun grabbing false flag?"
The smokescreen of 2nd Amendment debate is only used when both parties' attempts to grab our 4th Amendemnet rights meets resistance.
It's obvious and simple: when news starts mentioning ACLU's or SCOTUS' defense of citizens from government spying, another attack, or another distraction is imminent.
Both parties support grabbing our 4th Amendment rights, and that is how you can recognize it as the real target. Our personal information is the key to unlimited wealth and power - the ultimate bargaining chip. Just the electorate mood data alone is incredibly valuable and that's only the tiniest shred of our personal lives.
Yes, yes.

My last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out. This is what I do... www.wallstreet34.com
Does the 20 hours include the time she stands on a street corner, or is it limited to the time she spends on her back with the Johns?
"Hey, we haven't had a mass shooting in a few days. Isn't it about time for our weekly gun grabbing false flag?"
Thought I would my (limited) expertise in the area. If they want constant terror in the public consciousness, they would be using the spaced-repetition technique to store the images and feelings of terror permanently.
Typically, the Ebbinghaus curve is used to keep the initial narrative in the consciousness, so an event has to be played to the public through the media as a primary headline for at least 4 days consecutively. You will note that this does happen in the msm.
Then if the narrative needs to be either refreshed or used to induce cumulative hysteria in the long term memory of the public, they might use the Pimsleur's graduated-interval recall. Typically we can expect another similar occurrence in 5 days (Did not occur), 25 days, 4 months and 2 years.
So, IF the propagandists want this narrative to continue and IF they are using this technique and IF they are using Pimsleur's graduated-interval recall, we can expect a similar occurrence on:
I vote 27th December 2015.
Everybody's home to see it on the telly.
You're really onto something with the spaced-repetition theory.. To get the exact ratio we just need to compare to previous spacings and work out the pattern.
Also, the 5-day attack DID happen, just in another country:

It doesn't have to be US as long as it holds headlines.
So Who's Really Sponsoring ISIS?
It is well established that America and its allies founded and funded ISIS and still fund it today. The senate hearing is a total farce:

ISIS sells crude oil to Turkey and Israel to raise money. Of course, the US is aware of that and can easily stop these sales if it wanted to.
The so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria(ISIS) began selling Iraqi crude oil extracted from oil fields which its seized in recent months and exporting it through the Kurdish region to Turkish refineries and from Turkey's Mediterranean port of Ceyhan ultimately to Israel.

Excellent post. Copied and will paste often.ol

US "strategy":
Attack Russia, who happens to be the only nation effectively attacking ISIS.
More like a 'stragedy'...
They're trying to figure out how they can get moar weapons into the hands of CIA-ISIS without Putin blowing them up.
Was hoping someone would give me $500 million to 'train and equip'. Who wants to help me start a CIA-funded terror group? I mean we're on ZH and gun-owners, that makes us terrists right?
www.prosper.com
Lol
Undoubtedly
Maybe you should try crowd funding.
For automatic funding at the $500 million level, change your name to Solyndra.
long Toyota and Kriss.
They need a drummer to provide 'rimshots' after many of the coments that will be made in this hearing.
Since when did Reggie start playing the drums?
Rimshot Reggie?
I think the world your are looking for is "rimjob."
I would like to tune in and catch this hearing. Is it on the Comedy Central Channel??
It's on NBC so yeah.
I just laughed out loud. Thx Doc!
Pentagon strategy:
“You want a fight, ...? Let’s fight to make sure that […] the arms merchants in our own country stop feeding the countless wars that rage across the globe. […] Let’s fight to make sure our so-called allies in the Middle East […] stop oppressing their own people, and suppressing dissent, and tolerating corruption and inequality […] so that their youth grow up without education, without prospects, without hope, the ready recruits of terrorist cells.”
oh wait ... that quote was Obama in 2002
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99591469
Now it's 'send in the drones and spec op assassins'.
[if they were 'christians', they wouldn't mind being bombed, invaded, and occupied, or being ruled by foreign-supported tyrants. As 'christians' we wouldn't bear any ill will toward any who did that to us. As David Cameron recently declared "it's not because what we do, it's because who we are".]
reminds me of the time jimmy carter attacked iran with three helicopters sans air filters. good times.
Most of the credit for that belongs to the geniuses in the pentagram that prepares for any eventuality.
To be fair, the helicopter spec did not include air filters. The MIC wanted a 10 year cost plus plan to develop special high performance MIC grade filters. So it was a case of "Oh fuck it. Let's just do it. What can possibly go wrong."
Hear we go! McPhysco on the war path again. Can he be any more obvious. False Flag in San Bernardino - check, New Strategy - check, boots on the ground - check, blank check - double check.
I seriously hope Russia wipes these fuckers off the planet. Starting with McPhysco.
McCain wants to know-- how long before WE retake Mosul and Raqqa? I thought Iraq kicked us out? McCain wants to "Americanize" this thing also. And Carter says Europe not spending enough money on their military commitments.
Arsch Carter: "Strategy consists of drastic cuts to ISIS funding. Their budget next fiscal year only three percent to increase. This cut will be crippling ... sorry, I mean alternative abilifying."
I don't like being a grammar nazi, but for god's sake at least spell the man's name correctly. It's Ass Carter.
Arsch is German for Ass.

Why are Muslims being settled all over the world? They're in South Korea, did you know that? WTH are they doing there?
Another ZHer just posted Latin Arabia blog's link, which I never knew about. What are Muslims doing in South America?
What on earth is going on?
Perhaps Islam is now the NWO religion to be used for a new Crusades? A new version of God's (Demiurge) chosen ones?
Maybe they are acting just like all other people? And doing so for reasons that have nothing to do with religions, same as most of us live our lives?
Can you name a religion or nationality which does not live in every country other than Anartica or Iceland?
Why are Jews being settled all over the world? They're in South Korea, did you know that? WTH are they doing there?
Why are Christians being settled all over the world? They're in South Korea, did you know that? WTH are they doing there?
Why are Americans being settled all over the world? They're in South Korea, did you know that? WTH are they doing there?
What on earth is going on?
More meeting and more bombs. Yes, that should fix the problem. Plus of course more money to be thrown around for those with a stake in all the carnage.
Fucken dog and pony show.
Both characters completely devoid of leadership.
The type of void that leads to the downfall of any organization.
Embarrassingly, a void being filled with honesty from their "enemies".
Fucked up.
Why not just ask, "Why are you funding and supporting ISIS, yet claim to be fighting them?"
Another good question would be, "How do you sleep at night knowing that you and your ilk are responsible for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of deaths of innocent civilians in the Middle East at the hands of the Wahabiasts that you have armed and supported?"
The answer of course is Ambien. What percentage of Americans are on some sort of prescription drug?
These people are ignorant, callous, uncultured, barbarous, phychos. McCaskill is another Physcho.
McCain and McCaskill are the McPsycho twins. What are these people's qualifications? Head up ass = Congressman.
been listening to the hearings...not once did anyone say why dont we just get the hell out of there since this has nothing to do with national defense, and let these tribes fight it out, as they have been for the last 1500 years
+ 10000000000000000000000
What's the point of having these hearings? They just can talk as much bullshit as they wish. I don't get it.
Carter said most migrants are young male professionals looking for work in Europe.
McCaskill says we can destroy oil trucks now because we've driven them out of city centers where they were hiding.
I didn't make this up although I have gone insane now.
putin needs to storm in the room, hand everyone some paper/crayons & say: "go in the corner & color me some pretty pictures! the grownups are trying to work..."
If only Congress would get off it's ass and appropriate the money Obama requested to hire more Twitterers for the hashtag assault he has planned for the Spring campaign.
My strategy is simple bomb SA, Qatar and Turkey and any other country and individual who help ISIS one way or the other.
Yeah, why not to create more wars? Very cool. :( That's actually what they want. Public to approve war, right?
I guess the US should stop all connections with Saudis and Turks... but you know... not gonna happen. That's not the plan!
Agree, the US should bomb itself.
Agree, the US should bomb itself the Whitehouse bedroom.
Terribly weak testimonial it seems - hard to believe this guy is defense secretary..
He perfectly consistent with Obama's bar scene in Star Wars cabinet. What about,
Jeh's Johson?

Isn't Jeh something else? His background as a Wall Street corporate lawyer is simply perfect for HLS, don't ya think?
I feel ever so safe now that the Senate are on the Ball, grasped the nettle!
In order to get the job at DOD, for which he is totally unqualified to lead, he had to let Joe "Bite-Me" Biden sleep with his wife 12 times. Biden started the feeling up process before national TV, as Ashole was sworn in.
During his visit to Ukraine, Biden said
"I communicate more with the President than my wife does with me."
I guess that makes it official. Biden's wife does not have access to vast untouched oil and gas reserves.

USSA Knesset: The Fluffers Of the NWO
Wake me up if you see any sober Senators. These are the same lugs who allowed the disastrous Obamacare Tax Law to squash middle class Americans.
What a bunch of dumb asses. Watched about 2 minutes. About a minute more that I could stand.
A load of ISIS members exited Syria once Russia started bombing the shit out of them there. Several hundred have moved to Yemen. Several thousand have moved to Libya for 'flight training'. Al Baghdadi is on his way there, allegedly.
How do they do it? I bet they didn't face TSA style checks and pat downs. They also seem to have no problem gaining access to their money and getting one way tickets to foreign countries.
You know what. I really hate these guys for their freedoms.
</irony>
I trust that the Russian Federation's Vladimir Putin will fight ISIS. I believe that the United States of America's Barrack Hussein Obama supports ISIS. The Russian People trust Vladimir Putin because he's actually a Russian citizen and a Christian.
The United States Senate is a bribery-besotted club of sociopaths and psychopaths, in other words, a gang of political parasites. They are only going to do what is in the interests of the Muslim President of the United States and his masters. The United States Senate is a prime example of everything that is wrong with the United States.
• Abolish the Federal Reserve System;
• Hold banking stock and bond holders and banking executive officers completely responsible for the totality of losses even if it exceeds paid in capital and face value of bond holdings;
• Prosecute and severely punish the political parasites for accepting bribes (I.e., campaign contributions, honoraria, fees for speeches, free rides on Crony Capitalist Corporate jets, etc.),
• Prosecute Crony Capitalist Corporations and Oligarchs for offering and paying bribes to political parasites;
We all learned something today...it is apparently nigh on impossible to blow up hundreds of oil tankers lined up in a row if they are headed to Turkey and driven by ISIS. Oil depots are much the same. Ammunition dumps? Forgeddabouddit!
Someone tell Putin. Hillary, could you send him an email?
