Biden’s admission: US allies armed ISIS
Speaking to students
at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy Forum Thursday, US Vice President Joseph
Biden committed what the US media characterizes as a “gaffe.” In other
words, he told an embarrassing truth about US government policy, one
that is usually obfuscated in the remarks of government officials and
the commentaries of media pundits.
Asked about US policy in Syria, Biden touched on the dirty secret of the current US-led war against the Islamic
State in Iraq and Syria. ISIS (or ISIL as the Obama administration
terms it) is essentially the creation of the United States and its
allies who fomented civil war in Syria against the government of
President Bashar al-Assad.
