        This is a book everyone should read. It’s funny that it was written by a liberal in 2004. Today, the left is forced to defend corruption in the CIA and the FBI.

        Are you kidding me? Read the book Ghost Wars. The CIA has been supplying Middle Eastern Tribes with weapons to fight communism since the 70s. Those tribes became ISIS and Al Qaeda. This was set in motion long before Trump.

        CIA was in charge of coordinating money transfers to the rebels through the Saudi Government. That way it wouldn’t be ties directly to the US.

        So don’t blame Trump on this one, as it was the Obama administration along with Hillary who enabled terrorists to arm themselves with US weaponry. All you Obama worshipers and Hillary worshipers should allowed this to happen.

        This is what happens. I never heard of anything as stupid as selling weapons to Saudi Arabia. Idiotic.

        Quite possibly the Taliban got them from ISIS who obtained the devices from the Iraqi Army. After Obama prematurely pulled American troops from Iraq, ISIS flooded across that nation and the Iraqi Army simply laid down there arms!
