Saudi Arabia and Qatar Supporting ISIS...

...in Syria and Clinton in apparently knew it.

https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/3774

While this military/para-military operation is moving forward, we need to use our diplomatic and more traditional intelligence assets to bring pressure on the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups in the region.

This effort will be enhanced by the stepped up commitment in the KRG [Kurdish Regional Government]. The Qataris and Saudis will be put in a position of balancing policy between their ongoing competition to dominate the Sunni world and the consequences of serious U.S. pressure.


The US has special forces troops in Syria. So, I guess its better to play nice in public with these folks and ignore that fact - at least publicly - that they're helping an enemy on the battlefield against our troops?

WTF. ...and I bet Hillary and Bill keep the millions these two countries have donated to the Clinton Foundation.

Nothing new. Everyone knows that the Saudis give strong ideological, logistic and financial support to Jihadists.

Why not? Hillary hasn't denied any of the info in the leaks. In fact, during the last debate she defended comments she made about "public and private positions" that were part of her leaked comments to the Wall Street crowd.

Besides, there's no evidence that Russia had anything to do with the Oct 10th release or the info therein (though that's the Clinton campaign spin). If you have such evidence, please provide. In the meantime:

http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/10/politi...aks/index.html

WikiLeaks has been alleged to work with Russia, and US national security officials have accused Russia of trying to influence the US elections through highly coordinated hacks, though they haven't pointed specifically to Russia in the WikiLeaks release.

There is no news here. OTOH, anything from Wikileaks is inherently suspect.

Glad to see you carrying water for the Putin/Trump ticket.

Glad to see you schilling / deflecting for the Clinton / Kaine. And regardless of what Eichenwald asserts in his bitchy, smarmy little editorial that you linked to, no one in the US national security apparatus has linked Russia to the Wikilinks dump.

Nice try.

Schilling is a currency denomination used in Kenya, where Obama comes from. Shilling is the word you're looking for. I'm surprised that you're unfamiliar with the spelling, though not the term.

The fact remains that Wikileaks or their source is responsible for heavily redacting the email to make it appear that Blumenthal was the source of the criticism and not Eichenwald and that Trump could not have learned of the doctored email but through Russian sources. Nice deflection though.
