Of course this thread will die here and No one will even ponder on all the Foreign Wars we have been in for the fight for oil dominance! So shall it be! But if you have a inquiring mind then read on!

Always remember the cover up on 9/11 too for it's entangled in the mess we are in over there even now!

These rich Arabs are like what 'angel investors' are to tech start-ups, except they are interested in starting up groups who want to stir up hatred," said Stavridis, now the dean of the Fletcher School of Diplomacy at Tufts University. "Groups like al-Nusrah and ISIS are better investments for them. The individuals act as high rollers early, providing seed money. Once the groups are on their feet, they are perfectly capable of raising funds through other means, like kidnapping, oil smuggling, selling women into slavery, etc."

Stavridis and other current U.S. officials suggest that the biggest share of the individual donations supporting ISIS and the most radical groups comes from Qatar rather than Saudi Arabia, and that the Qatari government has done less to stop the flow than its neighbors in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. One U.S. official said the Saudis are "more in line with U.S. foreign policy" than the Qataris.

    We know who is funding them. The war on terror is a war on freedom. War is the first tool of the tyrant. I've run that term by people and only gotten a blank confused stare. Sad.
