Gee, we certainly do have a habit of training and providing arms to terrorists that turn around and cause problems don’t we? Bin Laden, Syrian rebels, ISIS, etc.
The Jordanian officials said all ISIS members who received U.S. training to fight in Syria were first vetted for any links to extremist groups like al-Qaida.
In February 2012, WND was first to report the U.S., Turkey and Jordan were running a training base for the Syrian rebels in the Jordanian town of Safawi in the country’s northern desert region.
That report has since been corroborated by numerous other media accounts.
Last March, the German weekly Der Spiegel reported Americans were training Syrian rebels in Jordan.
Quoting what it said were training participants and organizers, Der Spiegel reported it was not clear whether the Americans worked for private firms or were with the U.S. Army, but the magazine said some organizers wore uniforms. The training in Jordan reportedly focused on use of anti-tank weaponry.
The German magazine reported some 200 men received the training over the previous three months amid U.S. plans to train a total of 1,200 members of the Free Syrian Army in two camps in the south and the east of Jordan.
Britain’s Guardian newspaper also reported last March that U.S. trainers were aiding Syrian rebels in Jordan along with British and French instructors.
Reuters reported a spokesman for the U.S. Defense Department declined immediate comment on the German magazine’s report. The French foreign ministry and Britain’s foreign and defense ministries also would not comment to Reuters.
The Jordanian officials spoke to WND amid concern the sectarian violence in Iraq will spill over into their own country as well as into Syria.
ISIS previously posted a video on YouTube threatening to move on Jordan and “slaughter” King Abdullah, whom they view as an enemy of Islam.

Why would Obama and congress secretly train Isis ?? Unless DOD is committing treason and allowing Isis to kill Christians, women, children, military?????????
They just killed the general who saved the Christians in Syria… And was responsible for driving isis back in the early days…. With us air support.
thars a fact just look at pretty much any news channel on YouTube outside US and its there…. Even CNN covered him a few years ago….. Iranian special forces incidentally.
Trump’s got it right…again!
Not only ISIS but also other terrorist groups like Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, Taliban, Al Shabab are products of CIA, MI6, MOSSAD etc…They Trojan Horses of US invations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and in other countries…
