    Hillary In Leaked Email: Saudi Arabia And Qatar Are Funding ISIS


    Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton sent an email to her campaign chairman John Podesta in 2014, who was then-counselor to President Barack Obama, that said Saudi Arabia and Qatar are both giving financial and logistical support to the Islamic State and other extremist Sunni groups, according to a recent Wikileaks release.
    Clinton sent the email on August 17, 2014 to Podesta. It was an eight-point plan to defeat ISIS in Iraq and Syria. Clinton’s email said that the United States should support Kurdish forces on the ground with U.S. military advisers and avoid the use of a conventional ground operation.
    “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,” Clinton wrote.

    The former secretary of state added: “This effort will be enhanced by the stepped up commitment in the [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.”

    as usual, accusation start with Saudi and end up with >>Iran


    "..........................In December 2011, U.S. District Judge George B. Daniels ruled “that Iran and Hezbollah materially and directly supported al Qaeda in the September 11, 2001 attacks.”13 The 9/11 Commission reported that 8 to 10 of the 9/11 hijackers traveled through Iran between October 2000 and February 200l. They took advantage of an Iranian agreement to not stamp the passports of Al-Qaeda members going through the country. The travel of the hijackers appears to have been coordinated with Hezbollah, with one even boarding the same flight to Beirut as Hezbollah’s operations chief, Imad Mughniyah. The judge was also persuaded by testimony from three Iranian defectors, including a former intelligence officer named Hamid Reza Zakeri that defected in 2001 and claimed to have foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks. Zakeri provided alleged top-secret intelligence documents proving that Iran and Hezbollah helped orchestrate the attacks."

    STOP LYING. The text you pasted is not from that link.

    Share the link. You know which one I'm talking about. Also, tell people who owns it, funds it, who approves it, what it supports. Show them that you are a propagandist.

    You will be a cheerleader for anything with no principles whatsoever. Take responsibility for what you support.

    Because @Exiled did not cite his source.
    http://www.clarionproject.org/factsheet/iranian-state-support-terrorism

    "The 9/11 Commission said it “found no evidence that Iran or Hezbollah was aware of the planning for what later became the 9/11 attack” but that further investigation was needed into the issue. In December 2011, U.S. District Judge George B. Daniels ruled “that Iran and Hezbollah materially and directly supported al Qaeda in the September 11, 2001 attacks.”[13]

    The 9/11 Commission reported that 8 to 10 of the 9/11 hijackers traveled through Iran between October 2000 and February 200l. They took advantage of an Iranian agreement to not stamp the passports of Al-Qaeda members going through the country.

Zakeri provided alleged top-secret intelligence documents proving that Iran and Hezbollah helped orchestrate the attacks."

    And because @Mathloom wanted to know more about the source.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarion_Project

    The Clarion Project (formerly Clarion Fund Inc.) is a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit organization founded in 2006.[1][2] The organization has been involved in the production and distribution of the films Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West, The Third Jihad, Iranium and Honor Diaries.

    Mission, organization and funding
    The Clarion Project states its mission as "exposing the dangers of Islamic extremism while providing a platform for the voices of moderation and promoting grassroots activism."[1]

    Ryan Mauro is the Clarion Project’s national security analyst.[3]

    Funders include Donors Capital Fund, a nonprofit donor-advised fund, which gave the organization a donation of $17.7 million in 2008,[4][5] and casino owner Sheldon Adelson.[5][6]

    The fund's advisory board included Frank Gaffney of Center for Security Policy, Daniel Pipes of Middle East Forum, and Walid Phares of Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Clarion Project also closely cooperates with MEMRI, an organization that provided translations of media from Muslim-majority countries for its films.[7]

    It also shares an address and staff with Aish HaTorah, strongly tied to the Israeli settler movement.[8][9][10][11]

    (Cut out stuff about Films - Azadre)

    Criticism
    The Southern Poverty Law Center described the organization as an anti-Muslim group,[17] and the Muslim advocacy group Council on American–Islamic Relations said the group promotes Islamophobia in America.[18]

    I look forward to the day that our natural allies in Iran formulate a new non-imam-based democratic government. It is inevitable.

    most Iranians want just that ,and most of them are moderates . whenever Persians among others tried to uprise against Khomeini's Turbans, Basij militias consisted mainly from non-Iranian (die hard fans like mathloom,rocket03 etc ) were imported to crack down.
