Big Guy Posted November 20, 2015 Report Posted November 20, 2015 Looks like it was Mali's turn: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/12006988/Mali-Bamako-terrorist-attack-170-hostages-Paris-live.html ISIS ? Al Qaeda? Revolutionaries ? Does anybody care? Quote Note - For those expecting a response from Big Guy: I generally do not read or respond to posts longer then 300 words nor to parsed comments.
honeybee Posted November 20, 2015 Report Posted November 20, 2015 It looks like that all of these are what US like to see to make the rest of the world a mess so that it can stop money flow out of America and flow back to the United States. http://truthinmedia.com/flashback-ben-swann-truth-in-media-syria/ Fast forward to today: ISIS- a group that once was quite small and struggling to gain power- easily absorbed members of the Free Syrian Army and al Qaeda-affiliated Al Nusra Front due to U.S. government involvement, and is now the most formidable terror organization on the planet. Following the publication of this Truth In Media episode, mainstream media reports began surfacing stating that “weapons were being given to Syrian rebels.” According to CNN, the weapons were not American-made, but they were “funded and organized by the CIA.” Quote

capricorn Posted November 20, 2015 Report Posted November 20, 2015 Apparently, there are quite a few Canadian businesses operating in Mali. Unrest in Mali is not a recent situation. A 2013 CTV media article covers the situation in depth. Mali itself had been a beacon of democracy in West Africa for two decades before a military coup in March 2012. The ensuing power vacuum allowed al Qaeda affiliated groups to take over the country's north, an area of land the size of France. As of 2010, Canada had at least 15 mining and exploration firms in Mali with estimated assets of $230 million, according to Natural Resources Canada. http://www.ctvnews.ca/business/mali-turmoil-bad-for-canadian-mining-ambitions-in-west-africa-analysts-1.1148796 Would not be surprising if there were Canadian casualties.

Rue Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Al Quaeda is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, the organization fully supported by Obama, Erdogan and the deposed Morsi of Egupt. Al Quaeda's operations unit in Syria, Al Nusra is financed by Saudi Arabia and the US. ISIL broke off of Al Quaeda. Al Quaeda was a creation of Sunni extremists waging war against the West and US over Afghanistan and Iraq. It is still at war with the West and the US as well as Assad. Its also at war with ISIL who it shares another enemy with, Iran. Now that we cleared that up for Big Guy someone tell him Muslim extremists whether they are Sunni or Shiite kill and blaming Zionists for them doesn't make them go away.
