Obama Showers Support on Communist Terrorists in Syria, Iraq
The Obama administration is showering U.S. military support on Kurdish forces across Syria and Iraq, including backing militant communist factions officially designated as terrorist organizations. All of this is taking place under the guise of battling the Islamic State, but it is a serious crime under U.S. law to provide aid to organizations designated by the U.S. government as terrorists.
The latest development in the administration’s ongoing support for Kurdish forces involves a recent military operation in the city of Sinjar, Iraq, that drove out ISIS militants. On November 13, the New York Times reported that the terrorist Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) was “deeply involved in the battle for Sinjar this week,” fighting with U.S. material support. Apparently the Kurds have even hired D.C. lobbyists to demand more money and weapons.
American Special Forces and U.S. air power reportedly played a decisive role in the battle. Also crucial to the Kurdish victory was the PKK, a brutal communist terror group that has been officially designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department since 1997. The European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) also consider PKK a terrorist group. In Syria, the Obama administration has also openly allied itself with the communist PKK terror group’s local affiliates, the Partiya Yekîtiya Demokrat (PYD) and its military wing, the Yekîneyên Parastina Gel (YPG).
