Vice-President Joe Biden today accused America’s key allies in the Middle East of allowing the rise of the Islamic State (IS), saying “they supported extremists with money and weapons in their eagerness to oust the Assad regime in Syria.”

America’s “biggest problem” in Syria is its regional allies, Biden told students at the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum at the Institute of Politics at Harvard University on Thursday.

“Our allies in the region were our largest problem in Syria,” he said, explaining that Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the UAE were “so determined to take down Assad,” that in a sense they started a “proxy Sunni-Shia war” by pouring “hundreds of millions of dollars and tens of thousands of tons of weapons” towards anyone who would fight against Bashar al-Assad.

“And we could not convince our colleagues to stop supplying them,” said Biden.

“The outcome of such a policy now is more visible,” he said, as it turned out they supplied extremists from Al-Nusra Front and Al-Qaeda.

The Vice President however stopped short of admitting that the Unite States is also “culpable” here for helping create the ISIS monster  in the first place…

The US  is a huge part of the problem here by openly funding rebel groups closely allied with ISIS and who share their ideology of hate, Islamic extremism and violence in Syria against other ethnic and cultural minorities.

A fatally flawed policy decision on the part of President Obama that has resulted already in those same groups who are receiving both direct and indirect US military aid  are in some cases the ones responsible for committing horrific acts of terrorism an violence against innocent civilians in Syria, particularly Christians.
