CNN Reports on U.S. Weapons Supplied to Al-Qaeda by Saudi-Coalition

in #war5 years ago (edited)

A recent CNN investigation actually admitted that Al-Qaeda is being supplied with U.S. weapons. For those who've been following the war-front for a while, know that U.S. weaponry and other materials like armored vehicles are fueling terrorism all over the Middle East. U.S. trucks have long been seen being used by so-called "rebels" who are the very least allied with terrorists, or are actually terrorists.

The report doesn't go into all of that though. But they do admit U.S. supplies are being given to al-Qaeda, supplied by U.S. allies: Saudi Arabia and UAE. U.S.-made weapons are being used by the Saudi-coalition int heir war on Yemen, not just to attack and try to take the resources of Yemen, but to buy the loyalties of militias, tribes and terrorist groups that help to undermine forces in Yemen.

This deal making by the Saudi0coalition is a direct breach of the agreement with the U.S. But maybe those terms were only supposed to be on paper to cover the U.S. ass, while they actually allowed or favored arming the fighters who were taking on Yemen.

CNN reported:

Abu Abbas, the founder, was declared a terrorist by the US in 2017, but the group still enjoys support from the Saudi coalition and was absorbed into the coalition-supported 35th Brigade of the Yemeni army.

Oshkosh Defense strictly follows all US laws and regulations relating to export control.

They also reported on the Saudi-loyal military terrorist forces in Yemen being supplies with "American-made TOW anti-tank missiles" in an airdrop on October 2015 where the the Abu Abbas brigade, aka Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), were operating.

Near al-Hodeidah can be found "6 Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles " which still bear marking of "the Alwiyat al Amalqa — the Giants Brigade, a predominantly Salafi, or ultra-conservative Sunni, militia — is a favored faction":

One even has the export label on it showing it was sent from Beaumont, Texas to Abu Dhabi, in the UAE, before ending up in the hands of the militia. The serial number of another MRAP reveals it was manufactured by Navistar, the largest provider of armored vehicles for the US military.”

The U.S. denies allowing these deals wot be made:

"The United States has not authorized the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates to re-transfer any equipment to parties inside Yemen," Pentagon spokesman Johnny Michael told CNN. "The US government cannot comment on any pending investigations of claims of end-use violations of defense articles and services transferred to our allies and partners."

As the war against Yemen rages on with U.S. support, U.S. Congressmen are still trying to get the U.S. out of involvement by passing a resolution to end Trump's continued support of the Saudi-coalition. Recent bills have failed, which makes it likely future ones will as well. The false-dichotomous mainstream political parties have a majority who support war efforts, and will keep them going.

The government is out of control. They tell us we are at war with groups they arm and finance elsewhere. That suggests that the groups we are told to fear are at war with us because our government pays them to be at war with us.

Yeah, it's a big cluster fuck of lies and deception out there :/ We are pawns in a game.

They finally got the okay to confirm this when no one was looking.
