U.S. TRAINED ISIS FORCES AT SECRET JORDAN BASE
The US trained members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIS, in 2012 at a secret base in Jordan.
Jordanian officials state that the training was to aid insurgents fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime and wasn’t intended for current campaign in Iraq.
Gee, we certainly do have a habit of training and providing arms to terrorists that turn around and cause problems don’t we? Bin Laden, Syrian rebels, ISIS, etc.

The Jordanian officials said all ISIS members who received U.S. training to fight in Syria were first vetted for any links to extremist groups like al-Qaida.
In February 2012, WND was first to report the U.S., Turkey and Jordan were running a training base for the Syrian rebels in the Jordanian town of Safawi in the country’s northern desert region.
That report has since been corroborated by numerous other media accounts.
Last March, the German weekly Der Spiegel reported Americans were training Syrian rebels in Jordan.
Quoting what it said were training participants and organizers, Der Spiegel reported it was not clear whether the Americans worked for private firms or were with the U.S. Army, but the magazine said some organizers wore uniforms. The training in Jordan reportedly focused on use of anti-tank weaponry.
The German magazine reported some 200 men received the training over the previous three months amid U.S. plans to train a total of 1,200 members of the Free Syrian Army in two camps in the south and the east of Jordan.
Britain’s Guardian newspaper also reported last March that U.S. trainers were aiding Syrian rebels in Jordan along with British and French instructors.
Reuters reported a spokesman for the U.S. Defense Department declined immediate comment on the German magazine’s report. The French foreign ministry and Britain’s foreign and defense ministries also would not comment to Reuters...
