#1 Invented, maybe not. Created, though?

#2 More likely a really lame attempt at co-opting. Sort of like trying to use the Mob to get Fidel in the 60's and 70's, 'we try for a common goal, and then they wake up and decide to be good boys' kind of thinking.
Riiight.

#4 ...The Iranians also believe that they've invented stealth helicopters that can go supersonic underwater. You'll pardon me if I'm skeptical.

#11 Barry claiming the Arab Spring, Libra, Egypt, McCain's Heroes, and other night's speech would be a very tempting five course meal.

The no-fly aid corridor, promises of logistic stuffs to Team Not-Assad, leaks of trainers and advisors, and trying to sell the public AT and AA equipment to TNA which at the time there were reports of ISJV converting or killing other members of TNA with a prominate assassinations of Free Syria Army leaders yet the US continued to bang the support drum.

I don't know about invented or created, but I think supported and trained a la those CAR rebels France had to go stomp. Kind of makes me curious as to the yarns our two intrepid reporters could have spun. When Al Quada is like, "Hey USA, quit those guys, they are total a@holes we divorced them months ago." We were going to go to war for these guys until Kerry got off script.

It is no stretch to me to see an advisor over there. "This air base is killing us, what is the best way to capture an air base and as much equipment as possible?" Then as soon as the advisor goes to bed, out come the Iraq maps.

Imagine what it would look like if Egypt didn't un-eff itself from the Obama backed Muslim Brotherhood government whose first three major policy points were negate Israeli peace treaties, purge the generals, and want to send troops to Ethiopia. I see a continuous line of various JV squads from east Africa to Baghdad, with MB troops in and around the horn and Sinai, around the time the CAR rebels start popping off.
