In the middle of the night, Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl grabs a notebook, snacks, water, some cash. Then he quietly slips off a remote U.S. Army outpost in eastern Afghanistan and into the dark, open desert. About 20 minutes later, it occurs to him: he’s in over his head.
Now, I have a bone to pick with that Sy Hersh article. If the Joint Chiefs shared their ISIL & al Nusra front intel with Israel thinking that they would in turn share it with Assad, it would seem that even if they did so, they were at the same time providing logistic support to al Nusra...
These are very limited claims. You are doing a "Alex Jones" by taking these very limited example of one country giving limited aid to one group and then claiming that it means that many countries are aiding every group.
The truth is that ISIS is being beaten back in Iraq and also in Syria by groups of Kurds and others which are being armed by the US from bases in Turkey, and Turkey is permitting the US to fly missions against ISIS from Turkey....
It might be that there are Islamists in Turkey who are supporting ISIS and that these Islamists are also in the ruling party of Erduon, but that doesn't mean that he supports what those individuals are doing.
Admittedly Israel's ties to ISIS are much more difficult to pin down, which is why I didn't say ISIS but al Nusra, which is an affiliate of al Qaeda, and considered to be ISIS-light, which is bad enough I think we would agree. If our supposed "best friend" in the Middle East (to whom we U.S. tax payers provide substantial support) is in turn providing support in any way to an al Qaeda affiliate, shouldn't our "fearless leaders" take serious exception to that?
As for Turkey, their fight against ISIS is just a ruse so that they can hit the Kurds, who they hate the most. The evidence for their ties to ISIS is much more evident - the Russians have already made the case that oil from ISIS controlled regions is making its way into Turkey through lengthy truck convoys which have proceeded unhindered by everyone except the Russians. Incidentally, this illicit trade does come round to implicate Israel.... http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-11-28/isis-oil-trade-full-frontal-raqqas-rockefellers-bilal-erdogan-krg-crude-and-israel-c
And the Ukraine! My little project of late has been to track the tankers of the BMZ Group, a company in which Erdogan's son Bilal is invested. I found that one of those tankers had stopped earlier this month in Mersin - one of the Turkish ports from which ISIS oil is suspected of flowing into the shipping lanes - and it had listed the Russian port of Kavkaz (near Crimea) as its next stop - was this some kind of a joke? In fact, it landed in the Ukraine, another one of our supposed best buddies...

There were also reports of wounded al Nusra fighters getting medical care from Israeli doctors.
I'm waiting to see the evidence or documentation for any of these claims.
