Saudi Arabia may be an ally to the United States, but that fact has blinded far too many to their backroom dealings with terror across the region, and in the west.
According to the late Saudi foreign minister Prince Saud al-Faisal, IS was cobbled together in response to the Shia government in Iraq following the US invasion of the country and the execution of Saddam Hussein (who got his start as a CIA operative).
“Daesh is our [Sunni] response to your support for the Da’wa,” the Shia Islamist ruling party of Iraq, al-Faisal told US Secretary of State John Kerry, according to the newspaper.
The FT story, however, ignores the fact the Saudis collaborated with the CIA and Pakistani intelligence to create the progenitor of the Islamic State, the “Afghan Arabs” that would become al-Qaeda. Other factions of the CIA organized and Saudi funded Mujahideen coalesced into another fanatical Wahhabi group, the Taliban.
With the potentially impending release of American intel suggesting that Saudi Arabia played a key role in 9/11, the public may finally be made aware of the country’s ties to terror. Will their ties to ISIS be revealed next, or will the administration ignore this the same way they’ve largely ignored the Islamic State otherwise? Given Obama’s disinterest in the organization, its likely the latter.
