Ex-CIA Agent Comes Clean On Syria: Obama Allowed For The Creation Of ISIS

MINT PRESS – In 2012, the CIA proposed a clear and specific plan to oust Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad — which likely would have also prevented the phenomenal rise of ISIL — but according to a new report, President Obama refused to give it the green light.
