CIA Whistleblower Reveals Why The U.S. Now LOVES Al Qaeda Leader! w/ John Kiriakou

In what many consider a shocking move, U.S. policy has abruptly shifted from treating al-Qaeda and affiliated groups as sworn enemies to openly collaborating with their leaders in Syria. Former CIA officer John Kiriakou recounts how al-Qaeda figures once targeted by the U.S. are now meeting with high-ranking American officials, raising questions about when and why this change occurred.

Jimmy, Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Kiriakou about the contradictions of funding, arming, and even protecting extremist groups like al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, and ISIS to pursue regime change in places like Syria, despite the thousands of U.S. soldiers who died fighting against them. They conclude that Washington exploits these groups both as scapegoats to justify wars and as tools for proxy conflicts, exposing the hypocrisy and danger of U.S. foreign policy.
