The recognition of ISIS and its Caliphate :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by Davod (United States), Dec 30, 2015 at 11:08

The Obama Administration thrives on negotiating behind the scenes of even the NSC,State Department, and its intelligence agencies. I would not be surprised to discover that Obama's people have been in negotiations with ISIL/Daesh since the beginning, and that, only the continued degradations of ISIL/Daesh stopped Obama from recognizing the new caliphate as a country.
