Why Iowa Nat’l Guard Soldiers Were KILLED In Syria – For Oil! (Jimmy Dore)

The recent killings of Iowa National Guard members in Syria is being used to justify continued U.S. military presence there, which is really about oil interests and Israeli strategic goals rather than the alleged reason, counterterrorism. Jimmy questions why National Guard troops are deployed overseas at all and disputes official claims that the attack was carried out by a “lone ISIS gunman,” portraying the incident instead as a manufactured or manipulated event.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger highlight the outrageous contradictions in U.S. policy, including how the United States has helped install a former Al Qaeda leader as president of Syria — to help us fight terrorism? Overall, the segment frames the incident as part of a broader pattern of U.S. foreign intervention driven by economic and geopolitical interests rather than the interests of everyday Americans.
