Trump accuses Obama, Hillary Clinton of founding Daesh

Thu Aug 11, 2016 3:19AM Home PressTv User US Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump holds up a chart as he makes a point as he speaks during his campaign event at the BB&T Center on August 10, 2016 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. (AFP photo) US President Barack Obama and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton “founded” the Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group in the Middle East region, according to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Addressing supporters at a rally in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, on Wednesday, Trump said Daesh is "honoring President Obama." “He’s the founder of ISIS. He's the founder! He founded ISIS,” the real estate tycoon said, using an alternative acronym for the terrorist group. “I would say the co-founder would be ‘Crooked’ Hillary Clinton,” Trump added. He went on to criticize Obama’s decision to withdraw American military forces from Iraq and leaving behind a void for Daesh terrorists to fill. “We should never have gotten out the way we got out,” he said. “We unleashed terrible fury all over the Middle East." “Instead of allowing some small forces behind to maybe, just maybe, keep it under control, we pulled it out,” he continued.

They have been engaged in crimes against humanity in areas under their control. They have been carrying out horrific acts of violence such as public decapitations and crucifixions against all communities, including Shia and Sunni Muslims, Kurds, and Christians. In a statement last week, Mike Pence, Trump’s vice presidential candidate, also said that the policies of Obama and Clinton led to the rise of Daesh. He blamed Obama and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for the “disastrous decisions” that led to the death of Captain Humayun Khan in Iraq. On July 28, Captain Khan’s father, Khizr Khan, addressed the Democratic National Convention, denouncing Trump as unpatriotic and selfish over his statements against immigrants and Muslims. ======================= Founder and General Manager of Projects, United Gulf Construction Co.

Speaking in the pre-sermon address to worshippers at the weekly Friday prayers in Tehran, Dehqan said the September 11, 2011 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York led to the US invasion and occupation of the two Muslim countries of Iraq and Afghanistan. The whole world, including the Middle East region, is still grappling with the severe and profound consequences of this invasion and occupation, he added. Dehqan said the US thought that by pursuing the Greater Middle East strategy it could secure a permanent presence in the region and achieve its goals through claims of promoting stability, peace, security, democracy and welfare. He noted that Washington was also pursuing fueling the flames of insecurity and instability in the region in order to destroy the national capabilities of the countries standing against it. Iran's military power Elsewhere in his remarks, Dehqan pointed to the Iranian Armed Forces’ power to repel any threat against the country, saying, “We have the military potential and capacity... to counter and crush any possible aggression against the country." He said Iran’s defense industry is capable of supplying all military needs of the Armed Forces in accordance with the country’s defensive doctrine. The Iranian defense minister went on to say that the country's missiles can hit targets with high accuracy and at a range proportionate to the level of the possible threats. Dehqan emphasized that in addition to the Iranian Armed Forces, the resistance front enjoys Iran’s high military capacities. “Today, a major proportion of the resistance movement's defense needs are supplied by our defense industry," the Iranian defense minister pointed out. On March 30, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei stressed the importance of strengthening Iran’s defense capabilities in the face of the threats posed by the country's enemies. In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in its defense sector and reached self-sufficiency in producing essential military equipment and systems. The Islamic Republic has repeatedly assured other nations, especially the regional countries, that its defense doctrine is merely based on deterrence and poses no threat to other states.
