This blog about Ghassan Hitto from well over a year ago pretty much spells out how the US is funding its own enemies.
Why?
So it can have enemies!
After all, the death merchants who profit so handsomely from one US war after another have zero interest in peace.
If they can influence foreign policy with respect to Iraq or Ukraine or Georgia or anywhere else that a little local disagreement can be blown into a potentially world-threatening catastrophe, they are good to go.
When you read the various points of view about how ISIS came "out of nowhere" to threaten the imaginary stability of the Middle East, you will realize that no matter which narrative finally triumphs, it is the American/NATO war profiteers who will win in the end.
Even when they lose on the ground they will win on the balance sheet.
And that, from the point of view of the American capitalist war profiteers, is how you spell "victory".

Media double-talk on Syria obscures reality on the ground
Here's a perfect example.
Writing in the Jerusalem Post, Ariel Ben Solomon promises with his headline an analysis of the Syrian oppositions's growing momentum.
Yet the first line of his article makes clear that what is gaining momentum is not the opposition but Western intervention.
In fact, the official opposition, recognized as the "legitimate voice of the Syrian people" months ago by their sponsors in the West, is descending into complete chaos. Within the past week they have elected an American prime minister who no one in Syria other than his distant relatives has ever heard of, lost the leader anointed by Hilary Clinton mere months ago, and lost the putative commander of the Free Syrian Army to a car bomb on one of his rare excursions into the country.
This does not bode well for the opposition's "growing momentum."
It becomes more obvious by the day that the real war within Syria is being waged by precisely the sort of radical elements that France is fighting in Mali, that the US has sworn to eliminate around the world, and that has been the primary target of the entire "War on Terror" since said war was declared by George W. Bush in 2001.
Which should raise several problematic questions.
Assad has all along claimed he is in a battle with "terrorists." If he is fighting the same al-Qaeda in Syria that US forces were fighting in Iraq he's right. Then why is he America's enemy?
Why is America funding and arming, directly and via various proxies, the very enemy that elsewhere it is committed to wiping out? How do you wipe out your enemy by supplying them with guns and money? Who are the useful idiots in this scenario?
The community of wishful thinkers in Langley had a Syrian slam-dunk on the drawing board. Their long-cultivated "opposition" would have Assad on the run in weeks, or on the outside, months. Then Syria would be in the hands of a pliable anti-Iran pro-Israel proxy government happy to do America's bidding in the region.
There was no plan B.
As Assad defied their expectations, the "revolution" so carefully nurtured over a decade fell day by day and week by week into the hands of the "foreign extremists" who will take American support but not American orders.
America is turning Syria into an al-Qaeda state.

Only legitimate leader of the Syrian people lived in Texas last 30 years
The so-called Syrian opposition took another step into irrelevance this week by electing as its Prime Minister a US citizen who left Syria thirty years ago.
Ghassan Hitto has no track record of anti-Assad activism and is a total unknown inside Syria. The Syrian National Coalition elected him for one reason; he has the CIA stamp of approval.
That the SNC is fundamentally a CIA creation should be more than obvious by now. The interesting story that will play out in the months ahead is how this US puppet will manage relations with the Jabhat al Nusra elements who are actually doing the fighting in the country.
Not that the al-Qaeda affiliated radicals are any more a legitimate "Syrian" opposition than the SNC. Most of their fighters hail from outside the country too. And they have the backing of US allies Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
That fact too raises some interesting questions. How is it possible that the US spends hundreds of billions fighting al-Qaeda around the world, but her supposed allies are busy arming and funding al-Qaeda in Syria?
