  The US Green Party’s nominee for the November presidential election has accused Washington of backing terrorists in order to serve Washington’s interests. Jill Stein took to twitter to accuse the US of funding and arming terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and Daesh. Her scathing remarks are coming when the US-led “international coalition against” Daesh remains ineffective at best, and also the Western role in protecting terrorist groups like Al Zinki, Ahrar Al Sham and even the formerly known Al Nusra Front in Aleppo have raised serious questions. In this edition of The Debate, we take a closer look at the US war on terror in light of the rise of groups like Al Nusra, Ahrar al Sham, Jaish al Islam and Daesh. Guests:
  –
  – Former Pentagon Official, Michael Maloof (Washington)
  – Independent Scholar, Peter Sinnott (New York)
