The documents Beck was referencing is a recently released
Department of Defense document from 2012, around the same time as the attacks in Benghazi, and the host says it backs up his claim that U.S. foreign policy “supports ISIS,” which he describes as “quite a charge.”
Beck went on to outline three specific “goals” from the document.
“Development of the current events into a proxy war: with support from Russia, China, and Iran, the regime is controlling the areas of influence,” Beck read from the declassified document.
According to Beck, the “current events” is referring to the Arab Spring and the Syrian Civil War, which he believes developed into a proxy war “with Russia and Iran siding with [Syrian President Bashar al-]Assad against the West,” which he believes was President Barack Obama’s goal.
The document then references “opposition forces” seeking to control the eastern areas of Iraq. Beck posited that those opposing forces have since developed into the Islamic State.
“What was [Obama administration's] plan? Not to defeat [the Islamic State], to harness it, and use them for regime change,” Beck charged. “We supported their efforts — our foreign policy was actually to support and harness ISIS in order to get what we wanted, which was to get Assad out.”
