:::Turkey's support of Al Qaeda & ISIS is in keeping with US policy since the troop surge. There have been about three phases of the war on terror thus far: 2001-2006 focused on al Qaeda; beginning with the Troop Surge, the focus was redirected to Iran & Iranian proxy militias. After the US withdrawal from Iraq in late 2011, the US, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, and others openly supported Sunni groups, including al Qaeda, to oppose Iran/Shite influence all the way to the Meditteranean coast, Syria, Lebanon, Hezbollah, Yemen, and elsewhere. Nobody in DC at the time imagined ISIS would start whacking heads or burn down the US embassy. But when it did happen, Flynn became the lone dissenter as one of 16 agency heads in the [[US intelligence community]]. When Flynn discovered weapons supplied through Qatar, intended for ISIS, were used to slaughter Americans in Afghanistan, he was outraged. He got booted from the IC.

:::Meantime since 2014 phase three of the war on terror has taken on a bigger priority - boosting the Gulenist movement as the premier Sunni group, as an alternative to the Muslim Brotherhood & Iran. Gulenists are being bred in the United States. Their object is to infiltrate police departments worldwide, primarily in the Middle East, but also Egypt, Africa, Europe, America, and elsewhere. Taxpayers in the United States are spending a half billion dollars a year to support 45,000 students in Gulenist charter schools in the US right now. This is a massive, ambitious, long term investment that the US deep state isn't about to get one guy, Flynn, disrupt.

:::There's more to be said here about US-Iranian and US-Russian relations. But the overall plan does look like replacing Erdogen with Gulenists at some point. Flynn compares it to replacing the Shah with the Ayatollah, and openly opposes it. This is why he was silenced and discredited.
