Dans un mail d’août 2014 à John Podesta, Hillary Clinton considère que ce sont les gouvernements de l’Arabie séoudite et du Qatar qui fournissent un soutien financier et logistique clandestin à Daesh et aux autres groupes radicaux sunnites.

4. Armed with proper equipment, and working with U.S. advisors, the Peshmerga can attack the ISIL with a coordinated assault supported from the air. This effort will come as a surprise to the ISIL, whose leaders believe we will always stop with targeted bombing, and weaken them both in Iraq and inside of Syria. At the same time we should return to plans to provide the FSA, or some group of moderate forces, with equipment that will allow them to deal with a weakened ISIL, and stepped up operations against the Syrian regime. This entire effort should be done with a low profile, avoiding the massive traditional military operations that are at best temporary solutions. While this military/para-military operation is moving forward, we need to use our diplomatic and more traditional intelligence assets to bring pressure on the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups in the region. This effort will be enhanced by the stepped up commitment in the KRG. The Qataris and Saudis will be put in a position of balancing policy between their ongoing competition to dominate the Sunni world and the consequences of serious U.S. pressure. By the same token, the threat of similar, realistic U.S. operations will serve to assist moderate forces in Libya, Lebanon, and even Jordan, where insurgents are increasingly fascinated by the ISIL success in Iraq.
Important (1) : c’est un mail d’août 2014, c’est-à-dire que c’est très « tardif », le califat a été proclamé trois semaines plus tôt, et la prise de Mossoul a eu lieu plus de deux mois auparavant. Surtout, les raids aériens de la « coalition arabo-occidentale » contre l’EI en Irak ont débuté un peu plus d’une semaine auparavant. Concernant le soutien à Daesh, H. Clinton n’écrit pas au passé, mais au présent (« which are providing… ») et au futur (« will be put in a position… »).
Important (2) : Hillary Clinton cette fois n’accuse pas des individus ni le laxisme de ces gouvernements, mais désigne les gouvernements directement.
