Nice article on western support of terrorists
Whay the US-Russia negotiated ceasefire in Syria was imminent to fail – explained by former “green beret” journalist’s investigation.
In a detailed report, US Special Forces Sabotage White House Policy gone Disastrously Wrong with Covert Ops in Syria, Jack Murphy, himself a former Green Beret (U.S. Special Forces), recounts a former CIA officer having told him how the “the Syria covert action program is (CIA Director John) Brennan’s baby …Brennan was the one who breathed life into the Syrian Task Force … John Brennan loved that regime-change bullshit.”
In gist, Murphy tells the story of U.S. Special Forces under one Presidential authority, arming Syrian anti-ISIS forces, whilst the CIA, obsessed with overthrowing President Bashar al-Assad, and operating under a separate Presidential authority, conducts a separate and parallel program to arm anti-Assad insurgents. Apart from that, the report tells us quite plainly why the attempted ceasefires, negotiated by governments of US and Russia, have failed, although this is not explicitly treated in the analysis.
Key part of Syrian ceasefire war separating “extremist” terrorists from “moderate” terrorists. US pledged to provide a list of “moderate” organizations” and their positions, but failed to do this. Report states, that the FSA cannot be separated from al-Nusra, because it’s the the same organization.
“The FSA (the alleged “moderates” of the Free Syria Army) made for a viable partner force for the CIA on the surface, as they were anti-regime, ostensibly having the same goal as the seventh floor at Langley” (the floor of the CIA headquarters occupied by the Director and his staff) – i.e. the ousting of President Assad.
But in practice, as Murphy states bluntly: “distinguishing between the FSA and al-Nusra is impossible, because they are virtually the same organization. As early as 2013, FSA commanders were defecting with their entire units to join al-Nusra. There, they still retain the FSA monicker, but it is merely to give the appearance of secularism so they can maintain access to weaponry provided by the CIA and Saudi intelligence services. The reality is that the FSA is little more than a cover for the al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra. …
“The fact that the FSA simply passed American-made weaponry off to al-Nusra is also unsurprising considering that the CIA’s vetting process of militias in Syria is lacklustre, consisting of little more than running traces in old databases. These traces rely on knowing the individuals’ real names in the first place, and assume that they were even fighting-age males when the data was collected by Counterterrorism Centre years prior.”
The report also confirms US involvement in training Syrian terrorists on secret training camps in Turkey.
“Among the rebels that U.S. Special Forces and Turkish Special Forces were training, ‘A good 95 percent of them were either working in terrorist organizations or were sympathetic to them,’ a Green Beret associated with the program said, adding, ‘A good majority of them admitted that they had no issues with ISIS and that their issue was with the Kurds and the Syrian regime.’”
Alastair Crooke, a former British diplomat who was a senior figure in British intelligence and in European Union diplomacy, commenting the report, concludes:
“The Russians are right: the CIA and the Defense Department never had the intention to comply with the accord – because they could not. The Russians are also right that the U.S. has had no intention to defeat al-Nusra – as required by U.N. Security Council Resolution 2268 (2016).”
