Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has admitted that Al-Qaeda and other
groups on the State Department’s terror list are on the same side as the
United States in Syria and that they are aiding opposition rebels. In an interview with BBC News,
Clinton states, “We have a very dangerous set of actors in the region,
Al-Qaeda, Hamas, and those who are on our terrorist list, to be sure,
supporting – claiming to support the opposition [in Syria].” Clinton’s admission that Al-Qaeda is supporting the
armed insurrection in Syria dovetails with reports that the same
Al-Qaeda terrorists who helped overthrow Colonel Gaddafi in Libya were airlifted into Syria by NATO forces.
Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri’s has also publicly expressed support for Syrian rebel forces. These terrorists have been blamed for bloody attacks
that have killed both Syrian regime officials and innocent civilians,
including a bombing earlier this month in Syria’s second city of Aleppo which killed 28 people. The recent Arab League report, which was almost
universally ignored by the mainstream media, also concluded that both
sides of the conflict were responsible for indiscriminate violence and
that terrorist groups were helping the rebels carry out attacks.
Despite the admission that terrorists are aiding
opposition forces in Syria, the establishment media has attempted to
pour cold water on the issue, primarily through mouthpieces like ‘Syria Danny’ – an “activist” who has been afforded ample time by the corporate press to beg for a military invasion. “It is richly ironic that the unelected fundamentalist
Sunni regimes of the Persian Gulf are supporting Al Qaeda affiliated
groups within Syria purportedly to “bring about democratic reforms,” writes Professor Michel Chossudovsky.
“This is the same dynamic that prevailed in Libya where the overthrow
of that country’s government by Western and Gulf Arab powers has now led
to a collapse in human rights and social conditions.”
Despite claims to the contrary, a general in the Free
Syria Army, the opposition militia, has told journalists that the rebels
are being armed with anti-aircraft missiles by the United States and
France.
“In Homs on Tuesday, a general claiming to be from the
rebel group appeared on camera and told a journalist from Reuters news
agency that “French and American assistance has reached us and is with
us.” When asked to elaborate on the nature of the assistance he added,
“We now have weapons and anti-aircraft missiles and, God willing, with
all of that we will defeat Bashar [President Assad],” reports RT.
Former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds also reported
that US troops landed on the Jordanian and Syrian border back in
December for the purpose of training militants to overthrow President
Bashar al-Assad.
It was also revealed earlier this month that British Special Forces are already on the ground in Syria advising and directing the rebel army.
