While the world is
mourning the death of the Paris massacre’s victims, purportedly killed by ISIL
fighters, the fact that US, Saudi Arabian and Qatari policymakers have
facilitated the Syrian crisis remains largely unnoticed, US columnist Jim W.
Dean remarks.
The world never mourned
the victims of the Syrian strife in the way it mourns the death
of Parisians killed during the hideous Friday 13 attack, US columnist
and managing editor for Veterans Today Jim W. Dean notes, Sputnik reported.
“As one world
leader after another sent sympathy and solidarity to the French
nation, and some already were hinting at a stronger anti-terrorist jihad
against ISIL, I was not impressed. World powers don’t launch jihads
against themselves, and some of them are too busy running regime
change terror operations like those that have been going on in Syria
for five years,” Dean wrote in his recent article
for New Eastern Outlook.
The Representative
Council of the Jews of France (CRIF) has now called for fighting jihadism
“without mercy.” But why the CRIF has not expressed its willingness
to crack down on the Persian Gulf monarchies known for their
support of radical Islamists in Syria, Iraq and beyond, Dean asked.
According to the
US columnist, the elites of US, Israel, Jordan, Turkey, Qatar, and Saudi
Arabia, have been involved, in various ways, in a covert war
against Syria.
Remarkably, the
independent media narrative about Washington’s role in arming,
training and funneling terrorists into Syria remains largely neglected.
American-German
researcher F. William Engdahl wrote in his article for RT
on June 24, 2014: “Advertised publicly as training of ‘non-extremist’
Muslim jihadists to wage war against the Syrian Bashar Assad regime,
the secret US training camps in Jordan and elsewhere have trained perhaps
several thousand Muslim fighters in techniques of irregular warfare,
sabotage and general terror.”
It seems that no one
in Washington was bothered about the possible consequences
of that move.
On the other hand,
in 2015, US Marine combat veteran Gordon Duff reported that 2500 TOWs,
which vanished from the US’ stockpiles, then, inexplicably, found their
way onto the Syrian battlefield along with weapons supplied
by the Saudis to Syrian extremists.
“I can understand
the hypocrisy on the part of the extremist perpetrators and their
cheerleading squads, but why are so many of the self-proclaimed
anti-terrorist hypocrites not booed off the public stage wherever they
appear, when we know they are handing out free passes to themselves
for terrorists that they like, the ones attacking Syria and then Iraq,”
Dean wondered.
Meanwhile, at the
second Vienna meeting on Syria, US Secretary of State John Kerry
suggested that Syrians “will have an interim government in six months” and
possibly will be able to conduct presidential elections a year later.
However, Dean expressed
his skepticism regarding the prospect of Bashar al-Assad stepping down.
“Why should he?”
the US columnist asked, adding that the Russians and Iranians have repeatedly
stated that it is for the Syrian people to determine the future
of their state.
“John Kerry
pretends he agrees with this and then wants Assad out, because the 5%
Syrian opposition crowd claims no peace is possible with Assad, when they
ARE talking about peace with Assad,” Dean pointed out.
“Does anyone think
the Syrian military is going to take orders from some foreign
committee-selected interim head of state? I sure as hell don’t think
so, not after 250,000 dead, over a million wounded, and 11 million
refugees,” the US columnist concluded.
