The United States and the Pentagon regime are lying through their teeth when they say they are taking extraordinary care to limit the number of civilian casualties in the air war against Syria and Yemen. Mind you, they are rapidly losing any pretense of a moral high ground.
As reported by international aid agencies and monitoring groups, the soaring death tolls from U.S. airstrikes on Syria and Saudi-led, U.S.-backed airstrikes on Yemen have increased in recent weeks, which human rights groups, the United Nations, and national governments have condemned as indiscriminate and irresponsible.
The global criminal syndicate are free to hide the overwhelming majority of the civilian deaths they cause. They can even omit official death tolls for the air wars in Iraq, Syria and Yemen, including virtually all major incidents. But they cannot hide the fact that they are now officially partners in war crime and crimes committed against humanity.
They need to take note that their deadly fantasy of regime change has turned into a nightmare, all while turning Iraq, Syria and Yemen into badlands for terrorists who have spread their killing sprees far and wide. The regime changers are breeding monsters and enabling terrorists at the end of which they themselves also get hurt.
Regardless of their fantasies, the affiliates of Al-Qaeda and ISIL are also busy taking over territory in the heartlands of the Muslim world, even in the southern parts of Yemen near the Saudi border, where there are growing signs of a militant presence. Graffiti on the roads warn that "ISIL is strong”, all while the flags of Al-Qaeda in Arabian Peninsula have flown above police stations and war-scarred neighborhoods. It is not Iran that the Saudis should be afraid of!
Under these terrible circumstances, the finest minds of NATO governments shouldn’t ignore these warnings or they would guarantee strategic failure against the ostensible grave threat of ISIL and Al-Qaeda in the heart of Europe. They should negotiate with common sense and stop this senseless War on Terror (which is in fact endless war on Islam), or see Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Libya export terrorists to commit murderous rampages in Manchester and elsewhere on behalf of ISIL. After all, it was in Libya, where one ISIL affiliate by the name Salman Abedi, the suspected organizer of the recent Manchester attack that killed and wounded scores of civilians.
What is true is that the White House and the House of Saud are the forces behind ISIL, Al-Qaeda and "Wahhabist terrorism”. They have also thrown themselves into an anti-Shia crusade from Yemen to Iraq to Bahrain to Syria. This means ISIL and Al-Qaeda are not home-grown and self-reliant, but a proxy army of Riyadh and Washington. Evidence of broad trans-regional support is abundant too, even if the "fakestream” Western media have done their best to ignore it, and U.S. officials have told the truth and run. Consider this as a reminder:
-In a 2009 diplomatic memo made public by Wikileaks, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said "donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide.”
–In August 2012, the Defense Intelligence Agency reported that Al-Qaeda, Salafists, and the Muslim Brotherhood dominate the Syrian rebel movement and that their goal is to establish a "Salafist principality in Eastern Syria” where ISIL is now located. It said the CIA is channeling arms from Turkey and Saudi Arabia to the extremist outfits in Syria and Iraq.
–In October 2014, Vice President Joe Biden said, "The Saudis, the emirates, etc. are so determined to take down Assad and essentially have a proxy Sunni-Shia war that they poured hundreds of millions of dollars and tens of thousands of tons of military weapons into anyone who would fight against Assad – except the people who were being supplied were Al-Nusra and Al-Qaeda.”
In blatant violation of international law, the U.S. not only refuses to tamp down the panic-mongering and cheap political theater of "Iran’s regional threat”, but also continues to supply the Saudis with banned weapons with which to kill civilians, generate more refugees, and strengthen ISIL and Al-Qaeda. This way the military-industrial complex can make a kill and the Pentagon regime can stay and entertain. Consider yourselves warned.
