Susan Rice Admits U.S. Giving Arms to Al-Qaeda in Syria
Weapons are routinely transferred from "moderates" to al-Qaeda affiliates
by Kurt Nimmo
Last week Obama took to his teleprompter to tell the American people
the United States will provide lethal aid to “moderate” mercenaries
fighting in Syria to overthrow the al-Assad government.
Obama’s declaration was nothing new. In September, the mercenaries said they were receiving weapons from the United States.
Obama had promised the arms a few months earlier but the media insisted
“U.S. officials are still grappling with what type and how much
weaponry to send the opposition forces and how to ensure it stays out of
the hands of extremists battling for control of Syria,” the Associated Press reported.
In September IHS Jane’s, a defense consultancy, estimated “there are
around 10,000 jihadists — who would include foreign fighters — fighting
for powerful factions linked to al-Qaeda.”
Around “30,000 to 35,000… hardline Islamists… focused purely on the
Syrian war rather than a wider international struggle” are participating
in the proxy war while “at least a further 30,000 moderates belonging
to groups that have an Islamic character, meaning only a small minority
of the rebels are linked to secular or purely nationalist groups” are
involved in the fighting, The Telegraph reported.
“The moderates, often underfunded, fragmented and chaotic, appear no
match for Islamist units, which include fighters from organizations
designated ‘terrorist’ by the United States,” Reuters reported last June.
Rice makes remarks about Syria 4 minutes 30 seconds into interview.
On Friday, Obama’s top foreign policy advisor, Susan Rice,
said this miniscule contingent of “moderate” mercenaries are now
receiving weapons from the United States. Rice claimed she is
“heartbroken” about the destruction of Syria – destruction that is a
direct result of the effort by the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey
to oust al-Assad and defeat the Syrian Army.
“That’s why the United States has ramped up its support for the
moderate vetted opposition, providing lethal and non-lethal support
where we can to support both the civilian opposition and the military
opposition,” she told CNN.
Despite Rice’s admission, the Obama administration has remained vague
about lethal assistance. “We’re not in a position to detail all of our
assistance, but as we’ve made clear, we provide both military and
non-military assistance to the opposition,” National Security Council
spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said after Rice’s remarks made while she was
traveling with Obama to D-Day 70th anniversary celebrations in Normandy.
In April we reported
on the fact the U.S. provides weapons to al-Nusra and other terrorists
groups in Syria by way of its allegedly vetted “moderate” mercenaries.
Jamal Maarouf, who runs the Syrian Revolutionary Front (SRF) created by
the CIA and Saudi and Qatari intelligence, said if “the people who
support us [U.S., Saudis, Qataris] tell us to send weapons to another
group, we send them. They asked us a month ago to send weapons to
Yabroud [a city in Syria] so we sent a lot of weapons there. When they
asked us to do this, we do it.”
According to Barak Barfi, a research fellow for the globalist funded New America Foundation, al-Nusra, the al-Qaeda-linked group known for summarily executing Syrian soldiers and other atrocities (including beheading Christians), receives weapons indirectly from SRF.
Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh
reported on April 17 that for “months there had been acute concern
among senior military leaders and the intelligence community about the
role in the war of Syria’s neighbors, especially Turkey. Prime Minister
Recep Erdoğan was known to be supporting the al-Nusra Front, a jihadist
faction among the rebel opposition, as well as other Islamist rebel
groups.”
The remarks by Susan Rice are yet another indication the Obama
administration is arming the only viable fighting force inside Syria –
al-Nusra and other al-Qaeda affiliates. The U.S. may indeed send weapons
to “moderates,” but the large number of defections from the Free Syria Army to the ranks Islamist rebel groups underscores the fact a transfer occurs.
In fact, if we can believe Jamal Maarouf, the U.S. and its Saudi and
Qatari partners are instructing the moderates to transfer weapons,
including man-portable air defense systems, to al-Qaeda and other groups who are the sworn enemies of the United States and the West.
