US post-9/11 war on terror reflects willful state-sponsored deception - media scoundrels complicit in conning the public to believe Washington opposes what it actively supports.
ISIS, Al Qaeda, Jabhat al-Nusra and various splinter groups are US creations, used as imperial foot soldiers, flourishing because Washington and rogue partners arm, fund, train and direct them.
Obama’s vow to “degrade and destroy” ISIS is one of his many Big Lies - saying one thing while supporting
a universal scourge.
On Thursday, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter announced scores newly deployed US commandos in Iraq - ahead of hundreds (perhaps thousands) of combat troops to follow.
In September 2014, Obama said US troops “do not and will not have a combat mission” in Iraq against ISIS.
“I will not (order) our armed forces to fighting another ground war in Iraq.” John Kerry repeated the same Big Lie.
Carter’s public announcement along with a Defense Department press release revealed it. Months of planning precede military operations.
Washington already has thousands of special forces in Iraq along with unknown numbers in Syria. Escalated military operations are now planned - naked aggression by any standard.
The Pentagon press release cited Carter saying defeating ISIS “must be a global effort and coalition partners and others must step up their contributions to the escalating fight.”
“America will continue to lead the fight. (G)reater military contributions (from) coalition partner(s)” are needed.
Next week, he intends meeting with British, French, German, Italian, Dutch and Australian defense ministers - discussing their involvement in Washington’s imperial campaign.
Make no mistake. The Pentagon intends aiding, not combating, ISIS on the phony pretext of plans to retake Mosul, Iraq and Raqqa, Syria, ISIS strongholds - saying it’ll aid nonexistent anti-Assad “moderate” forces and Iraqi Kurds, facing Erdogan’s war without mercy, getting no Western help in their liberating struggle.
Carter claiming Washington intends defeating ISIS is pure rubbish. Saying “extraordinary challenges (lie) ahead” is code language for endless war.
US Iraqi and Syrian bombing since 2014 struck no ISIS targets, infrastructure and government ones only.
Carter’s announcement may be the Pentagon’s attempt to counter Russia’s effective war on ISIS in Syria, aiming to prevent Iraq from requesting its vitally needed help.
Putin is the only major world leader actively combating ISIS, Russia’s military proving extremely effective, aiding Syrian ground forces retake lost territory.
Carter’s scheme is designed to help ISIS, not combat its scourge.
