USA unterstützt syrische FSA, diese kooperiert weiter mit der IS

Die von den USA und der EU offiziell unterstützten syrischen FSA-Kampfbrigaden kooperieren weiter mit der Al Nusra Front und vor allem mit der IS des "Islamischen Staates".

Das hat jetzt ein hochrangiger Kommandeur der FSA gegenüber dem britischen "Daily Star" zugegeben.

Diese Koperation findet beispielsweise an der syrisch-libanesischen Grenze statt, sagte der lokale Rebellenführer Bassell Idriss. Viele reguläre libanesische Soldaten sind den Kämpfen in letzter Zeit zum Opfer gefallen.

Diese Allianz richtet sich gegen den syrischen Präsidenten Bashar al Assad.

Schon vorher wurde bekannt, dass auch das Nato-Mitglied Türkei die IS an der türkisch-syrischen Grenze massiv unterstützt und den Islamisten-Rebellen mehrere Grenzübergänge zur Kontrolle überlässt.

Die USA betreiben also ganz klar eine Doppelstrategie.

Die militante IS, die sie im Irak angeblich bekämpfen, unterstützen sie durch enge Verbündete in der Türkei und in Syrien.

Free Syrian Army commanders around Arsal vehemently deny any involvement in recent clashes with the Lebanese security forces, but admit to cooperating with Islamist groups in military operations along the Syrian-Lebanese border.

Often at odds on the Syrian battlefields, the FSA, Nusra Front and ISIS have entered a tenuous allegiance of convenience to fight Assad-aligned forces in the badlands surrounding Arsal.

“We are collaborating with the Islamic State and the Nusra Front by attacking the Syrian Army’s gatherings in ... Qalamoun,” said Bassel Idriss, the commander of an FSA-aligned rebel brigade.

“We have reached a point where we have to collaborate with anyone against unfairness and injustice,” confirmed Abu Khaled, another FSA commander who lives in Arsal.

“Let’s face it: The Nusra Front is the biggest power present right now in Qalamoun and we as FSA would collaborate on any mission they launch as long as it coincides with our values,” he added.

“A very large number of FSA members [in Arsal] have joined ISIS and Nusra,” Fidaa said. “In the end, people want to eat, they want to live, and the Islamic State has everything.”

Despite openly admitting to working with terroristsfor well over a year, Syrian rebels groups continue to be funded, armed and trained by the Obama administration.

Just last April, Jamal Maarouf, the leader of the Syrian Revolutionary Front (SRF), told reporters that his group regularly working with Al Qaeda and Al-Nusra as well.

According to Jordanian officials, Syrian rebels who were trained in 2012 by US, British and French instructors at a secret base in Jordan have now joined ISIS.

Syrian rebels receiving similar US training in Qatar have even admitted to learning tactics such as “finishing off soldiers still alive after an ambush.”

The support of terrorist groups by the US and its allies in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and Turkey has led many, including retired United States Air Force Lieutenant General Thomas McInerne y, to begin opposing the practice.

“We backed I believe in some cases, some of the wrong people and not in the right part of the Free Syrian Army and that’s a little confusing to people, so I’ve always maintained… that we were backing the wrong types,” McInerney told Fox News.
