On Tuesday, when US President Donald Trump bragged up his sordid achievements as
the new commander-in-chief, even things that he never did, such as the
declaration that he is the reason ISIL is ‘giving up,’ everyone in the entire
world raised eyebrows and said come again?
Trump took credit for the fact that ISIL is in retreat during an interview,
claiming that ISIL wasn't on the run before because "you didn't have Trump as
your president." His lie comes as Qaeda-allied, US-backed Arab forces and
Kurdish proxies fighting ISIL in Raqqa said "major military operations" in the
city have ended and that the terrorists have lost control of their self-declared
capital.
Trump went even further, claiming, "I totally changed rules of engagement. I
totally changed our military, I totally changed the attitudes of the military
and they have done a fantastic job. ISIL is now giving up, they are giving up,
there are raising their hands, they are walking off. Nobody has ever seen that
before."
Obviously, the War Party in Washington is no longer able to hide the bitter
truth about its ongoing proxy war on Syria from hardcore thinkers. Any darn fool
can make something complex; it takes a genius to make something simple:
* Trump has often skimmed over the fact that it was the anti-partition alliance
of Iran, Syria, Iraq, Russia, Hezbollah and Popular Mobilisation Units that
began the anti-ISIL campaign when the United States and its allies looked the
other way back in 2011 - including operations to retake both ISIL strongholds in
Iraq and Syria.
* While Trump is quick to attribute the success against ISIL to his own impact
on the US military, he fails to highlight the fact that the Real war on Terror
in Iraq and Syria has long been led by an array of national and local forces -
with the Iranian and Russian allies acting in a supporting role.
* The US has been bombing Syria for years to affect regime change and the nation
is shedding millions of refugees as a result. Despite Trump’s efforts to couch
his administration’s involvement as a "game-changing contribution,” it consists
pretty much exclusively of regime-change fantasy and permanent occupation, all
while arming "moderate” terrorists and Kurdish secessionists, and allowing US
bombers to be at the service of ISIL, Al-Qaeda and other proxies since 2011.
* When it comes to the so-called liberation of Raqqa,” deliberate demolition and
not peace and security is the best choice to describe what the US and its rogue
partners have delivered there thus far. Any doubters should ask the United
Nations Security Council, which says the foreign-backed violence has killed some
500,000 people and displaced over 12 million.
* According to human rights groups, despite the role of US military intervention
in fueling the rise of ISIL and conflict in Syria and Iraq, the American
humanitarian response has been severely lagging. Washington has admitted just
about 2,000 Syrian refugees since 2012; and they will only take in some more
after two years of security checks.
The truly scary thing about all this is that while aid falls short, the War
Party’s devastating "anti-terror” contribution continues to escalate, despite UN
warnings that there is no American military solution to the crisis. This is
while Amnesty International says ISIL managed to form a formidable arsenal in
its early days, in part thanks to large stockpiles of US weapons supplied by
Saudi Arabia, and/or "accidentally” dropped by US war planes on the territory
the terrorist group held.
It is said no matter how valuable you are and your ideas, fools will certainly
play both of you down, so exclude yourselves from the inflammatory environs of
fools. When it comes to Syria, the president of the United States not only lies
to himself, but also to everyone in the entire world. Trump’s taking credit for
ISIL 'giving up' in Syria is half-truth, the darkest of all lies, and indeed the
biggest lie of 2017. Anybody who says he is a good liar obviously is not,
because any legitimately savvy liar would always insist he is honest about
everything.
