Gen. Allen: "ISIS is expanding its global reach"
Video: U.S. Apache Helicopter Follows behind Huge ISIS Convoy, Escorting Them

This
video from LiveLeak purports to be an Apache attack helicopter
following a huge ISIS convoy of white pickup trucks crossing from
Iraq to Syria … and – instead of attacking – more or less
“escorting” it across the border.
The
fact is the Toyotas were supplied by the US government to the Al
Nusra Front as ‘non-lethal aid’ then ‘acquired’ by ISIS.
Al
Nusra Front is literally Al Qaeda.
Public
Radio International – an American public radio outlet – also
documented a specific shipment of Toyotas by the U.S. State
Department in 2014:
Recently,
when the US State Department resumed sending non-lethal aid to Syrian
rebels, the delivery list included 43 Toyota trucks.
Hiluxes
were on the Free Syrian Army’s wish list. Oubai Shahbander, a
Washington-based advisor to the Syrian National Coalition, is a fan
of the truck.
“Specific
equipment like the Toyota Hiluxes are what we refer to as force
enablers for the moderate opposition forces on the ground,” he
adds. Shahbander says the US-supplied pickups will be delivering
troops and supplies into battle. Some of the fleet will even become
battlefield weapons.
Who
Are the Supporters of International Terrorism?

The
highly effective Russian operation in Syria has clearly exposed the
real position of the West, along with the ties it has with
international terrorist groups.
As
is already known, the so-called Western coalition, created by
Washington more than a year ago has been “effectively fighting”
terrorism in Syria and Iraq. What are the results? Desert areas with
no terrorists to be found anywhere have been heavily bombed, at the
same time, terrorists are regularly acquiring weapon due to
“mistakenly” air-dropped crates. In any case, the terrorists are
fighting with modern American weapons and they are wearing US army
BDUs (battle-dress uniforms). And it seems that this outcome fully
satisfies the sitting US administration, since Washington was leading
the charge against international terrorism, or at least it claimed it
did. However, the year of bombing nonexistent terrorist positions
produced at least some results – the Islamic State has
significantly increased the territory it controlled in Syria. It
seems that the US could have been supporting extremists, while
pretending that it fights them, until the Russian military campaign
in Syria began.
Since
the first days of Russian airstrikes in Syria, when militants got a
taste of real bombs falling on their heads, and while fortifications,
equipment, and command bunkers were being obliterated, Washington
suddenly became quite vocal in claiming that the wrong terrorists
were under fire. A whole new media campaign has been started with the
money provided by the regimes of the Persian Gulf and the West, in a
desperate attempt to convince the world that Russian air strikes are
having no military success, and that they are killing civilians in
droves. The major advancement launched by the Syrian Arab Army is now
portrayed as a sort of a deal between the Islamic State and Syrian
President Bashar al-Assad, so, we are being told, terrorists are not
running for their lives, and instead are just handing over their
positions to the Syrian army. Such publications are usually published
with unclear “open source” pictures and videos, so that nobody
can confirm or deny this evidence.
Under
these circumstances, it’s only natural for any honest analyst to
conclude that Washington and some of its Arab allies are closely
linked to terrorist groups and it doesn’t take long to locate those
militants. There’s not a lot of people left today who would try
deny the fact that Al-Qaeda was created, financed and armed by
Washington and its allied reactionary regimes of the Persian Gulf.
Al-Qaeda then gave birth to the Islamic State, which has now seized
vast territories in Syria and Iraq. The Islamic State or “ISIL”
is a Wahhabi organization and it was created by Washington during the
days of the Iraq occupation, for them to fight against Iraq’s
Shia’a instead of against their Western and Persian Gulf sponsors.
When
Russia started the fight against terrorism, radical Islamists vowed
to wage war against it, but not against the West that has allegedly
been fighting them for over a year. In early October, Jabhat al-Nusra
along with Jaish al-Islam announced that they’re at war with
Russia, while the so-called Free Syrian Army, which is claimed to be
a part of the “moderate opposition” in the West, contacted the
countries of the region with a proposal to create a military alliance
against Russia.
However,
despite the ongoing anti-Russian rhetoric, Russian airstrikes have
led to the intensification of the struggle between terrorists in
Syria which has been confirmed by Western experts. Because of
destroyed infrastructure, Islamists encountered numerous problems
with getting their much needed supplies. As the fear of being
punished by warlords weakened among ISIL terrorists, they decided
that it was easier to obtain weapons and supplies by killing other
terrorists.
While
witnessing its assets being destroyed, the United States rushed to
help. On October 31, Deputy U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken
stated at a regional security summit in Bahrain that the U.S. was
stepping up its efforts in Syria on all fronts. According to Blinken,
the US government will allocate 100 million dollars to the opposition
forces in Syria. Thus, the total official funding of “those
opposing Assad” will reach 500 million dollars spent over the last
3 years. The US administration stressed that the money would
allegedly be given only for peaceful purposes, namely to support of
“civil society representatives” that have in reality served as
cover for the butchering of the Syrian population for years.
Moreover,
the White House has announced that it is going to deploy a limited
number of special forces in Syria, without obtaining any sort of
official permission from Damascus. Those NATO troops will be tasked
with training the so-called “moderate opposition” and will also
coordinate airstrikes from the ground. In other words, we are
witnessing the creation of a new military alliance in Syria, that
will include NATO, the United States, and all sorts of terrorists.
The latter are entrusted with a single task: to get rid of President
Bashar al-Assad by any means possible.
Saudi
Arabia, for its part, didn’t leave ISIL Islamists waiting for help
long either. General Mayhub said:
On
October 26, according to the reconnaissance data, four planes from
Turkey arrived to the airport of the city of Aden (Yemen). Two of
them belong to Turkish Airlines, one — to Qatar Airways and one
more aircraft owned by an airline of the United Arab Emirates,”
said the Syrian army spokesman. “There were more than 500 militants
of the Islamic State terrorist organization on board, they were taken
from Syria to save them from Russian airstrikes.
It’s
been reported that the militants should take part in operations
conducted by the Saudi coalition in Yemen, that has suffered huge
losses in battles against the Houthis. Syrian officials are convinced
that redeployment of terrorists from Syria will continue, as Russia
carries on with its airstrikes.
Some
US experts openly admit that the leading US allies in the Middle East
are sponsors of terrorism. Experts from the Washington Institute for
Near East Policy noted that the Ministry of Finance of the United
States recognizes that Saudi Arabia and Qatar are openly sponsoring
terrorist groups in Syria. In 2014 the US Under Secretary for
Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, David Cohen, announced that
Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups have received millions of dollars
from their sponsors in the Persian Gulf, Pakistan and Turkey. Money
supporting terrorists is still being raised in Kuwait and Qatar on a
daily basis.
According
to RIA Novosti, on November 4 the U.S. Representative for California,
Dana Tyrone Rohrabacher directly accused the US of double standards
and hostility towards Russia, adding that this policy has caused a
lot of damage to the United States, especially in the Middle East.
Rohrabacher underlined that Russia is a great world power that has
its own interests, just like the US has. During the hearings on
Russia before Congress, Rohrabacher stressed the fact that the US is
confronting Russia because it is defending Bashar al-Assad, who is
allegedly a terrible dictator, but the Saudi monarchy is also a
dictatorial regime prepared to kill thousands of people to stay in
power, and the same can be said about other Persian Gulf states.
Rohrabacher
has underlined that the United States would not listen to Russia’s
proposals on Syria since the outbreak of the conflict, which has
resulted in the severe deterioration of the situation on the ground.
The US Congressman stressed that Putin had been seeking a compromise
with the US for five years in order to find some form of stability in
Syria, yet Washington turned him down each time. He also added that
should radical Islamists come to power in Syria, it will be a
veritable nightmare for Washington.
Nevertheless,
Washington keeps on pushing for major escalation in Syria, while
excusing true state sponsors of terrorism. As it has been announced
by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, the United States, Turkey
and Saudi Arabia all refused to coordinate their actions in Syria.
Following the meeting in Vienna, Lavrov said he invited the
representatives of those three countries to coordinate military
operations in Syria, as Russia does with Jordan. Cooperation, he
said, could be established through a formal agreement on the list of
organizations that are to be regarded as terrorist. Lavrov regretted
the decision of the above mentioned states not to work together with
Russia, while adding that in Amman, Jordanian and Russian military
experts will be working together to carry out combat operations
against terrorism. Yet, shortly after the meeting, Saudi Minister Of
Foreign Affairs , Adel Al Jubeir announced that his country would
still be supporting the “moderate opposition”, or in other words,
the terrorists. It seems there’s no other way to put it more
clearly.
The
question as to why Washington occupies such a non-constructive stance
in Syria can be partially explained by US opinion polls. The Wall
Street Journal has recently published a survey according to which 56%
of respondents believe that Syria could become a threat to the United
States. Another 23% said Syria is an imminent threat, while Russia is
called a long-term military threat by 60% of all respondents.
Apparently,
as long as the media in the US is dominated by certain political
circles, Washington’s policies in a number of regions, including
the Middle East, will not be determined by the best interests of the
American people, but only by delusional ideas of those Washington
politicians nostalgic of the Cold War who imagine themselves sitting
in the trenches awaiting inevitable war.
