FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Obama administration officials said the US president “had agreed in principle” to expand “assistance to the military wing of the Syrian opposition that could include battlefield gear like body armor and night-vision goggles,” The New York Times reported on Thursday.
“Our assistance has been on an upward trajectory, and the president has directed his national security team to identify additional measures so that we can increase assistance,” the daily quotes “a senior administration official” as saying.
This is while the anti-Damascus opposition representatives at a London “lunch meeting” on Wednesday, at the invitation of British Foreign Secretary William Hague and also attended by US Secretary of State John Kerry, renewed their demand for antiaircraft and antitank weapons, according to opposition spokesman Khalid Saleh as cited in the report.
Among the opposition figures present at the British-sponsored anti-Syria meeting in London were Syrian-born US citizen Ghasan Hitto, who has been picked to act as “prime minister” of a so-called interim government.
While the report points to the “expanding role” of the al-Qaeda-linked Al Nusra Front among the militant gangs fighting to overthrow the government of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad on behalf of the foreign-backed opposition alliance, it further cites US officials as confirming that the American CIA spy agency has been running a “covert program to train Syrian rebels in Jordan.”
The development comes just a couple of days after Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki cautioned the Obama administration, in an article printed in the Tuesday edition of The Washington Post about the growing influence of al-Qaeda-linked insurgents among the militant gangs fighting the Damascus government and its grave consequences for both the US and the regional countries, including Iraq.
“A Syria controlled in whole or part by al-Qaeda and its affiliates – an outcome that grows more likely by the day – would be more dangerous to both our countries than anything we’ve seen up to now,” said the Iraqi prime minister in the article.
The leader of the foreign-backed al-Nusra militant group, Abu Mohammed al-Jawlani, declared its allegiance to al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri in an audio message released on Wednesday.
His remarks came a day after the leader of al-Qaeda-inspired ‘Islamic State of Iraq network,’ Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, announced a merger with the al-Nusra Front to play an even greater role in the bloody crisis plaguing Syria.
Baghdadi said in a recording, “It is time to declare to the Levant and to the world that the al-Nusra Front is simply a branch of the Islamic State of Iraq.”
Jawlani further admitted that he had fought alongside al-Qaeda’s branch in Iraq, saying he is “proud” of the terrorist group’s flag in the country.
