‘Al-Qaeda, integral to Syria opposition’

The Director of US National Intelligence, James Clapper on Friday admitted in the US Congress “that al-Qaeda, these terrorists; these killers” are an essential part of the Syrian opposition, said American author and historian,
Webster Griffin Tarpley.

The Washington-based political analyst went on to say that the United States, however, insisted on the United Nation (UN)’s anti-Syria resolution, which meant “that the Syrian army and the Syrian police, the lawfully constituted forces of that government, they have to pull out of cities like Homs and they have to turn it over to these foreign fighters, renegades, deserters and al-Qaeda.”

Earlier this month, Russia and China had vetoed the UN anti-Syria resolution, which called for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to resign and hand over power to opposition leaders.

The two countries have said that the current crisis in the Arab country should be resolved through political channels.

Meanwhile, the United States, Israel and some Arab States as well as al-Qaeda are seeking to overthrow the Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad.

Thus the US is “basically saying Homs is better off under al-Qaeda than it is under Assad,” an “obscene” claim and a “monstrosity,” which shows you how degraded these imperialists have become as they attempt to pursue this process of destabilizing Syria, Tarpley concluded.

The comments come as Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March and many people have lost their lives in the violence.

While the West and the Syrian opposition accuse the government of the killings, Damascus blames ”outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups” for the unrest, insisting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.
