The Western media has tacitly acknowledged, faced with
overwhelming evidence, that the opposition rebels have not only
committed countless atrocities, they were also behind the chemical
weapons attack of August 21.
In the wake of these tragic events, a new dribble of media disinformation is unfolding.
The evolving media narrative –which coincides in a timely fashion
with the Geneva 2 Peace Conference– consists in distinguishing between
two categories of Al Qaeda affiliated rebel organizations.
The story runs roughly as follows:
There are moderate Al Qaeda rebels (“good guy Jihadists”) including
those affiliated to Al Nusrah, which are now part of the Western
supported moderate Islamic Front. The latter is now openly supported and
financed by the US and its allies.
And then there are the so-called extremists associated with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
