It’s Official: Obama Rejects Fighting Terrorism in Syria
His actions say it all. In over a year of bombing, US warplanes
struck zero Syrian and Iraqi terrorist targets – none. It’s unsurprising
he rejected Putin’s offer to cooperate in fighting ISIS and other
terrorist groups.
On Saturday, Sergey Lavrov said the following:
We are ready to back the patriotic opposition, including
the so-called Free Syrian Army, with our air support (in jointly
fighting ISIS and other terrorist groups).
However, Washington is refusing to inform us of the locations of the
terrorists and where the opposition is based. The most important thing
for us is to find people who will be true representatives of the armed
groups who will confront terrorism among other things (serving the
interests of Syrian people, not foreign powers).
Russia is “the only country…support(ing) all political forces in
Syria (concerned about maintaining its sovereignty). Foreign players”
must have no says about internal politics, decisions for Syrians alone.
