Between 2014 and 2017 a coalition of Combined Joint Task Force, grouping 16 countries, vowed to terminate ISIL/DAESH, a self-proclaimed State, sprout of the famous Al Qaida movement, itself launched by the famous Ben Laden.
On January 30, 2018, President Trump during his State of the Union Address, announced:
“I am proud to report that the coalition to defeat ISIS, has liberated almost 100 percent of the territory once held by these killers in Iraq and Syria”.
So it had taken four years for the mightiest armies in the world, to defeat hordes of savage lunatics occupying a territory pretty well known by all its intelligence and which arms and financing sources were monitored with precision (and allowed, when not delivered) by same services!
Isn’t this surprising?
Then for whom has followed the four years of dreadful war in Syria, ISIL seems to have had excellent relations with two of the coalition members: Turkey and Jordan. While the services of the coalition members, knew all about civil and military supplies to ISIL through these two countries.
Fishy?
Then suddenly in 2017, the coalition decided to “put an end” to ISIL. Mosul fell in July, Rakka in October. The interesting fact is that in both cases, ISIL fighters were “exfiltered” by US forces to….Afghanistan for the Rakka ISIS guys and to South Eastern Syria where the US keep a base in Tenf and a training camp for the ISIS guys of Mosul.
Isn’t it intriguing?
Meanwhile in June 2017, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi Calife of ISIL, was declared dead by various media. Matter was confirmed at various occasions by the coalition services.
Interesting start of ISIS end?
However it has been some times since spring 2018, that the US spokesmen are talking about ISIL resurgence in Syria. This contradicted President Trump’s statement about US withdrawing its troops from Syria. But this would have meant leaving the ground to Russia before reaching a new Yalta agreement over the region..
Interesting!
So we suddenly are offered on August 22, 2018, the “resurrection” of Abu Bakr al Baghdadi in a 54 minutes clip, urging his followers to continue fighting around the world. Simultaneously US spokesmen have been insisting that ISIS is back “stronger than before”.
Sorry, but it high time that the “honorable members of the coalition” start to check about their acts and statements and stop considering people as stupid imbeciles ready to swallow their stories.
If this not called a Circus, what would it then be?
