What Did Washington Achieve in its Six Year War on Syria?<\/a><\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
Now that the defeat of ISIS in Syria appears imminent, with the Syrian army clearing out some of the last ISIS strongholds in the east, Washington\u2019s interventionists are searching for new excuses to maintain the illegal US military presence in the country. Their original rationale for intervention has long been exposed as another lie.Remember that President Obama initially involved the US military in Iraq and Syria to \u201cprevent genocide\u201d of the Yazidis and promised the operation would not drift into US \u201cboots on the ground.\u201d That was three years ago and the US military became steadily more involved while Congress continued to dodge its Constitutional obligations. The US even built military bases in Syria despite having no permission to do so! Imagine if Syria started building military bases here in the US against our wishes.<\/p>\n

After six years of war the Syrian government has nearly defeated ISIS and al-Qaeda and the US-backed \u201cmoderates\u201d turned out to be either Islamist extremists or Kurdish soldiers for hire. According to a recent report, the US has shipped two billion dollars worth of weapons to fighters in Syria via eastern Europe. Much of these weapons ended up in the hands of ISIS directly, or indirectly through \u201cmoderates\u201d taking their weapons with them while joining ISIS or al-Qaeda.<\/p>\n

\u201cAssad must go,\u201d proclaimed President Obama back in 2011, as he claimed that the Syrian leader was committing genocide against his own people and that regime change was the only way to save Syrians. Then earlier this year, when eastern Aleppo was about to be liberated by the Syrian government, the neocons warned that Assad would move in and kill all the inhabitants. They warned that the population of eastern Aleppo would flee from the Syrian army. But something very different happened. According to the UN\u2019s International Organization for Migration, 600,000 refugees returned to Syria by August.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
