U.S. Government Continues Trying to Seize Syrian Territory<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n

On June 25th, U.S.-aided fighters in southern Syria were fleeing from the Syrian Government\u2019s Army, southward toward U.S.-allied Israeli-controlled areas in the Golan Heights and toward America\u2019s ally Jordan; and, according to the AP\u2019s news-report<\/span><\/a>, \u201cThe majority of these rebels in southern Syria were U.S- and Jordan backed, although some local al-Qaida-linked militants still operate there.\u201d The U.S. has relied heavily upon Al Qaeda in southern Syria, to lead the jihadist groups against Syria\u2019s Government, ever since 2012.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The expectation when Donald Trump came into the U.S. White House had been that his predecessor\u2019s war to conquer Syria or at least to seize territory there, would end. But Trump instead continues that invasion and occupation of Syria, and he even does so under the very same excuse that Obama had used, which is the \u2018humanitarian\u2019 one, of protecting people against Syria\u2019s Government and against ISIS, which is one of the dozens of fundamentalist-Sunni \u2018rebel\u2019 groups of jihadists (ISIS and Al Qaeda being only the most famous ones) who have been brought in from all over the world and financed mainly by the Sauds, and armed and advised mainly by the Americans. They\u2019ve been fighting to overthrow Syria\u2019s Government. The rulers of the U.S., who bombed Iraq and Libya to hell and have done the same to Syria and now also to Yemen, say that their motivation is \u2018humanitarian\u2019. Even George W. Bush did, when he invaded and occupied Iraq in 2003 (but he mainly gave the reason, \u201cSaddam\u2019s WMD,\u201d which didn\u2019t any longer even exist). Somehow, most Americans think that this Government in Washington represents them; but I am an American and I don\u2019t think that the U.S. Government represents the American people<\/span><\/a>. It certainly doesn\u2019t represent us in Syria.<\/span><\/p>\n
