Alan Sabrosky (Ph.D, University of Michigan) made the remarks in a phone interview with Press TV on Tuesday while commenting on Washington-led coalition airstrikes in Syria that began last week. “What I can see happening is that the targets they’re selecting are those that have, in many cases, no military value at all to ISIS or any other rebel group but really are intended to break whatever infrastructure the Syrian government will have when the fighting is over,” Sabrosky said. Washington intends to inflict “such damage to the economic and industrial infrastructure within Syria that any Syrian government after the fighting will be so weakened that it will be vulnerable to further attacks.” Sabrosky, a US Army War College graduate, also noted that it is important for the international community to understand that war has become “a normal part of the political, public, and social environment” in the US as the country is “now entering its 14th year of continuous warfare.” “That is extremely dangerous for a lot of other countries,” he stated. The US started conducting airstrikes on the ISIL terrorists only after US interests were threatened by the militants. The ISIL terrorists, who were initially trained by the CIA in Jordan in 2012 to destabilize the Syrian government, control large parts of Syria's northern territory. ISIL sent its fighters into Iraq in June, quickly seizing vast expanse of land straddling the border between the two countries. Syria has been gripped by deadly violence since 2011 with ISIL Takfiri terrorists currently controlling parts of it mostly in the east. The Western powers and their regional allies -- especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey -- are reportedly supporting the militants operating inside Syria. More than 191,000 people have been killed in over three years of fighting in the war-ravaged country, says the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), calling the figure a probable “underestimate of the real total number of people killed.

They are modeled on the pattern of the Nicaraguan Contras, the first major terrorist group sponsored by the US intelligence community in the 1980s. When funding for the Contras was made illegal by the US congress, CIA obtained weapons and financial support from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Then VP George HW Bush brokered the deal between his friends in the Saudi Royal family and CIA - for which he was later rewarded the head post of the agency as well as other political advantages. During a congressional investigation President Reagan lied when he denied knowledge of the Iran-Contra link. I personally spoke to a Secret Service agent who was in the briefing room at the time. Reagan knew. The agent was later 'rewarded' for his silence, or so he told me.***KSA continues to operate on both sides of the battlefield for purposes obvious to anyone except those who are exposed to constant western propaganda - to persuade the masses to understand what they are supposed to understand in order to justlfy a religious war against Shia Islam. Unfortunatly the Saudi hook is set too deeply into the US - and we are being led around by the nose to meddle in affairs of no real concern to any of us. Hypocrisy is the name of the game for a nation that pretends to honor the precepts of religious freedom and tolerance.

Any country that wants to control its own destiny will be demonized and overthrown. The USA and Israel did 9/11 and blamed it on Muslims. Russia and China MUST devise a new non-usury based economic system that puts people ahead of profit David Bradway Some where and some time in this world, the out of control continuous hegemony of the West through political Zionism is being answered by an equally violent and aggressive counter-force - upstart though they may be. The Jihad is perhaps the beginning of such a force. Of course, no one in the West even begins to think of self-analysis as to why so many in the Arab world hate the West - when the paragon template for such hatred has always been in front of them all along; namely, the Zionist Entity born out of Anglo-American imperialism in 1947 existing like a cancer in the middle east - engineered to kill and enslave all those who stand in their way as they have done over the past 60 years through the most brutal and inhumane methods that modern technological weaponry has to offer. This is the thesis - this is the operation of global political Zionism. The anti-thesis is the Jihad. And continuous war is the synthesis! Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
