“If he’s not the overall military commander for the Islamic State, he’s definitely in charge of the Northern Syrian Front, which is one of the most active and serious.”-U.S. veteran Mitchell Prothero claiming a U.S. trained insurgent is a top DAESH in Syria commander, PBS Newshour interview
“That’s when we noticed that several members of the unit had American military Combat Infantryman Badges on their right shoulders from the 82nd Airborne. To defuse the tension, I pulled out my American passport and declared that they couldn’t arrest comrades they’d fought alongside, as I had done numerous embeds with the 82nd in Iraq, where some of these men had been stationed earlier that year.”-U.S. veteran Mitchell Prothero describing his first encounter with a man who is now known as Abu Omar al Shishani, a U.S. trained Chechen now a top leader of DAESH (Islamic State in Syria).
“We trained him well, and we had lots of help from America.”-former Georgian defense official about Shishani. Now, remember who did the Boston Bombings? That’s right, Chechens whom ‘conspiracy theorists’ say were supported by the U.S.
In fact, YPG representatives accuse U.S. backed Syrian National Coalition of supporting DAESH (Islamic State): “The [U.S. led] coalition….have been providing political and financial support to DAESH since the radical group swept into Rojava…..U.S. and European powers must reconsider their relations with the Syrian National Coalition. This opposition bloc claims to back the aspirations of the Syrian people while it actually funds the terrorist group of DAESH.”-Redur Khalil
“…it is illegal for Australia to bomb in Syria. There is no UN imprimatur for Australia to bomb in the sovereign state of Syria. It’s as simple as that. Moreover, the Government’s claim that it will be legal by virtue of collective self-defence is simply untrue. The fact is that the sovereign state of Syria, as odious as the Assad regimen is, does not pose a threat to any other country.”-Andrew Wilkie, Australian Member of Parliament
“French air strikes on Syria will start within a few weeks…..133 French citizens or residents have been killed fighting for IS [DAESH].”-Radio France Internationale (rfi), so, does this mean the reason for the French airstrikes is because they’re tired of seeing their citizens dying for DAESH (Islamic State)? Who’re they really going to be bombing?
