To understand the situation better, one should be aware of a formerly classified DOD intelligence report written in 2012 that acknowledges the support of the opposition by western powers.
The redacted report starts off outlining “the general situation” in a lettered format:
1. Internally, events are taking a clear sectarian turn
2. The Salafists, the Muslim Brotherhood, and AQI(Al-Qaeda in Iraq) are the major forces driving the insurgency in Syria.
3. The West, Gulf Countries, and Turkey support the opposition; while Russia, China, and Iran support the Regime.”
Right off the bat, the document highlights the fact that the main groups driving the insurgency are Islamic extremists.
It goes on to acknowledge the US's support for these extremists. Why would the US be supporting groups of terrorists that include Al-Qaeda, the very enemy that had the US still occupying Afghanistan to dismantle?!
The document gives a partial answer, stating in a later page that,
“If the situation unravels there is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared salafist principality in eastern Syria, and this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate the Assad regime, which is considered the strategic depth is Shia expansion(Iraq and Iran),” going on to say “The deterioration of the situation has dire consequences on the Iraqi situation and are as follows: This creates the ideal atmosphere for AQI(Al-Qaeda in Iraq) to return to its old pockets in Mosul and Ramadi, and will provide a renewed momentum under the presumption of unifying among Sunni Iraq and Syria, and the rest of the Sunnis in the Arab world against what it considers one common enemy, the dissenters. Isi could declare an Islamic state through a union with other terrorist organizations in Iraq and Syria.”
The document shows not only that the US and allied powers helped create ISIS by knowingly supporting various terrorists groups, not only that they predicted an Islamic state would form as a consequence of their support, but that “that’s exactly what the supporting powers of the opposition want”— we were never funding “moderate rebels.” That was propaganda. It really is that simple.
So on one hand we are fighting a “global war on terror,” while on the other we are supporting literal terror groups in order to stop “shia expansion?” We were funding jihadis from the start, as was Saudi Arabia and Qatar and other powers. Why?
