Weapons are routinely transferred from “moderates” to al-Qaeda affiliates
(Info Wars) – Last week Obama took to his teleprompter to tell the
American people the United States will provide lethal aid to “moderate”
mercenaries fighting in Syria to overthrow the al-Assad government.
Obama’s declaration was nothing new. In September, the mercenaries
said they were receiving weapons from the United States. Obama had
promised the arms a few months earlier but the media insisted “U.S.
officials are still grappling with what type and how much weaponry to
send the opposition forces and how to ensure it stays out of the hands
of extremists battling for control of Syria,” the Associated
Press reported.
In September IHS Jane’s, a defense consultancy, estimated “there
are around 10,000 jihadists — who would include foreign fighters —
fighting for powerful factions linked to al-Qaeda.”
Around “30,000 to 35,000… hardline Islamists… focused purely on the
Syrian war rather than a wider international struggle” are
participating in the proxy war while “at least a further 30,000
moderates belonging to groups that have an Islamic character, meaning
only a small minority of the rebels are linked to secular or purely
nationalist groups” are involved in the fighting, The
Telegraph reported.
“The moderates, often underfunded,
fragmented and chaotic, appear no match for Islamist units, which
include fighters from organizations designated ‘terrorist’ by the United
States,” Reuters reported last June.
On Friday, Obama’s top foreign policy
advisor, Susan Rice, said this miniscule contingent of “moderate”
mercenaries are now receiving weapons from the United States. Rice
claimed she is “heartbroken” about the destruction of Syria –
destruction that is a direct result of the effort by the U.S., Saudi
Arabia, Qatar and Turkey to oust al-Assad and defeat the Syrian Army.
“That’s why the United States has ramped up its support for the
moderate vetted opposition, providing lethal and non-lethal support
where we can to support both the civilian opposition and the military
opposition,” she told CNN.
Despite Rice’s admission, the Obama administration has remained
vague about lethal assistance. “We’re not in a position to detail all of
our assistance, but as we’ve made clear, we provide both military and
non-military assistance to the opposition,” National Security Council
spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said after Rice’s remarks made while she was
traveling with Obama to D-Day 70th anniversary celebrations in Normandy.
In April we reported on the fact the U.S. provides weapons to
al-Nusra and other terrorists groups in Syria by way of its allegedly
vetted “moderate” mercenaries. Jamal Maarouf, who runs the Syrian
Revolutionary Front (SRF) created by the CIA and Saudi and Qatari
intelligence, said if “the people who support us [U.S., Saudis, Qataris]
tell us to send weapons to another group, we send them. They asked us a
month ago to send weapons to Yabroud [a city in Syria] so we sent a lot
of weapons there. When they asked us to do this, we do it.”
According to Barak Barfi, a research fellow for the globalist
funded New America Foundation, al-Nusra, the al-Qaeda-linked group known
for summarily executing Syrian soldiers and other atrocities (including
beheading Christians), receives weapons indirectly from SRF.
Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh reported on April 17 that
for “months there had been acute concern among senior military leaders
and the intelligence community about the role in the war of Syria’s
neighbors, especially Turkey. Prime Minister Recep Erdoğan was known to
be supporting the al-Nusra Front, a jihadist faction among the rebel
opposition, as well as other Islamist rebel groups.”
The remarks by Susan Rice are yet another indication the Obama
administration is arming the only viable fighting force inside Syria –
al-Nusra and other al-Qaeda affiliates. The U.S. may indeed send weapons
to “moderates,” but the large number of defections from the Free Syria
Army to the ranks Islamist rebel groups underscores the fact a transfer
occurs.
In fact, if we can believe Jamal Maarouf, the U.S. and its Saudi
and Qatari partners are instructing the moderates to transfer weapons,
including man-portable air defense systems, to al-Qaeda and other groups
who are the sworn enemies of the United States and the West.
