Pentagon Report Predicted That the U.S.’s Support for Islamist Rebels Would Create ISIS
Secret Pentagon Report Reveals US "Created" ISIS As A "Tool" To Overthrow Syria's President Assad
May 24, 2015Zero Hedge - From the first sudden and quite dramatic appearance of the fanatical Islamic group known as ISIS — which on the world's stage was largely unheard of until a year ago and which promptly replaced the worn out and tired al Qaeda as the world's terrorist bogeyman — we suggested that the purpose behind the Saudi Arabia-funded Islamic State "straight to beheading YouTube clip" was a simple one: use the Jihadists as the vehicle of choice to achieve the political goal of deposing Syria's president Assad.
For years Assad has stood in the way of a critical Qatari natural gas pipeline, one which could dethrone Russia as Europe's dominant, and belligerent, source of energy, reaching an interim climax with the unsuccessful Mediterranean Sea military build up of 2013, which nearly resulted in quasi-world war.
The narrative and the plotline were so transparent, even Russia saw right through them. Recall from September of last year:
But it's one thing to speculate; it's something entirely different to have hard proof.If the West bombs Islamic State militants in Syria without consulting Damascus, LiveLeak reports that the anti-ISIS alliance may use the occasion to launch airstrikes against President Bashar Assad’s forces, according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Clearly comprehending that Obama's new strategy against ISIS in Syria is all about pushing the Qatar pipeline through (as was the impetus behind the 2013 intervention push), Russia is pushing back, noting that the West is using ISIS as a pretext for bombing Syrian government forces and warning that "such a development would lead to a huge escalation of conflict in the Middle East and North Africa."
And while speculation was rife that — just like the CIA-funded al Qaeda had been used as a facade by the US to achieve its own geopolitical and national interests over the past two decades — ISIS was nothing more than al Qaeda 2.0, there was no actual evidence of just this.
According to the newly declassified US document, the Pentagon foresaw the likely rise of the ‘Islamic State’ as a direct consequence of the strategy, but described this outcome as a strategic opportunity to “isolate the Syrian regime.”
