Veterans Today has just learned that today’s air attack on the Syrian Army base near Der Ezzor, was ordered by British Prime Minister Cameron in retaliation for criticism of British efforts by Syrian President Assad in an interview published in the London Times Yesterday.
The US has denied all knowledge of the attack though American AWAC aircraft supervise and plan all “coalition” air strikes.
The full text of the interview that Cameron told his defense officials was an “act of war on Britain.” Reports from sources in the MOD in Britain say that the attack was planned to look like a “medium friendly fire” accident with orders “make it look like an accident but don’t try too hard, Syria can’t do anything about it anyway.”
The Syrian government did NOT make this accusation – its report stated:
Damascus – Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said that four U.S.- led coalition warplanes targeted with 9 rockets one of the Syrian army’s posts in Deir Ezzor province, claiming the lives of 3 soldiers and injuring 13 others in addition to destroying three armored vehicles, four military vehicles, 23 mm machinegun, 14.5 machinegun and a depot of arms and ammunition.
The excellent and insightful interview of Basher Assad, was published in tbe Sunday Times.
He said: ‘We know from the very beginning that Britain and France were the spearheads in supporting the terrorists in Syria, from the very
beginning of the conflict.’
There isn’t much doubt about that is there?
Concerning the alleged fight of the US, UK and France against ‘terrorism’ in Syria:
Since that coalition started its operation a year or so, what was the result? ISIS and al-Nusra and other like-minded organizations or groups, were expanding, expanding freely. What was the situation after the Russians participated in fighting terrorism directly? ISIS and al-Nusra started shrinking.
The ‘allies’ are there to promote depopulation of Syria, in accord with Israel’s desire for a ‘Greater Israel’ while Russia actually means business.
Assad contrasted the honest and friendly approach of Russia:
Look at the Russians, when they wanted to make this alliance against terrorism, the first thing they did was they started discussions with the Syrian government before anyone else. Then they started discussing the same issue with other governments. Then they came. So, this is the legal way to combat any terrorist around the world.
Whreas the Western powers want to operate in a lawless manner:
This is more about international law than anything else. Is it possible that western governments, or regimes, don’t know the basics of international law, that they don’t understand the meaning of a sovereign state or that they haven’t read the UN Charter? They have no respect for international law and we didn’t ask for their cooperation.
