When we attacked Libya, we called them Libyan freedom fighters, though they were only terrorists and acted as death squads. Now in Syria we call them Syrian opposition forces. Same deal – terror, death squads, massacres. Our money, our weapons. Even though they are Saudi-trained (or KLA), they go by the name we used when they were fighting the Russians in Afghanistan, where we armed, trained and financed them. Later that name became a scary word.
They are trained thugs, well armed and organized, following our orders. Even when we needed to make them look like an enemy, on 9/11, which they had no part in, they were our guys.
We call them “Al Qaeda.” It gets even worse – you’d be amazed where they get their money, at least in part. But I’ll stop there. If you understand that you are half way home in undestanding how the world works – at least piercing through the filtered American media. Nothing is as it appears.
