we here in america only ally with good people like al qaida. yes over 17 years after $911.00 the us counts al qaida among our allies in syria and yemen the past year is revealed several instances in which washington has been making deals with protecting and even indirectly but knowingly arming al-qaeda operatives in countries like yemen and syria yeah but they weren't really al-qaeda they were associated with al. they were al kind of. kids. this isn't so different this is different from a few years ago when it came out that we were paying the taliban to lead our trucks through in afghanistan so that we could fight the taliban sometimes you have to arm and train your enemies so that they are strong enough to justify fighting them i mean without our help we would have defeated the taliban too easily and then what we have done. stand around not bombing things. we have so much military weaponry we have to do something with it we have so much it is just falling from the sky today is there a u.s. drone crashed to earth or no data thereby showing dire

after all these years he's still playing that that somehow there is a connection between iran and al qaida it's extraordinary and very few in the media push back on it. yes and the fact is that there is a direct link between the united states and yeah right now in syria the last stronghold of al qaeda the united states is preventing the syrian government the syrian armed forces from getting rid of this major occupation this occupation this horrific terrorist organization so it's ironic that after less than 2 day after september the 11th and subsequently this whole war on terrorism 3 which was as a result of september the 11th since 2011 the united states has been supporting al qaeda and we have to remember that isis was a us which broke away and became isis or so but in addition to that i'd like to point. to down. the drone which was a very sophisticated and expensive drone with stealth technology by the iranians show that the united states is really misleading itself if it thinks that it can engage in conflict with iran without major consequences and it is interesting that the this drone

to attack any country that has ties to al qaida this is already been used in iraq and afghanistan and if you look hard enough terrorists can be found everywhere in the past few months iran has been turning into a more and more of an al qaeda haven according to washington for 40 years the islamic republic's revolutionary guard corps has actively engaged in terrorism the world's leading state sponsor of terrorists of the really regimes use of terrorism as a tool of statecraft makes it fundamentally different. from any other government they are a nation of terror and we will put up with it all aboard the militaristic bandwagon it is the best chance the hoops and capitol hill have had in years up until now would trump has been more or less true to his promise to curb his country's military adventurism being all bark and no bite as a candidate for president. i loudly pledged a new approach. great nations do not fight endless wars. and while there is literally move verifiable evidence that would allow saudi arabia to be bombed into oblivion and. the saudi the good guys in washington's playb

in government has other problems and most importantly recapturing its territory from it live from al qaida which still dominates the northern province of idlib and the fact that it's also contending with the uninvited illegal intervention in syria by the u.s. military this yuri government is basically taking a prudent somewhat cautious approach they're not using all that they have to engage the israelis nor are the israelis going all out either because and said should a major war another major war between israel and syria take place and know when exactly knows what the with the final end stages of that kind of conflict yeah to what extent has the u.s. recognition of the golan heights israeli territory in frame for situation there. completely i mean the u.s. government is illegally authorizing the israeli government to illegally seized territory that it seized by force of arms in 1867 the idea that the go on hates which is particularly important militarily it's very important in terms of water resources for the region because just simply base would be seized by force of arms and then annexe

the fact that what we have in the pentagon the state department is support for well some would say al qaida linked groups in syria today yeah it looks very dangerous i think mike was very steely eyed innocent. well disclosure you know i'm mike's friend of mine he was on our in our lot and want to center for policy research our think tank and i think mike had a good understanding of what needs to be done and he admitted i think in another interview that there was definite obama linked funding to the precursors of isis another organizations a serious a very dangerous mix and you know i'm one of those who believes we should not be arming terrorists at all and it's something that has to be looked at a deeper level you know at this point any time i advise people obviously my advice is steer away from any support to any radical islamic organization we saw this neck and a stand we al create through the mujahideen you know the hakani network and then here we are years later being attacked by the same network we helped create so it's just not a wise move ironically mainstream american media supports

political system i suppose now we are likely to see the interim administration on the leadership of al qaida and. essentially remaining in place for the forseeable future. well you know we focused a modest floor on the service of the army on who will be leading the transition on the side of the political establishment and we forget that these politiques of waiting that the army have organized in chapter. 2 several to have a plan b. or to have a clear vision of what the transition should be beyond the elections that this doesn't actually that they want to have the ija light and we forgot to actually do that maybe the army has the ok and the have the athletes not to enable to ulster or give them protesters a couple of proper response a proper answer on what's a transition and then what the transition could be so defendant here in algiers now is there in march that there's nothing to expect from your army and to marty armies or any kind of real genuine transitional dialogue with the civil society the more the the demands of the of the of the people aren't getting what you call air in there righ
