Damascus, SANA – While the world is standing idly by, watching the crimes and massacres committed in the Middle East by the terrorist organization called the Islamic State, formerly known as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant or ISIS, the voices of U.S. officials grow louder and louder in a bid to exploit the situation in the region politically. The U.S. administration created this organization to attract extremists from all over the world to serve the American and Israeli agendas in dividing the region in the so-called “New Middle East Project.”
As part of the attempts to exploit the dangerous situation created by the U.S. administration, a situation which threatens not only the region but also the whole world, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton came out with new declarations against the American President Barack Obama, in which she accused him of being responsible for the emergence of what she called “Jihadists” because of his “failure” in providing military support to the “Syrian opposition.”
“The failure to help build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against Assad… left a big vacuum, which the jihadists have now filled,” Clinton proclaimed.
Despite that, it is now common knowledge that this administration provides lethal aid to those whom Washington dubs the “Syrian Opposition” which actually consists of terrorist groups following an extremist takfiri way of thinking, and became fighters in the ranks of the Islamic State and other extremist terrorist organizations.
In an interview given to the Atlantic magazine, Clinton spoke about Obama’s slogan describing his foreign policy, saying “Great nations need organizing principles, and ‘Don’t do stupid stuff’ is not an organizing principle.”
Some analysts see Clinton as attempting to grab the spotlight to get attention and present herself as having an influence on the American public opinion while running for the next presidential elections.
The former Secretary of State, who is trying to distance herself from the policies of the unpopular Obama, expressed her concerns “about what’s happening in the Middle East right now.. because of the breakout capacity of jihadist groups that can affect Europe, can affect the United States,” Ignoring that her country’s policy created this danger which is now threatening the region and the entire world, and this analysis is confirmed by many reports, one of them being information leaked by Edward Snowden, the NSA whistleblower, in which he uncovered the cooperation between the American, British, and Israeli intelligence to create a terrorist organization capable of attracting extremists from all over the world to one place.
Clinton, who supported the terrorist organizations in Syria while in office, and tried to hide the reality of what the U.S administration is doing by classifying terrorism as “moderate” or “extremist,” warned from the fact that “Jihadist groups are governing territory. They will never stay there, though. They are driven to expand.” She considered” Their raison d’etre is to be against the West, against the Crusaders, against the fill-in-the-blank—and we all fit into one of these categories. How do we try to contain that? I’m thinking a lot about containment, deterrence, and defeat.”
Clinton believed that the U.S. would succeed in facing the threat of extremists if it can concoct a plan with a clear aim, hence her saying “Great nations need organizing principles.”
This poses the question: will Clinton be able to mislead the American people, presenting herself as a savior planning to face dangers threatening of the world, even though she was one of those who created these dangers with others in the U.S. administration and drive the whole region to this horrible state of extremism and terrorism?
