America Props Up An Al Qaeda Terror State

[Almost Heaven]

In March, the Trump administration laid out conditions for ending sanctions on Syria.

The new Islamic terrorist regime led by a former Al Qaeda terrorist that had taken over Syria was warned to “exclude foreign terrorist fighters from any official roles”, difficult to imagine considering that the country was being run by domestic and foreign terrorists, “and ensure the security and freedoms of Syria’s religious and ethnic minorities”. Especially Christians.

“Any adjustment to U.S. policy towards Syria’s interim authorities will be contingent on all of those steps being taken,” the terrorist regime was warned.

This position was reaffirmed by the Trump administration in April at the UN Security Council.

Syria’s Jihadi government not only refused to expel its foreign Jihadi allies, but gave members of Al Qaeda and ISIS linked terrorists ranks in its new ‘military’. Syria not only harbors terrorist networks from as far away as China and Albania, but also Muslim terrorists from Western nations like Omar Diaby, listed by the United States as linked to Al Qaeda, who was “responsible for recruiting 80% of the French-speaking jihadists who went to Syria or Iraq” and who are at high risk of carrying out terrorist attacks in Europe and the United States.


The same way it did for us in Afghanistan…with dead Americans and American hostages.

How is supporting terrorists - who rule Syria and threaten Christians - in our national interest?

This isn’t going to end well.

I hope and pray Trump is able to follow thru on this. ISIS/alQuaida/Daesh all the same- different names. Same terrorists that perpetrated 911 and the atrocities since. When one of their leaders took over Syria with the help of Turkey no less, this made things worse not better. Assad wasn't great, but he was keeping these animals under control and the Druze and Christians had some protections. All that evaporated when Al-Jolani took over

and the article says this

"While the sanctions were imposed on the previous Assad regime, the Trump administration had tried to use them as leverage to convince the Al-Jolani regime to expel foreign Jihadis and protect Christians. Instead the towel was thrown in at the infamous meeting in Saudi Arabia.

And what is the United States getting in return for lifting sanctions and losing its leverage?"

the article says not a lot - it's a temporary appeasement at best and concludes this:

"We dropped sanctions on Syria in order to keep it in the hands of Al Qaeda while abandoning our best leverage for protecting Syria’s Christians and keeping terrorist groups from using Syria as a base. After Qatar stabbed us in the back in Afghanistan, we’re back to trusting it in Syria and Gaza. And we’ve forgotten that making deals with Islamic Jihadis only ends one way.

The same way it did for us in Afghanistan…with dead Americans and American hostages."

Can't argue with that logic.
