"It is an agenda for replacement of governments that are not acceptable to American imperialism," said political commentator Ralph Schoenman in a Friday interview, alluding to the Syrian crisis.
"It is not only in Syria this project... it is intended for Iran. It was implemented in Libya; it is the nature of imperial intervention in the region. That is the underlying reality here; everyday confirms it," he added.
Schoenman pointed out that Washington has not scrupled to conceal its real agenda, saying, "From the beginning the US spokespersons and the secretary of state and the US representative to the UN have made it explicit that their objective is to remove the government in Syria."
The political analyst questioned the reliability of the UN peace plan in Syria and argued that such "punitive peace plans" merely accuse the government of violating the peace deal, while they give a free hand "to financed and armed terror instruments of the Qataris of the Saudis of the Turks of the Libyans under the direction of imperialism."
