| Obama rules out alliance with Syria's Assad against IS |
| 2014-11-17 |
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] U.S. President Barack Obama...Dreams of My Sainted Father on Sunday rejected any alliance with Bashir al-Assad against the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group, arguing that the Syrian ruler was illegitimate and that any such pact would backfire. "Assad has ruthlessly murdered hundreds of thousands of his citizens. As a consequence, he has completely lost legitimacy with the majority of the country," Obama told news hounds after a G20 summit in Brisbane. "For us to then make common cause with him against ISIL (ISIS) would only turn more Sunnis in Syria in the direction of supporting ISIL and would weaken our coalition (against ISIS)," he said. U.S. reports this week said the president had ordered a wholesale review of his administration's Syria policy, with Assad still in power despite an armed uprising that is now in its fourth year. The conflict has become many-sided as jihadists gain ground, notably ISIS and the al-Nusra ...the current nom de guerre of al-Qaeda in the Levant, which isn't to be confused with al-Qaeda in Iraq and the Levant... Front, which is affiliated to al-Qaeda. Obama has built an international coalition against IS as it rampages across both Syria and Iraq. The coalition in September launched its first air strikes against the bad boys, using Syrian air space, and Obama is deploying up to 1,500 more U.S. troops to Iraq. The president denied that he intended to recalibrate his Syria policy, insisting that it was reviewed all the time to see what was working and what was not. "Certainly no changes have taken place with respect to our attitude towards Assad," he said in Brisbane. "This is a fight against extremisms of any stripe that are willing to behead innocent people or mow down political prisoners with a cruelty that we've very rarely seen in the modern age," he added. |
