USA created Al Qaeda that is known fact. USA supports Al Qaeda in Syria is also a known fact. The bottom line USA only cares about his interest and don't cares who he supports.
Wrong, wrong, and ...right.
Right, right and right.
1. USA helped to create and supported the Mujahideen in Afghanistan. This Mujahideen later transformed in to Al Qaeda.
2. USA supports Al Qaeda in Syria against Assad.
3. Yes. USA only cares about his interest and don't cares who he supports.
1. Well aware of this. My own father had a major role in that operation. The Mujahideen was a blanket term for the resistance army fighters. It was centered around the northern alliance. Later, OBL and the Taliban formed and became bitter enemies of the Mujahideen. For example, a few days before 9/11 the "Lion of Panjshir" (Massoud) was assassinated in Afghanistan. Al Qaeda and the Talibs under Mulla Omar knew well that a war would soon be there and they had to kill the Mujahideen leaders of the northern alliance. It has become fashionable among some Taliban groups to call themselves Mujahideen, but to say that the fighters from the 80's became the Taliban is largely incorrect.
2. Totally wrong. There are HUNDREDS of groups fighting in Syria. Some are way more religiously radical than even Al Qaeda,
others seek a secular state. What little support is handed out by the US goes to secular groups such as the FSA. It is hard to keep some FSA fighter from selling his kit to finance his desertion, but Al Qaeda is a sworn enemy of the west. It would be considered punishable by death to cooperate in any way with the US. It would also be treason in the US to supply or help them in any way. Civil wars rarely have just two sides. Syria is an extreme example of just how fragmented the fighting can become.
3. It is true that, like all nations on Earth, the US is self interested. That is what diplomats do. Sometimes you even have to work with less desirable elements. But that can blow up in your face and effort is made to find the right people. War is a messy business full of compromise.
I have spent time in the region and speak some Arabic. Like you might think it is much more nuanced than the story in the news. We (the US) have done a piss poor job since 9/11 at understanding what is happening in the Islamic world. That has benefited radical groups and so I'm not defending our thoughtful policy. But if you honestly think US forces would ever even consider working with the base, then you need to look at more informed sources.
Here is a list of SOME of the Syrian groups fighting the civil war.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_armed_groups_in_the_Syrian_Civil_War1. In Afganistan USA is fighting against Russia (giving weapons to Mujahideen's) and fighting for the Opium. Talibans destroys 90% of poppy seed, and after ''USA democracy'' in Afganistan now is again poppy seed country. (you know route - Afganistan - Kosovo - Europe)
2. FYI Syria is secular state.
USA and others trying to destroy Syria (Israel don't love them(hesbolah.....))
FSA?
maybe 10% of all terorist fighter
Al Qaeda isn't enemy of USA, Al Qaeda, the network, is made by USA for the ''false flag'' operation
