2. Fursan Al Haq
When Syrian militant groups backed by the Pentagon are fighting against other militant groups funded by the CIA, you know someone in Washington made a big mistake somewhere along the line. The situation is now completely out of their control, and nothing highlights this fact more than what has happened with the militant group “Fursan Al Haq.” This group is has been armed and trained by the CIA, and is also known as “The Knights Of Righteousness,” and operates under the banner of the FSA (Free Syrian Army). The CIA has paid its members a salary. Recently, they were forced to retreat out of a town in Syria when Pentagon-backed fighters from within Kurdish-controlled territories. The general idea is that the CIA are funding groups secretly to fight against Assad’s regime, whereas the Pentagon is publicly supporting rebel groups that fight against ISIS.
How can the U.S. hope to coordinate these divided factions if they don’t even know who is on their side? Why are these groups even joining forces with the Americans if they are being attacked by other forces that are also supported by the US? This plan is clearly failing, and the groups that the US are funding, training and arming are switching sides like crazy betraying the Americans while the Americans are similarly betraying them. Who is the winner in all of this mayhem? Undoubtedly, it would be ISIS, as they are in the enviable position of attacking enemies that are all too busy fighting each other to fully devote their attention towards them.
