There was a time, however, when, in internal emails, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton\u2019s Deputy Chief of Staff and Director of Policy Planning, Jake Sullivan, admitted to the Secretary that \u201cAQ is on our side in Syria.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The email, sent to Clinton on February 12, 2012 and subsequently <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/wikileaks.org\/clinton-emails\/emailid\/23225\">exposed by WikiLeaks<\/a><\/strong><\/span>,\u00a0referenced a previous email that Sullivan had apparently sent to Clinton from the Executive Secretariat at the Operations Center. The email, among other things, contained an update on recent violence and statements made by al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri. For instance, the email reads,<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">ATTACKS RESUME IN HOMS (U) Sporadic rocket and gunfire killed at least four people in the Baba Amr neighborhood of Horns, following a partial day\u2019s lull in violence.

Al-Zawahiri also urged the Syrian people not to rely on the AL, Turkey, or the United States for assistance.euters [sic])<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">It was evident early on that the US bombing of alleged ISIS targets inside Syria was, in reality, an attempt to support the terrorist organization backed by NATO and the US as opposed to an attempt to defeat it. While such a suggestion has been repeatedly labeled as a \u201cconspiracy theory\u201d by the mainstream media and other gatekeepers in the \u201cindependent\u201d media, the fruits of America\u2019s labor in terms of the bombing campaign cannot be ignored. Likewise, neither can the world ignore the results of Saudi Arabia\u2019s bombing of Yemen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The truth is that the United States, NATO, and the GCC\/Arab League are bombing in couched support of ISIS, increasing its gains and hold on power with every sortie fired. With this fact recognized, the NATO\/GCC network of national governments can now officially be labeled as the Air Force of Al-Qaeda.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">For instance, while the secular government of Bashar al-Assad remained the only force inside Syria actually fighting al-Qaeda and ISIS \u2013 terrorist organizations trained, funded, armed, and deployed by the United States, NATO, and the GCC \u2013 the brutality of these death squads was used by the Western propaganda machine to justify a bombing campaign that was actually directed at Syrian military and civilian infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">These <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.activistpost.com\/2014\/11\/obama-to-assad-stop-bombing-isis-and.html\">strikes were launched<\/a><\/strong><\/span> against Syrian <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.activistpost.com\/2014\/09\/is-us-targeting-oil-refineries-to-stop.html\">oil refineries<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>(see <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/us-led-strikes-hit-held-oil-sites-syria-070135715.html\">here also<\/a><\/strong><\/span>), bridges, civilian neighborhoods, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.activistpost.com\/2014\/12\/israel-bombs-syria-again-hits-ag.html\">warehouses, agricultural centers<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.activistpost.com\/2014\/09\/nato-airstrikes-target-grain-silos-in.html\">grain silos<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.
