Alwaght - America Vice-President Joe Biden has revealed that America’s key allies in the West East have allowed the rise of the ISIS terrorist group, saying they have supported extremists with money and weapons in their eagerness to oust the Bashar al Assad government in Syria.
According to the Telegraph American Vice President Joe Biden made an astounding admission to Harvard University’s John F Kennedy Forum last Thursday:
"And what my constant cry was that our biggest problem is our allies – our allies in the region were our largest problem in Syria. The Turks were great friends – and I have the greatest relationship with [Turkish President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan, which I just spent a lot of time with – the Saudis, the Emiratis, etc. What were they doing? They were so determined to take down Assad and essentially have a proxy Sunni-Shiite war, what did they do? They poured hundreds of millions of dollars and tens, thousands of tons of weapons into anyone who would fight against Assad."
"And we could not convince our colleagues to stop supplying them", Joe Biden said in a desperate try to disassociate America from unleashing the ruinous war in Syria.
Indeed, he attempted to distance his country from the mess that is emerging in the West East, while it is clear that America’s allies have conducted that policy with the knowledge of America. According to Charles Glass "The weapons supplied to the fanatics were manufactured in the US, and American intelligence in Turkey knew which rebels Turkey, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia were assisting. Moreover, the moving forces within ISIS, including its mercurial leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, were graduates of the American prison system in Iraq, where previously non-political Sunni Muslims became radicals".
America vice president in an apparent amnesia refused to talk about what America and Britain were trying to ferment in Syria only a year ago. They were not only putting staff intelligence personnel on the ground, and providing logistical support to the rebels in Syria; they were spearheading the campaign to try to oust Assad.
However, Biden was forced to apologize to UAE and Turkey over his remarks under pressure in two days. He was made to call the crown prince of the UAE to clarify that he did not mean to imply in his remarks last week that the Persian Gulf ally was supporting al-Qaida fighters in Syria.
It was the second time in two days that Biden had to call a key partner in President Barack Obama's coalition to walk back comments he made on Thursday, when he said that US allies – including Turkey, Saudi, and the UAE – had funded and armed extremist groups linked to al-Qaeda.
