As is
the case with virtually every tale told and every action taken by government
officials, something doesn’t make sense.
Or
it makes perfect sense. Which story comports better with the reality,
versions of the fairy tales like the one told above or the following?
- The United States and its allies
have created, fed, and nurtured this beast now known as ISIS.
- The US and its allies have
pretended to fight ISIS, all the while fighting Assad’s forces with the
objective of taking down the current Syrian government.
- Russia enters the fight against
ISIS and starts making serious headway, raising many unavoidable questions
among western allies of the US.
- ISIS (according to the official
narrative) conducts a coordinated attack in a major western city.
- As the bloodshed has been brought
home, western allies decide this isn’t patty cake; they demand that the US
gets serious.
- Oil trucks get bombed.
That’s my working theory. I readily
admit it isn’t fully flushed out; it is still the early stages of this episode.
