The strategy was simple, clear, tried and tested. It had been used successfully not only against Libya, but also Kosovo (in 1999), and was rapidly underway in Syria.

The Americans’ hypocrisy vis-à-vis Al-Qaeda and their predicament in Syria

C’est ainsi qu’il est toujours épatant de voir des gens qui donnent du crédit au plan diabolique contre la Syrie. Une coalition démoniaque constituée qui plus est, des pays du golfe, avec notamment les grandes, que dis-je, les très grandes démocraties que sont l’Arabie saoudite et le Qatar. C’est à mourir de rire ou pleurer de rage.
