Israel only beneficiary of Syria turmoil: Mark Glenn
Press TV has conducted an interview with Mark Glenn, an author and journalist in Idaho, about US President Barack Obama’s recent remarks that there is no “military solution” to the conflict in Syria, days after Washington announced plans to train anti-Damascus militants.
The following is a rough transcription of the interview.
Press TV: Mr. Glenn, can these waters get any murkier coming out of Washington? Why would you start training the so-called moderate militants to prolong a war, and then turn around and say that there is no military solution to the war?
Glenn: Right, this is what Obama has to do in order to maintain this illusion that what is taking place on the ground in Syria is anything other than a Zionist and American plot to overthrow the government of Bashar al-Assad through means less personally demanding than what the Americans had to do with regards to Iraq.
It is not a complicated problem as Obama said… the situation on the ground in Syria is a very simple problem to understand. It is one word long and it is spelled I.S.R.A.E.L, Israel. Israel is the only beneficiary in the region who stands to gain from all the turmoil talking place in Syria. Israel laid out her plans decades ago when a paper was written for then Benjamin Netanyahu outlining how various governments in the region had to be taken down and replacement put in there… they were going to be more cooperative with Israel’s short and long-term agenda in the region.
Press TV: Mr. Glenn, Obama also says that Washington is not involved in the Syrian conflict. In your opinion, how honest of an assessment is that?
Glenn: Well, it is a bold-faced lie but the fact of the matter is that, unfortunately, he can get away with saying this because the American people do not pay any attention to foreign affairs. They… pay attention when things start going up in their own country.
So he can afford to say this and it will give him some traction because certainly will keep the American people focused on other things. At the end of the day, people will continue to die, people will continue to suffer until people understand that the United States government does not belong to the people of the United States but rather, at this moment, it is firmly in the grips of a foreign hostile power sitting along the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea and that power is Israel.
