Revealing 2017 interview with former Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Qatar.

Mr. Hamad Bin Jassim pulls no punches in a BBC interview from last year. U.S. complicity in the dirty war on Syria is clear. As I never fail to point out, that war is no civil war”:

A few days ago, former Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Qatar Hamad Bin Jassim in an interview with the BBC announced that his country had been providing all sorts of assistance to the armed opposition groups in Syria through Turkey for years. At the same time, Doha wasn’t alone to show its supports to anti-Assad forces, as it was joined by the United States, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE and Turkey itself. All this began back in 2007 after Israel suffered a humiliating defeat in South Lebanon, while being unable to overcome Hezbollah’s resistance in 2006. According to the former Qatari Prime Minister, Qatar was in charge of the so-called “Syrian Dossier” on behalf of the US and Saudi Arabia, adding that he had access to both American and Saudi paperwork on the staging of a so-called “Syrian civil war.”^[1]

A couple of telling bits of information from him about the Syrian war:

• ”a total of 137 billion dollars was wasted on the attempts to topple Assad’s government since the beginning of the war, while some of these funds were stolen by various field commanders that became millionaires overnight.” (Emphasis added).
• The U.S. allocated six “special reconnaissance satellites” for “intelligence officers from the United States, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Morocco, Jordan, Israel, France and Great Britain” at Incirlik AFB to have non-stop surveillance of all of Syria and to “coordinate the course of proxy operations in Syria.”

The next time the U.S. is vague about what took place where and over what time period, keep that non-stop surveillance in Syria in mind, not to mention AWAC and JSTARS assets as well.

It’s a short piece and highly recommended.
