Western politicians, “experts” and journalists are going to have
to reboot their stories over the next few days now that Bashar al-Assad’s army has retaken
control of eastern Aleppo. We’re going to find out if
the 250,000 civilians “trapped” in the city were indeed that numerous. We’re
going to hear far more about why they were not able to leave when the Syrian
government and Russian air force staged their ferocious bombardment of the
eastern part of the city.
And we’re going to learn a lot more about the “rebels” whom we
in the West – the US, Britain and our head-chopping mates in the Gulf – have
been supporting.
They did, after all, include al-Qaeda (alias Jabhat al-Nusra, alias Jabhat Fateh al-Sham), the “folk” –
as George W Bush called them – who committed the crimes against humanity in New
York, Washington and
Pennsylvania on 11 September 2001. Remember the War on Terror? Remember the
“pure evil” of al-Qaeda. Remember all the warnings from our beloved security
services in the UK about how al-Qaeda can still strike terror in
London?
