The United States is using the ISIL terrorist group as a “proxy force” and “foot soldiers” to remove the Syrian government of President Bashar al-Assad, an author and radio host in Chicago says.
“What most people do not know, especially Americans, is that ISIL fighters are US allies, they were created by America, they’re US foot soldiers, US proxy forces,” Stephen Lendman told Press TV on Saturday.
“They’re being used by America in its war to replace the Assad government with a pro-Western stooge government, this is what the ‘dirty game’ is all about,” Lendman said.
The “dirty game” is to arouse more anger toward ISIL terrorists through beheadings and other brutal tactics in order to enlist more countries in President Barack Obama’s coalition against the Syrian government, he added.
ISIL militants have been trained by CIA operatives out of secret bases in Jordan and Turkey to destabilize Syria, Lendman noted.
