ISIL was not in Iraq before Bush invasion, White House says

White House press secretary Josh Earnest says al-Qaeda and the ISIL terrorist group were not in Iraq before the 2003 invasion of the country by former US president George W. Bush.

“I think it’s backed up by extensive evidence that there are links between al-Qaeda in Iraq and ISIL. And the fact is al-Qaeda was not in Iraq prior to President Bush’s decision to commit significant American military resources on the ground in that country. And that is a historical fact,” he told reporters on Monday.

According to Press. TV, the remarks were made after Bush criticized President Barack Obama’s foreign policy during a closed-door gathering of Jewish donors over the weekend.

The former commander in chief said Obama withdrew American troops from Iraq too quickly in 2011 and paved the way for ISIL.

“In order to be an effective president… when you say something, you have to mean it,” Bush said at the Republican Jewish Coalition event in Las Vegas. “You gotta kill ’em.”

The White House responded to the criticism and explained why Obama is in the Oval Office now.

“The fact that President Bush has a different perspective and a different philosophy when it comes to foreign policy is just a well-known difference. In the minds of many people, it’s the principal reason that President Obama is sitting in the Oval Office right now,” Earnest said.

Thus, Machiavelli’s the end justifies the means has been extensively used by the USA and its satellites’ officials! Terrorism and terrorist groups were invented and mushroomed taken Machiavelli’s  words as the main guidelines. The Americans created Al-Qaeda, Al-Nusra, ISIS, along with their yes-sir ewes.

The course of events has proved that the perpetrated by the US wrong policies and their dictated ewes’ ones is entirely wrong and against humanity and life in general. Thus, the dangers looming over the ewes, their master and almost every place in the world is but their hand-made terrorism, invented as to kill others.

Earlier, the veteran Foreign Minister of Russia, the main pillar of world equilibrium, Sergei Lavrov stated the other day that the ”US doesn’t want to admit ISIS is creation of American policies.” The Americans very well know that the dangers against the world are nothing else other than theirs and their ewes’ Machiavelli’ warmongering policies! Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Carter’s National Security Advisor stated to the CNN that the U.S. organized and supported Bin Laden and the other originators of “Al Qaeda” in the 1970s to fight the Soviets: ”Brzezinski told Al Qaeda’s forefathers – the Mujahadin: We know of their deep belief in god – that they’re confident that their struggle will succeed. That land over – there is yours – and you’ll go back to it someday, because your fight will prevail, and you’ll have your homes, your mosques, back again, because your cause is right, and god is on your side.

Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State, sated before a US Senate hearing: let them-terrorists- come from Saudi Arabia and other countries, importing their Wahhabi brand of Islam so that we can go beat the Soviet Union. Thus, the main pillar in the standing US-Saudi alliance is terrorism, not only oil, armaments, wars, and sowing seditions, Wahabbism and hatred worldwide.

Here comes the importance of H.E. President Bashar Al-Assad’s recent statements that ”ISIS was created in Iraq in 2006 under the supervision of the Americans. The Americans controlled Iraq, and ISIS came from Iraq to Syria, because chaos is contagious. When you have chaos at your neighborhood, you have to expect it in your area. So, when there is chaos in Syria, ISIS came to Syria. Before ISIS came al-Nusra Front, which is al-Qaeda, and before that you had the Muslim Brotherhood. They all represent the same grassroots for ISIS to come later.” ISIS, however, with its Wahabi roots and ideology doesn’t have the incubator in Syria, as President Al-Assad underscored.
