From the first sudden, and quite dramatic, appearance of the
fanatical Islamic group known as ISIS which was largely unheard of until
a year ago, on the world's stage and which promptly replaced the worn
out and tired al Qaeda as the world's terrorist bogeyman, we suggested
that the "
straight to beheading YouTube clip" purpose behind the
Saudi Arabia-funded Islamic State was
a simple one: use the Jihadists as the vehicle of choice to achieve a
political goal: depose of Syria's president Assad, who for years has
stood in the way of a
critical Qatari natural gas pipeline,
one which could dethrone Russia as Europe's dominant - and belligerent -
source of energy, reaching an interim climax with the unsuccessful
Mediterranean Sea military build up of 2013, which nearly resulted in
quasi-world war.
The narrative and the plotline were so transparent, even Russia saw right through them.
Recall from September of last year:
If the West bombs Islamic State militants in Syria without consulting Damascus, LiveLeak reports
that the anti-ISIS alliance may use the occasion to launch airstrikes
against President Bashar Assad’s forces, according to Russian Foreign
Minister Sergey Lavrov. Clearly comprehending that Obama's new strategy against ISIS in Syria is all about pushing the Qatar pipeline through (as was the impetus behind the 2013 intervention push), Russia is pushing back noting that the it is using ISIS as a pretext for bombing Syrian government forces and warning that "such a development would lead to a huge escalation of conflict in the Middle East and North Africa."
But it's one thing to speculate; it's something entirely different to have hard proof.
