Seymour M. Hersh on US intelligence sharing in the Syrian war
http://www.lrb.co.uk/v38/n01/seymour-m-hersh/military-to-milita
some elements within the US military began tacitly cooperating with Assad
two years ago after becoming concerned with Turkey and Saudi Arabia's
support for Sunni extremists.
‘Our policy of arming the opposition to Assad was unsuccessful and actually
having a negative impact,’ the former JCS adviser said. ‘The Joint Chiefs
believed that Assad should not be replaced by fundamentalists. The
administration’s policy was contradictory. They wanted Assad to go but the
opposition was dominated by extremists. So who was going to replace him? To
say Assad’s got to go is fine, but if you follow that through – therefore
anyone is better. It’s the “anybody else is better” issue that the JCS
had with Obama’s policy.’ The Joint Chiefs felt that a direct challenge to
Obama’s policy would have ‘had a zero chance of success’. So in the
autumn of 2013 they decided to take steps against the extremists without
going through political channels, by providing US intelligence to the
militaries of other nations, on the understanding that it would be passed on
to the Syrian army and used against the common enemy, Jabhat al-Nusra and
Islamic State. | b********n

在obama忙着bring US down的时候， 还是有不少人不愿意助纣为虐的。
