Syria- TIME TO ASK HARD QUESTIONS
Syria- TIME TO ASK HARD QUESTIONS –
Let’s cut the rhetoric at this late date! You can’t blame Putin for having taken the initiative while the US and its allies were caught in their own policy cobweb made further ungovernable by Erdogan and his gang! Putin is to be credited for having masterminded the turning point in the world’s fight against ISIS. He should also be given due recognition for his direct and decisive attack on the illicit ISIS oil trade going through Turkey and surely with the blessing of Turkish authorities. Didn’t we know who was behind this trade? Didn’t we know who that oil was destined for? Something is fundamentally wrong when we cannot decide who our true friends and adversaries are in the region.
Now is the time to ask these painful questions. We will soon be choosing our presidential candidates who will be confronting these hard battles as of day one of the new presidency. It is high time for an intelligent debate on these real issues.
