What?! A surprise announcement. I don't think so. Nice spin, though.Here's the news: 1. Al-Nusra has a strong foothold against ISIS in northern Aleppo province, but, has announced "surprise withdrawal"2. Al Qaeda in Syria leaves area where Turkey seeks buffer3. Nusra announces surprise withdrawal from frontline against ISIS
It said the decision was being taken to avoid cooperating with a US-Turkish plan to create an IS-free zone in northern Aleppo province, along the Turkish border.
Al-Nusra is a key opponent of IS in the northern province of Aleppo along with its powerful Islamist aAl-Qaeda's Syria affiliate
Al-Qaeda's Syria affiliate Al-Nusra Front has announced a surprise withdrawal from its front lines against its jihadist rival Islamic State (ISIS) in areas along Syria's northern border with Turkey
Why, oh why, does Al Nusra have it's panties all in a bunch over this decision to create an ISIS free zone? Doesn't AQ/ Al Nusra fight ISIS? Isn't that what we have been told. Certainly that is the claim being made Why isn't Al Nusra therefore chomping at the bit to fight their avowed enemies and clear this territory? What is the real problem? Just addressing this circumstance specifically, only the Jordan Times spells it out. With a bit of misdirection, which will be clarified.
"Al Nusra said Turkey was acting to prevent the formation of a Kurdish state in northern Syria, and the Turkish government and the US-led alliance against Daesh were seeking to direct the battle according to their priorities"
Turkey was acting to prevent the formation of a Kurdish State in Northern Syria by creating an "ISIS Free Zone"? Preventing a Kurdish state by creating an ISIS free zone - Think about that for a few minutes......-How does AQ/ AlNusra Front think an ISIS free zone could impede the creation of a Kurdish state? -The Kurds are the enemies of ISIS- so we're told -The Kurds being the fiercest fighters against ISIS. and all that drivel....-How on earth could an ISIS free zone impede the creation of a Kurdish state?Contradiction? A very big one!Unless: KurdIShIS. KurdIShIS. KurdIShIS. As has been made clear at this blog, abundantly!The misdirection is here: "the US-led alliance against Daesh were seeking to direct the battle according to their priorities. "The US led alliance is not going to direct the battle according to Turkish priorities. NATO has already sold Turkey down the river. It's a bit early yet to figure out what the US is up to in this situation- However, directing this battle according to Turkish priorities is not the US/NATO/Israeli goal.And one last question? If Turkey was such a big unabashed supporter of ISIS, why would they even want an "ISIS free zone"?Flashback:
