The Khorasans: As Fake As the Kardashians

Posted on September 25, 2014 by WashingtonsBlog
New Boogeyman Has Already Been Debunked

Obama is now – after the fact – scrambling to justify bombing the sovereign nation of Syria without the permission of either the Syrian government or even the United States Congress by saying that we were going after the super-evil Khorasans, who were about to attack us.

My God! That sounds terrifying … like a cross between Genghis Khan, Klingons and the Kardashians!

The U.S. is saying that they’re even more dangerous than ISIS.

There’s just one wee little problem … the Khorasan threat is as as fake as the Kardashians’ physiques. (Admittedly, it’s confusing, given that the Kardashians have also inserted themselves right in the middle of the Syrian conflict.)

Agence France-Presse reports:

The US says it has hit a little-known group called “Khorasan” in Syria, but experts and activists argue it actually struck Al-Qaeda’s affiliate Al-Nusra Front, which fights alongside Syrian rebels.

In announcing its raids in the northern province of Aleppo on Tuesday, Washington described the group it targeted as Khorasan, a cell of Al-Qaeda veterans planning attacks against the West.

But experts and activists cast doubt on the distinction between Khorasan and Al-Nusra Front, which is Al-Qaeda’s Syrian branch.

In Syria, no one had ever heard talk of Khorasan until the US media brought it up,” said Rami Abdel Rahman, director of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

“Rebels, activists and the whole world knows that these positions (hit Tuesday) were Al-Nusra positions, and the fighters killed were Al-Nusra fighters,” added Abdel Rahman, who has tracked the Syrian conflict since it erupted in 2011.

Experts were similarly dubious about the distinction.

“The name refers to Al-Qaeda fighters previously based in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran who have travelled to Syria to fight with… Al-Nusra,” said Matthew Henman, head of IHS Jane’s Terrorism and Insurgency Centre.

They… should not be considered a new or distinct group as such.”

Aron Lund, editor of the Syria in Crisis website run by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, raised similar doubts.

The fact that news about this Al-Qaeda-run, anti-Western cell linked to Al-Nusra emerged just over a week ago, through US intelligence leaks — well, it’s certainly an interesting coincidence,” he told AFP.

Claims of a distinction are lost of many of Syria’s rebels, who have also often rejected the world community’s designation of Al-Nusra as a “terrorist” group.

When Washington added Al-Nusra to its list of “terrorist” organisations, even the internationally-backed Syrian opposition National Coalition criticised the decision.

***

On the ground, almost all rebel groups have been willing to cooperate with Al-Nusra, seeing them as distinct from the Islamic State group (IS), which espouses transnational goals and includes many non-Syrians among its ranks.

***

[The] history of cooperation [between the various crazies in Syria] has left some rebels and activists on the ground suspicious and even angry about the strikes on Al-Qaeda.

***

Some key members are believed to maintain channels of communication with Al-Nusra, including Qatar, which has helped negotiate the release of prisoners held by the group.

McClatchy adds:

Raad Alawi, the commander of a smaller group of fighters, the Squadrons of Al Haq, told McClatchy he was very angry.

“Starting the war with the bombing of Nusra is an indication that this is a war against the revolution and not [ISIS] … “Maybe next they will bomb the bases of the Free Syrian Army.”

Well, okay … experts and Syrian Islamic jihadis think there’s no distinction between the Khorasans and plain vanilla Al Nusra/Al Qaeda/Free Syrian Army fighters.

But surely America and our allies treat the moderate Syrian rebels … I mean Al Nusra … er, I mean the Khorasans … with a consistent iron fist?

Well, no … we’ve been –
directly or indirectly – backing them. And – as we’ve been warning for some time – the boys we’re arming are threatening to attack us.

So – while I’d like to believe that I’m being shown the real deal as a justification for long-term, direct involvement – I’m just not buying it

So, for 2 years you've been saying Assad was the good guy and criticizing the U.S. for opposing him ... now you're accusing the U.S. of intervening on Assad's side?

Who are you to decide which countries needs regime change. If you want regime change do at home Washington would be a good start.

I never said Assad was a good guy what I said its up to the locals to get rid of their leader not foreign governments sticking their nose in another country affairs arming foreign terrorists. Just because USA calls them rebels does not clean them of the atrocities they are committing. Beheadings by Syrian rebels was ongoing during the last three years no one in the US saws making a big deal about that USA wanted and supported beheadings of Assad loyalists this way you would have a successful at regime change.


Who would you feel if France was interfering in your country by say support blacks and Hispanic to overthrow your government. I am sure you would-be upset if anything like this happened This is an example of the type of things US does. Prove me wrong?

It has been a disaster everywhere you have intervened, Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan Iraq, Libya and now Syria all a F"mess ..

I think that the Black and Latino internal colonies have a right to defend themselves, and that outside support for their efforts would be welcome. The Comintern and USSR in fact gave substantial aid, through the Communist Party USA, to the civil rights movement, and China provided direct aid to (among others) the Black Panther Party. Are you saying that was wrong?

Remember that Assad's regime represents not so much the internal balance of power within Syria, as the projection of Russian power in the Middle East, and that the rebellion against this regime is popular and broad-based. Then the question becomes, is it legitimate for the U.S. to help the Syrians resist Russian domination?

You are comparing apples to oranges. What the Communist Party did, on behalf of Russia, for the Panthers (and some others) was miniscule and involved money and moral support, nothing more. Russia did not provide them with heavy weapons, or assist in the transportation of revolutionaries from neighboring countries to join their fight, or provide advisers under KGB cover to assist, or provide air cover for their rebellion, or threaten to invade the United States on their behalf, or encourage an insurgency against the U.S. government. Russia did not encourage Mexico and Cuba to provice logistical support to the Panthers and their allies, or a base which they could retreat to, re-group, and master-mind their revolt against the U.S. government.

The Syrian rebels have a legitimate beef against the Assad regime. They do not want a family dynasty ruling over them that is also tyrannical. It has nothing to do with Russian influence (or domination as you say) over the country. In fact, Russian influence over Syrian life was minimal. Russia has a naval base in Latakia, but their influence over Syrian life does not extend much beyond that.

And the CIA should stay out of the fight in Syria, and the U.S. should not be bombing, or threatening to invade.

I am not sure about the 'Syrian rebels' - it sounds to me as though they were not in the first place Syrians at all but Chechens - the Syrians who did fight ( most have gone home now ) were not from the modern Syria but over the other side of the dividing dessert - simple, very religious, uneducated peoples -who Saudi has been brainwashing as they did the same poor peoples in Egypt - at least this is what i heard the more modern of both countries saying -
