Prerss TV:
UK tries to hide its destructive role in arming terrorists across Syria:
Jim Brann
A commentator tells *Press TV* that the British authorities are trying to
hide their destructive role of supplying the anti-Syrian terrorists with
arms.
A senior Syrian minister has deplored Britain and France for “directly or
indirectly” providing support to terrorist group al Qaeda in an escalating
war against Syria. Faisal al Miqdad, Syria’s deputy foreign minister, also
denounced Jordan for playing “a dangerous game” in the region by
facilitating arms supplies to be transferred from its territory to
foreign-backed terrorists fighting the Syrian government.
Press TV has conducted an interview with Jim Brann, with the Stop the War
Coalition from London to shed more light on the issue at hand. What follows
is an approximate transcription of the interview.
*Press TV:* Mr. Brann how do you react to the fact that now we have
this..., you know, the fact that we now have these 200 American troops
entering Jordan?
What exactly is the United States planning at this point?
*Brann:* Well, first of all I think that we should not be surprised because
there have been so many indications in the last couple of years that to
have some specific confirmations like these 200 troops is nothing more than
confirming what we effectively knew already because you have to present a
thing, I think, in its most basic context which is that what the United
States has in the world today indisputably, is military power and the
constant question for the United States is to bring that military power to
bear and they have had some real setbacks because, you know, they thought
that they were going to march into Iraq ten years ago and they were going
to be greeted with flowers and sweets, as they said, and we know that nine
years later they disappeared, basically, with their tail between their
legs.
But there is a constant fact that they have to bring that military power to
bear and that region of the world where Syria is, is an absolutely vital
region, the most vital region you could say, for them to do that. So that
should not surprise us.
On the other hand, they have a problem that they cannot work out
effectively exactly how to do it and that is really how things have been
for two years now.
Although you have to say that they have made constant efforts and they are
always making constant efforts and I can speak more clearly about Britain
because Britain is very closely allied to the United States.
And if you look at the series of announcements made by the British
government, they are more and more deceptive because clearly Britain is
introducing military aid of various kinds into the situation while at the
same time pretending that it is not.
So it calls what it supplies for example, defensive, while it supplies
armored vehicles which then says are defensive and not offensive and so on.
But it is all very deceptive and the constant position that they are
taking, is to militarize the situation and to try and intervene militarily,
either directly or by proxy.
