The United States admitted that it supported the Islamists because its main goal was to overthrow Assad. This was not because he was a dictator rather because it was about economic interests and pipelines. Please, Mr. Brok you have been working in the EU Parliament for a long time ago with the same Assad you describe as bad today. The EU negotiated an association agreement in 2004 until it was ready for signature. I don’t remember that at that time you opposed this in any way. There was cooperation with this same regime. Just like the cooperation with the Saudis, for example. Even though they behead people in large numbers, torture and flog them. All this does not play any role as long as there are economic interests. Assad is no longer loved because he declared his opposition to the passage of a pipeline that serves the interests of Qatar and the US and he supported Iran-financed pipeline. This is the background of what happened. Suddenly the partner Assad turned into the bad Assad then the intervention took place in the region and we actually accepted to support ISIS, al Nusra Front and all the Islamist formations that are causing panic in the US now. We accepted to supply them with weapons which the Gulf states did extensively. Therefore, the conflict remains in constant escalation.
