The ISIL or IS threat is a smokescreen. The strength of the ISIL
has deliberately been inflated to get public support for the Pentagon
and to justify the illegal bombing of Syria. It has also been used to
justify the mobilization of what is looking more and more like a
large-scale US-led military buildup in the Middle East. The firepower
and military assets being committed go beyond what is needed for merely
fighting the ISIL death squads.
While the US has assured its citizens and the world that troops will
not be sent on the ground, this is very unlikely. In the first instance,
it is unlikely because boots on the ground are needed to monitor and
select targets. Moreover, Washington sees the campaign against the ISIL
fighters as something that will take years. This is doublespeak. What is
being described is a permanent military deployment or, in the case of
Iraq, redeployment. This force could eventually morph into a broader
assault force threatening Syria, Iran, and Lebanon.
