Former CIA contractor, Steven D. Kelley, says that the ISIL terrorist
group is a completely fabricated enemy created and funded by the United
States.
“This is a completely fabricated enemy,” he said in a phone interview with Press TV from Anaheim, California on Thursday.
“The funding is completely from the United States and its allies and for
people to think that this enemy is something that needs to be attacked
in Syria or Iraq is a farce because obviously this is something that we
create it, we control and only now it has become inconvenient for us to
attack this group as a legitimate enemy,” Kelley added.
He made
the remarks as US President Barack Obama is under pressure to seek
congressional approval before expanding Washington’s military air
campaign against ISIL targets from Iraq into neighboring Syria.
The
Pentagon has already launched at least 100 airstrikes on ISIL positions
in northern Iraq since Obama authorized the use of force against the
terrorist group earlier this month.
The White House insists it
does not need explicit congressional authorization for those operations
because they are intended to protect American personnel and interests
inside the Arab country.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest
said Monday that Obama “will not hesitate to use his authority” to keep
Americans safe, but added that the president was “committed to
coordinating and consulting with Congress” on a decision to hit ISIL
targets in Syria.
“If you want to get to the root of the problem
and remove this organization, the first thing they need to do is to
remove the funding and take care of entities responsible for the
creation of this group,” Kelley said.
“I believe that this ISIS
group would probably go away, would be easily defeated by the armies of
[Syrian President] Bashar Assad,” he said.
