[Rooters] Syrian President Bashar al-Assad urged states fighting terrorism to share intelligence, Syrian state media reported on Wednesday, saying European policies were responsible for attacks by Islamist gunmen in France last week.
Condemning the Paris attacks, Assad accused Western policymakers of being short sighted - criticism of their policy of support for the 2011 Syrian uprising that descended into an insurgency dominated by hardline Islamist militants.
| All of which suggests 'intelligence sharing' may not be taking place at any level btwn Syria and the west, which is inexcusable. |
"Inexcusable"? I think you meant to use the word "prudent": Assad is a thug, murderer and all-round asshole. I wouldn't trust any 'anti-terrorist' information he provided to western intel agencies and would immediately assume anything we'd get from his thugocrats to be a false-flag spoon-fed to us by the Iranians. The only dealings I would have with Mr. Assad, if I were president (and it's a darned shame no one's yet asked me) would be with the pointy end of a JDAM.
Or perhaps I missed the /sarc tag... |
