The United States and the "international community" have adopted a new path of conspiracy against Syria under counter-terrorism pretexts as all the other paths of stirring sectarian seditions, employing terrorist groups and launching political as well as military attacks have failed to eradicate the authorities in Damascus and to destroy the whole country.
Knowing the fact that the US administration follows the track of deception regarding the implementation of the UN resolutions, Syria responded firmly; Foreign Minister Walid Moallem stated, "Our military possesses air defense systems, and we are ready to down any of the international coalition's warplanes if it does not coordinate its steps with the state in Syria."
Diplomatically, this means that Syria will not allow the United States to forge the international resolution according to its interests, citing the Libyan model which displayed how the US utilized the UN Security Council resolution about imposing a no-fly zone and securing humanitarian passages in order to dethrone Moamer Gaddafi's regime.
The United States, in response, rejected the Syrian condition to cooperate to strike ISIL.
The strategic expert general Amin Hotait told Al-Manar website that the international resolution must have taken into consideration that the emergence of ISIL and Nusra groups was not away from the West and a number of regional countries.
"Saudi, Qatar and Turkey funded, trained and embraced these terrorist groups in order to encounter the axis of resistance in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon," he pointed out, "Israel, as part of the US-terrorist plot, assumes the task of striking the Palestinian resistance in Gaza."
Regarding the US airstrikes against ISIL in Iraq, Dr. Hotait said that they just serve the American interests, arguing that if the US wanted to sustain Iraq's security it would have supported the Iraqi army when ISIL terrorists started their assault against Mosul.
General Hotait added that the US airstrikes aim at controlling the advance of ISIL in order not to threaten the American interests, including the security in Kurdistan.
Dr. Amin Hotait considered that although the international resolution 2170 declares that Syria is encountering a terrorist aggression, not a popular revolution, it does not include a practical mechanism to implement it and to account the states which support ISIL and Nusra groups.
