A
WikiLeaks document of an alleged telegram sent from Damascus appears
to show the US had big plans when it came to Syria — long before
the conflict began in 2011.
In
the 2006 document classified as “secret,” the US allegedly wrote
plans to want to destabilize the Syrian government.
That
in itself may not be very interesting; the US is not exactly known
for its support for President Bashar al-Assad. The whole country has
been listed as a “state sponsor of terrorism” since 1979. The
devil, however, is in the details.
There
have been several conspiracy theories when it comes to the US
involvement with Daesh (ISIS) — creating the militant group to
overthrow Assad and destabilize the region. This document appears to
support some of those theories.
“Possible
actions” to destabilize the regime addressed lots of issues that
continue to play on Middle Eastern politics today, often seeming to
have a disregard for the consequences for Syrians. Strategies
included using the media to cause “Bashar personal angst and may
lead him to act irrationally.”
