They have left the ranks on their own or on the orders of the army. “But those who returned – as noted edition – represent only a small part of what has been lost. In June, when militants of the Islamic state invaded northern Iraq across the border with Syria, there was a complete collapse of the four Iraqi divisions totaling about 30000 troops, although it is unclear how many of them were killed and many fled – alone or on the orders. Some units left the advancing enemy all their weapons and equipment. “The rapid advancement of militants, as well as the retreat of the Iraqi army, was a complete surprise for the United States actively participated in the formation of the Iraqi Armed Forces. President Barack Obama said the United States underestimated the Islamic state and overestimated allies. Although the first shock of surprise attack took place, the fighters of the Islamic State, according to the newspaper, “continue to cause damage to the reputation of the Iraqi army,” and as recently as last week, near the city of Ramadi, 150 Iraqi soldiers forced to leave their positions and weapons and flee.

Islamic state is a product of American policy, the American analysts

“There is no better illustration for the bankruptcy of the Obama administration’s foreign policy as funding groups that again and again turn against the United States,” – said Democratic Congressman Kucinich

WASHINGTON, September 26. Extremist movement Islamic State (IG) in Iraq and Syria, which the United States struggle to mobilize the international community, is a product of the policy of Washington and its allies in the region.

Expressed confidence in this Thursday in a commentary published in the independent network share “News of the means of readers” (Reader Supported News), a former American Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich. In fact, the text, entitled “Why we actually bombed Syria” – a response to the statement made ​​on the eve of President Barack Obama’s UN General Assembly.

“There is no better illustration for the bankruptcy of the Obama administration’s foreign policy as funding groups that again and again turn against the United States – the author writes, who until last year was represented in Congress is one of the districts in the state of Ohio, and in 2004 and 2008 fought for the nomination US presidential.

“The fact is indisputable: the Islamic State came to light as a result of Western intervention in Iraq and covert operations in Syria – continues Kucinich. – Reminiscent of Frankenstein experiment with weapons allegedly freedom-Syrian opposition has created a monster that is now scouring the region.”

The author explains that the Islamic State “stuck in the region, thanks to the financing and arming of his predecessors in Syria, the United States, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and Jordan,” and the bombing of Syria connects with a desire to “take away the Islamic State control of oil.”

“Now, Qatar and Saudi Arabia are open to join the United States in strikes against Syria – after they have tried for years to secretly dump the last secular state in the region – continues a retired American politician. – We are now promoting the agenda of the real Islamic states – Saudi Arabia and Qatar – in the name of the struggle with a ghostly Islamic state IG “.

“This attack on Syria under the pretext of attacks on the Islamic State is by definition a war of aggression – emphasizes Kucinich. – It is a violation of international law. It can lead to crimes against humanity and death of countless number of civilians. Streamlined by the PR and phrase-mongering did not change. And yes, members of the Democratic administration, including the president himself, who conducted this policy should be held accountable before the International criminal Court and the American people whom they serve. ”

If the answer to this ever comes to that, the creators of the current policy of the United States, obviously, will try to lead his defense some legal reasons. Those already analyzed by the editor of an online edition “Konsorshem News” Robert Perry in the comments “Legal innovations Obama for bombing Syria.”

“The Obama administration has come up with an extraordinary legal authority to bomb Syria – the author writes. – As if the United States and its allies in the Persian Gulf have the right to defend Iraq from the” Islamic state “because the Syrian government is not able to cope with the cross-border terrorist group . ”

Not to mention the danger of this kind of case-law arguments, analysts say, “there’s another hypocrisy, because it is the Government of the United States and many of the same allies in the Gulf region were armed, trained and financed the Syrian rebels to prevent the Syrian military control over the territory of their own country and now links to the absence of such control are the basis to ignore Syrian sovereignty”.

“In other words – explains Perry – United States, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, and other enemies of Syria secretly supported the Syrian rebels and watched as many of them, including thousands of” moderate “darlings United States, along with his military skills joined the ranks of the branches of “Al Qaeda” and other terrorist organizations. And now the United States and its allies have the audacity to indicate the presence of terrorist groups in Syria, as a reason to apply for Syria bombing. ”

The author points and one more “disturbing aspect of the legal theory of the United States.” As part of the anti-Syrian coalition, he recalls, only Jordan has a common border with Syria. “Therefore, this innovation means that remote country supposedly have the right to destabilize some faraway state, and then assert that the destabilization justify armed attacks within this state,” – says Perry.

“Such a theory, if you take it for a new standard of conduct would create chaos in the international order based on the principle of national sovereignty – he continues. – In addition, the theory of the United States in stark contrast to Washington’s hypocritical focus on the stability of international law for conviction of Russia for what is the last summer trying to protect ethnic Russian population of eastern Ukraine cruel attacks Kiev regime that came to power in a coup supported by the United States. ”

It is interesting that Kucinich and Perry – representatives of the liberal left wing of the American political spectrum. In due time their supporters were the main support of Barack Obama on his way to the White House. Now they are trying to dissociate themselves from the anger of the current president of the USA and its aggressive foreign policy.

Also we were hoping for democratic modernization of Russia “- said Komorowski.

“However, what happened in Eastern Europe six months ago, those hopes crashed and created a threat to the security on our continent of Europe. In our part of Europe, people are once again wondering how long the war as a method of achieving political goals become a reality in Europe. We can not agree on the cruelty and brutality in international affairs, “- he said.

Earlier in New York Komorowski explained to journalists that “Poland is interested running at least a gradual reform of the UN.” According to him, Poland considers it necessary to start an internal debate about the direction of change in the United Nations. “We should be very careful and take into account the interests of the great powers struggle. Poland has an ambition to try to get the non-permanent membership in the Security Council, possibly in 2017-2018 years”, – said the Polish leader. As he said, it may be important in terms of expanding opportunities for the Polish launch of the discussion and the subsequent impact on its direction.
