Press TV has conducted an interview with Jim W. Dean, an editor at Veteran’s Today, in Atlanta, about the ISIL and the US-led coalition to fight it.

Press TV: The US boasts that this is a US-led drive but not a US fight, with 40 countries involved... we count one Jordanian airstrike; so is there minimal participation by these countries as the US has said they are the ones actually leading this?

Dean: A lot of this war on terror stuff has been theater staging. The fraud that is going on here is that the war on terror – this thing on ISIS – is just another phony war on terror because it is an offshoot of the terror campaign that we (the US) launched against Syria.

They thought it was a great idea to take these unemployed men with no marriage prospects and use them for cannon fodder – inexpensive cannon fodder for regime change – because they knew American people wouldn’t support American troops doing it anymore.

To think they thought they were going to be able to control these people once they let it out like a Frankenstein was just idiotic.

What’s happened is exactly what we said would happen, they changed sides... and the so-called moderate opposition fed the ranks of the more radical ones because they were beating the Syrian army more.

This really took off when so-called moderate rebels weren’t delivering the victory in Syria that they wanted; they allowed [Persian] Gulf countries to fund the more radical ones to come in and launch a northern campaign.

They (US and regional allies) put brigade-sized terrorist groups into the field and we were astounded. Letting all of these people getting experience even when this fight is over, they are going to be on the market to go somewhere else and you are going to have mayhem going on all over the place, which is exactly what’s happening.

So all they are trying to do now is to hide their mistakes and try to keep the game going, but without accepting any responsibility that it’s a disaster that they created.
