"...it would be misleading to the American people were we not to supplement the record."So wrote FBI Director James Comey last week in what must be the most explosive lawyer-speak ever penned. He's being attacked for 'political interference' in the election, accused of 'siding with Putin', and has a Wall Street Journal op-ed calling for him to 'resign' because - I kid you not - "Mr. Comey has lent credence to Donald Trump's toxic accusation that the system is rigged."
It is particularly interesting to see Reuters attempt to depict the assault as a "rebel" operation, despite being unable to name a single "rebel" group, and admitting the leading role designated foreign terrorist organisation Jabhat Al Nusra is playing as well as the use of clearly terrorist tactics being employed.Reuters continues by admitting much further down in its article that:
Fateh al-Sham played a big part in a rebel attack in July that managed to break the government siege on eastern Aleppo for several weeks before it was reimposed.Reuters is all but admitting that even the so-called "rebels" it attempts to credit the assault with are operating not under the banner of the "Free Syrian Army," but ultimately under the banner of Jabhat Al Nusra, quite literally Al Qaeda in Syria.
Abu Youssef al-Mouhajir, an official from the powerful Ahrar al-Sham Islamist group, said the extent of cooperation between the different rebel factions was unusual, and that the largest axis of attack was on the western edge of the city.
