Hollande describ[ed] ISIL terrorists, who have shocked the world with their reprehensible mass-executions of captive Syrian soldiers, as the “allies” of Syrian government. In another bizarre remark, Hollande claimed that the UK Parliament’s refusal to bomb the Syrian state in 2013 over allegations of its possible role in the Ghouta chemical attack of that year enabled the rise of ISIL. This is interesting for him to say, because it tells us a little more about that planned 2013 bombing campaign on Syria than Hollande would like us to know. It shows how, contrary to the statements of the US, which described the planned bombardment as “limited”, the attack would have been a regime change operation like happened in Libya. Based on this foolish argument, Hollande puts the blame for the rise of ISIL on the UK Parliament’s decision not to go to war with Syria in 2013 – a decision explicitly taken through fear of inadvertently assisting terrorist groups like ISIL.
