That U.S. air attack on a village in Syria, near the border with Iraq, this past Sunday “was intended to send a warning to [the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in] Damascus to take stronger action against Iraq-bound foreign jihadists” who are operating within Syria’s borders. “The warning came as senior officials in Washington gave their clearest briefings yet on the purpose of the raid, despite the continued official silence from the Pentagon and [the U.S.] State Department.” An anonymous, senior Bush-gang official told Britain’s Times: “You have to clean up the global threat that is in your backyard and if you don’t do that, we are left with no choice but to take these matters into our own hands….” Bush’s reps “said that Abu Ghadiyah [full name: Badran Turki Hishan al-Mazidh], the Iraqi national targeted and allegedly killed in the attack, had run a network channeling foreign fighters, weapons and funds into Iraq since 2004.”
