US Special Forces Caught Red-Handed inside Syria. US Guiding
Airstrikes against al-Assad Government in Support of Kurdish
Separatists
By Dr. Christof Lehmann
Evidence about the presence of U.S. special forces in the Syrian town
Ayn al-Arab a.k.a. Kobani emerged. Troops are guiding U.S. airstrikes
as part of U.S support for the Kurdish separatist group PYD and the
long-established plan to establish a Kurdish corridor.
A photo taken in Ayn al-Arab shows three U.S. soldiers. One of them
“Peter” is carrying a Bushnell laser rangefinder, an instrument
designed to mark targets for U.S. jets, reports Ceyhun Bozkurt for
Aydinlik Daily.

The photo substantiated previous BBC interviews with U.S. soldiers who
are fighting alongside the Kurdish separatist group PYD in Syria.
The photo of the three U.S. troopers also substantiates a statement by
PYD spokesman Polat Can from October 14, 2014, reports Aydinlik Daily.
Can admitted that a special unit in Kobani provides Kurdish fighters
with the coordinates of targets which then would be relayed to
“coalition forces”.
News about the presence of U.S. and allied special forces is not a
novelty per se. In 2012 a senior British Whitehall official would leak
to The Daily Star that British SAS and other NATO member’s special
forces had been operating in Syria for months.
Also in 2012, nsnbc international obtained a copy of the U.S. Special
Forces training circular TC 18-01 entitled Special Forces
Unconventional Warfare.
A study of the document revealed that the wars on Libya, Syria and
Iraq follow a detailed U.S. strategy that outlines a step-by-step
subversion of a country from the assessment of a feasible, cooperative
opposition to guerrilla war and regime change.
The establishment of a Kurdish State with breathing straw access to
the Mediterranean. Map plottings by Major (r) Agha H. Amin.
In a 2013 interview retired Pakistani Major and security consultant
Agha H. Amin would note:
The strategic idea of NATO, is aiming at securing the northern borders
of Israel against Hezbollah and the southern borders against Hamas; to
eliminate the Russian naval base in the eastern Mediterranean, Syrian
city of Tartous. NATO is planning to create a western strategic
corridor to maintain energy-security in the case that oil supplies
through the Strait of Hormuz are disrupted because of a war with Iran
or otherwise… One of the first steps toward the implementation of the
long-term strategic plan, is the partition of Turkey by creating
separate Kurdish areas, thereby providing NATO a direct access to
Russia’s soft underbelly in the Caucasus.
One of the objectives with unconventional warfare is “plausible
deniability”. That is, for the U.S. government as well as for the
Turkish AKP-led government with regard to its participation in the
Kurdish Corridor project.
U.S.special forces have long been known for playing an active role in
the invasion of Iraq with ISIS brigades.
Turkish special forces were caught red-handed, playing an active role
in Jabhat al-Nusrah’s invasion of the predominantly Armenian – Syrian
town of Kessab. The city is located inside the envisioned “Kurdish
Corridor”.
The final decision for the invasion of Iraq with the help of ISIS,
first to destabilize the country and then to justify the carving out
of a Kurdish Northern Iraq, was according to a witness known to nsnbc
international, made on the sidelines of the Atlantic Council’s Energy
Summit in Istanbul in November 2013.
The news about U.S. special forces in Syria is no novelty per se. The
emergence of a photo that is verifiable with the help of metadata and
corroborating testimony is, however, one of the first tangible pieces
of evidence that supports the notion that NATO’s “Kurdish Corridor
Project” is alive and kicking regardless how much the US government
and Turkish AKP government “posture and position” themselves as being
in disagreement.
