US: You cannot make me say "PYD commits terror"

Let it go on the record that the US supported the PYD, which has played to perfection the role of lifeline for the criminal Assad regime, responsible for the savage massacre of 500 thousand of the Syrian people and the displacement of 12 million of them from their homes. These records give the highest-resolution picture of how unreliable the US is in its alliances and in its friendships, and of how it recognizes no human or democratic value in its effort to remodel the world.

There is no doubt that the support given to the PYD is, besides being open support for a terrorist organization that has declared war on Turkey, also an open kiss of life for the Assad regime.

There is no one who does not know that the PYD, with its entire being, has become a shield for Assad and is an organization of fedayeen for Assad. It was in any case Assad himself who first armed them against the Free Syrian forces from the very beginning and first assigned them, in the areas where they were located, the role of the regime's Shabbiha.

So what was the US's agenda in the meantime? Was the US not busy during this time mobilizing the entire world against the massacres Assad carried out?

When relations between Syria and Turkey were very good, was it not the US that counted Syria in the world's axis of evil, questioned Turkey's relationship with Syria, and was the first to suggest that this could be assessed as a kind of "axis shift"?

While Turkey demanded nothing in its own region but peace, tranquility and "zero problems," the US, which coded even establishing relations with Assad as a leader supporting terror as "complicity in crime," is today resorting to unimaginable means to keep Assad at the head of Syria.

The US's support for the PYD has only one meaning: keeping the Assad regime on its feet. Had it said from the beginning that this was its intention, probably none of what has happened would have happened. That is why, for the turmoil that is continuing in the region in the Syrian context, for the civilian massacres and mass migrations that are continuing, it is unnecessary even to look for a cause other than the US.

The story the US tells about its support for the PYD is that this terrorist organization has waged a successful struggle against another terrorist organization, ISIS. Yet the PYD's having such a success is merely a legend that they themselves produced and put into circulation. The PYD is incapable of advancing two meters without the air support of the seven powers, and moreover fighting ISIS is not at all on its agenda at present. Whoever is going to fight ISIS goes to Raqqa; what business does it have in Aleppo and Azaz, where there is not a single ISIS militant?

The US, which says it recognizes and codes the PKK as a terrorist organization, says it does not see the PYD, an arm of the PKK, as a terrorist organization despite the insistent warnings of Turkey, which it regards as a "strategic partner." Is it possible for the US not to know what kind of relationship exists between the PYD and the PKK?

Can the PKK so easily cease to be a terrorist organization when it carries the PYD identity? Is the US intelligence, the CIA, such a naive organization, one so easily deceived? Or is it playing the naif to the whole world and taking the world for fools? Leaving aside its support for the Assad regime through its support for the PYD, the US very plainly ends up supporting terror. From now on it will have neither the right, nor the legitimacy, nor any credibility to define for the world who the terror or the terrorist is.

The definition of terrorist and terrorism is plainly nothing but a process that the US abuses in an extremely pragmatic way while unilaterally implementing its own strategies. This has come out plainly with its support for the PYD, and therefore for Assad and Assad's terrorism.

Even the suicide bombing carried out against Turkey in Ankara was not enough to warn the US about the commitment it has entered into in this matter. The person who organized the incident, together with all his connections, was found within a short time. It was announced by Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu himself that these contacts pointed to the PYD and the YPG. In response, US State Department Spokesman Mark Toner has already announced that they have no findings that the PYD or the YPG carried out the attack.

What is this unshakable love, this indestructible benefit of the doubt toward PYD terrorism? In the case of a terror attack committed in Turkey, even at the preliminary investigation stage, such a categorical sentence about who did not do it has only one translation: "We did not do it; we have not assigned a unit to do this job around here."

Calm down, Mr. Toner. No one has accused the US!

Pay attention to Davutoğlu's statement: in this matter, it is not the US but the YPG whose connections have been found and put forward. Before September 12, Süleyman Demirel had a saying: "You cannot make me say 'rightists are killing people'!"

Both that saying and this one seem to come from the ordinary psychological state of those involved in similar affairs.
