EUA, hipocrisia é sem limites:
Cruza os braços, enquanto aliado Qatar promove terror na Síria.
"Terrorismo só é ruim quando é contra nós".
Qatar has simultaneously been championed as a Western ally in the fight against terror and criticized as the Middle East's chief enabler of radical jihad. It may have found a way to be both, say regional experts. By reportedly paying groups like Al Nusra tens of millions of dollars to win the freedom of hostages, the gulf emirate is playing both ends against the middle and potentially jeopardizing the security of the U.S.-led coalition mission against Islamic State, critics say. They note that last week, 45 Fijian UN peacekeepers, who had been kidnapped while on patrol in the Syrian Golan Heights by the Al Nusra Front, were released unharmed following intervention from Qatar that allegedly included a $20 million payment. While numerous reports trumpeted the ‘White Knight’ role played by Qatar in the affair, a more cynical view from the region was that the nation largely responsible for establishing the Al Qaeda-linked terror group had found a way to give it a big check -- while burnishing its image with the West. Lebanon’s Daily Star recently reported that the Qataris sent a delegation to meet face-to-face with both the Al Nusra Front and Islamic State to discuss Lebanese hostages held by those groups, indicating stunning direct contacts with two of the world’s worst terror organizations.
