• Former French Foreign Minister Dumas Asserts that Britain, Not U.S., Planned War Against Syria Long Ago!

  On June 10th Roland Dumas, former French Foreign Affairs Minister, made some rather shocking revelations on Britain’s role in the war against Syria, on a program called “This Concerns You” aired on the Parliamentary TV network, LCP.  As president of the French Constitutional Court, Dumas was not exactly a friend of former French presidential candidate and Lyndon LaRouche ally Jacques Cheminade, and played a central role in targeting him. But despite his many shortcomings, Dumas always took the side of Arab countries, enjoying historically close relationships with the Syrian and the Libyan governments.

  LCP interviewed Dumas along with three others on the situation around Syria. Dumas explained, “It’s very complicated because of the fact that everybody is involved. But essentially, that’s what it is. There are two camps fighting each other — look, let me tell you something. Just about two years ago, before the hostilities started in Syria, I happened to be, by chance, in Britain, for reasons having nothing to do with Syria. And I met with British officials, some of whom are my friends, who admitted to me, soliciting my participation, that something was being prepared in Syria — and this was in Britain, not in America — Britain was preparing an invasion of the rebels into Syria. And, they had even asked me, under the pretext that I had been a foreign minister, if I would participate in such a thing. Obviously, I said, ‘Quite the contrary, I’m French, this doesn’t interest me.’

  “And this is just to say, that this operation came from far away! It was being prepared, conceived, they organized it for them….”

  LCP interrupted, “With what aim? Overthrowing Assad?”
  Dumas replied, “Very simple! With the very simple aim! To overthrow the Syrian government, because in the region, it’s important to understand, that the Syrian regime makes anti-Israeli talk. And consequently, everything that moves throughout the region— I was told confidentially by an Israeli prime minister quite a long time ago: we will try to get along with the states throughout the area, and those who don’t get along, we’ll destroy.

  “That’s one policy, that’s one conception of history, but after all, why not? But we have to be aware of that.”
