US Support For Turkey Enables Syrian 'Moderate Rebels' to Commit Atrocities

On Tuesday, US State Department spokesperson Mark Toner said the United States would reconsider providing aid to Syrian opposition group Nour al-Din al-Zenki if reports are confirmed that members of the faction beheaded a child.

​The Free Syrian Army (FSA), Toner said, was putting together a commission to investigate the incident.
 
According to Todd, the West's blind insistence on supporting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at any cost has allowed terrorists to be sheltered, armed and to travel freely to and from Syria, spreading their extremism abroad with total impunity.
 
The boy beheaded by the Syrian rebel group, Todd suggested, was undoubtedly not the first or even most recent victim of these power-hungry fanatics.
 
In the aftermath of the failed coup attempt, Todd warned, expect to see Erdogan exponentially increase his support for terrorist factions in Syria.
 
The Free Syrian Army, she added, is basically a group spawned and nurtured by Turkish President Erdogan to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Assad and install a Syrian government beholden to Ankara.
 
The Turkish government has launched a wave of purges in the judiciary, military, civil service and education in the wake of the July 15 military coup attempt that killed over 200 people and injured some 1,500. Earlier on Wednesday, Erdogan declared a three-month state of emergency in Turkey.
