Syrian Emergency Task Force Dir. Says People Should ‘Forget’ that Ahmed al-Sharaa Is a Terrorist

EXCERPT:

MOUSTAFA: "I think people should look at the actions. Forget his statements, forget anyone else‘s statement. Look at the actions on the ground. Today, I can tell you both Operation Inherent Resolve, led by Lt. Gen. Kevin Leahy and our Special Forces led by Lt. Gen. Brooks in Syria, coordinated directly with the new Syrian government under the leadership of Ahmed al-Sharaa, to fight and finalize the complete destruction of ISIS and al-Qaeda in Syria. If the person that we are saying, look, this guy is ISIS, is our partner in the fight against ISIS, as a matter of fact, he‘s become the worst nightmare for ISIS in Syria and vice versa and now we can get rid of ISIS forever. I think that speaks volumes. The fact that he‘s fighting the terrorists alongside not just ISIS, but he‘s also fighting against Iran, Russia, China, I mean, defeated all of America‘s enemies in Syria, and so, you know, the idea that he is being — you know, we‘re scared that he is someone who is ISIS or al-Qaeda, while, again, he‘s the one that‘s defeating them in Syria and working with the U.S. military on that, I think that should be enough proof for anyone to see that this is a real change — not just a real change. This is a partner in what is the mutual interests of Syrian people and the United States."
