IF IT IS BLOWBACK, WHY HAS ISIS LEFT OUT THE US?
The anti-ISIS coalition is led by the United States. Yet the terrorist organization appears to have gone for a soft partner in France.
Okay let's assume that ISIS knows France's past; that this European nation has meddled in Middle East since 1917; that France was the colonial masters of Syria.
But then is ISIS so stupid that it actually strengthens the French government of Francois Hollande who has waged a war against them?
Don't the terrorists know that the Paris attacks have helped Hollande against his main political opponent, Marine Le Pen of National Front, in the 2017 French elections?
All those political parties, like Pegida in Germany, the UK Independence Party, are arrayed against largely the current establishment of Europe which is officially at war against ISIS.
Why would ISIS strengthen those very forces that have vowed to wipe them out? They have increased Europe's subservience to Washington.
WHY WOULD ISIS WANT THE RETURN OF REFUGEES?
ISIS wants to capture Iraq and Syria.
The fleeing masses, the refugees, actually help their cause in the destruction and chaos.
By hardening the stance of the West and France, ISIS has now shut the doors on refugees to Europe. France has already declared its borders closed. Now the US and Europe will vow to return millions of distressed refugees to their much-vaunted homes. So the avowed mission of giving refugees their rightful homes in the war-torn nations will now begin. In short, a sustained campaign against ISIS.
The return of refugees could only happen if ISIS is eliminated. Why would ISIS extend such an invitation?
If ISIS is so stupid, how did it deceive the entire French intelligence apparatus for one whole day in Paris? Or if ISIS is intelligent why it would they cause the Paris attacks and bring the doom on themselves?
SO WHO STANDS TO BENEFIT FROM THE PARIS ATTACKS?
This much is certain. The waning support for the US-led coalition for the removal of Syria's Assad will now get a fresh lease of life.
Just as happened after 9/11, when then president George Bush seized the moment to declare a "War on Terror."
