The PFLP added that McCain is using propaganda in his elections campaign in order to ”show that the United States is conducting serious wars in the so-called War on Terror”. Palestinian Legislator, Jamil Majdalawi, member of the PFLP political bureau, stated that “the Bush administration is manipulating the public in the US in order to make them believe that the US is facing real dangers and is leading serious wars against terror. Majdalawi added that the US administration is supporting McCain by spreading rumors and lies that manipulate the public opinion of ordinary Americans. “The US administration and its security agency always spread lies about Iraqi weapons, and is now spreading lies about Syria”, he stated, “this all falls as part of the lies and manipulation practiced by the US security agency”. In an interview with the Palestine Today news agency, Majdalawi said that “it is not strange that the US aggression in Iraq is trying to spread to other Arab countries”, and added that the US is interested in installing more military bases in the Middle East in order to give justification to the US aggression in the Middle East and its support of Israel”. Eight civilians were killed in the US air strike on Sunday; among the dead was a father and his four sons. Syria considered the attack as a war crime, and the Tishrin governmental newspaper stated that “the US fores in Iraq have committed cold-blooded murder in Syria”. The United States holds Iran and Syria responsible to the bombing and attacks against US and Iraqi troops in Iraq, and claims that Syria sponsors terror in the Middle East especially since it has strong ties with Tehran. |
