“He created this illusion that America was getting ready to go to war against Syria in order to create this backlash the world over against this attack,” said Glenn who is the co-founder of the Crescent and Cross Solidarity Movement.
“And of course Obama has made sure that Congress will not approve this so that he has a justification for going to [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu and saying ‘I’m sorry Mr. Prime Minister but my hands are tied. I cannot initiate this war against Syria because I cannot get rational approval,’” he added.
On Saturday, US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov reached an agreement on a framework for Syria to verify it is eliminating all its chemical weapons.
Kerry met with Netanyahu in Jerusalem al-Quds one day after the agreement was reached in Geneva in order to assure Washington’s staunch ally in the Middle East that the deal would be capable of removing Syria’s chemical weapons.
“Kerry’s being in Israel at this time is to explain to Netanyahu that the war plans against Syria are off, that the United States is not going to initiate this attack, and that the United States is not going to initiate any attack against Iran,” Glenn said.
“The United States has demonstrated now for many, many years that it will only attack countries that cannot defend themselves,” he pointed out.
