The BBC let the cat out of the bag: The PKK-affiliated Democratic Union Party (PYD) and the People's Protection Units (YPG) made a deal with Daesh to provide their butchers safe passage from Raqqa, helping the terrorists leave the region "under American protection" and sending them off to Daesh-controlled Iraqi territory.

The news created furor not only in Turkey, but also across the globe. The Americans, who have always said their main goal in Syria is to finish off Daesh, actually allowed the survival of the terrorists. Isn't this a scandal? But this stunning revelation is nothing new to us at Daily Sabah. We reported this on this column in our June 13, 2017 issue.

Here is exactly what we wrote then:

"In Syria while everyone expected Daesh to put up a brave resistance and defy the American-backed units of the so-called Syria Democratic Forces (SDF) in the city of Raqqa, it is now clear that there will be no contest. The fact that there will be no fighting means fewer lives will be lost in Raqqa and the local people will be spared the carnage that has been experienced in nearby Mosul. But unfortunately, there is a more sinister explanation for the lack of casualties that, to say the least, is horrific.

Daesh did not display even one tenth of the resistance it put up when Turkey's army and the Free Syrian Forces (FSA) took out a chunk of northern Syria from Daesh with Operation Euphrates Shield and captured the city of al-Bab. What they did in Raqqa was to forge a deal with the Syrian terrorist forces of the PYD and its military wing the YPG allowing Daesh militants to flee the city.

It seems that unfortunately, the Americans knew all along that such a deal was in the offing and that is why they did not want Turkish forces in the operation to liberate Raqqa so that Turkey would not see the sinister plot that has openly saved Daesh and sent its fighters into safety.

This is completely against all the claims that the Americans have been making - that their primary aim in Syria is to destroy Daesh. It seems they do not want Daesh destroyed and they have given them the chance to flee Raqqa and go deeper into Syria in the south. What is interesting is that once the Daesh terrorists are out of Raqqa they simply vanish into thin air, which means they are leaving Syria and heading for various parts of the world and especially to Europe.

It is no use bragging, "we told you so," as what harm has been done has been done. What good has come out of this is that everyone has been able to see the true face of the PKK, PYD and YPG and the lies that some people in the Pentagon have been pumping the media. They have been caught red handed.

There are many questions to be asked. One is, what ever happened to the PKK, which is a vicious terrorist organization that kills babies, women and elderly Kurds that they have mellowed and have shown mercy to the butchers of Daesh?

The other question is does the U.S. really want to finish off Daesh or have the Americans been misleading the world as they did before they invaded Iraq and put an end to the Saddam regime?

This is the time when the so-called freedom loving American media has to start questioning the U.S. administration about the merits of supporting Kurdish terrorists and why Daesh was given safe passage in Syria…
