Daniel Patrick Welch, a political commentator, says the United States is seeking �a regime change� in both Iraq and Syria.
�The US would like to have a regime change in both countries,� Welch told Press TV on Tuesday.

He made the remarks when asked about a report that a US-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) is fighting the ISIL terrorist group over a key supply route.

The FSA is currently battling the ISIL group in north of Aleppo, Syria. In the meantime, the Obama administration is trying to devise a strategy to deal with a force that US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says is �beyond anything we have ever seen.�

Welch said it is difficult to discuss any reports which are published by US media outlets. �It�s kind of hard to comment on stories from within the US propaganda machines.�

He went on to say that �it�s kind of like a narrative they�re trying to spin, so these kinds of stories talk all about the infighting and how FSA, the moderate rebels, are mad about the diversion of resources�.

The analyst said �the whole thing is a very cleverly designed fiction, the whole idea of the moderate rebel is a myth by design and came up because, the people that the CIA and [its] allies were using, the head-choppers and heart-eaters were too gruesome for world opinion to apply.�

Welch added, �So they kept coming up for domestic political consumption and for world opinion this idea of moderate rebels.�

He stated that ISIL �is a creation of the West and it�s trying to use it as kind of a backdoor to intervention on the ground in Syria which they have not been able to achieve until now.�
