On February 20th, 2020 Morgan Ortegus, the Trump Administration appointed spokesperson for the US State Department posted the message (Tweet) shown above. The statement shows clear support for the province of Idlib Syria which is the last section of Syria still besieged by terrorist groups of the FSA (Free Syrian Army) and al-Qaeda. The SAA (Syrian Arab Army) has driven the terrorist groups into the Idlib pocket over the past few years and has been eradicating them within Idlib with the direct military support of the Russian Armed Forces while attempting to limit civilian casualties. The terrorist groups are using civilians as human shields to delay the advance of the SAA into Idlib. Link to US State Dept. Spox Morgan Ortegus Tweet: https://twitter.com/statedeptspox/status/1230575183230009346 In July 2018, Brett McGurk, the US Special Envoy For The Global Coalition To Counter ISIS spoke at a conference organized by the Middle East Institute. McGurk stated – "Idlib province is the largest Al Qaeda safe haven since 9/11 tied directly to Ayman al-Zawahiri [current leader of Al Qaeda].” He then immediately added that "the Al Qaeda presence in Idlib is a huge problem and has been so for some time.” Link to McGurk video (Full McGurk statement is much more revealing as to the nature of al-Qaeda in Idlib):

These two statements by these two US representatives acting in their official capacity are in direct contradiction to each other. Someone is clearly not telling the truth. This post will provide evidence that US Special Envoy Brett McGurk is the person telling the truth to the American people while US State Department Spox Morgan Ortegus is clearly not providing the American people the real story about Idlib and the FSA who are aligned with al-Qaeda in Syria.

Screenshots of those posts and responses to Morgan Ortegus tweet are posted below for posterity in this new era of disinformation, mass propaganda saturation and online/social media censorship. On December 21, 2018 Brett McGurk resigned his position due to dissatisfaction with official government actions in relation to events in Syria. Link to McGurk Tweets shown above: https://twitter.com/brett_mcgurk 2nd Tweet is from February 25, 2020 and shows that Brett McGurk believes Donald Trump to be misleading the American people about Syria. https://twitter.com/brett_mcgurk/status/1232326444530798593 Seven years ago in summer 2013, the Guardian UK reported that the western, Israeli and Gulf State backed FSA (Free Syrian Army) was comprised of al-Nusra Front (al-Qaeda in Syria). Since that time western governments and Zionist controlled media outlets have continued to support the FSA with no mention of its al-Qaeda links. In almost all western and Gulf State media the fact that the FSA is filled with Islamic extremists is completely left out of their 'official' narratives in relation to Syria.
