"US had planned to topple the Syrian government long before 2011, the year that the brutal conflict broke out in the country."
"In his new book, Assange points to a cable pertaining to US Ambassador William Roebuck, who served as the Political Counselor at the U.S. Embassy in Damascus between 2004-2007, about plans for overthrowing the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad at the time."
The book based on the Wiklieaks files (Assange wrote an introduction):

- megous 8y agoMight have saved millions of people from suffering. BTW, presstv is Iranian regime's news source, ally of Assad's regime, and the party (Iran) murdering civilians in Syria the last few years. So I wouldn't expect anything objective from them.
- acqq 8y agoOther media avoided to cover the book or what’s in the wikileaks material. I’ve tried to find and failed. The book was not published by the writers of the article. They just wrote that the book exists and what is revealed. I would also like a link to NYT or WaPo but they avoided to cover the book (and even more to analyse the materials leaked). At least you can still buy the book. The material itself is still reachable on the wikileaks site.
- megous 8y agoInteresting. You're right NYT only mentioned the book in passing in one article. And I can't really find many references in any media I recognize, either.
