If you still think all the proxy wars and color revolutions aren't a real thing the US Government does, then I leave you with Exhibit A.
"U.S. State Department officially removes al-Nusrah Front from its list of foreign terrorist organizations.

MORE - Al-Nusrah Front's leader, a formerly open al-Qaeda affiliate, is now the "president" of Syria. The "group's" aim was to overthrow Assad and establish an Islamic state ruled by Sharia law in Syria."
Syria needed to be toppled to clear the path for the Qatar-Turkey Pipeline. The man that did it, was labeled a terrorist by our government, then he achieved their mission, now he's not a terrorist. Funny how that works.
