This is a NATO sponsored mission, but the US is part of it. The interview you quoted said
>The rebels are terrorists, they believe, killing civilians and policemen, yet
>America coddles them, even supplying them with weapons (a popular belief).

Of course you believe it because you want to believe the worst of the US, but the "Essential Harvest" mission is all about

1. taking weapons AWAY from the rebels
2. Giving rights back to them

That is official information, not just the word on the street!
