The statement of the head of the CIA about the minor role of Russia in the fight against terrorism, and its intentions in Syria are either incompetence, or intentional misrepresentation, the head of the international Committee of the Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev.

“Speaking at the annual conference Asinovskogo of the Institute, the Director of the CIA Mike Pompeo said about the lack of “clear evidence that Russia is really trying to defeat ISIL* in Syria,” calling the country’s participation in this battle is “minimal,” wrote the Senator in Facebook.

In addition, Pompeo expressed the opinion that Russia is in Syria in order “to spite America”, said Kosachev.

According to him, either “the CIA Director publicly deceives the public (and therefore the country’s leadership) misleading, distorting for political purposes and actually available in his Agency, and, of course, the Pentagon is real information”, or the CIA working from the bottom up”, totally incompetent people who do not have the operational sources and deriving information for their reports of the same American Newspapers write about Russia all sorts of nonsense”.

“Lies or incompetence. The other one is worse”, — concluded the politician.
