Why Obama and Hollande Are Right on Syria Posted: 06/11/2015 03:49 AEST Updated: 06/11/2015 04:59 AEST
BASHAR AL ASSAD
Forget principles and morality. Forget, or try to forget, the quarter-million deaths for which Bashar al-Assad is responsible, directly or indirectly, since choosing to respond with violence to a peaceful uprising of the Syrian people. Set aside the fact that Assad's forces have caused 10-15 times more civilian deaths thus far than the Islamic State, whose horrific execution videos have overshadowed the Syrian dictator's invisible massacres. But even if you can purge all of this from your thoughts, a policy for Syria that posits Assad as an "alternative" to the Islamic State is simply not viable. [Comment: Regime change is sought by international banker controlled USA, its neocon supporting intelligentsia, its allies (European & Arab oil) ... & this desperation for regime change in Syria is mirrored in froggy France, while the anti-Assad neocon interests serving propaganda straddles two continents separated by the Atlantic. Wow, that sounds almost like WWII.]
Assad, after all, unleashed the Islamic State's current savagery: In May 2011, he released hundreds of Islamic radicals from prison, quickly supplying the infant group with fighters and leaders. He then methodically shelled positions held by moderate rebels, while no less methodically sparing the Islamic State's stronghold in Raqqa. And then, in mid-2014, he allowed Iraqi elements of the Islamic State to find sanctuary ineastern Syria. [Comment: 'Moderate rebels' are Western & Gulf Oil proxies in Syria and beyond, who are aligned with al-Qaeda, or al-Nusra Front who are aligned with al-Qaeda, or something like that. Some have defected to Islamic State, but Islamic State is also a proxy, so it's all 'good'.]
In other words, Assad created the monster that he is now pretending to fight. Is all that not a little much for a potential ally? Can working with Assad possibly provide a sound basis for what is supposed to be a common effort? [Comment: Preposterous frog propagandist. ISIS is the proxy army of Saudi Arabia, allied Gulf States, allied USA (and European powers), as well as Israel, as I understand -- all of whom seek regime change in Syria (and destruction of Syria has been a long-time ambition of both Israel and USA), as the Syrian government is independent of the West, does not serve the Israeli, US, Saudi and allied European agenda.]
The bottom line is that Assadhas no interest in winning. The man who now holds himself up as civilization's last bulwark against the Islamic State is also the last man who wants to see it eliminated.
After all, does a chess player, even a bad one, intentionally sacrifice his most powerful piece? Do any of us ever tear up our insurance policies? Do we really believe that Assad and his cronies are too stupid to have realized that their political survival depends on that of the Islamic State and on maintaining themselves as the keepers of the gate through which the rest of us must pass to wage war against it? [Comment: Keepers of the gate? Errr ... that's called a sovereign nation ... & the US, CIA, EU and Israel (especially Israel) have no respect for that Syrian sovereign nation. The lot of them come and go as they please, without consent of the Syrian sovereign state. Everybody knows that ISIS is the Arab States', US, Israel & EU proxy. Why is he wasting his breath? Is he insane? Plus, he neglects to mention that these Western aggressors have prevented the Assad government from effectively handling this extremist threat, and have refused to cooperate with the Assad government, towards jointly tackling the extremists (who are the West's proxies).]
"Of course not," the advocates of working with him concede. "But let's take a two-step approach. Let's defeat the Islamic State and then worry about Assad." [Comment: Yeah, whatever. But right now (10-days since this publication), David Cameron is begging Vladimir Putin not to strike their ISIS proxy, so what does that tell you, froggy?]
But this approach, too, assumes that dictators are more stupid than they really are. Worse, it ignores that politics follows its own logic, or at least its own dynamics. What the sorcerer's apprentices who want to work with Assad ignore is that they would most likely have a great deal of trouble, when the time comes, distancing themselves from an ally who would not be shy about claiming his share of the victory. As a result, jihadism would rush back in, though perhaps in a different guise. [Comment: This old man is off his head. Jihadism is there because the US & its allies have always backed Islamic militants, including the nuclear armed terrorist central, Pakistan; and they've supported Afghanistan jihadist Mujahidin (now Taliban) when the Soviets were fighting there ... they've since backed the Saudi-funded extremists in Africa and the Middle East, who have defected to the Caliphate (but it's all the same deal), and the whole lot are CIA-US and allied puppet proxies in the region.
The 'sorcerer's apprentice' is Saudi Arabia, & the Gulf Oil States, USA-Israel, the Ango-SaxonWest and their European counterparts, who support terrorist networks abroad.
They're also sending a deluge of their cousins to Europe, to meet international banker demand for economic growth in step with their greed for profit and concern for integrated markets, to keep the American economic and banking house of cards from coming undone, because it's based on the fraud of a debt-based fractional-reserve currency system, that's going to go under big time because it's a sinking ship. Oh, and they invite plenty of domestic blowback upon a defenceless public, as consequence of aggression and meddling in the Middle East and in Africa.]
"Bashar al-Assad is the Syrian state," the same people say. "And we must not commit the fatal error of destroying the state." But this argument is not valid, either. The state has already failed: Assad controls only a fifth of Syria's territory, and the remaining four-fifths will never willingly resubmit to its terrifying control. If Assad's regime prevails, the state's citizens will continue to flee in droves to Turkey, Lebanon and Europe. [Comment: USA & friends funded and supported jihadist terrorists purportedly control a sizeable portion of Syria (thanks to Western backing, which is illegal pursuant to international law). But Russia's air-strikes may alter the stakes and I hope they do.
Mass exodus from Syria is far more likely if the West's Islamic fundamentalist henchmen take over, as there's not been an exodus from Assad's Syria, but rather from Assad's Syria attacked by Western backed fundamentalist terrorists.
Note also: the VAST MAJORITY of the 'Syrian' refugees the Western press has been hyping as the 'refugee crisis' are being shipped to Europe from EVERYWHERE but Syria: reportedly only one in five is 'Syrian' -- and even that is doubtful, given easily obtainable fake IDs and discarded identification among the wave of immigrants storming Europe. The bulk are from Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and other Middle Eastern and African countries.
Pakistan is refusing to accept return of their European declined citizens from Europe. But as the immigrants have destroyed their identification and cannot be positively identified, Europe is left holding these fruits of this 'Syrian' 'refugee crisis' by-Merkel-invitation that's swept over the European continent, wherever they come from and whatever their circumstances.
Quite honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Turkey, EU, Soros, international bankers, CIA (and whoever the f*ck else is geared towards regime change and destruction of Syria) is shipping those Middle Eastern immigrants across to Europe, including to an unwilling (and still sane) former eastern bloc Europe (eg Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia etc), and an unwilling European general public (save for the colluding Western intelligentsia, their various propagandists and agenda pushers, the co-opted left, and the brainwashed and brain-dead 'religiously' enthused rent-a-mob).
Unwilling Europeans, rising right, barbed wire, refusals to accept quotas etc, loss of border controls, tent cities, unidentified and unidentifiable aliens, missing aliens, bulk rape and gang rape, violence, riots etc etc ... But the scummy Western European politician banker-lapdogs persist in importing destruction to Europe, in the service of the international banking and corporate agenda. Lapdog-politicians who enable the wholesale rape of European womanhood and European native population displacement, prior to inevitable, slow genocide of the European stock ... which will come to a violent end when the numbers are tipped in favour of non-Europeans.
Philosopher and pen-pusher for the monied elites ignores that when you destroy a state you create a power vacuum, as in Libya (which is a lawless hellhole of terror and destruction 2011 to date) ... the French writer knows, because there's photos of him in Libya with what is presumably France's jihadist proxy there.]
In fact, Assad's regime cares so little for its pseudo-state that it abandons its own soldiers when they venture beyond the territory it controls, as occurred in Tabqa, near Raqqa. Baathist Syria, whatever its friends in the Kremlin and elsewhere say, is dead and buried. And no military trompe l'œil can revive it. [Comment: So why is he even bothering with this propaganda if that is the case? Ten days since the Frenchman's article was published, why is David Cameron begging the Kremlin to stop bombing his boys, ISIS?
Assad's Baathis Syria sounds like the only decent Middle Eastern government there is:
secularism
socialism
pan-Arab unionism / Arab nationalism
the rest are religious dictatorships or Western-backed religious-oil dictatorships.
The West wants to destroy the only secular country in the region, and to replace Syria's government with religious fundamentalists.]
But the supposed realists refuse to accept reality. Just as it was necessary to ally with Stalin to defeat Hitler, they claim, we should not be afraid to play the Assad card to rid ourselves of the Islamic State. Yes, jihadism is the fascism of our day, infected with plans, ideas, and a will to purity comparable to those of the Nazis. I was one of the first to suggest the comparison some 20 years ago. [Comment: This is where the propagandist just paints his paragraph-long smear because he's fond of playing in the muck that is the tool of his trade.]
And yet it is absurd to compare the power of the two phenomena, or to suggest that in the confrontation with the butchers of Mosul and Palmyra the democracies face a strategic challenge analogous to that of the Nazi Wehrmacht. This historical leap is possible only for people whose political irresponsibility is matched by their proclivity for lazy analogy.
[Comment: So, if I have this straight, he's trying to minimise the threat of ISIS, or some kind of Islamic extremist jihadists in the region.
Days after this piece of his, over 150 were killed in Paris & something like 200 were injured.
The same Evil Western Axis that's armed and backed terrorists in the Middle East is currently destroying Europe by flooding Europe with third-world rapists and consumers of state-funded support (together with their eight designated reunion-relatives to arrive in Europe in due course), 'sold' to the unwilling public as potential future wage-slaves and as cultural 'vibrants' (or some such thing), as the radical-right press would say.
Who profits? Probably the international bankers, as generations European natives will be indebted to pay for this non-Europoean invasion ... and for eternity in social and demographic terms, spellingthe destruction of Europeans as a European people. Europe is finished unless Europe goes to war immediately against its elites, which is unlikely. The European people are unarmed and powerless, and Europe is finished.]
Make no mistake: the Islamic State is strong. But it is not so strong as to leave those who would fight it with only the politics of the lesser of two evils.[Comment: Oh, do shut up, froggy. The only evil is: the Evil Western Axis' Syria regime change and destruction agenda.
Hey, that means all Western governments are party to this evil destruction of Europe.
So the West is also collectively responsible for: the rape of all those European women, the destruction of Europe, and what is genocide of the European people that we now witness ... as well as the rise of jihadists and the serial destruction of the entire Middle East. And these are the same Evil Western Axis crew and their colluding press voices that spew lies and hypocrisy, among the stock victors' propaganda about the evil of WWII National Socialists, while politicians predictably perform public worship rituals at the altar of international banker mandated 'multiculturalism', in the aftermath of another round of European blood-letting.]
The West must decide what to do. In the aftermath of last week's peace talks in Vienna, which convened the United States, Russia, Iran, China, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states, and key European Union members, that question becomes increasingly difficult. Should we equip what remains of the Free Syrian Army? Should we deal with the few remaining Alawite leaders whose hands are not stained with blood, or those members of Assad's clan who chose exile early and thus were not involved in the massacres? [Comment: Free Syrian Army (FSA) are the Gulf Oil & Western proxy 'moderate rebels' -- ie jihadists of the al-Qaeda affiliation kind.]
Perhaps there is still be time to bring together, on neutral ground, some of the elements that comprised the old Syria. Or perhaps more radical solutions -- of the type implemented in Germany and Japan after World War II -- are now required. [Comment: What's he proposing, an atomic bomb or something? Occupation? Who cares. This Frenchy propagandist lives in Disneyland.]
All of these paths remain open, but they are narrowing. And none of them depends on the political survival of Bashar al-Assad. [Comment: If this is how desperate this master French intelligentsia trans-Atlantic propagandist is to fulfil the agenda of deposing Bashar al_Assad, Assad's bound to be legitimate and deserves support. Long Live Bashar al-Assad!]

Israeli commander working with Daesh arrested in Iraq: Popular forces
TIMES OF ISRAEL
Says Otherwise
Tue Nov 3, 2015 6:45PM
According to a report by Iran’s Fars news agency, sources in Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) say they have arrestedColonel Yussi Elon Shahak during an operation against Daesh.
The report said Shahak was arrested along with a number of key Daesh members, saying he is currently being interrogated by Iraq’s intelligence officials to determine the degree and type of support the Tel Aviv regime has been providing to militants fighting against the Iraqi government.
...
The report by Fars cited military intelligence showing that Shahak is registered with Golani Brigade, an elite force which was formed in 1948 and is known as the 1st Brigade of the regular Israeli infantry. A military registration number was also provided in the report.
The capture could be seen as a major setback for Israel as it has repeatedly denied having links to Daesh. Previous reports from the Golan Heights, an area separating Syria from the occupied Palestinian territories, had shown that foreign-backed Takfiri terrorists had received assistance from the Israeli military. Israelis have openly confirmed that they have hosted some militants in their field hospitals and provided them with medical care.
Official Iranian mouthpiece and others claim former IDF chief caught while aiding Islamic State. Er, no
By Judah Ari Gross October 28, 2015, 8:24 pm
Rumors that a high-ranking IDF officer had been captured while working alongside Islamic State forces began circulating on the Internet last week, beginning on assorted websites dedicated almost solely to starting and perpetuating conspiracy theories and later being picked up by the Iranian government’s official mouthpiece Fars news.
By Stephen Lendman
Global Research, September 05, 2013
It did so formally. It didn’t surprise. It has more than Syria in mind. A previous article explained.
The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations wants war. AIPAC is its best known member.
It’s a blight on humanity. It’s an unregistered foreign agent. It operates illegally. It does so destructively.
It promotes war. It deplores peace. It supports the worst of Israeli crimes. It supports its most unprincipled interests.
It controls US administrations and Congress. Edward Said called it “the most powerful and feared lobby in Washington.”
In a matter of hours, he said, it can mobilize unanimous Senate support for Israel. Political Washington bows to its will. It does so disgracefully. It does it destructively.
It’s doing it now. In days, Congress will rubber-stamp Obama’s intended lawless aggression on Syria. He plans mass killing and destruction.
AIPACendorses it. On September 3, it headlined ”Press Statement on Syrian Resolution,” saying:
“AIPAC urges Congress to grant the President the authority he has requested to protect America’s national security interests and dissuade the Syrian regime’s further use of unconventional weapons.”
“The civilized world cannot tolerate the use of these barbaric weapons, particularly against an innocent civilian population including hundreds of children.”
“Simply put, barbarism on a mass scale must not be given a free pass.”
“This is a critical moment when America must also send a forceful messageof resolve to Iran and Hezbollah – both of whom have provided direct and extensive military support to Assad.”
“The Syrian regime and its Iranianally have repeatedly demonstrated that they will not respect civilized norms.”
“That is why America must act, and why we must prevent further proliferation of unconventional weapons in this region.”
“America’s allies and adversaries are closely watching the outcome of this momentous vote. This critical decision comes at a time when Iran is racing toward obtaining nuclear capability.”
“Failure to approve this resolution would weaken our country’s credibility to prevent the use and proliferation of unconventional weapons and thereby greatly endanger our country’s security and interests and those ofour regional allies.”
“AIPAC maintains that it is imperative to adopt the resolution to authorize the use of force, and take a firm stand that the world’s most dangerous regimes cannot obtain and use the most dangerous weapons.”
AIPAC’s one of 51 US Zionist organizations. The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations (CPMAJO) represents them.
AIPAC’s best known. Both organizations work cooperatively. CPMAJO largely focuses on US administrations. AIPAC mostly lobbies Congress.
They seek unequivocal support for Israel. They’re in lockstep for war on Syria. On September 3, the CPMAJO said:
“The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations said today that the use of chemical weapons violates fundamental international norms and principles.”
“The use of such indiscriminate weapons of mass destruction represents moral challenges that require a strong response. It also poses vital national security concerns to the US and to our interests and to those of our allies in the region.”
AIPAC to Deploy Hundreds of Lobbyists to Push for Syria Action
Reuters Sep 07, 2013 7:33 PM
Pro-Israel lobby says 250 activists will meet with their senators and representatives in Washington in a bid to win support Congressional support for military action in Syria.
The influential pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee will deploy hundreds of activists next week to win support in Congress for military action in Syria, amid an intense White House effort to convince wavering U.S. lawmakers to vote for limited strikes.
"We plan a major lobbying effort with about 250 activists in Washington to meet with their senators and representatives," an AIPAC source said on Saturday.
Congressional aides said they expected the meetings and calls on Tuesday, as President Barack Obama and officials from his administration make their case for missile strikes over the apparent use of chemical weapons by Syrian President Bashar Assad's government.
The vote on action in Syria is a significant political test for Obama and a major push by AIPAC, considered one of the most powerful lobbying groups in Washington, could provide a boost.
The U.S. Senate is due to vote on a resolution to authorize the use of military force as early as Wednesday. Leaders of the House of Representatives have not yet said when they would vote beyond saying consideration of an authorization is "possible" sometime this week.
Obama has asked Congress to approve strikes against Assad's government in response to a chemical weapons attack on Aug. 21 that killed more than 1,400 Syrians. [Groundless accusation - see MIT research & report (below)]
But many Republicans and several of Obama's fellow Democrats have not been enthused about the prospect, partly because war-weary Americans strongly oppose getting involved in another Middle Eastern conflict. [Not enthused? Got to be kidding. American politicians live for war ... especially on Syria.]
Pro-Israel groups had largely kept a low profile on Syria as the Obama administration sought to build its case for limited strikes after last month's attack on rebel-held areas outside Damascus.
Supporters of the groups and government sources acknowledged they had made it known that they supported U.S. action, concerned about instability in neighboring Syria and what message inaction might send to Assad's ally, Iran.
But they had generally wanted the debate to focus on U.S. national security rather than how a decision to attack Syria might help Israel, a reflection of their sensitivity to being seen as rooting for the United States to go to war. [US national security? It's not Mexico, you know. Syria's in the Middle East ... right up next to Israel.]
A new MIT report is challenging the US claim that Assad forces used chemical weapons in an attack last August, highlighting that the range of the improvised rocket was way too short to have been launched from govt controlled areas.
In the report titled “Possible Implications of Faulty US Technical Intelligence,” Richard Lloyd, a former UN weapons inspector, and Theodore Postol, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), examined the delivery rocket’s design and calculated possible trajectories based on the payload of the cargo.
The authors concluded that sarin gas “could not possibly have been fired at East Ghouta from the ‘heart’, or from the Eastern edge, of the Syrian government controlled area shown in the intelligence map published by the White House on August 30, 2013.”

Love how Bernard-Henri Levy began with "Forget principles and morality ...". Was he trying to inject some humour into his article?
Bit confused about who did the Paris attack.
If al-Qaeda & ISIS are Western & Gulf State proxies, why are extremists on the payroll attacking Paris? Oh, I remember, they've sort of gone rogue or AWOL now.
UPDATE:
It looks like Hollande publicised in Le Monde in late 2014 delivery of arms to the 'moderate rebels', who are the al-Nusra associated faction (who are an associated al-Qaeda faction), that's in opposition to the ISIS faction ... unless they defect.
“We cannot leave the only Syrians who are preparing a democracy ... without weapons,” he added.
Would ISIS wait a whole year to respond with an attack? It seems too long a wait. Not sure.
I can't figure how the West is getting away with backing terrorists in Syria when it is illegal pursuant to international law to arm (and presumably fund) actors to take down a sovereign government.
Arms reach Syria from Jordan and I'm guessing also Turkey ... and it appears France was openly arming the Syrian opposition as at late 2014.
The 'chemical weapons' thing is similar to the 'weapons of mass destruction' illegal attack that was carried out in Iraq, only in this case the chemicals came from the 'moderate rebels' as the most likely source -- so it was a false flag attack, aiming to make a target of the al-Assad government.
The above 'Israel lobby' article is just a random one that popped up when I searched for "Israel lobby" and "Syria". Wanted to make sure I was right, in making the above statement.

UPDATED with Times of Israel refuted of captured Israeli Colonel.
Press TV is the official Iranian press agency.
The operators of Veterans Today are unknown to me.
Its site is registered by proxy, but is presumably an American site.
The author of the article would be: Nahed al Husaini Lancaster of Veterans Today.
As the article author appears in this article (here), I'm going to assume that the Veterans Today site is a genuine news outlet. But, yeah, on taking a second look at the VT article, it is rather odd. I think I just skimmed over that first part, but I'm not sure why.
The Israeli article goes on to discuss the photograph regarding the 'captured Colonel' who isn't a colonel and hasn't been captured.
So is there a captured Israeli of any description in Iraq, or what?
PressTV I'd trust.
Fars News, not so much. Especially as there's yet another proxy registration.
Not sure why PressTV would print something that might be dodgy.
Popular Mobilization Forces (Iraq) is a Shia militia umbrella group drawn together to defend against ISIS - here.
If they really did have an Israeli military guy, I suppose there might have been a bit more fanfare than this. As in, you'd think there'd be a huge press conference or something to mark the occasion.
PS
Some reading for those that think my predictions for Europe are exaggerated. Article was enough for me, but there's a video also. Just one report of multitudes of horrifying reports of dramas etc in Europe -- and the politicians, the liberal left network, and the wider intelligentsia and the media continue to push an unsound ideology (and consequences) on the public:
WATCH: Journalist Stoned While Trying To Film In Swedish No Go Zone
by Liam Deacon | 27 Oct 2015
A Swedish journalist attempting to make a movie about the residents of a Swedish no go zone and their habit of throwing stones at police has herself been attacked and had stones thrown at her as she attempted to film.
“They thought we crossed the limit and that we were standing on their land,” journalist Valentina Xhaferi told Swedish newspaper Expressen.
Ms Xhaferi planned on investigating police reports that any officer trying to patrol the Stockholm district of Tensta – with its foreign born population now over 70 per cent – would be pelted with rocks. She wanted to get behind the black headlines and find out what was really troubling the poor residents.
[ ... ]
But as they waited, another man, who appeared to be upset, approach to ask why they were filming. He went away only to return with his gang.
“Then he became very, very angry and said he’ll get stones and show us what stoning is. When I saw that he was armed with a stone I just wanted to get out of there,” said Ms Xhaferi.
At this point more three men appeared from a subway and demanded to know what they were doing. The camera was recording, and captured the moment the men kicked the equipment to the floor, shouted insults at Ms. Xhaferi and poured coffee on the cameraman before running off.
“It was impossible to calm them down. I pulled back and tried to calm down everyone, while trying to get my colleague and myself out of there.
Police estimate that there are around 55 such areas in Swedensimilar to the Tensta no go zone, which was the site of a riot in 2012, and which boasts a 95-100 per cent foreign origin rate for children living there.
US plans to topple Syria’s Assad go back to 9/11: Analyst
Thu Sep 10, 2015 6:23PM
Washington’s plans to overthrow the Syrian government go back to the 9/11 attacks and recent revelations by Wikileaks founderJulian Assange should come as no surprise to anybody, says an American journalist.
Wayne Madsen, an author and investigative journalist, made the comments when asked about Assange’s remarks who said on Wednesday that the US had planned to topple the Syrian government long before 2011, the year that the brutal conflict broke out in the country.
What Assange has said is nothing new because “we know according to retired Gen. Wesley Clarke that, shortly after 9/11, he was shown in the Pentagon a list of countries that the US wanted to overthrow” their governments, Madsen told Press TV on Thursday.
The analyst noted that on the list, Syria came after Iraq and was followed by countries like Libya and Sudan.
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.
This is “also no surprise because the successive US ambassadors to Syria have sought to undermine the Syrian government,” Madsen maintained.
He added that “It clearly is a demonstration that just because the United States maintains diplomatic relations with a country,” there is no guarantee that the US is not going to shy away from taking harsh measures against “the government it recognizes.”
This is an extreme version of democracy, Madsen argued, which was sought after not only by President Obama’s administrations, but also Republican government such as that of George Bush also attempted to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government.
The Syrian government has been in an all out war against various Takfiri groups, mainly the ISIL, since March 2011. According to reports, the United States and its regional allies - especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey – have been supporting the militants operating inside the country.
The conflict, according to the UN, has so far taken the lives of about 230,000 people. Millions of Syrians have also been displaced as a result of the conflict.
So the US getting 'cosy' with Iran by way of the nukes deal and the Brits reopening an embassy in Iran can only mean one thing: stand by for an action replay of the 1953 CIA-MI6 coup in Iran?
That's almost a quarter of a million dead in Syria, according to the UN.
Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are bankrolling.
While the American government keeps a list of countries to destroy, Hollywood celebrity hypocrites front aid agencies and act as American war propaganda agents.
So, there you go Europe. The Americans planned this Middle Eastern and African mayhem well in advance; but, guess what?
It's European taxpayers and European societies that will be paying the price: the enormous material and social costs of refugee and other immigration - which is incalculable in future social terms.
While public welfare funding is being cut, welcome to increased military spending for the 'privilege' of NATO gangster Club Membership.
Being under US corporate empire's rule is like voluntarily becoming a taxpayer-funded mercenary (proxy) force for the US corporate empire (thus private interests of the enormously wealthy).
Subordinate state proxy forces are then usually also supplied to some extent by US manufacturers, enriching American military manufacturers and providing the means of destroying target nations, to pillage resources and entrap the target nations' populations in future debt servitude of the 'nation rebuilding' kind.
The 'nation rebuilding' profits to be received post destructive phase must make destroying nations so rewarding. Win-win.
All these subordinate states' resources are directed in aid of US and Western private corporate and banking masters' profits, while impoverishing generations of 'free' men among NATO member domestic populations.
Intergenerational debt slavery for the sheeple, but a what a deal for corporate American and allied corporate interests, so what's not to like ...
a European colony that buys US arms & military equipment, enriching US military manufacturers;
a colony that self-funds military actions on behalf of the US plutocratic empire (and its own player corporations); and
a colony that takes on-board all consequences of the massive human costs of the American empire's aggression and insatiable capitalist expansion.
Ummmm, how stupid is Europe?

What Putin Has to Say to Americans About Syria By VLADIMIR V. PUTIN Published: September 11, 2013
MOSCOW — RECENT events surrounding Syria have prompted me to speak directly to the American people and their political leaders. It is important to do so at a time of insufficient communication between our societies. Relations between us have passed through different stages. We stood against each other during the cold war. But we were also allies once, and defeated the Nazis together. The universal international organization — the United Nations — was then established to prevent such devastation from ever happening again. The United Nations’ founders understood that decisions affecting war and peace should happen only by consensus, and with America’s consent the veto by Security Council permanent members was enshrined in the United Nations Charter. The profound wisdom of this has underpinned the stability of international relations for decades. No one wants the United Nations to suffer the fate of the League of Nations, which collapsed because it lacked real leverage. This is possible if influential countries bypass the United Nations and take military action without Security Council authorization. The potential strike by the United States against Syria, despite strong opposition from many countries and major political and religious leaders, including the pope, will result in more innocent victims and escalation, potentially spreading the conflict far beyond Syria’s borders. A strike would increase violence and unleash a new wave of terrorism. It could undermine multilateral efforts to resolve the Iranian nuclear problem and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and further destabilize the Middle East and North Africa. It could throw the entire system of international law and order out of balance. Syria is not witnessing a battle for democracy, but an armed conflict between government and opposition in a multireligious country. There are few champions of democracy in Syria. But there are more than enough Qaeda fighters and extremists of all stripes battling the government. The United States State Department has designated Al Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, fighting with the opposition, as terrorist organizations. This internal conflict, fueled by foreign weapons supplied to the opposition, is one of the bloodiest in the world. Mercenaries from Arab countries fighting there, and hundreds of militants from Western countries and even Russia, are an issue of our deep concern. Might they not return to our countries with experience acquired in Syria? After all, after fighting in Libya, extremists moved on to Mali. This threatens us all. From the outset, Russia has advocated peaceful dialogue enabling Syrians to develop a compromise plan for their own future. We are not protecting the Syrian government, but international law. We need to use the United Nations Security Council and believe that preserving law and order in today’s complex and turbulent world is one of the few ways to keep international relations from sliding into chaos. The law is still the law, and we must follow it whether we like it or not. Under current international law, force is permitted only in self-defense or by the decision of the Security Council. Anything else is unacceptable under the United Nations Charter and would constitute an act of aggression. No one doubts that poison gas was used in Syria. But there is every reason to believe it was used not by the Syrian Army, but by opposition forces, to provoke intervention by their powerful foreign patrons, who would be siding with the fundamentalists. Reports that militants are preparing another attack — this time against Israel — cannot be ignored. It is alarming that military intervention in internal conflicts in foreign countries has become commonplace for the United States. Is it in America’s long-term interest? I doubt it. Millions around the world increasingly see America not as a model of democracy but as relying solely on brute force, cobbling coalitions together under the slogan “you’re either with us or against us.” But force has proved ineffective and pointless. Afghanistan is reeling, and no one can say what will happen after international forces withdraw. Libya is divided into tribes and clans. In Iraq the civil war continues, with dozens killed each day. In the United States, many draw an analogy between Iraq and Syria, and ask why their government would want to repeat recent mistakes. No matter how targeted the strikes or how sophisticated the weapons, civilian casualties are inevitable, including the elderly and children, whom the strikes are meant to protect. The world reacts by asking: if you cannot count on international law, then you must find other ways to ensure your security. Thus a growing number of countries seek to acquire weapons of mass destruction. This is logical: if you have the bomb, no one will touch you. We are left with talk of the need to strengthen nonproliferation, when in reality this is being eroded. We must stop using the language of force and return to the path of civilized diplomatic and political settlement. A new opportunity to avoid military action has emerged in the past few days. The United States, Russia and all members of the international community must take advantage of the Syrian government’s willingness to place its chemical arsenal under international control for subsequent destruction. Judging by the statements of President Obama, the United States sees this as an alternative to military action. I welcome the president’s interest in continuing the dialogue with Russia on Syria. We must work together to keep this hope alive, as we agreed to at the Group of 8 meeting in Lough Erne in Northern Ireland in June, and steer the discussion back toward negotiations. If we can avoid force against Syria, this will improve the atmosphere in international affairs and strengthen mutual trust. It will be our shared success and open the door to cooperation on other critical issues. My working and personal relationship with President Obama is marked by growing trust. I appreciate this. I carefully studied his address to the nation on Tuesday. And I would rather disagree with a case he made on American exceptionalism, stating that the United States’ policy is “what makes America different. It’s what makes us exceptional.” It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation. There are big countries and small countries, rich and poor, those with long democratic traditions and those still finding their way to democracy. Their policies differ, too. We are all different, but when we ask for the Lord’s blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/12/opinion/putin-plea-for-caution-from-russia-on-syria.html?_r=0
Discovered an old NYT article via twitter.
I'm not up-to-date. Just started watching this stuff, so it's some good info for me.
Not big on the religious references.
I see the UN as just another way for the US to exert influence and dominate, because their various defence and trade allies will always vote with the US.
US has always interfered with internal conflicts in other countries, so it should hardly be a surprise if they want to interfere in Syria.
So Syria fighting is about multiple extremist religious factions having a go at the government in a quest for religious (?) supremacy and, pretty much, that's all it is?
US has designated al-Nusra Front and al-Qaeda 'terrorist'.
These religious groups (along with Arab mercenaries), aim to spread conflict to other regions, currently battle it out in Syria.
Yet opposition groups in Syria have been supplied with foreign weapons.
Who by? I think the US were wanting to arm the opposition, but I'd need to look that up.
Looks like these religious fighters also have an eye on Israel.
So basically, if the US is going to make an 'exception' of itself and if the UN veto counts for nothing, the UN may meet the same fate as the League of Nations.
Meanwhile, where there is a lack of confidence in the UN, arms proliferation takes place.
So it looks like the US were planning on attacking Syria?
Funny how they're now planning on attacking Russia.

Well, there's already a precedent for ignoring the UN and for being the 'exception', so they may as well disband the UN because the UN is a farce.
The NATO bombing of Yugoslavia was NATO's military operation against the ... Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War. The operation was not authorised by the United Nations and was the first time that NATO used military force without the approval of the UN Security Council and against a sovereign nation that did not pose a threat to members of the alliance.
The strikes lasted from March 24, 1999 to June 10, 1999. The official NATO operation code name was Operation Allied Force; the United States called it Operation Noble Anvil, while in Yugoslavia the operation was named "Merciful Angel"... [wikipedia]
Dig those code names.
Not only did Clinton and NATO disregard the UN, Clinton disregarded the US congress as well:
Clinton needed a new mission for NATO. The Soviet Union had collapsed and if you recall, the NATO Treaty was a collective security agreement between member nations that if one NATO nation were attacked by the Soviet Union (CCCP), other NATO members would go to its defense.
In violation of International law, the NATO Treaty, the UN Charter and without the approval of Congress, Clinton and his administration, along with Serb-hating Madeline Albright, Wesley Clark, Richard Holbrooke and the rest of the Clinton gang, bombed tiny Yugoslavia that did not attack us or any NATO nation, was never a threat to us, nor did it have weapons of mass destruction. [here]
The precedent is set:
International law, NATO, the UN, the UN Charter and the US Congress are meaningless shams.
