Just so you may know, our well informed and highly reliable sources authorized the release of the following very important heads up.

Reviewing the material presented in this latest falsification of truths and facts on this site, an ongoing process fueled by its owner and side-kicks, we came to the unavoidable conclusion that most of the material and so-called evidence of photos and videos are in total contradiction to the gist of the post seeking in essence to tarnish the repuation of the glorious revolution of the peope of Syria, implying a clear desperate attemp to spread propaganda on behalf of the falling and desperate regime of pervert criminals.

We found, on the other hand, al-jazeera reporting to be the the most accurate representation of events. We did not find any evidence in the material presented in this post of falsification supporting the alleged connections to phantom so-called terrorist groups amongst the fighters who liberated Maalola as part of the strategic objective of liberating Al-Qalamoon. Whatever happened in that city in the last two days was strictly a military operation aimed at liberating north west Damascus which is still an ongoing operation as of this writing.

Therefore, we urge readers to exercise extreme caution, sound judgement and critical analysis when reading anything emanating from the administrators of this site.

That face Obama is pulling looks like the south end of a Northbound mule.

An urgent appeal from Krak des Chevaliers: Please share with media and humanitarian organisations:
Media awareness campaign for Krak des Chevaliers: 09-09-2013

In the name of God the merciful

Krak des Chevaliers (a.k.a. Qalat al Hosn), Homs province, 05-09-2013: This is an urgent appeal to the world to help save the lives of hundreds of civilians trapped under regime bombardment and siege in Krak des Chevaliers (a.k.a. Qalat al Hosn) in Homs province.

The people of Krak des Chevaliers have now been suffering daily bombardment and siege for over two years, with continuous and relentless bombing and massive destruction by Assad’s forces. Many residents, including women and children, have been killed or wounded; the regime siege which has cut off all supplies of food, water, medicine, fuel and electricity means that there is no food and no milk or infant formula for children.

More than 500 families are trapped under the suffocating siege and living amid catastrophic daily destruction, and the lack of communications means that the world barely knows about residents’ daily suffering and slow death from starvation.

We – the coordination staff from Free Krak des Chevaliers and the Krak des Chevaliers youth group – ask all activists and media professionals to help us to raise awareness of the horrendous situation in the village and to launch an information campaign to spread the word and show the scale of the suffering. On Monday September 9th, we are holding a social media awareness-raising day – you can participate on Twitter, on Facebook or in any other media. To find out more, please contact us with any enquiries on our Facebook page at:

https://www.facebook.com/freehosn?ref=hl

Anyone able to provide any aid or assistance or wishing to find out more can call:
00965-55280675

Please do whatever you can to help your brothers and sisters in Krak des Chevaliers. Thank you.

Syria crisis: al-Qaeda seizes village that still speaks the ancient language of Christ
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/syria/10289944/Syria-crisis-al-Qaeda-seizes-village-that-still-speaks-the-ancient-language-of-Christ.html

Falsely charging the Russians with supplying military helicopters to Assad is an unnecessary provocation. Falsely blaming the Assad government for a so-called massacre perpetrated by a violent warring rebel faction is nothing more than war propaganda. Most knowledgeable people now recognize that the planned war against Syria is merely the next step to take on the Iranian government, something the neo-cons openly admit. Controlling Iranian oil, just as we have done in Saudi Arabia and are attempting to do in Iraq, is the real goal of the neo-conservatives who have been in charge of our foreign policy for the past couple of decades.

War is inevitable without a significant change in our foreign policy, and soon.

Hamster,

You have a penchant for unfair characterizations. Syria Comment is not a full-fledged news source with a media team working day and night in a situation room, and it is not responsible to cover every Syria-related story.

The few people here write when they are able, and when they have particular knowledge on a topic. If I had had connections to the area of the Ghouta that was attacked with chemical weapons, I would have written as much detail about it as I did about Ma’loula. As it happens, I didn’t know anyone there, so I relied as much as the next person on reports from others to understand what was taking place. Brown Moses and others were very helpful in collecting and presenting the convincing evidence that it was the regime who conducted those attacks, something I wouldn’t have been able to do without that level of insight regarding weapons and munitions.

After those contributions brought clarity to the situation, I posted numerous stories on the topic in a round-up (though I didn’t have any original material to contribute), and JL made numerous statements in public media asserting that the regime was behind the chemical weapons attacks. At one point, he had to defend that position against a CNN anchor who didn’t seem convinced, and who seemed to want to blame the rebels. Did you miss what he said in the Bloomberg article? Perhaps you should take another glance: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-08-27/assad-s-brother-seen-linked-to-syria-chemical-attack.html

As it happened, I do have more of a connection to Ma’loula, and immediately had people to contact after the situation developed. Since I was able to contribute something in that regard, I did so. This is not selective coverage for political reasons; it’s about personal knowledge and limitations.

The CW attacks pained me greatly, as did this photo today of a boy shot in the face by a sniper: https://twitter.com/GeredaV/status/372723785956220929/photo/1

From the main post above:

Al-Jazeera’s reporting was one-sided, as usual. It explained the attack exclusively in strategic terms, noting the town’s connections to other nearby communities with a rebel presence. They failed even to mention Jabhat al-Nusra’s presence in this campaign, instead referring only to the FSA’s involvement and ignoring the central role of Islamists in the operation.

AJE Live Syria Blog about 6 hours ago:

Syrian rebel fighters withdrew after briefly capturing a historic Christian town near Damascus.

Syrian rebel fighters withdrew on Thursday after briefly capturing a historic Christian town in the centre of the country as part of a campaign to take control of strategic mountains near Damascus, opposition sources said.

Several rebel brigades, including a contingent of the al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front, swept into the town of Maaloula in the Qalamoun mountains on Wednesday after overrunning a roadblock manned by troops and militia loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the sources said.

Glad you liked it. Thought it may have become buried at the end of the previous (x2) post.

Yes I did consider Zoo for the NightCall slot (10pm-1am), perhaps as studio/phone guest, or one of the various alternating daily guests along with others (Commando, Rev, Syrian Girl etc). Required more thinking time to integrate the idea while keeping it as realistic as possible.

Zoo

Glad you sensed the humour. However, by your response I sense I’ve stumbled on to something (?). Hmm…this radio thing may have something to it.

Anyway, I can imagine the NightCall phone-in, of recent a decrease in the Ghufran/Apple-Mini type callers, with more Ali-type callers hogging the airways.

I can imagine some callers phoning in under different names with slightly disguised voice, to give the Shabeeha listening audience a morale boosting impression of greater support than actual.

[…] Barber, of the University of Chicago and contributor at Syria Comment, has written a detailed article on the recent fighting in the historic Christian town of Ma`loula.  Ma`loula, until a few days ago, […]

This incident is a clear proof to me that many of the rebels on the ground do not report to the central command of the FSA. I highly doubt that the FSA central command will approve of such operation. It has disastrous implications on the FSA and the revolution. I won’t be surprised if the regime intentionally ensured that the checkpoint is weak enough as to invite the rebels to attack it. The soldiers manning these checkpoints are poor drafted young boys whom the regime could care less about. Within my extended family today, we have two boys who just finished college and waiting for their draft orders. Their parents are desperately trying to get them out of this, but how can they?. They will either end up manning useless checkpoints and getting blown up by the rebels, or they will try to escape and get killed by the regime. They are helpless.

I have said it before here on SC. The opposition made a fatal strategic mistake by not speaking up strongly against Al-Nusra. Last year, when the US added Al-Nusra to the terrorist list, they should have at least kept quite. Anyone who understands the US system and psyche knows that the US president cannot do anything without public and congress support. If the opposition wanted the US to help, which they did, they should have helped the administration with its public opinion struggle, not worked against it. You cannot, on one hand, keep saying that “we do not need anyone but God”, and on the other hand be bitter and negative that the US is not doing enough to help you.

In the war of public relation to influence the West’s public opinion, Assad and his regime are doing much better than the opposition. Until now. Assad’s use of chemical weapons may prove to be his fatal mistake that will put an end to his regime. I do not believe this incident in Maaloula will change much in that regards. I believe it was a stupid and irresponsible move from the rebels, especially at this time when they need the West’s public opinion more than any other time during the revolution. Enough pretending that, without a direct western help, they will be able to defeat the regime while winning the hearts and minds of the Syrian people.

Despite all the criticism they get, I believe Josh, Matheaw, and their team are doing a great job with their reporting and analysis. I, for one, am very thankful for their contribution. In this ugly dirty war, it is very difficult to remain objective and distinguish the facts from the lies.

This is worth a listen. On Up All Night (last night after 1am) on BBC Radio 5, the presenter had a discussion with PJ Crowley and a Russian guest. As it went on I became increasingly engrossed as it seemed to be getting to the heart of the matter, what we haven’t seen until now (?), but perhaps due to the focusing of minds in anticipation of military intervention…

Journalist, Press Tv presenter, convert to Islam, activist, vehement opponent of Iraq war and general western wars, Yvonne Ridley:

Forget the red lines and political egos – focus on saving lives

Yvonne Ridley | 30th August 2013

I am a peace activist but at the moment one wrestling with her conscience because, in truth, if someone gave me a gun and Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad strolled into the crosshairs I think I would struggle not to pull the trigger.

The former eye doctor is a monster who has no boundaries when it comes to killing his own people. I have known this for many years and so has America, Britain and their allies.

In fact, until recently, the US has been more than happy to hand over people to the Assad regime in the full knowledge of what would happen to them in the notorious torture dungeons hidden across Syria. As a craven partner in the war on terror, Britain will also have been kept in the loop.

These same dungeons were set up by Bashar’s father Hafez al-Assad, a man who ordered the massacre of 20,000 Syrian citizens in the city of Hama in 1982. It was a brutal operation supervised by younger brother General Rifaat al-Assad. It seems that the apples do not fall far from the Assad family tree.

As such, for Obama to talk about red lines and for David Cameron to try and do a Blair, please forgive me for gagging with the stench of hypocrisy.

A red line was crossed way back in February 2011 when 18 schoolboys were “disappeared” by the Assad regime for daubing some harmless graffiti on a wall in Dera. ; another red line was crossed when the 11-year-olds re-emerged three weeks later with all of their finger nails missing, some of them castrated and every single one with at least one broken bone in his body.

A red line was crossed when, after six months of public rallies demanding justice over the treatment of the Graffitti Boys, more than 1,000 civilians had been killed; that was the breaking point for ordinary Syrians who had, until then, resisted calls to join the Arab Spring.

A red line was crossed a few weeks ago when the civilian death toll exceeded 100,000 and millions of Syrian men, women and children were listed as refugees in squalid camps in neighbouring countries.

The world is now confronted by a humanitarian disaster on a rapidly unfolding scale which can barely be compared with any other in recent times, man-made or otherwise. That the West thinks it can drop some bombs and cure the disaster speaks volumes in itself and reveals that nothing has been learned from the mess that is Iraq.

Nevertheless, the reality is that chemical weapons are being dropped on the Syrian people and they do need help from somewhere; anywhere. So what is a person of conscience to do or think?

Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Syria

http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/saudi-egyptian-relations-fault-lines-future-conflict

…
The nightmare scenario for the Saudis is for Egypt to take its own course on the Syrian crisis, realizing – as many Egyptians already know – that its national security is intimately linked to what happens in the Levant. The destruction of the Syrian army and the fragmentation of the country could very well be a prelude to subjecting Egypt – the Arab world’s largest nation – to the very same catastrophe, thus weakening it before the Zionist enemy.

Therefore, Saudi’s rulers are today pursuing a dual strategy in containing Egypt. On the one hand, they are working to undermine any independent course that the Muslim Brotherhood may take, in an attempt to subordinate them to Riyadh’s priorities in the region. At the same time, by showering the new government in Cairo with billions in aid and diplomatic support, it is hoping to keep Egypt under US-Saudi influence.

For the time being, the Egyptian government is doing its best to avoid any tensions with the Gulf kingdom, building on their mutual antagonism toward the Brotherhood and hoping to buy time until the country gets through this delicate transitional period. In the end, however, there is no avoiding the day when Egypt stands on its own, and conflict seeps back into its relationship with Saudi Arabia.

Hopeful,

The link should be sent to the congress. And to Suzan Rice.

May be to Mil Gibdon too? …Nay!

Maaloula is more than what you said,Matthew,much more

Maaloula is a holly place,we should be proud of,however the regime committed obscenity in placing a military base there

One House Republican Moves From “Do Something” to “Eh, Maybe Not” on Syria

http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2013/09/05/one_house_republican_moves_from_do_something_to_eh_maybe_not_on_syria.html

llinois Rep. Randy Hultgren represents some of Chicago’s southwest surbubs, a generally conservative area …
…

Today, following a briefing, Hultgren said this.

The President’s case and the facts presented failed to make a compelling case for why it is in the national interest of the United States to engage our military in Syria. This is a tragedy that the international community must be fully engaged in, and we must pursue all options to determine what other actions can be taken to stop the bloodshed and pursue peace. But we cannot commit our military forces when there seems to be no clear objective or path to ending our involvement. History shows that there is no such thing as a limited or surgical strike – that every action will be met with a reaction. In this instance, I am concerned that military strikes could result in many unforeseen consequences.

Not quite “no,” but more of a “no” than he was hinting at before. And he’s a conservative in a safe seat.

AIPAC joining forces with Saudi Arabia and Qatar

AIPAC in Full Court Press on Syria
by Eli Lake Sep 3, 2013 6:00 PM EDT

AIPAC is breaking precedent to support war resolution on Syria. Eli Lake reports.
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/09/03/aipac-in-full-court-press-on-syria.html

America’s largest pro-Israel lobby has deployed its organization in Congress to push for the president’s war authorization against Syria, according to a senior official with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) who called the effort a “full court press.”
130826-syria-jordan-cheat

SANA/Reuters

Earlier Tuesday, AIPAC issued a strong statement supporting the president’s call for congressional authorization of limited airstrikes against Syria. A senior official at AIPAC tells The Daily Beast that the organization’s leadership received a phone call from a senior White House official on Saturday, after the president’s surprise announcement that he would be seeking congressional authorization for a Syria strike, asking what AIPAC’s position would be on a congressional resolution. This official said the lobby received similar calls from Republican and Democratic leaders in the House and Senate.

While AIPAC lobbies Congress for a stronger U.S.-Israel relationship, the group rarely deploys its lobbyists in favor of war resolutions like the one before Congress on Syria.

What might be targeted and how ?
US plans to carry out ‘limited Syria strike’ with stand-off weapons
http://www.middle-east-online.com/english/?id=61168

IHS Jane’s Defence expert says US does not have munition that is capable of safely destroying chemical weapons stockpiles.

LONDON – The alleged chemical weapons attack carried out by the Syrian forces last month has put the US intelligence in uncomfortable zone as Washington plans to carry out a limited strike with stand-off weapons, according to IHS Jane’s Defence.

“We are told that the current plan is to carry out a limited strike with stand-off weapons. That means that there will be no US aircraft in range of Syria’s air defences, so there will be no specific requirement to take out the surface-to-air missile sites and radars,” said Jeremy Binnie, an expert at IHS Jane’s Defence.

“Meanwhile, the admission that the US did not have the capacity to process the intelligence showing that Syrian forces were preparing a chemical weapons attack on 21 Aug until after the incident has flagged up the difficulties of tracking everything that is going on. For this reason, the extent to which the US will be able to hit mobile targets that require real-time intelligence is debatable. That said, if you wanted to hurt the Syrian military and limit its ability to attack neighbouring countries, then its longer-range ‘Scud-D’ ballistic missile launchers would be priority targets,” Binnie said.

“The cruise missile strikes that have opened other campaigns have typically targeted numerous fixed sites, especially buildings and bunkers that are associated with the Ministry of Defence, the military and intelligence services – we expect the same in Syria. Weapon storage facilities could also be targeted, much like the Israelis did earlier this year,” he noted, adding that “as the US does not have a munition that is capable of safely destroying chemical weapons stockpiles, these will not be on the target list.”

However, Binnie said that US planners would probably want to hit other targets that are associated with the chemical weapons programme when they believe this can be safely done.

Binnie expressed doubts that Syria’s infrastructure such as bridges and power plants would be targeted.

“I am not sure about this as that would create significant post-war problems for Syria, as it did for Iraq where the US struggled to get the country back on its feet because it had inflicted so much damage to infrastructure,” he said.

Binnie explained that weakening Syrian regime’s military capabilities such as air bases would not make too much difference to the conflict, as the Syrian military is more reliant on surface-to-surface weapons.

“Another possibility is that a more determined attempt to degrade Syria’s military capabilities will simply involve a wider campaign against division- and brigade-level headquarters and communications infrastructure, thereby decreasing the ability of the Syrian Arab Army to co-ordinate its operations,” he said.

Please remember if Amerika comes to the Syria rebels rescue they will destroy water, sewer, power, airports, bridges and all thing needed for citizens of Syria to live. Syria will look like this in the future and it isn’t pretty. I feel very sad my country does this to other nations that mean us no harm.

The SAA comes to rescue Maaloula from Al Nusra Islamist fighters

Fri., 8:53am: Syria sends reinforcements to Christian village
September 6, 2013

http://www.tribtoday.com/page/content.detail/id/592643/Fri—8-53am–Syria-sends-reinforcements-to-Christian-village.html?nav=5192

BEIRUT – The Syrian government has dispatched reinforcements including tanks and armored personnel carriers to a predominantly Christian village north of Damascus where rebels have clashed with regime troops this week, a monitoring group said Friday.

Opposition fighters led by an al-Qaida-linked rebel faction attacked the mountainside sanctuary of Maaloula on Wednesday, and briefly entered the village a day later before pulling out in the evening. The assault has spotlighted fears among Syria’s religious minorities about the prominent role of Islamic extremists in the rebel ranks fighting to overthrow President Bashar Assad’s regime.

The government forces sent to Maaloula have taken up positions outside the village, which is still under the control of local pro-regime militias, said Rami Abdul-Rahman, the director of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. He added that there were skirmishes Friday around the village, which is home to two of the oldest surviving monasteries in Syria – Mar Sarkis and Mar Takla.

The assault is being spearheaded by Jabhat al-Nusra, one of the most effective rebel factions and a group the United States has deemed a terrorist organization. The group includes Syrians as well as foreign fighters from across the Muslim world.

Syria offers bounty for foreign “terrorists”

(Reuters) / 6 September 2013

For the first time in Syria’s 2-1/2 year conflict, the government is offering a bounty to anyone who captures a foreign “terrorist” – the word authorities use for rebels fighting to topple President Bashar Al Assad.

In a brief statement on Syrian television, authorities said they would give 500,000 Syrian pounds to anyone who brought in a “non-Syrian terrorist” and 200,000 pounds to anyone who gave information on their whereabouts or helped apprehend them.

1) German government is seeking to refer the recent CW attack to the International Court of Justice. Among those named for referral is none other criminal pervert, B. Al-Assad. This development followed recent German Intelligence revelations about the attacks.

2) President Obama has increased dramatically the scope and objectives of the upcoming strikes to include other branches of the military and expanded revised list of targets.

3) Non-essential U.S. personel in Beirut and Ankara have been ordered out of those places by the US State Dept. it is not clear if the move is a signal for the countdown to the zero hour.

4) Secretary Kerry has been very successful in enlisting support for the American move against Criminal Pervert among US alles particularly in Europe. There are increasing calls within NATO, that the operation should become a NATO operation.

…
As of now, he’s one of many House Democrats poised to vote no. Has anything in the administration’s argument been persuasive? “No,” he told ABC News after the meeting. “I listened to an official from the administration yesterday and while he was certainly powerful in his statements about why we should go alone, in terms of striking targets in Syria, I don’t think he said anything compelling.” When it comes to Syria, Cleaver ultimately said he has to treat President Obama like he would President Bush: “It doesn’t matter who sleeps in the White House,” he said.

“Brown Moses and others were very helpful in collecting and presenting the convincing evidence that it was the regime who conducted those attacks, something I wouldn’t have been able to do without that level of insight regarding weapons and munitions.”

Dr. Matt BARBER you are aware that Eliot Higgins aka Brown Moses is an unemployed video gamer with ZERO expertise in weapons/military hardware correct? Higgins has no military background.

Two senators mulling alternative Syria resolution

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2013/09/05/two-senators-mulling-alternative-syria-resolution/

A draft resolution being circulated by two moderate Democratic senators would give the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad 45 days to sign an international chemical weapons ban or face the threat of “all elements” of U.S. military power.

Sens. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) and Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.) are working on the alternative proposal, which would delay the immediate use of military force and compel the Obama administration to build more international and American political support for striking the Assad government, according to Senate aides familiar with the talks.

The resolution would give the Assad government 45 days to sign the chemical weapons ban and require President Obama to present lawmakers with a plan to end the violence in Syria through diplomatic means, according to a draft copy of the resolution obtained by The Post from Senate aides.

Aides cautioned that the final wording of a resolution is still in the works, but provided this proposed language:

“The failure by the government of Bashar al-Assad to sign and comply with the [Chemical Weapons] Convention clearly demonstrates a disregard of international norms on the use of chemical weapons. If the Government of Syria does not sign the Convention within 45 after the date of the enactment of this resolution, all elements of national power will be considered by the United States government.”

“Not later than 45 days after the date of the enactment of this resolution, the President shall submit to Congress a long term strategy for Syria, while concurrently using all appropriate diplomatic tools to develop and secure commitments from the international community with the shared strategic interest of preventing the proliferation and use of Syria’s chemical weapons.”

“This is a draft proposal Senator Heitkamp is working on to approach the very complex situation in Syria. It is one idea that is still a work in progress,” said her spokeswoman, Abigail McDonough.

No European nation, outside of France (and they say without the US forget it), that I am aware of is an illegal act of war and aggression against Syria. Quite the contrary.

If anyone has a list of nations who are for war – in or out of NATO – please post it for the readers because I say they’re lying.

“Limited strikes” he said? Well it seems there will be “Limited retaliation”

US intercepts Iranian order for attack on US interests in
6 September 2013 /REUTERS, WASHINGTON

The United States has intercepted an order from an Iranian official instructing militants in Iraq to attack US interests in Baghdad in the event the Obama administration launches a military strike in Syria, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

Obama and Putin did not come up with an agreement on Syria according to CNN

Who is for, who is against and who is cautious?

Putin disputed that his dinner guests were split over the White House’s push for military intervention in Syria, saying only the U.S., France, Saudi Arabia, Canada and Turkey backed the move. He said British Prime Minister David Cameron supported it, but his Parliment does not and that German Chancellor Angela Merkel is “cautious.”

And he added, “who was opposing and condemning: Russia, India, Indonesia, China, Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, Italy… and also the Secretary General of the UN voiced his protest against, and let us not forget the address of the pope.”

JONES OPPOSES OBAMA ON SYRIA

http://jones.house.gov/press-release/jones-opposes-obama-syria

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Walter B. Jones (NC-3) issued the following statement regarding next week’s expected vote on a resolution that would authorize U.S. military intervention in Syria.

“I will vote against any proposal to authorize U.S. military intervention in Syria,” said Congressman Jones. “The reality of America’s dismal fiscal situation is that any money spent to bomb Syria will be borrowed from overseas or will be taken from the Defense Department’s already-shrinking budget – resulting in even fewer resources for Eastern North Carolina military installations. Neither of these options is acceptable.”

“Furthermore, there are serious questions about the credibility of the Obama administration’s claims regarding the use of sarin gas in Syria. The president has failed to explain how our national security depends on engaging in yet another Middle Eastern civil war on the side of radical Islamist rebels who have been documented as possessing sarin gas and BEAHEDING CHRISTIANS, among other atrocities.”

CHEMICAL ATROCITY – THEORY #10

Assad lost his nerve*, perhaps in part pushed to the brink by the alleged assassination attempt, and went for it. Thinking the UN inspectors would be an alibi of a sort and that world focus was on Egypt.

*German Intelligence – Listening into Hezbo/regime they conclude/suggest Assad lost his nerve. See report online.

General Ali Habib.

Assuming his defection is true…

Is the Syrian Army, or sections of it fed up of the mess created by the hardcore (4th Brigade, Republican Guards, Shabeeha etc) and wants out? Have they sent out Ali Habib, some suggest an acceptable figure to the opposition, as an alternative to Assad, someone who the army and opposition could get behind?

Has Gen. Habib discussed with friends in the army who are unhappy at the situation and particularly the upcoming intervention? Have they discussed, briefed, agreed on a plan and snuck out the General?

Bishops in US come out against military strikes on Syria

Leaders of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States opposed military action against Syria on Wednesday, saying it would led to “unintended negative consequences.”

In a letter to President Barack Obama, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops said Washington should instead “work urgently and tirelessly” with others to end Syria’s drawn-out civil war.

While condemning the use of chemical weapons in Syria, it said Pope Francis and Christian bishops in the Middle East have both urged the international community to avoid military intervention.

“They have made it clear that a military attack will be counterproductive, will exacerbate an already deadly situation and will have unintended negative consequences,” it stated.

Co-signing the letter were New York’s Cardinal Timothy Dolan, president of the Conference, and Bishop Richard Pates of Iowa, chair of its international justice and peace committee.

The Roman Catholic Church is the biggest Christian denomination in the United States.

House Might Not Vote on Obama’s Syria Resolution

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/357794/house-might-not-vote-obamas-syria-resolution-john-fund

Congressional aides in both parties tell me that the chances of President Obama winning House approval for military action in Syria are so bad they actually doubt the House would ultimately vote on it if failure seemed certain.

Two new whip counts of House members by ABC News and the liberal Firedoglake web site show a majority of House members firmly or leaning against intervention. The Washington Post’s more conservative count stands at 204 “no” votes, only 13 short of the majority needed to kill the president’s request.

President Obama’s aides say he will begin lobbying Congress personally after he returns from the G-20 summit in Russia late tonight. But his troops have been oddly nonchalant about building support. Organizing for America, the Obama political action group, has been silent and hasn’t communicated at all with its millions of e-mail subscribers about putting pressure on Congress. The White House’s legislative-affairs office has talked with only about 30 percent of House members so far — and some of those contacts are two weeks old.

“I just don’t believe that if defeat is certain, the House leadership will want to see a president utterly humiliated on the House floor in a public vote,” one top aide to the Republican leadership told me. Should the full Senate vote to approve an attack on Syria — as still appears somewhat likely — the battle would shift to the House. “An attempt would be made to let the whole thing go away. I don’t think it would be done to give the GOP any extra leverage in debt-ceiling or budget negotiations — Obama isn’t the grateful type — but simply because the weakness it would demonstrate wouldn’t be good for the country,” the aide told me.

I’ll give the coordinates, and zouzou can collect all the money for itself, being true secular, shxxt is shxxt to me independent of sect. So here you go

Foreign Jihadis
1. Presidential pallace: big contingent of Iranian Jihadies. Given the size, and their real value, 100,000 per person would be enough

2. Qusair: a contingent of nus-lira jihadi terrorist. Also since they are worthless to their owner nus-lira, 50,000 per terrorist is enough

3. Various locations in Aleppo, Also nus-lira jihadies same price as above, as well as near Sit-Zaynab shrine in Damascus. Big Iraqi terrorist contingent likely . 50,000 per terrorist.

4. Aleppo country side: ISIL and NUSRA, –various nationalities including Iraqis, Tunisian, Chechen, etc… 10,000 per each one. No more is needed. For some leaders, who are agents of the big-terrorist (Code named dog-poop chemical athad) reward should be full. (all for zouzou).

5. Same as above, Raqqa and sorrounding

6. Same as above, Idleb country side

Now if one is looking for foreign cyber terrorists and trolls … hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

*Note: condition: In case any of the above is captured, zouzou can only collect after they are handed to the US so that they can be given “humanitarian refugee status” in Guantanamo.

“Lucky 13” votes away from the humiliation of Obama and the victory of Assad.

Uzair General Habib is in Damascus. If not why haven’t the opposition paraded him around?

Probes from Khan al-Assal show chemicals used in the March 19 attack did not belong to standard Syrian army ammunition, and that the shell carrying the substance was similar to those made by a rebel fighter group, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated.

A statement released by the ministry on Wednesday particularly drew attention to the “massive stove-piping of various information aimed at placing the responsibility for the alleged chemical weapons use in Syria on Damascus, even though the results of the UN investigation have not yet been revealed.”

By such means “the way is being paved for military action” against Damascus, the ministry pointed out.

But the samples taken at the site of the March 19 attack and analyzed by Russian experts indicate that a projectile carrying the deadly nerve agent sarin was most likely fired at Khan al-Assal by the rebels, the ministry statement suggests, outlining the 100-page report handed over to the UN by Russia.

( the rush to bomb before an independent UN team publishes its findings should raise flags even among those who oppose Assad but it did not, we all know why)

I agree

Syria vote will ripple through 2014 campaigns

On Wednesday, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted to approve authorization, over the “no” votes of two possible GOP 2016 presidential candidates, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida. Both the full Senate and House are likely to vote on the resolutions next week.

Whatever the outcome of the vote, Syria could be an issue in key Senate races next year, when Republicans hope to wrest six seats away from Democrats and take control of the chamber. “If (a war in Syria) gets complicated, then it could become a problem for everybody,” says Jennifer Duffy of the Cook Political Report.

On all sides, the longer the United States remains engaged in Syria, the bigger a political liability a “yes” vote would become – as did the 2002 Iraq vote.

Absolutely correct, the color of their skin and hair in addition to their facial features are so different to the peasants of East-Ghouta. Sunni kids tend to be more darkish brown with dark hair not like Alawis. In addition, it’s not school time in Syria and there’s noway to have these number of kids gathered in one place at the same time in a terrorists occupied area. That’s why they brunet their pure bodies to ashes instead of burying them with respect, they wanted to hide their crime.

The UN team has asked specifically to see some dead animals, but to their surprise there was none. So in summary, there was a CW attack where only kids and women have been killed while nobody else have been affected (except the acting videos) including dogs, cats and plans.

They have kidnapped more Christian kids this time from town of Maaloula, which mean another CW attack is about to happen.

We need an international protection from these terrorists, we need UN investigation.

Terrorists in reef Latakia and reef dimashq are preparing for another attack with Turkish support in the north and ksa- Jordanian support in the south but this new adventure will not be the same as the last one, the type of attack Obama seems to be pushing for will only strengthen the regime and increase blood shed, obama does not have support for a wider war and he is simply defending his ego not the interests of the USA, that is why he will either deliver a halfhearted strike or starts another war and be remembered as GW Bush II and take this country into another Iraq war or worse, I still think he will choose the first option but that choice will be risky too.

this is not about Assad any more , and calling the attack, as aljazeera and alarabiya are doing now, a war on Assad will only fool those who want to be fooled.

BIG NEWS FROM THE G20 – PUTIN “WILL WE HELP SYRIA? WE WILL.”
OBAMA DONE FOR

Putin: Syria chemical attack is ‘rebels’ provocation in hope of intervention’

The alleged chemical weapons use in Syria is a provocation carried out by the rebels to attract a foreign-led strike, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the G20 summit.

There was no 50/50 split of opinion on the notion of a military strike against the Syrian President Bashar Assad, Putin stressed refuting earlier assumptions.

Only Turkey, Canada, Saudi Arabia and France joined the US push for intervention, he said, adding that the UK Prime Minister’s position was not supported by his citizens.

Russia, China, India, Indonesia, Argentina, Brazil, South Africa and Italy were among the major world’s economies clearly opposed to military intervention.

President Putin said the G20 nations spent the “entire” Thursday evening discussing the Syrian crisis, which was followed by Putin’s bilateral meeting with UK Prime Minister David Cameron that lasted till 3am Moscow time.

Russia “will help Syria” in the event of a military strike, Putin stressed as he responded to a reporter’s question at the summit.

“Will we help Syria? We will. And we are already helping, we send arms, we cooperate in the economics sphere, we hope to expand our cooperation in the humanitarian sphere, which includes sending humanitarian aid to support those people – the civilians – who have found themselves in a very dire situation in this country,” Putin said.

Allen West Rails On Obama’s Approach To Syria

Former Florida Rep. Allen West (R) took to Facebook once again on Wednesday to criticize President Barack Obama’s approach to a possible military strike in Syria.

“As a leader, he did nothing for all these months and now wants to enjoin everyone in his abject failure and abdication of accountability,” West wrote on his Facebook page. “I am not buying into Obama’s weak attempt of guilt-tripping us.”

West asked Obama to recall the outcome of unilateral action in Libya, and said that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D), former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and current Secretary of State John Kerry all “sat with and praised” Syrian President Bashar Assad within the last six years, but now “want to blow him up.”

Less than a week ago, West took to Facebook to criticize Obama for his “strategic incompetence.”

“A year ago President Obama fired off his mouth,” he said, “and now he wants to fire off missiles.”

How Intelligence Was Twisted to Support an Attack on Syria

Secretary of State John Kerry assured the public that the Obama administration’s summary of the intelligence on which it is basing the case for military action to punish the Assad regime for an alleged use of chemical weapons was put together with an acute awareness of the fiasco of the 2002 Iraq WMD intelligence estimate.
Nevertheless, the unclassified summary of the intelligence assessment made public August 30, 2013, utilizes misleading language evocative of the infamous Iraq estimate’s deceptive phrasing. The summary cites signals, geospatial and human source intelligence that purportedly show that the Syrian government prepared, carried out and “confirmed” a chemical weapons attack on August 21. And it claims visual evidence “consistent with” a nerve gas attack.
But a careful examination of those claims reveals a series of convolutedly worded characterizations of the intelligence that don’t really mean what they appear to say at first glance.
The document displays multiple indications that the integrity of the assessment process was seriously compromised by using language that distorted the intelligence in ways that would justify an attack on Syria.

“Diplomacy is the Best Way to Intervene in Syria,” By Max Weiss
Posted by Joshua on Wednesday, September 4th, 2013

Diplomacy is the Best Way to Intervene in Syria
By Max Weiss – Princeton University

“Every time the Syrians mourn a martyr another martyr falls, and that’s the way funerals drag along behind them…more funerals.” So wrote Samar Yazbek in her diaries of the Syrian revolution that I translated from the Arabic.

The specter of greater violence and even more funerals now looms on the Syrian horizon.

Following the massacre of over 1,000 Syrians in an alleged chemical weapons attack, which crossed a “red line” uttered by President Obama last year, our country is now hurtling towards a military campaign against Damascus, ostensibly to punish President Bashar al-Assad.

“We cannot raise our children in a world where we will not follow through on the things we say, the accords we sign, the values that define us,” Obama declared, announcing that he would deign to seek congressional support for armed action in Syria.

However, Mr. Obama is finding it hard to justify intervention.

The White House might summon the responsibility to protect (R2P), an emerging doctrine meant to guide the ethical conduct of states and international institutions, as a justification for intervention. The elephant in the room is that the first 100,000 lives lost to bullets and non-chemical attacks did not seem to activate the moral sensors of the R2P crowd. The nature of the weapons involved—be that chemical or biological, nuclear or conventional—should have no bearing whatsoever on the responsibility of the international community.

They could cite humanitarian suffering as a justification for intervention, but the United States and its allies have consistently lacked the political will to mitigate the humanitarian catastrophe inside Syria as well as among the
mushrooming refugee populations in Jordan, Iraq, Turkey and Lebanon. Given the deterioration of the security situation inside the country and the constantly shifting battleground, non-lethal aid has had a notoriously difficult time finding its way into the hands of those who need it most.

In June of this year, the White House rolled out $300 million in humanitarian assistance on top of $515 million that had already been committed, which sounds like a lot of money. But assuming a conservative estimate of over one and a half million refugees scattered around the region, and as many as 4 million people internally displaced, even if the entire $815 million were doled out in a single year and miraculously made it inside Syria, with no overhead costs, this would work out to $148/refugee. But the displacement crisis is years old now, and on the brink of spiraling out of control: the true assistance is probably closer to $40-50/refugee. In response to the UNHCR’s appeal for $4.4 billion, the largest in the organization’s history, the Obama administration responded by offering to take in 2,000 of the more than 5 million displaced.

So what justification for intervention is left?

For lack of a compelling legal, moral or humanitarian argument, the U.S. administration seems to be ramping up for what might be called Operation Save Face. Obama wants to drop bombs because he once said he would. Such a callous calculus is hardly grounds for a just and viable Middle East policy.

Key figures in the Syrian opposition abroad and inside the country reject negotiations with the regime; they want al-Assad’s head on a pike. Yet there is good reason to believe that military escalation in Syria will likely only result in further military escalation in Syria. Bashar al-Assad is unlikely to respond without a credible threat, but a stick-heavy approach devoid of carrots is a policy bound to fail.

The best course of action for the United States in Syria remains aggressive diplomacy and a more robust commitment to humanitarian assistance.

To begin with, U.S. diplomats and government representatives must live up to their titles and redouble their efforts to unclog sclerotic diplomatic channels. We could urge Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States to stop fanning the flames by arming various rebel groups. We could make every effort to ensure that the upcoming Geneva peace talks do not fail. We could throw our weight behind the Friends of Syria initiative that is set to reconvene in Paris soon. Obama should set aside his dispute with President Vladimir Putin over Edward Snowden and demand a sit-down to resume discussion on this burning issue. Moreover, the election of moderate Iranian president Hassan Rouhani and U.S diplomat Jeffrey Feltman’s recent visit to Tehran represent an opportunity to improve U.S.-Iranian relations that must not be squandered. Unless the White House immediately builds upon these developments, then U.S. diplomacy is once again consigned to enabling militancy rather than defusing conflict.

“Just longing for peace does not necessarily bring it about,” Secretary of State John Kerry concluded in his recent remarks on the crisis in Syria. Through Kerry, the Obama administration affirmed its commitment to “a diplomatic process that can resolve” the conflict “through negotiation.” If diplomacy is the ultimate goal, how does a limited bombing campaign advertised well in advance work in the service of such a negotiated solution?

The Obama administration has made clear once again that the “values that define us” include unilateralism and punitive foreign policy—in other words, vigilantism and thuggery.

If the Obama administration remains loath to actively engage the diplomatic front with the same tenacity it seems to be pursuing military action, then we ought to drop the charade that the Syria crisis has escalated over a concern to protect the Syrian people and acknowledge that this is a policy of machismo: we said we would use our stick, and now we must prove to the world that we can.

/ Diplomacy is the Best Way to Intervene in Syria / Princeton University
Mr Max!
Your articles look without access to intelligence data of the Russian Federation and the United States of America gaunt and without any benefit!I advise you to dive more beyond the known masses

Just so you may know, our most distinguished, well informed and highly reliable sources authorized the release of the following heads up marked by them as of extremely high importance.

Mr. Obama made his speech. He sounded resolute, determined and stronger than ever. He clearly stated that the UNSC no longer is a priority for his stated objective. He also seems to have a clearer vision as to what should be accomplished in Syria by the coalition of the willing against criminal pervert, CWACP for short.

On the other hand, Putin seemed completely lost repeating his oft-repeated tirades about the so-called legality of the defunct UNSC, due to his own incompetence no doubt. Regarding the question he was asked about expected Russian support to Criminal Pervert once attacked, and whether Putin will come to the defense of his criminal comrade, Putin sounded timid and resorted to all sorts of obfuscations and convoluted arguments about the support Russia is already providing, but he emphatically stated that Criminal Pervert’s war is NOT Russia’s war. Putin seems to be content to continue to sell weapons for future Syrian governments, thus confirming the expected sell-out of criminal pervert in the end of the day, and providing so-called humanitarian aid (often poisoned with some forms of strings attached) to the civilian population that he never cared about for the last two years and a half.

It seems a quiet day. No major news or development. But underneath current is reversing.

Just several days ago Obama and Kerry made a momentum to push for military strike with the help of those top brass law makers. It is dissipating fast. Overwhelmingly people express their repulsion for another war no matter how the administration has been tailoring it. Congressman who supports the resolution is facing warning from their constituents.

As we have guessed Obama is still not liked on the other side of political arena. I have confidence to predict the house will NOT pass it.

Whether Obama will still go for the strike without congressional approval, it is his call.

Those Syrian expats who are calling for strike. I challenge you to put a sign in your front yard to express your support for military operation as a Syrian.

Criminals, Jihadists, Islamists and Fanatics in Syria with the support of Muslim Brotherhoods are doing what Muslim jihadists used to do 1400 years ago- They viciously attack and terrorize peaceful communities in the name of Allah (they liberated them from the infidels). Today they use pickups and machine guns instead of horses and swords. They go inside a community, slaughter, kidnap, rape and kill innocent women, men and children to please their twisted mind ALLAH – MR. MCCAIN: SHOUTING ‘ALLAHU AKHBAR!’ is not the SAME AS CHRISTIANS SHOUTING ‘THANK GOD!’ Just keep playing poker! – Thanks God you are not the president of the United States of America.

If speech is silver , the silence is gold!

When Obama loses this he’s done. So are many who vote for this. The big question is will he go ahead anyway? That will surely drag under many of his supporters in 2014.

I wish we would help the Kurds, they seem to be the best use of our resources. The least we can do is help the tens of thousand refugees in Kurdish Iraq. The money can be pretty assured to go toward relief which can’t be said of any funds or supplies going into Syria.

Israel will attack Iran sooner or later, it can’t allow Iran to get nukes. This war is cumming whether we attack Assad or not.

Syrian Army Controls Der Salman in East Ghota Amid Clashes in Homs, Daraa

The Syrian news agency SANA confirmed that units of the national army restored security and stability to the Der Salman town of East Ghota in Rural Damascus on Friday, after the army stormed the town this morning.

A military source said an army unit active in Homs arrested “members of an armed terrorist group coming from Iraq,” as the army continued “chasing terrorists in the neighborhoods of Al-Qarabis and Qosoor, as well as in the towns of Khalidiya and al-Dar al-Kabira, leaving a number of them killed or injured.

The source told SANA that terrorists have targeted with rocket-propelled grenades big Homs hospital in the al-Wae’r neighborhood, which led to serious material damage to the place.

The army also targeted ” gatherings and strongholds of terrorists in al-Sa’n and Hosh al-Shabbout in Homs countryside and Rastan, killing many of them and destroying a number of their vehicles including.

An official source told SANA correspondent that “other army units targeted a number of terrorists’ communities east of engineers’ building and near the Zawiya Mosque in Bab Hood neighborhood , in the vicinity of the Al-Qarabis National Hospital, killing a number of them and destroying their crime tools.

The source pointed out that the Engineering troops dismantled two explosive devices weighing 30 kg each, primed to explode remotely and planted in bags inside the cemetery of Al-Meshrefa village east of Homs.

In Daraa city and its countryside, army units destroyed arms and ammunition depots and hideouts of militants.

A military source told SANA that “army units have left large numbers of dead and wounded terrorists in the city, and destroyed their arms and ammunition depots, in addition to a number of their communities and their hideouts.”

The Syrian army launched a wide-scale military operation to clear the country of al-Qaeda affiliated al-Nusra Front terrorist militiamen active in the state.

Syria was hit by a violent unrest since mid-March 2011, where the Syrian government accuses foreign actors of orchestrating the conflict by supporting the militant opposition groups with arms and money.

Woman informing Kerry, McCain’s opinions on Syria also an advocate for Syrian rebels, Scholar cited by Kerry and McCain as authority on Syrian rebels is actually paid by Syrian rebels

The woman whose opinion lawmakers are relying on to go to war in Syria is also a paid advocate for the war-torn country’s rebels.

On Wednesday, Secretary of State John Kerry encouraged members of the House of Representatives to read a Wall Street Journal op-ed by 26-year-old Elizabeth O’Bagy — an analyst with the Institute for the Study of War — who asserted that concerns about extremists dominating among the Syrian rebels are unfounded.

“Contrary to many media accounts, the war in Syria is not being waged entirely, or even predominantly, by dangerous Islamists and al-Qaida die-hards,” O’Bagy wrote for the Journal on Aug. 30. “Moderate opposition groups make up the majority of actual fighting forces,” she wrote.

Scholar cited by Kerry and McCain as authority on Syrian rebels is actually paid by Syrian rebels; Woman informing Kerry, McCain’s opinions on Syria also an advocate for Syrian rebels

The woman whose opinion lawmakers are relying on to go to war in Syria is also a paid advocate for the war-torn country’s rebels.

But in addition to her work for the Institute for the Study of War, O’Bagy is also the political director for the Syrian Emergency Task Force (SETF), a group that advocates within the United States for Syria’s rebels — a fact that the Journal did not disclose in O’Bagy’s piece.

In an interview with The Daily Caller, O’Bagy said that despite her title as the group’s political director, she is paid as a contractor.

She insisted that she is not involved in the political lobbying that SETF does. “They kind of have two departments within the Task Force — one focused on working with the government on the Hill on advocacy and then the other working inside Syria and directly implementing government contracts,” she said.

O’Bagy’s relationship with SETF is a serious conflict of interest, according to David Reaboi, vice president for strategic communications at the Center for Security Policy.

“While there’s been a lot of worthwhile effort to expose activists considered pro-Assad or pro-Hezbollah — or, at least, to consider their analysis as coming from an interested party — O’Bagy seems to pass herself off as an impartial observer of the situation. Her access to Congress, intelligence services and to think tanks should be regarded as what it really is, which is a reflection of the Syrian rebels’ cause and aspirations,” Reaboi said.

In speaking with TheDC, O’Bagy regularly insisted that she was not a salaried employee of SETF, but a paid contractor acting in an advisory role.

“I’m the political director and aid coordinator, and that’s my official title at the organization, but that’s mostly because it provides me an opportunity to engage on humanitarian issues and to be a part of some of these larger government contracts going to humanitarian aid,” O’Bagy said.

The Foreign Policy news site reported in June that SETF “boasts extensive contacts with rebel commanders” and “spent months lobbying Congress, the State Department and the White House for everything from small arms to anti-tank and and anti-aircraft weapons to body armor to advanced communications equipment for the rebels.”

O’Bagy is quoted in the Foreign Policy piece saying that the Obama administration’s June decision to openly arm Syrian rebels didn’t go far enough. ”Small arms and ammunition really only get you so far against airplanes,” she said then.

If you borrow someone else brain, you will realize that if the strike was successful,those who voted for it will have more chance to win re election

Just so you may know, our most distinguished, well informed and highly reliable sources authorized the release of the following heads up marked by them as of extremely high importance.

The defense ministers of the EU, meeting in Vilnius, Lithuania, just agreed on important resolutions with regards to the use of banned CW’s by the Criminal Pervert who goes by A.K.A. B. Al-Assad.

The ministers condemned Criminal Pervert for his most recent crime against humanity which crowned his long and lustred career of continued murders and slaughters of innocent Syrian people. The ministers called for full accountability measures to be enforced against Criminal Pervert Inc. They further called upon the international community to show unwavering resolve in confronting Criminal Pervert, apprehending him and bringing him to justice.

On the other hand, British media came out today with a flurry of articles all stressing the importance of military action against Criminal Pervert as the only way forward to deal with the situation. It looks like the British public opinion has been misgauged by the parliamentarians who clearly betrayed traditional British values that are clearly being violated by the recent developments and the capitulation of the British Parliament to Crimes Unlimited, a clear black mark on the record of this institution that will take quite sometime to erase.

Elizabeth O’Bagy was cornered by Fox news yesterday- They unmasked her live- She is an opportunist- Sold her soul for few bucks !

I called Senator McCain office today and I expressed my great appreciation on behalf of Syrian Americans to his effort saving Syrian children.

I’ve always been disgusted with the 26 year old O’Bagy. The ISW reports are full of glaring holes.

I called Senator McCain’s office today to express great disgust, on behalf of all Syrian-Americans, for his rapacious efforts to murder Syrian children.

“When Obama loses this he’s done. So are many who vote for this. The big question is will he go ahead anyway? That will surely drag under many of his supporters in 2014”

Obama would have lost, I think he will be “winning”. The American people will love and respect him more to have allowed them to give their opinion, when he could have just bypassed them.

I have repeated that I think Obama secretly wants the Congress to say NO, because while he is saying that ‘justice’ must be done, he is not at all convinced that a military strikes will do that. The plan he presented look so improvised and wishy-washy that it seems to be designed to be unconvincing.

He was certainly pressed by the warmongers ( France, UK, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Turkey) to react fast, without thinking too much. Well he managed not to act so fast. Yet he could not get an alternative resolution in the short time after UK backed off.
To buy time, he threw the warmongers plan to the Congress, while he is working on developing a diplomatic plan B.

I still think that the plan B involves first the neutralization of the chemical weapons, not militarily as this is impossible, but through a diplomatic deal where Russia would play a role, second forcing the opposition to go to Geneva.
well, all this maybe wishful thinking..

http://www.sanluisobispo.com/2013/09/06/2669205/france-urges-eu-to-be-united-on.html

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — French President Francois Hollande said Friday he will wait for the U.N. inspectors’ report on their investigation of a chemical weapons attack in Syria before deciding whether to intervene militarily.

That means even further delay in potential international armed action against Syrian President Bashar Assad’s military. France and the United States are preparing possible strikes, saying they have convincing evidence that Assad’s regime launched the Aug. 21 attack.

France, which firmly backs the Syrian rebels and has strategic and historic interest in the region, had been ready to act last week but held off when President Barack Obama declared he would consult Congress first.

Hollande told reporters at a Group of 20 summit in St. Petersburg, Russia, on Friday: “Yes, we will wait for the inspectors’ report, as we will wait for the Congress vote.”

It was the first time Hollande said he would wait for the U.N. report.

Syria’s govt offers bounty for “non-Syrian terrorists”

The Syrian government has announced that it is offering a bounty to anyone who captures a “non-Syrian terrorist”, or helps to apprehend one, state television said. A bounty of 500,000 Syrian pounds (roughly $4,000) will be offered for capture, while 200,000 pounds (about $1,500) goes to anyone who gives information regarding terrorist locations. The statement said the identities of those who provided information would be kept secret and their “protection ensured”. Concerning Syrian rebels who informed on their comrades, state television added, that they would be granted amnesty and “their affairs will be settled.” The ongoing Syrian civil war started two and a half years ago and has already cost over 100,000 lives, according to UN estimates.

Al-Qaeda Demands Congress Pass Obama’s Syrian War Resolution

http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2013/09/al-qaeda-demands-congress-pass-obamas-syrian-war-resolution-2754700.html

Below is a statement by Jamal Ahmed al-Tahiri, the spokesman for Al-Qaeda in Damascus (AQD), demanding that Congress pass President Obama’s Syrian War Resolution.

In the Name of Allah the Merciful, America the Accursed, Aslam O’ Alikum,

Very rarely in history do states go to war for moral reasons and higher values of civilization as opposed to the safeguarding of national interests, or national defense.

In our day, humanity is confronted with crimes and injustices that are committed by intolerable dictators, as well as the indiscriminate use of weapons of mass destruction by rogue regimes.

In Syria, Bashar the dog has transgressed against the moral laws of mankind, the divine laws of God Almighty, and basic international norms. In the face of this reality, America has decided to act, not for its own selfish reasons and petty national interests, but to defend the values, interests, and laws of a new global civilization. America is acting against Assad to uphold the basic rules of law on the international stage.

Al-Qaeda in Damascus respects this decisive and courageous step taken by America. We see in Washington a light that can illuminate Syria in our darkest night.

Russia demands IAEA to declare risks of military strike against Syria on nuke safety

VIENNA, Sept 6 (KUNA) — The Russian Federation has asked the International Atomic Energy Agency to reveal negative consequences of any military action against Syria.
“In order to prevent further negative scenarios, we urge the IAEA Secretariat to react without further delay to the current situation and to provide member states with full analyses of risk associated with possible American strikes on the Miniature Neutron Source Reactor (MNSR), near Damascus, ” Valdimir Voronkov, Russia’s resident representative at IAEA, said in a letter to IAEA Secretary General Yukiya Amano.
Russia warned that any strike on Damascus could have catastrophic consequence on nuclear nonproliferation.
“In light of aggravation of the situation around Syria of particular concern is the possibility that a military action against this country may affect the sites sensitive from the point of view of nuclear safety, security and nuclear nonproliferation,” Voronko wrote.
“Thus, if a bomb deliberately or inadvertently hits the Miniature Neutron Source Reactor (MNSR) near Damascus the consequences could be catastrophic.” (end) amg.ibi KUNA 062100 Sep 13NNNN

Brutality of Syrian Rebels Posing Dilemma in West
By C. J. CHIVERS
Published: September 5, 2013

The Syrian rebels posed casually, standing over their prisoners with firearms pointed down at the shirtless and terrified men.

The prisoners, seven in all, were captured Syrian soldiers. Five were trussed, their backs marked with red welts. They kept their faces pressed to the dirt as the rebels’ commander recited a bitter revolutionary verse.

“For fifty years, they are companions to corruption,” he said. “We swear to the Lord of the Throne, that this is our oath: We will take revenge.”

The moment the poem ended, the commander, known as “the Uncle,” fired a bullet into the back of the first prisoner’s head. His gunmen followed suit, promptly killing all the men at their feet.

This scene, documented in a video smuggled out of Syria a few days ago by a former rebel who grew disgusted by the killings, offers a dark insight into how many rebels have adopted some of the same brutal and ruthless tactics as the regime they are trying to overthrow.

As the United States debates whether to support the Obama administration’s proposal that Syrian forces should be attacked for using chemical weapons against civilians, this video, shot in the spring of 2012, joins a growing body of evidence of an increasingly criminal environment populated by gangs of highwaymen, kidnappers and killers.

The video also offers a reminder of the foreign policy puzzle the United States faces in finding rebel allies as some members of Congress, including Senator John McCain, press for more robust military support for the opposition.

In the more than two years this civil war has carried on, a large part of the Syrian opposition has formed a loose command structure that has found support from several Arab nations, and, to a more limited degree, the West. Other elements of the opposition have assumed an extremist cast, and openly allied with Al Qaeda.

Across much of Syria, where rebels with Western support live and fight, areas outside of government influence have evolved into a complex guerrilla and criminal landscape.

That has raised the prospect that American military action could inadvertently strengthen Islamic extremists and criminals.

Abdul Samad Issa, 37, the rebel commander leading his fighters through the executions of the captured soldiers, illustrates that very risk.

Known in northern Syria as “the Uncle” because two of his deputies are his nephews, Mr. Issa leads a relatively unknown group of fewer than 300 fighters, one of his former aides said. The former aide, who smuggled the video out of Syria, is not being identified for security reasons.

A trader and livestock herder before the war, Mr. Issa formed a fighting group early in the uprising by using his own money to buy weapons and underwrite the fighters’ expenses.

His motivation, his former aide said, was just as the poem he recited said: revenge.

In Washington on Wednesday, Secretary of State John Kerry addressed the issue of radicalized rebels in an exchange with Representative Michael McCaul, a Texas Republican. Mr. Kerry insisted, “There is a real moderate opposition that exists.”

Mr. Kerry said that there were 70,000 to 100,000 “oppositionists.” Of these, he said, some 15 percent to 20 percent were “bad guys” or extremists.

Mr. McCaul responded by saying he had been told in briefings that half of the opposition fighters were extremists.

Much of the concern among American officials has focused on two groups that acknowledge ties to Al Qaeda. These groups — the Nusra Front and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria — have attracted foreign jihadis, used terrorist tactics and vowed to create a society in Syria ruled by their severe interpretation of Islamic law.

They have established a firm presence in parts of Aleppo and Idlib Provinces and in the northern provincial capital of Raqqa and in Deir al-Zour, to the east on the Iraqi border.

While the jihadis claim to be superior fighters, and have collaborated with secular Syrian rebels, some analysts and diplomats also note that they can appear less focused on toppling President Bashar al-Assad. Instead, they said, they focus more on establishing a zone of influence spanning Iraq’s Anbar Province and the desert eastern areas of Syria, and eventually establishing an Islamic territory under their administration.

These are your heroes:

Video footage has emerged which shows the moment seven of President Bashar al-Assad’s Syrian soldiers are executed on camera by rebels fighting to overthrow the regime.
The soldiers are stripped, bound and pushed to the ground where a number of rebels stand over them pointing guns at their bodies. Some bear vicious injuries on their backs and arms.
Just before they are killed, the ring-leader Abdul Samad Issa – known as ‘The Uncle’, recites a poem before he fires the first bullet.

I fully agree with you and a game player and a liar too.

Just so you may know, we just received a most important heads up from our well informed and highly reliable sources.

There was a competition that was not lost on the roving media cameras in Petersburg on seating arrangements which involved specifically neighboring seat to the head of the Saudi delegation. David Cameron left his seat next to Al-Assaf, Saudi minister of treasury, for a brief period of time. Cameron came back from behind to find Angela Merkel seated next to the Saudi minister and engaged in a long conversation. Cameron then tapped Merkel on her shoulder, and when she looked and saw Cameron she did not understand at first the object of the tap until Cameron pointed to the plaque in front of her with his name on it. Politicians have a unique way of faking ignorance in public.

There was also a slur made by Putin’s spokesman in which he said that Britain is a small island to which no one cares about or pays much attention. Cameron had to take issue of the slur to remind the Russians and the audience, that even though Britain is an island and small, yet its historical grandeur is unparalleled by even the much bigger states. Cameron also reminded the audience that the Brits gave the world the most lasting inventions in addition to the Beatles and Elgar.

Our most distinguished benefactors wish to remind Cameron that Elgar is in fact of Arab origin.

Obama Still Losing on Syria Abroad, in Congress

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/09/obama-still-losing-on-syria-abroad-in-congress.html

“It’s conceivable at the end of the day I don’t persuade a majority of the American people that it’s the right thing to do,” said Obama from Russia today. “And then each member of Congress is going to have to decide.” He added, “I trust my constituents want me to offer my best judgment. That’s why they elected me. That’s why they re-elected me.”
…
The obvious subtext of President Obama’s plan to speak to the American people about Syria on Tuesday ahead of a planned congressional vote next week — and his refusal to say what happens if he’s shot down — is that things are not going well. If yesterday’s rough vote estimates were bad, today’s are worse: “If the House voted today on a resolution to attack Syria, President Barack Obama would lose — and lose big,” Politico reports.

Senators Authorizing Syria Strike Got More Defense Cash Than Lawmakers Voting No

Senators voting Wednesday to authorize a Syria strike received, on average, 83 percent more campaign financing from defense contractors than lawmakers voting against war.
Overall, political action committees and employees from defense and intelligence firms such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, United Technologies, Honeywell International, and others ponied up $1,006,887 to the 17 members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who voted yes or no on the authorization Wednesday, according to an analysis by Maplight, the Berkeley-based nonprofit that performed the inquiry at WIRED’s request.
Committee members who voted to authorize what the resolution called a “limited” strike averaged $72,850 in defense campaign financing from the pot. Committee members who voted against the resolution averaged $39,770, according to the data.

It’s all about the money, folks. The military industrial complex owns various assets in Congress, through overt and covert contributions to finance their election cycles: it’s just that simple.

MA’LOOLAA HAS BEEN CLEANSED COMPLETELY OF THE CHECHEN RODENT INFESTATION. THE SYRIAN ARMY’S REACTION WAS SUDDEN AND TOTAL WITH 49 ____* KILLED AS THE ARMY SURROUNDED AND SNUFFED THEM OUT. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE PEOPLE OF MA’LOOLAA.

We are pleased to report that our prediction yesterday, based on intel from Syria, proved to be correct as to the exact hour. The Syrian army, which was devastated on Wednesday by a Jordanian suicide bomber operating for the Chechen group, “Brigades of the Immigrants” (yawn), recovered its bearings immediately and took control of all quarters in the city by Thursday at 11:00 p.m. Damascus time.

The details are that a Jordanian national vermin had prayed and was given the assurances of eternal life by some quack fake-Muslim shaman 2 hours before he got behind the wheel of a Mercedes truck loaded with a ton of military-grade TNT and apparently C-4. The truck was reinforced with protective metal to prevent SAA soldiers from disabling him before he reached the checkpoint at the northern entrance to the city. The terrorist rodents had gotten used to the SAA’s quick response to approaching trucks and provided protection in just the right amount to allow the Jordanian weasel to reach his goal.

Monzer reports that a resourceful sergeant in charge of the unit reported the advance of a “suspicious” truck and was told to order it to stop. When it did not, the sergeant ordered his men to open fire. When the truck did not stop after being riddled with hundreds of shells, an RPG was fired at its engine compartment. That was too late as the truck had reached a high rate of speed and was hurtling toward the checkpoint. Some soldiers were saved by armored vehicles and trenches around the checkpoint. All told, though, 13 SAA fighters were martyred by this Satanic monster who is now swimming in his own impersonal Oblivion.

After the usual Chechen-style slaughter-orgy now familiar to Syria-watchers, the SAA regrouped under command of a Major Salaah —– and worked around the Chechen ____*. Just a few hours ago, the word came that the SAA broomed them out of existence as of last night. There were no rat survivors but 2. The only names of carcasses sent by Monzer are:

headless horseman from the Urals, continues on the path laid down by Bouthaina Shaaban, everyone’s favourite demented Assad propagandist.

With a fresh turn, however, the faceless cheerleader suggests that Alawite children are ‘different’ from other Syrian children, lighter in skin … we have descended past stupidity to the grinning face of racism.

Does it occur to the squad and its intellectual leaders that this kind of racist dodgem does nothing to support the fantasy of Auntie?

Here’s a challenge to the squaddies: assemble a coherent, comprehensive and warranted account of the Magical Alawi Airlift Gassing to Ghouta. Fill in the blanks. Give us one real name of one real child who was ‘taken’ … sketch a map of the evil plot as it happened.

Meanwhile, the sideshow of political machinations in Hogwallow on the Potomac continues. I have zero confidence in the US Congress to support Obama — there are too many domestic partisan blockades and no history of putting aside differences to speak with one voice. We can be amazed, appalled or bored sick by the amount of posturing on the issues, heartened, saddened or revolted by the messy work of US democracy.

But contrast the congressional chest-beating and electoral tactics to the utterly quiescent and powerless structures of state ‘reformed’ by Assad. Where there is never a debate, only endorsement, never any sharp questions raised against presidential policy, only hosannas (or, if a mild dissent, prosecution).

It bears mentioning that the massive destruction of urban infrastructure is the responsibility of the Assad war machine. At no time did the powers at the top of the pyramid deign to ask for commentary or votes on war plans. Each escalation of the war machine was a choice by the war cabinet alone.

I cannot see the future dreamed of by the headless horsemen of war here. I cannot picture what kind of Syria these folk want to see — beyond a dictator on his throne with unlimited power and control.

We catch only glimpses of this glorious future: a place where absolute power is vested in a family, where all laws are decreed, where total annihilation of the ‘terrorists’ is accomplished, where the secret Terrorist Court is the highest assizes, where no independent media may act, where all those who are opposed to the dictatorship can languish in prison or be dispatched by a bullet to the head or tortured in perpetua.

A country of iron rule, fear, obedience and subjection. What a dream. Stalingrad as far as one can see, this is what comes after the final peace/victory/annihilation wished for by the hatemongers here.

Note well that the greatest war cries in these comments are not from the side of the anti-Assads. Remember the numerous instances of aggressive hate and threats and demands from this side. Remember the boasts, the calls to destruction and domination, the knives of fanaticism and intolerance.

Note that the cheerleaders have cheered on and will cheer on the dictator in every measure, in every atrocity, in every lunatic re-casting of history. at every step and level of madness. Note the silent support for the crazy claims of Shaaban. And wonder with me just what stores of crazy await us still in the horror that is Syria. Wonder also about the post-war Assadist paradise the headless hope will emerge from the carnage.

What will the cheerleaders cheer if Assad can regain total control and vanquish the enemy? We see the signs of this magical future state here every day, a state of coercion, led by war criminals, slaked by blood.

Cheer on the war machine, horsemen. Cheer on Assad chemotherapy, summary executions, terror-rockets, fuel-air bombs, and daily tallies of innocent non-combatant lives lost. Cheer on the Terrorist Court, and cheer on the unelected thugs who lead the security services. Cheer on the total annihilation of the Other, and cheer on the relentless purges that will follow the consolidation of power by the criminals.

I suspect the Assad squad will become more shrill in the days to come, in suspense, in not knowing what decision will come from America.

Hey everyone, we have the full name of the body which posts here as DON.

Disinformation Or Nonsense. (D.O.N.)

It’s their official departmental title. It describes the material they use to spam SyriaComment with junk cutpastes.

(As TARA pointed out, they are the re-branded ANN (Assad News Network) on this forum)

Some of you believe, or at least are selling the idea, that if this goes well it will be a win for Obama. First off, this isn’t going to pass, maybe in the Senate, maybe, but it stands no chance in the House. It looks like the House won’t even put it to a vote because it has no chance. So he will have wasted time allowing Assad to make the mission far tougher and thumb his nose at the will of the people, 60% who oppose this, if he goes ahead and strikes. In that case it has to be a resounding success, even though he hasn’t even defined what success would be. We can’t stop Assad from doing this again, especially if he didn’t do it in the first place. He will have no down side using chemical weapons after this and has much to gain. He can say I might as well use them if I’ve already been punished. He can show that the Americans can’t push him around. Trying to sell a second strike for a second use of WMDs after the first failed will be more than even this egomaniac can contemplate.

A successful strike will be if there are no civilian casualties, he stops further use of WMDs, no chemical weapons are released into the environment, there is no retaliation from Syria, Iran, Hezbollah, or Russia, and Assad takes a beating but not too big a beating. Imagine being a general planning that? There will be dead children even if Assad has to plant them after the fact. Iran will have to react, otherwise its credibility takes a hit. Any excuse to attack Israel will be pounced on. Jordan could be hit. Lebanon might be hit. Depending on the scope of any retaliation Israel will counter attack, we might have to counter attack, we could escalate this into a nightmare. This cannot go well for Obama, it’s just impossible.

US would love for HA to retaliate, that will be the end of HA, Persia can not be successful.
Success is destroy CW,destroy airports and aircrafts
Most important is to destroy Assad thugs around Damascus,to enable the FSA to enter Damascus

It’s diplomacy that stops other countries from holding their noses and pointing out Putin’s stinking, leaking trousers.

Known but unspoken fact: Russia is a collaborator and facilitator in the atrocities committed by the Assad regime against the Syrian people.

Which makes nonsense of involving Russia in any actions to stop Assad using chemical weapons. It’s asking Putin himself to surrender, admit full blame and stop what he’s doing in Syria.

How to disband Hezbollah instantly: offer its members and their families visas, mainstream jobs and a chance to make a life in the west.

Watch Nasrullah being knocked over and trampled to dust in the rush.

Same thing would work with members of the Iranian militia teams in Syria.

Ha ha buck up Syriahater! Victory is coming for Syria and Assad!!

what a beautiful image to be greeted by.

‘Buffalo’ Bill Scherk the fired ex-Syria Comment moderator. Scherk was running his own NSA spy ring when he had an all-access pass to your private information. He was giving his Nusra cannibal friends poster’s private IP address so they could be harassed at their homes and places of business.

Shame on Syria Comment for allowing private information about posters to leak out via Scherk.

Ann told me all about it.

PS – Scherk you don’t delude yourself into believing anyone reads your long-winded drivel do you? Zzzz.

You are no Danielle Steel ‘Buffalo’ Bill.

cnn had a dr. khaldoun (from philly) arguing against intervention! how ironic is that? made my heart skip for a second. i was like, nah, that can’t be our doc. ?

158. William Scott Scherk said:

Several times we have seen this news-junkie propose that Clinton has said nothing in way of support to a military strike on Syria’s civil war machine.

Well this quote from your link is where we got that idea:

After allegations of a horrific Syrian chemical weapons attack surfaced last month and the Obama administration prepared a response, Clinton remained silent, even as other recent Obama administration alumni, including former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, and several of the president’s political rivals, spoke out.

Now that she’s spoken out I would bet she is hoping that when it fails to pass congress Obama lets the matter drop. She is like McCain, she wants substantial support for the rebels not a “message” meant to be just strong enough to avoid being mocked.

After Obama gets defeated at Congress, someone in his administration needs to take the heat.

The indisputable candidate would have to be John Kerry.

Otherwise, imagine in the future diplomatic scene, his counterpart would ask him whether he has authority for the decision or he needs to get a vote from Congress. That would be too embarrassing for him and US.

Majedkhaldoun would you support Christian heavily armed militias (not regular armies) coming to Syria in order to defend the Christian minority and their holy places against you know who? Would you support European and Latin American countries directly or indirectly donating money and weapons to these “Christian helpers”? Should the Pope demand a new modern crusade? It could become a popular and effective way to erase Al Qaida extremists in Syria.

Here’s a crystal clear reminder that Assad is NOT Syria.

Imagine how much toxic fog would disappear if this went viral on the internet and was shown on prime time TV.

These are your heroes:

I heard Kafranbel was gassed by Nusra. Is that true? Someone said it would ensure Obama attacking if the entire town was wiped out in a new chemical attack.

I believe it is only a rumor.

I am very curious watching the actions of the United States. They really want to overthrow Assad. Very , very, very much. But the original plan to change the political system of a sovereign state has failed . The Islamists have been so stupid that even with the help of American trainers , losing a civil war. Obviously, the need to help themselves. It is curious that the Islamists , who consider the United States the number one enemy , touching look into the mouth Americans waiting for help . They are so stupid that they think : ” Use of Americans in their own interests, and then he ‘ll count them as their primary foe .” Americans think exactly the opposite . Islamists want them to get their hands (which, as it turned out , grow out of ass ) to change the regime in Syria. The fact that it will be then supplied weapons used against them , they now do not think , because the main objective of the operation is in danger …

Thus , the debit to credit . Islamists get kicked . And waiting for help from the U.S.. And the U.S. hesitates to drop the mask and very very insolently climb into Syria. In the first place , because it will be a signal to all without nuclear countries: ” No weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery – you are nothing . You not independent . We can bend when you want. Gird active .” In short , the United States really need a reason . Americans are unsophisticated . They say: ” We will intervene if Assad is killing civilians en masse .” And here again! A few facts massacre . But very quickly it turns out that the ” brutal regime ” was not involved in the massacre . The Islamists have worked too rough. Then the U.S. makes another statement : “We will intervene if it used chemical weapons .” And then , how to order – it applies. How apropos !

Let’s say it was used Assad . What for ? In order to lure the United States into a trap. To get them to get into a conflict . Probably some kind of ruse , eh? And if Assad does not , it turns out the Americans , too, must intervene – but on the side of the regime. They wanted to overthrow . Naturally, the U.S. never and that will not help Assad . So what? No options . You need not deviate from the version that used the chemical weapons Assad . Otherwise Americans fall into the same trap laid for them . What evidence there is in the U.S.? Actually no . Only statements that they believe in the guilt of Assad. Excellent . It would be nice to extend this practice to the courts of all instances. Here we are sure that the person is guilty , the evidence we have , like, is there, but the secret , no one will show . Write down the ten citizen , your honor.

Now, for example , a call from the U.S. State Department to some president of some country and begin to make : what the opposition is something you behind bars , a peace rally was shot ? We express our concern. And he answered them : “We have no choice. They used chemical weapons. Proof? Secret .” That’s all. In modern politics the main foreign policy that ? To be able to lie with abandon , despite the fact that everyone knows that you are lying, as Trotsky . Moreover , it is curious that the Americans took all the complaints about the lie chimical weapons in Iraq , as God’s dew. And now the same crank in Syria. Of course , the chemical weapons from al-Assad is. He applied it against the citizens of the country ? The big question. And apply whether against a foreign aggressor ? In this I do not doubt for a second . Americans also nothing to prevent drop nuclear bombs on the Japanese cities of peace . And can I apply poisons Islamists against their supporters ? Yes easily. These gentlemen end justifies any means. And when the whole thing at stake, can be sacrificed as an offering for its bloody deity that it would send for a rain of fire on enemy troops .

In fact, we are now seeing the panic the U.S. State Department . It always happens when the primary plan collapsed , and spare not. But panic soon gave way to a primitive ” will act on the Iraqi version .” Nothing that we then screwed up ? Nothing , the world gobble . The main thing is to pretend that we do believe in your nonsense . Americans do not want to send troops to Syria. They want a little bombing to help Islamist s. And if that does not work ? The U.S. will be in the role of golife , grab a little ass kicked by David. Worse, Syria may transfer to the United States , some fighting, because military intervention – a declaration of war . Worse may be that disloyal U.S. Middle Eastern states will realize that the ” superpower ” is not omnipotent , and its opinion is negligible.

Among other things , the protection of civilians in the United States is always associated with the massive loss of most of these civilians. Point strikes prove to be carpet bombing . And then it’s all in the WikiLeaks lay out . Because ordinary Americans meanness and lies . So much so that even the beautiful patriotic scenes in Hollywood movies , it is not capable of varnishing . Lying U.S. will inevitably become apparent. U.S. leadership for several years in fact tramples his country’s flag , destroying the state’s authority in the international arena . Little lies creates a lot of mistrust . But Americans do not enjoy a little lie. Only global lies, only the hardcore …

SIMOHURTTA #171. Wrong. They wouldn’t be normal Christians with the approval of any church or government any more than the “foreign fighters” having a violent fantasy adventure in Syria are normal Muslims.

If they existed, any such group would be misfits, losers or mentally unstable types with their own invented religion just like their ISIS counterparts.

Here’s the core case for doing something in Syria. So why such a tsunami of irrelevant noise and hysteria obscuring it?

Shame on Syria Comment for allowing private information about posters to leak out via Scherk.
It seems that Scherkov Surveyors shoes looking for work to improve their situation! Also leaked about me the ID to their masters!

If Christians acted to protect Christian towns in Syria they’d be worshiped as heroes.

I am still convinced regardless of the outcome of this CW. The war is entering to its last phase: path to ceasefire and peace.

The scenario in my mind is this: No military strike. Further US covert military involvement in Syria will be under tighter scrutiny. That does not mean Assad is the winner. Russia will exert more pressure on him. John Kerry will “voluntarily” resign. US administration has enough of Syria war and it also pushes for political solution.

For American politics, Americans saying NO to their government’s military aggression and its success will have profound impact in the future.

As for the Jihadi in Syria, American’s drone attacks might be the best way to get rid of them.

Long ago I emailed Joshua Landis asking about ‘Buffalo’ Bill Scherk. This was after the now-banned Ann told me Scherk was handing out IPs to Nusra supporters here. Landis replied that Scherk no longer had access to the private IPs. I asked Matt Barber about it too and he said he’d never give out private IPs. That is good but this invasion of privacy did happen.

U R absolutely right!

This Canadian abomination writes these long, boring odes to Al-Nusra. Who reads them? Other Nusra supporters? Does this odd person feel that Syrian women and children will be spared Obama’s smart bombs? Spared a cannibal’s hunger? Do Syrian women really deserve to be raped just because Obama and a few traitors hate Assad?

How many Syrian women and children must die for Bill Scherk to be sated? Or, is it all Assad’s fault? Missiles will fall on civilians because of Assad?

Money quote:

“They are embarrassed to be associated with the amateurism of the Obama administration’s attempts to craft a plan that makes strategic sense. None of the White House staff has any experience in war or understands it. So far, at least, this path to war violates every principle of war, including the element of surprise, achieving mass and having a clearly defined and obtainable objective.”

Well, well. Who had approved that Finnish Muslim convert who was killed in the fights of Aleppo? Who had approved the Russian Muslims fighting in Syria? Or those from Libya etc. Let us not forget, that those numerous foreign Muslims on their violent fantasy adventure are well paid, armed and trained. The foreign religious Muslim mercenaries are not a rumour. They are a well organized and expensive reality.

It would be naive to believe, that there would not be “private” interests on the Christian side to intervene (not in the form USA and others governments want). A couple more attacks by Muslim extremists against Christians and those foreign Christian religious militias could be a existing reality. Religious extremism is not a monopoly for Muslims. Christians have been at least as “successful” on that questionable field (using religion in wars and conflicts).

Just so you may know, we have been made privy by our well informed and highly reliable sources of this most important of all heads up which we now release to the genetal public.

We have been informed that Criminal Pervert, A.K.A Ass-Head, is now confined to living in one of three farms all located in Yaafour (?????). It is further revealed that C.P. (criminal pervert for short from now on) never leaves the Yaafour farms for any reason whatsoever. This could be out of fear due to circumstance, or it could be due to an inherent trait of preference to living close to like-natured animal species such as dogs, donkeys, rats and the like.

Nevertheless, a plan has been put in place to transport C.P. by a Gazelle helicopter to a naval base in Tartous if and when the skies start falling. However, the flying distance between Yaafour and the Tartous naval base is 350 km over hostile terrain which may expose C.P.’s flying chopper to downing either by the Americans, or by the Syrian fighters who have recently acquired means to down such flying machines.

So, the plan is to fly over Lebanese airspace, evading detection by the Lebanese but not necessarily by the Americans. Hezbollah promised to provide the necessary logistics for the fateful flight which would put C.P. out of the Syrian theatre of operations in preparation for his eventual shipment to the Hague.

Contrary to what Obama thinks that the world is looking at the USA to do something drastic, the world is telling him do something political, but no war
What if Congress votes no on Syria?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-23997250

President Obama’s heading back to the US for a horrible week ahead. He spoke at at news conference in Russia like a man who felt agonised by his own choice.

He said: “I’m not itching for military action”. He added: “I’ve spent the last four-and-a-half years doing everything I can to reduce our reliance on military power as a means of meeting our international obligations and protecting the American people.”

To some, watching him wrestling with difficult issues will make him a more authentic proponent of a tough choice. But it may not be the best frame of mind for a man who has to sell a plan like his whole reputation rests on it.

“This is not convenient. This is not something that I think a lot of folks around the world find an appetising set of choices,” he said.

“But the question is, do these norms mean something? And if we’re not acting, what does that say?”

He added that the leader of a small country said he was glad nobody looked to his country to take action. But people did, the president said, have that expectation of America.

“It’s tough because people do look to the United States. And the question for the American people is, is that a responsibility that we’re willing to bear?

“And I believe that when you have a limited, proportional strike like this – not Iraq; not putting boots on the ground; not some long, drawn-out affair; not without any risks, but with manageable risks – that we should be willing to bear that responsibility.”

Intriguingly, he suggested he went to Congress because he knew he didn’t really have the authority under the law to take action, in this case, without it.

“I put it before Congress because I could not honestly claim that the threat posed by Assad’s use of chemical weapons on innocent civilians and women and children posed an imminent, direct threat to the United States,” he said.

But he refused to say what he would do if Congress voted “no”. That, he said, would be jumping the gun.

But all the indications from Congress are that the “no” votes are piling up. If there is one, that will present the president with his next agonising choice.

Until the fall of Morsi, the Americans were convinced by Qatar and Turkey that, except for a few, the Islamits in Syria were “moderate” Moslem Brotherhood rebels sympathizers who will obey the emir of Qatar who is paying them their salary.
The plan was that the MB would take over Syria as it took over Egypt and Tunisia and Israel is in security for ever.

The shock of the Egyptian upheaval on the MB, supported by Saudi Arabia who could not accept Qatar’s leadership and even less the MB, left the USA in dismay. The fall of the Qatari architect of that scenario and his replacement by Bandar Bin Sultan was not a good omen.
Suddenly the USA realized that the Islamists were mostly Al Qaeda sympathizers, that the FSA was a hopeless skeleton and that Bashar al Assad was winning over militarily as well as the hearts and minds of Syrian. The USA has to save its face.
It did an improvised change by naively allowing the Saudi Arabia to take the matter in their hands.
Bandar Bin Sultan’s immediate plan was to bring the USA to attack Syria, since he could not count anymore on the FSA, still loyal to Qatar and weak.

The ‘chemical attack’ came just to rush the USA to war after assuring Obama that the UK, France and all Europe will follow. Stupidly Obama believed Israeli and Saudi Arabia intelligence.
Second shock for Obama: UK backs off and it appears that Europe is far from supporting war on Syria.
Obama panics and throws the decision to the Congress thinking that if the Israeli lobby and Arab money succeed in convincing the American people the whole world will follow.
It does not seem to happen.
Before he gets another shock, isn’t time for Obama to ask the Russian and Europe for help out of that quagmire his amateurism has put him in?

Syria vote: What happens if Obama loses?

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/DC-Decoder/2013/0906/Syria-vote-What-happens-if-Obama-loses

Current polls show the House opposing a strike on Syria. Obama is not saying whether he would order an attack anyway, but a loss could have long-lasting political effects at home and abroad.
…
“I can’t believe how badly he’s mishandled this issue,” said Sen. John McCain (R) of Arizona to a local radio show.

But left-leaning pundit Greg Sargent makes another argument: in such a situation voters will see a president abiding by the will of the people. The liberal Democratic base, which largely opposes Syrian intervention, would rally to support Obama.

“Independents, who have tilted strongly against an attack, might be supportive, too,” writes Sargent.

And the Weekly Standard’s William Kristol, a conservative who supports retaliation against Syria for its chemical use, warns that GOP lawmakers who vote “no” on the use of force may be handing Obama a domestic political weapon.
..
“The only thing that can get Obama off the hook now is for Republicans to deny him authorization for the use of force against the Assad regime,” writes Kristol. “Then the GOP can be blamed for whatever goes wrong on Syria, and elsewhere in the Middle East, over the next months and years.”

A VIPS MESSAGE FOR OBAMA, AMERICA AND THE WORLD
By Larry Johnson on September 6, 2013 at 4:46 PM in Current Affairs
The following was drafted today and is being posted at http://consortiumnews.com. Signatories, so far, include the following patriots who stand under the umbrella of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity:

Thomas Drake, Senior Executive, NSA (former)

Philip Giraldi, CIA, Operations Officer (ret.)

Larry Johnson, CIA & State Department (ret.)

W. Patrick Lang, Senior Executive and Defense Intelligence Officer, DIA (ret.)

David MacMichael, National Intelligence Council (ret.)

Ray McGovern, former US Army infantry/intelligence officer & CIA analyst (ret.)

Todd Pierce, US Army Judge Advocate General (ret.)

Coleen Rowley, Division Council & Special Agent, FBI (ret.)

In February 2003 I failed to challenge aggressively the deceit pushed by the Bush Administration in persuading Americans to attack Iraq. I gave Bush the benefit of the doubt. I was wrong to do that and vowed never again. Obama and his team are following the same playbook and it is incumbent that they be stopped before American military personnel are put in harms way once again for no good reason.

September 6. 2013

MEMORANDUM FOR: The President

FROM: Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS)

SUBJECT: Is Syria a Trap?

Precedence: IMMEDIATE

We regret to inform you that some of our former co-workers are telling us, categorically, that contrary to the claims of your administration, the most reliable intelligence shows that Bashar al-Assad was NOT responsible for the chemical incident that killed and injured Syrian civilians on August 21, and that British intelligence officials also know this. In writing this brief report, we choose to assume that you have not been fully informed because your advisers decided to afford you the opportunity for what is commonly known as “plausible denial.”

We have been down this road before – with President George W. Bush, to whom we addressed our first VIPS memorandum immediately after Colin Powell’s Feb. 5, 2003 U.N. speech, in which he pedaled fraudulent “intelligence” to support attacking Iraq. Then, also, we chose to give President Bush the benefit of the doubt, thinking he was being misled – or, at the least, very poorly advised.

The fraudulent nature of Powell’s speech was a no-brainer. And so, that very afternoon we strongly urged your predecessor to “widen the discussion beyond … the circle of those advisers clearly bent on a war for which we see no compelling reason and from which we believe the unintended consequences are likely to be catastrophic.” [[[[[[[please embed this link.]]]]]]]

Obama and Kerry Are Lying About Syria
By Larry Johnson on September 5, 2013 at 1:03 PM in Current Affairs
Barack Obama and John Kerry are lying about what has happened in Syria.

Yes, I have a record of doing this. Friends on the inside of the CIA warned me back in May of 2003 that the intel on Iraq was cooked and the American people were being fed a lie. Unfortunately, I learned this too late and was unable aggressively to make the case before we launched the invasion. Here’s what I said back then, and I was right:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=UP-OnykKw6U

My friends in the CIA are still around and they are now warning me that both the United States and the United Kingdom know that Bashir Assad is not responsible for the incident on 21 August that killed and maimed Syrian civilians. While it is true that a chemical of some sort caused the fatalities and injuries, it was not the result of an attack by the Syrian Army using military quality chemical weapons from the Syrian arsenal. The CIA knows that this is the case yet, with John Brennan at the head of the Agency, is deliberately lying and misleading members of Congress, the media and the public.

As I noted in an earlier piece, this was a pre-planned effort by the rebels to create an incident that would bring the United States into the war.

It was prepared in collaboration with the Saudis and the Turks. The canisters containing the chemical agent were opened and people in the immediate vicinity were affected. Some died and some suffered physical injuries.

Important to note that no single Syrian military rocket capable of carrying a chemical agent has been recovered from the area. Not a single shred of physical evidence exists to support the claim that this was a result of a strike by a Syrian military unit with expertise in Chemical weapons. And, there still is no medical evidence backing up the specious claim by Kerry and Obama that this was sarin.

I personally call on President Putin and other leaders at the G-20 to hold Obama to account and to demand proof. Obama cannot supply it. He is lying. He is being aided in this deceit by David Cameron, the British Prime Minister. If the United States proceeds to carry out a military strike on Syria it will be committing the same kind of crime committed by Adolf Hitler in launching an unprovoked and unwarranted attack on Poland in 1939. The stakes are this high and the United States must be stopped from committing war crimes against the government and people of Syria.

So Apple Mini thinks Kerry will resign,for failing to get congress approval.
Apple would this ever happen in a democracy headed by Assad?

Only 25 Congressmen for the war, 222 against and 188 undecided.

Excellent reporting Matt! Thank you! I still remember one of my visits to Ma’lula in which we visited the monastery. I hope to wake one day and hear that the Assad regime and the extreme elements in the opposition are gone.

Hacked documents reveal Syria chemical attack was staged, sponsored by US

A hacker by the name of €Wagn3r claims to have hacked approximately 20 members of the Pentagon and some of their spouses. In their emails US Colonels utilize a high number of military acronyms which, when looked, up point to a conversation about intelligence budgets and how to fund operations. The correspondence indicates the US government was the most probable sponsor of the latest chemical attack in Syrian Ghouta.

“It is difficult to resist a president’s call to war. Nothing comes close to stirring the same passions, especially because they come wrapped in patriotism” – Geraldo Rivera

Not This Time. Not in Syria.

You don’t think much about the Military-Industrial Complex lobbying or the other special interest groups, and you discredit as naïve the misguided anti-war protestors. You think about the troops. You think about their families and your own, and protecting the homeland from terror.

Now the new boogeyman, the Enemy of All Decency is in Syria. The video of those Syrian children dead or dying because of a poison gas attack is hard to watch without retching. I’m the father of five and it makes my skin crawl.

But equally hard to watch is that other video of the Syrian rebels murdering Assad’s soldiers. The rebels executed them in cold blood after having tied their hands behind their backs and torturing them.

These are the people we will be helping if we attack Assad’s forces as President Obama wants. Many of them are or want-to-be Al Qaeda-affiliated. They hate us. They hate freedom. They hate Israel and they hate Syria’s own Christian minority. Many of the so-called Syrian rebels aren’t even Syrian. They are from Libya and Chechnya and I don’t want them in control of this country at the heart of the Mid-East and on the border with Israel. There is no such thing as a limited, surgical strike. Once we pick a side, it is our war.

I’m not going for it again Mr. President. Not this time. Not in Syria.

The pic of ” Hollande The Village Idiot” may not be fake after all :
(Reuters) – France will await conclusions by U.N. inspectors investigating last month’s chemical weapon attack in Syria before deciding on any action, President Francois Hollande said on Friday.

This is the answer to those who claimed that Jewish Americans are against a war on Syria:
“US Jewish leaders petition Congress to authorise Syria strike
Change.org petition evokes memories of Holocaust and urges leaders to act to deter future atrocities in ‘Syria and elsewhere'”
(The Guardian)

Syrians inside Syria urge Congress to back the strike.  Those against the strike want the butchery to continue for sectarian or corruption reasons.

Protesters in the northern Syrian town of Kafranbel have urged Congress to back air strikes against the Assad regime, in their latest Friday banner.

More Than 3-to-1 Against an Attack on Syria

Huge Momentum Building in U.S. House of Representatives Against Military Intervention in Syria

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – Enormous momentum has built against U.S. military intervention in Syria. Four national news organizations that are currently tracking vote counts have reported that members of the U.S. House of Representatives are overwhelmingly against authorizing a war in Syria:

From ABC News: “After this week’s full court press by the Obama administration, the president does not yet have the votes to authorize the military strike on Syria.”
199 Members Against Military Intervention [63 ‘No’, 136 ‘Lean No’]
Only 45 Members For Military Intervention [20 ‘Yes’, 25 ‘Lean Yes’]
From the Washington Post: “Already, scores of members of both parties have expressed skepticism about the administration’s cause for intervening in that country’s civil war, despite intelligence reports that say the Syrian regime used chemical weapons on its own people.”
178 Members Against Military Intervention [86 ‘No’, 92 ‘Lean No’]
Only 19 Members For Military Intervention
From Fire Dog Lake: “House leadership tried to create the illusion of “momentum” yesterday…Nonetheless, the number of representatives coming out in opposition to the vote continue to dramatically outstrip those in favor.”
144 Members Against Military Intervention [48 ‘No’, 96‘Lean No’]
Only 58 Members For Military Intervention [28 ‘Yes’, 30 ‘Lean Yes’]
From The Hill: “The White House faces a tough task in convincing a majority in the House and Senate to approve authorization for a military strike against Syria.”
89 Members Against Military Intervention [‘No’ and ‘Lean No’ reported together]
Only 28 Members For Military Intervention [‘Yes’ and ‘Lean Yes’ reported together]
“A huge, bi-partisan majority has recognized that a unilateral attack on Syria is not our responsibility, it won’t accomplish anything, it’s expensive, and it’s dangerous,” said Rep. Alan Grayson, a leader of opponents against military intervention.
Congressman Alan Grayson represents Florida’s 9th Congressional District, which includes Osceola County, as well as parts of Orange and Polk counties. He previously served as the U.S. Representative for Florida’s 8th Congressional District in the 111th Congress.

Is Samia Elias not one of Matt’s contact? 

Syrian opposition forces have withdrawn from Maaloula, the ancient Christian village they first entered on Wednesday, the BBC reports based on a Syrian National Coalition account:

“For months the rebels have been around Maaloula but there has been a sort of an understanding with the residents that they would not enter,” Samia Elias, a resident who stayed in Maaloula during the fighting, told the Reuters news agency.

“To be fair, they do not seem to have touched churches or homes.” […]

Overnight, the National Coalition issued a statement confirming that FSA units had withdrawn after destroying army posts at Maaloula.

The opposition alliance also stressed its “commitment to protect all Syrians, no matter what their religion, race, confession or political belief, and its constant concern to preserve Syria’s human and religious heritage by every means possible”.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/sep/06/syria-crisis-splits-g20-live#block-522a1304e4b0b4804819a33d

Holland said he will wait till he sees the result of UN inspectors
Obama will wait till the congress approves
It is two weeks since Assad killed 1400 Syrian, it looks we are going to wait at least one more week,may be two, so the strike is going to be the week after 9/17/13

Al-Qaeda Vows to Slaughter Christians After U.S. “Liberates” Syria

While U.S. leaders continue pushing for war against the Syrian government, today “Al-Qaeda-linked rebels,” reports AP, “launched an assault on a regime-held Christian mountain village in the densely populated west of Syria and new clashes erupted near the capital, Damascus, on Wednesday… In the attack on the village of Maaloula, rebels commandeered a mountaintop hotel and nearby caves and shelled the community below, said a nun, speaking by phone from a convent in the village. She spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.”

Arabic news agency Al Hadath gives more information concerning this latest terror attack on Syria’s Christians, specifically how the al-Qaeda linked rebels “terrorized the Christians, threatening to be avenged on them after the triumph of the revolution.”

Thus al-Qaeda terrorists eagerly await U.S. assistance against the Syrian government, so they can subjugate if not slaughter Syria’s Christians, secularists, and non-Muslims

Iran Plots Revenge, U.S. Says
By Julian E. Barnes | The Wall Street Journal –

WASHINGTON—The U.S. has intercepted an order from Iran to militants in Iraq to attack the U.S. Embassy and other American interests in Baghdad in the event of a strike on Syria, officials said, amid an expanding array of reprisal threats across the region.
Military officials have been trying to predict the range of possible responses from Syria, Iran and their allies. U.S. officials said they are on alert for Iran’s fleet of small, fast boats in the Persian Gulf, where American warships are positioned. U.S. officials also fear Hezbollah could attack the U.S. Embassy in Beirut.

While the U.S. has moved military resources in the region for a possible strike, it has other assets in the area that would be ready to respond to any reprisals by Syria, Iran or its allies.
Those deployments include a strike group of the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier and three destroyers in the Red Sea, and an amphibious ship, the USS San Antonio, in the Eastern Mediterranean, which would help with any evacuations.
The U.S. military has also readied Marines and other assets to aid evacuation of diplomatic compounds if needed, and the State Department began making preparations last week for potential retaliation against U.S. embassies and other interests in the Middle East and North Africa.

The Iranian message, intercepted in recent days, came from Qasem Soleimani, the head of Revolutionary Guards’ Qods Force, and went to Iranian-supported Shiite militia groups in Iraq, according to U.S. officials.

In it, Mr. Soleimani said Shiite groups must be prepared to respond with force after a U.S. strike on Syria. Iranian officials didn’t respond to requests for comment.

U.S. officials said the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad was one likely target. The officials didn’t describe the range of potential targets indicated by the intelligence.

Militants also have used suicide bombers and IEDs to attack Americans leaving the embassy compound, one of the largest American diplomatic facilities in the world, located in Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone.

That picture is from Homs that is being bombed relentlessly by chemical Assad

Syrian,

Thank you. So the loyalists are using a picture from a church in Homs bombarded by the regime and post it as a picture of a destroyed church in Maalola.

These people nauseate me. They are beyond disgusting. They are buying and selling the blood of the Christ to advance their cause. This is a real filth. You people have no shame!

The rebels are mostly moderate indeed.  As Mr. Kerry put it, I doubt that extremists constitute more than 10%.  A percentage we can easily deal with and neutralize in new Syria.  Can Aron Lund take a note?   

In a recently published report, ‘Syria’s military opposition: How effective, united or extremist?” the Washington Institute for Near East Policy paints, in broad terms, a vague picture of the “nature of rebel forces”:

The kaleidoscopic nature of the rebel forces makes generalizing about their quality and capabilities very difficult and puts a premium on detailed information about specific units … Some appear disciplined, well-armed, responsive to their commanders, and tactically competent. Others appear much less so, especially in terms of armament and tactical skill. The rebels come from all strata of Syrian society: wealthy and poor, urban and rural, secular and religious, tribal and urbanized, educated and uneducated, former military and civilian. Many units are local in origin, raised by local people for the defense of a town or village. Some are centered on defectors. Many are religious, though not necessarily radically religious, in orientation. While some Kurdish elements fight alongside them in Aleppo and some Kurds and, perhaps Christians, are in rebel formations, the rebels are overwhelmingly a Sunni Arab army. Rebel units are distributed across a broad ideological spectrum, with secular units at one pole and Salafi jihadists at the other, and most falling between the two. Over time the units have tended to become more Islamic, certainly in religious language, visual symbols, prayer, and general orientation. A major differentiation among Islamic units is between those that are Islamic with a national or Syrian agenda and those with a global jihadist mission.

Above summary from the Guardian

Hundreds of western peace activists, including from Britain and from the US, have volunteered to become “human shields” in government-held parts of Syria, the Daily Telegraph has learned.

Tara
When did they ever post anything but filth?both DonAna and Rev from long time ago. They used to take FSA You Tube videos of the regime atrocities and change the titles and put their name on it as an atrocities of the FSA

My friends in Damascus tell me that human shields from Western countries are arriving this weekend.

This is a small sample of how rebels treated Christians. That does not include father Paolo and the two kidnapped bishops:
(American Orthodox Institute)
Ancient Christian monasteries are being regularly plundered in Syria by anti-government forces. In May of this year, rebels attacked the 1500-year-old monastery of the Prophet Elijah near the city of Al-Qusayr. They stole the sacramental vessels, destroyed the altar and the baptismal font, blew up the bell tower, and knocked down the sacred statue of Elijah.
On June 23, a Syrian Catholic priest was murdered in a monastery in Gassanieh, Idlib. François Murad, 49, was a member of the Franciscans and lived a life of prayer at the monastery. Gunmen entered the monastery, plundered it, burned the building and executed Murad. Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the head of all Franciscans in the Holy Land, told the Vatican News Agency that “The world must know that the support of gunmen by the west is helping extremists in killing Syrians.”
On 27 May this year, the ‘Free Syrian Army’ raided the Christian-populated village of al-Duvair in Syria’s Western province of Homs. Arriving in the village they proceeded to massacre all its civilian residents, including women and children. The army of the Syrian government intervened to protect the Christians, but only after most of the population had been slaughtered.
On 11 June, a massacre was reported in the town of Hatlah, close to Deir el-Zour city. An organisation of armed militants converged on the town to ‘cleanse’ it. At least 60 people were slaughtered.
In other Christian villages, rebels have suddenly appeared and declared, “Flee or be killed.” With nowhere to go and little hope of finding employment, thousands of Christian families face little prospect of a hopeful future. Many have fled to refugee camps, though conditions there are little better since they make “soft targets” for criminals and Islamic thugs.

BROOKINGS INSTITUTION and SABIN CENTER = NEO CONS = Guess Who?

Obama employing think-tank plan to oust Assad?

Critics warn of war doctrine that threatens national sovereignty

Produced by the think tank’s Sabin Center in March 2012, “Middle East Memo #21,” titled “Saving Syria: Assessing Options for Regime Change,” proposed the United States should implement a policy aimed at destabilizing Syria with the explicitly stated goal of ousting the Assad regime.

http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/research/files/papers/2012/3/15%20syria%20saban/0315_syria_saban.pdf

The authors’ underlying justification for removing the Assad regime was that it was engaging in acts of violence against civilians that violated international standards of human rights.

The memo, however, made clear that the real gain to be achieved in toppling Assad was not the humanitarian protection of the Syrian population but the removal from the Middle East of “Iran’s oldest and most important ally in the Arab world.”

The critics see the plan as a pretext designed to cover the real goal of destabilizing Syria to depose the Assad regime. The plan would provide weapons to rebel groups, combined with U.S. air attacks and the possibility of a U.S.-backed, internationally configured military invasion with ground troops.

The memo cautioned, however, that actually ousting Assad “will not be easy.”

Even after acknowledging the Free Syrian Army, or FSA, “is more a brand than a meaningful, united force,” the Brookings Institution memo proceeded on the premise the FSA is the rebel force the Obama administration should champion.

The memo proposed six strategies the U.S. “should consider to achieve Asad’s overthrow”:

1. Removing the Assad regime via diplomacy;

2. Coercing the regime via sanctions and diplomatic isolation;

3. Arming the Syrian opposition to overthrow the regime;

4. Engaging in a Libya-like air campaign to help an opposition army gain victory;

5. Invading Syria with U.S.-led forces and toppling the regime directly; and

6. Participating in a multilateral, NATO-led effort to oust Assad and rebuild Syria.

The four authors of the report include three from the Sabin Center for Middle East Policy, Daniel Byman, the director of research, along with Michael Doran and Kenneth M. Pollack, both senior fellows.

His name is Ali, he is 4 years old. Unfortunately, he lost a leg due to the shelling of Assad regime.

Just imagine a 4 year old kid with an artificial limb trying to get accustomed to a new way of life, destroyed by Assad thugs.

This ugly war waged by a criminal against civilians necessitates an organised workshop to cater for the need of the wounded, or those who have lost a limb, especially children.

‘Syrian’ no one except the liars and collaborators on your side cares about your fake stories of children.

===

There is no room for any kind of bargaining, and there is no room for any discussion or debate. There is no room to listen to any collaborator touting the list of causes of war and the causers, and there is no room for those who cling to their opinions, positions, or labels, wearing bandanas on their foreheads after wearing blindfolds on their eyes, and joining forces with collaborators and takfiris.

To begin with, these people live on the crumbs thrown to them by the robbers of Arab resources and fortunes. They work for them and receive from them money and all kinds of support.

It is a duty for every capable person to fight these killers, wherever they may be, wherever there is a chance to take revenge against them, and punish all the traitors, one after the other, in their beds, behind their desks, inside their tanks, or in their palaces, whether they are alone, or among their families.

The fact that President Barack Obama has canceled his appearance at the AFL-CIO convention is no reason to ignore the challenge this new war poses

Open letter to the AFL-CIO leaders — Oppose war on Syria

Sept. 6 — At this critical moment, the number one priority for organized labor must be to publicly, unequivocally, and loudly oppose the president’s plans to attack Syria.

Understandably, the question of another war, this one against Syria, was likely not on the agenda of the AFL-CIO convention beginning this weekend in Los Angeles. Recent events, however, have changed everything and there’s no point in pretending that the situation is the same as before.

If the plans to attack Syria are denounced from the podium of the labor convention, this would mean that organized labor has risen to the challenge of becoming the militant, thoroughly progressive, independent movement of working people in the United States. Not to do it would reduce the leadership of the AFL-CIO to providing cover for the president’s war plans.

The fact that President Barack Obama has cancelled his appearance at the convention is no reason to ignore the challenge this new war poses.

The most important lesson from the last twelve years of war against Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya — and other countries where people have been bombed by U.S. drones — is not just that George W. Bush was an evil liar and a war criminal. Of course Bush was that and more. It is a humiliating miscarriage of justice that Bush, Rumsfeld and all of the other architects of endless war are not in jail or on trial for premeditated mass murder.

The most important lesson from the recent past, however, is that when U.S. presidents order the Pentagon to unleash its awesome killing machine, this is not done for humanitarian reasons. Another lesson is that the sole purpose of the demonization of Saddam Hussein or Bashar al-Assad is to herd the reluctant U.S. population into supporting a criminal war.

The real objectives of the Pentagon’s wars are always to secure the empire and terrorize all who would dare to challenge U.S. imperialism. It is for the strategic and economic gains of the U.S. super rich. And it is always the working people and all the poor who pay the most for the war and make the greatest sacrifices.

Again, this is the real goal of war plans against Syria.

President Obama, who was elected to end endless war, once again is betraying those who elected him.

At home and across the world, virtually everyone is against war on Syria.

Yeah Rev. Really funny
A guy from Chicago putting a Lebanese news paper editorial about Syria. Threatening and barking.
Go get a life.

Women speak out against U.S. intervention in Syria

The U.S. Senate’s recent approval of a punitive missile strike on Syria constitutes a direct act of aggression masquerading as humanitarian action. Despite widespread opposition from the international community and lack of authorization from the United Nations, the U.S. remains hell-bent on attacking Syria, even as reports show that Syrian rebels funded by the Saudi government — a close U.S. ally — were the ones responsible for the March 19 simultaneous chemical assaults in Aleppo and Ataybah, which left approximately 26 people including 16 Syrian soldiers dead, with 86 more seriously injured.

Indeed, the Obama administration’s obstinacy in waging war on Syria is reminiscent of Iraq, where the supposed existence of weapons of mass destruction was used to justify gross violations of national sovereignty and the people’s right to self-determination. Contrary to their claims of protecting civilians and upholding democracy, history has unveiled the devastating consequences of U.S. military aggression, including rampant human rights violations such as rape, torture, detention and murder of innocent civilians.

As thousands of Syrians continue to flee the capital in fear of foreign military airstrikes, the real motive of the U.S. becomes clearer — to advance its own geopolitical and economic agenda in the region, particularly to gain control of the country’s massive oil reserves. Syria has one of the biggest conventional reserves of crude oil in the eastern Mediterranean, and exploration opportunities have largely been limited to Russia, making it especially vital to U.S. interests.

U.S., keep your hands off Syria!

Women, girls and children remain as the most vulnerable sectors in times of conflict and this most recent act of aggression by the U.S. will undoubtedly cause untold suffering for thousands of Syrian women, girls and children who will be displaced, harassed, violated, deprived of basic necessities, injured or even killed as they are caught in the crossfire.

The rootless entity presently known as “Don” seems to think this photo on Facebook represents a Maloula church damaged by rebel bandits. It is not. The same picture has been appearing in Kremlin-run media since at least May of this year.

I know that the war party will swallow anything and invent anything that supports exaggerated charges against the darker-complected Other, but I advise using image-comparison software to test claims using images. I recommend the tools at TinEye.com to find the first appearance of this image: http://www.tineye.com/search/ceade0f7de160a1960d527f3fe78c65251d287aa/?sort=crawl_date&order=asc**

It is instructive how many here have become ardent experts in American politics, electoral psychology and law. Some are inside Obama’s mind as well as the future. Yet they fail to assemble a coherent narrative, again. By loading on the unnecessary BS, they undercut their larger project. If the war party is winning, if the demi-god Assad is going to be on the throne till doomsday, if the rats and heart-eating nusra monsters will all be vanquished, what’s with the pot beating and hysteria? What’s with the war-lust? Assad seems relatively stable and confident, at least in his TV appearances. Why not the regimists here? There is nothing to fear.

It is not so amazing how many crank websites and war-gossip blogs are currently cited by the hooded ones. In an attempt to support the claims about false-flag Alawi-kid kidnap chemotherapy performed by the rebel side, anything goes except credible analysis.

** regarding the Facebook photo illustrating a presumed destruction of churches in Maloula, did Assadforever acolytes not ask themselves why over two millennia the christians of Maloula had not moved beyond plain plastered breezeblocks and lawn chairs and paint by numbers Virgin portrait? For all that they would have us believe they are sons of Syria, how could they be so easily gulled by this photo?

Fake Syrian you have no idea where I am or who I am.

You can dismiss the Lebanese editorial. I don’t care.

I believe the Resistance will carry out their promises.

This is getting more interesting by the minute:

BEIRUT — Rebel Islamist groups are expressing opposition to U.S. strikes against the Syrian regime, putting them at odds with the leadership of the mainstream Free Syrian Army and underscoring the deep rifts within Syria’s opposition that threaten to complicate future efforts to end to the war.
The leading hard-line Islamist group in northern Syria issued a statement on its Facebook page cautioning its followers against supporting U.S. intervention, saying it would only serve American interests and not the cause of those seeking to topple President Bashar al-Assad.
The Syrian Islamic Front, which is dominated by the Salafist Ahrar al-Sham group, stopped short of directly opposing American intervention in Syria’s 21 / 2-year-old conflict, which many in the opposition hope would accelerate the fall of Assad’s regime. But, the group warned on its Facebook page, the true goal of U.S. attacks would be to “advance the interests of the perpetrators.”
Another gathering of smaller Islamist groups issued a video condemning outright the threatened strikes, which the Obama administration has said are needed to deter further use of chemical weapons after hundreds of people were killed in the suburbs of Damascus in a poison gas attack widely blamed on government forces.
“We reject Western military intervention in Syria and consider it a new aggression against Muslims,” said a group of fighters who identified themselves as representatives of eight “jihadi brigades,” according to a video posted on YouTube.

how racist indeed to tout the democratic travails in the West and denying it to common Syrians back home.

how racist indeed for outrage to come forward when it involves minorities and callous disregard when it involves the common Syrian back home.

how about the news that HA and Iran and Syria have established a joint command structure and that Iran is prepared to use its strategic missile forces and that Syria is aiming to target Turkey Jordan and Israel and that intercepted communications show the Iranians ordering attacks on US installations in Iraq.

I am rooting for a response by the axis of resistance and I rooting for a big regional war and I am rooting for missiles to rain on Israeli cities and Turkish airbases and Cypriot airbases and for Putin to join in and send his Sptenatz to boot.

I pray and hope that they finally put their money where their mouth is. I also hope the Congress votes down intervention for this will mean arming the rebels and allowing weapons to reach them and they can finish the job.

Please though for those cheering democracy in action in the West why don’t we ask the Iranian people whether they are for intervention in Syria? Or ask the Lebanese whether HA should be able to send fighters to Syria? How about asking the Syrian people what type of government they want?

News are that the Maliki proposal to get the stooge leave is a non starter.

I hope and pray that the regime responds against Israel if attacked.

Break the stupid place up. Read this post, all of sudden there is a whole post about Maloola and not a single post about many areas devastated by the regime.

I see the ME explode and implode and continue to be ruled by none other than barbaric regimes from Sissi to Abdullah to iPad Ray Ban to Saddam to Maliki and to the Algerian junta and the families with flags in the UAE and Qatar and the stooge in Oman and the Sudanese buffoon.

Is the circus in town?

Pope Francis takes on Obama

Head of Syrian Catholics says U.S. strike would be ‘criminal’

NEW YORK – Pope Francis and the head of the Catholic Church in Syria have decided to take on President Obama, with both issuing direct appeals for the United States not to launch a military strike on Syria.

To thousands of the faithful assembled below, he said: “My heart is deeply wounded by what is happening in Syria and anguished by the dramatic developments” on the horizon, an apparent reference to the reports that the U.S. and France were considering a military strike to punish the Syrian regime for a chemical weapons attack.

Francis was joined by Gregory III, the head of the Greek Catholic Church, who said the U.S. launching a military strike on Syria would constitute “a criminal act” that would “reap more victims” as Islamic jihadists continue to flow into Syria.

Gregory III, the patriarch of Antioch, who oversees the Melkite Greek Catholic Church in Syria and Lebanon, said:

We must listen to the pope’s appeal for peace in Syria. If Western countries want to create true democracy then they must build it on reconciliation, through dialogue between Christians and Muslims, not with weapons. This attack being planned by the United States is a criminal act, which will only reap more victims, in addition to the tens of thousands of these two years of war. This will destroy the Arab world’s trust in the West.

What or who have led Syria to this thin red line, this point of no return? Who created this hell in which our people have been living for months? Every day, Islamic extremists from all over the world are pouring into Syria with the sole intent to kill and not one country has done anything to stop them; even the U.S. has decided to send in more weapons. We renew our rejection of any foreign military intervention in the Syrian crisis.

Following Francis’ lead, Cardinal Dolan of New York and leaders of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, or USCCB, wrote to every member of Congress on Thursday, urging them to vote against military intervention in Syria, Time magazine reported.

The Catholic bishops stressed their longstanding position that the Syrian people need a political solution.

“We ask the United States to work urgently and tirelessly with other governments to obtain a cease-fire, initiate serious negotiations, provide impartial humanitarian assistance, and encourage efforts to build an inclusive society in Syria that protects the rights of all its citizens, including Christians and other minorities,” the bishops wrote.

A friend asked me to repost this:

There is proof the footage of the alleged chemical attack in Syria was fabricated, Mother Agnes Mariam el-Salib, mother superior of St. James Monastery in Qara, Syria, told RT. She says she is about to submit her findings to the UN.
Mother Agnes, a catholic nun, who has been living in Syria for 20 years and has been reporting actively on what has been going on in the war-ravaged country, says she carefully studied the video featuring allegedly victims of the chemical weapons attack in the Syrian village of Guta in August and now questions its authenticity. 
In her interview with RT, Mother Agnes doubts so much footage could have been taken in so little time, and asks where parents of the supposedly dead children are. She promises to send her report to the UN. 
The nun is indignant with the world media for apparently turning a blind eye to the Latakia massacre by rebel extremists, which left 500 civilians including women and children dead.
( I hope the report that Obama called Putin a ” jackass” at a joint press conference is just bad humor and not true)

World Leaders refuse to back Obama on Syria

US president faces uphill battle to secure congressional approval for intervention

Russian president Vladimir Putin, Mr Obama’s host at the St Petersburg summit, said that a majority of political leaders opposed military strikes against Syria without the approval of the United Nations.

French president François Hollande, who has strongly supported joining the US in military strikes against Assad, put further pressure on Mr Obama, stepping back from immediate action.

99% of Calls to Congress Are AGAINST War in Syria

On the heels of Reuters poll showing only 9% support military action.

Millions of Americans are completely overloading the phone lines of Congress in a historical, unprecedented response to shut down the Obama war machine.

This comes in the wake of the recent Reuters poll that found only 9% of respondents back Obama in his quest for a military strike on Syria.

Here’s a sample run-down of statements made by House and Senate members showcasing the almost unanimous opposition from their constituents for a war in Syria:

Austin Texas Protest Syrian War Lies

The leaders of the Syrian Christian churches are not doing their communities any favors by standing with the regime and spreading lies about the FSA fighters,
Now if Obama donot go through with the strike, a lot of the moderate fighters will lose hope of any help from the west and they will join radical groups,they will hold them accountable later they will not hold their fire at Christians neighborhood any more nor will they leave Ma’oloula intact the next time they go through town,
All false reporting so far about attacks and destructions will become a self fulfilling prophecy.

Syria War Opposition Goes Viral: Americans Expose Graham’s “S.C. Nuke Threat” As War Mongering

In yet another example of the emerging power of alternative media, Americans are openly rejecting Sen. Lindsey Graham’s “us vs. them” rhetoric that if the U.S. doesn’t attack Syria, terrorists could nuke South Carolina.

In an article by CBS Charlotte, Graham said that if the U.S. doesn’t proceed with military action against the Russian-backed Assad regime, Iran will not take “America’s resolve” to stop their nuclear weapons program seriously.

As a result, Graham said, terrorists could easily detonate a nuclear device in Charleston Harbor.

Just so you may know and not get confused by known fabricators and cheap propagandists, our most knowledgeable and highly reliable sources decided to release this very important heads up and put you in the picture of what really went on in St. Petersburg.

Yes, Mr. Obama called Putin a jackass straight to the face and also jabbed a finger towards him, while Putin was stone-faced all the time during the ten minute dressing down he received from Mr. Obama.

“Everyone here thinks you are a jackass”. Obama said to Putin while the press corps was listening and recording every word and taking pictures.

“Look, I’m not just talking about Snowden and Syria,” Mr. Obama said. “What about Pussy Riot? What about your anti-gay laws? Total jackass moves, my friend.”

“If you think I’m the only one who feels this way, you’re kidding yourself,” Mr. Obama said, jabbing his finger in the direction of the Russian President’s face. “Ask Angela Merkel. Ask David Cameron. Ask the Turkish guy. Every last one of them thinks you’re a dick.”

Mr. Putin would only admit that he is a real bear afterwards. He released a terse official statement, reading, “I should be afraid of this skinny man? I wrestle bears.”

May be everyone should go home. All the G20 members agreed on the last statement, as an official closing statement, just one day after the meeting.

Looks like no one enjoyed Russian hospitality!

Rodney Alexander opposes action against Syria

One of 5th District U.S. Rep. Rodney Alexander’s final votes in Congress will be against using U.S. military force against Syria, he told The News-Star.

“I hate what’s going on over there and what’s happening to the Syrian people, but I’m not convinced it’s a national threat to us,” Alexander said. “We’ve found ourselves in trouble in the past when we’ve become involved in other countries’ conflicts.

“I think we need to be very cautious before we begin meddling in other people’s business.”

G20 ENDS ABRUPTLY AS OBAMA CALLS PUTIN A JACKASS
http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/borowitzreport/2013/09/g20-ends-abruptly-as-obama-calls-putin-a-jackass.html

In the real world the SAA bagged 467 terrorists today. No prisoners were taken. The SAA is saving space in Syrian prisons for special guests once the war starts.

The Era of Disbelief

This is a particularly bad time to sell the American people a war, and make no mistake: we are being sold, and this “military action,” in another time and place — and in some quarters, here and now — would be called an act of war.

Americans are not only weary of war, they’re weary of the politicians who commit us to it.

According to Gallup, only 10 percent of Americans now have a “great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in Congress, a record low since Gallup started tracking the measure in 1973.

Only 36 percent have the same level of confidence in the presidency.

Furthermore, the degree to which Americans trust the government in Washington to do the right thing at least most of the time has tanked since peaking in the jingoistic, post-9/11, post-traumatic-stress era.

People are questioning everything — as they should. Are we absolutely sure of the evidence? Are there no options other than military options? Can we be guaranteed that we won’t face retaliation and that we won’t be drawn into a protracted engagement? Will bombing ease the refugee crisis or exacerbate it? Is this really about sending a message to Syria about its use of chemical weapons, or is Syria just a proxy, a small state on which we can make a big statement, a way for us to send a signal to others that our word is absolute? Is this an act of humanitarianism or militarism?

And what do we hope to accomplish? The president has said that he’s not interested in regime change with this action, and many fear that deposing Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad, at this moment could cause more problems than it would solve. We are wary of terrorist elements within the opposition who would love to get their hands on Syria’s weapons. In this community of thought, the Syrian civil war is a war among demons with few angels.

Rev.
Same as chemical Bashar did at the start. When it was only popular demonstrations. He said if it they want war I welcome it, that was a self fulfilling prophecy that came to pass.
Now all the lies about the destructions and attacks, like the fake photo donAnn posted among many other lies.Will also might very well come to pass

Dear Christians ,
You have nothing to fear, what you read below is fabrications.
Sincerely,
Islamist thugs

DALGA, Egypt –  The Coptic Orthodox priest would only talk to his visitor after hiding from the watchful eyes of the bearded Muslim outside, who sported a pistol bulging from under his robe.
So Father Yoannis moved behind a wall in the charred skeleton of an ancient monastery to describe how it was torched by Islamists and then looted when they took over this southern Egyptian town following the ouster of the country’s president.
“The fire in the monastery burned intermittently for three days. The looting continued for a week. At the end, not a wire or an electric switch is left,” Yoannis told The Associated Press. The monastery’s 1,600-year-old underground chapel was stripped of ancient icons and the ground was dug up on the belief that a treasure was buried there.
“Even the remains of ancient and revered saints were disturbed and thrown around,” he said.
A town of some 120,000 — including 20,000 Christians — Dalga has been outside government control since hard-line supporters of the Islamist Mohammed Morsi drove out police and occupied their station on July 3, the day Egypt’s military chief removed the president in a popularly supported coup. It was part of a wave of attacks in the southern Minya province that targeted Christians, their homes and businesses.
Since then, the radicals have imposed their grip on Dalga, twice driving off attempts by the army to send in armored personnel carriers by showering them with gunfire.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz plans to vote ‘no’ on Syria attacks

SALT LAKE CITY — Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, warned Friday that the United States launching missile strikes against Syria means going to war against the Middle Eastern country.

“That’s what it is. Don’t think that we’re just going to lob some Tomahawk missiles in there and call it a day and say, ‘Hey, we did our part.’ I don’t think it ends with that,” the congressman said.

“At this point, my constituents don’t want to see us go to war in Syria, and neither do I,” the 3rd District representative said. Of the 1,000 telephone calls and emails his office has received about Syria, only three were in favor of the strikes, Chaffetz said.

Chaffetz said he will listen to the case the president makes and continue to review intelligence reports on the situation, but he doesn’t expect to see “a clear and present danger” to the United States.

BREAKING NEWS

Syria resolution likely to fail, Lindsey Graham says

GREENVILLE, S.C. — South Carolina’s senior senator continued to argue for U.S. military intervention in Syria in a speech to 300 Chamber of Commerce members here while acknowledging his position is unpopular with voters.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., also said Congress is not likely to authorize a strike, predicting a close vote in the Senate where the resolution is likely to come up next week and a larger margin in the House where the timing is less certain.

Graham, whose three opponents in next year’s Republican primary are all on record against U.S. action, said he understands Americans are war weary and reluctant to battle again in the Middle East.

“A friend asked me to repost this”

Translation: I hate to admit I believe this myself.

Let us review what the opposition have said about growing number and influence of the radical Islamists.

They always accuse the regime being the cause. Even gave us the conspiracy that the regime hired those extremists.

Reluctance of the west to provide direct military supports and intervention are also used to attribute to the aggravated extremism problem.

Then Kerry said during senator hearing the rebels are getting more moderate now. It is time to help them more.

Now we have a speaker for the rebels here threatening that the rebels will be feeling very devasted if US does not intervene and the rebels can only get more radical. We even get a veiled threat against Syrian Christians.

You gotta admire those shameless backward thugs.

Thanks to the latest NYtimes article about the brutality among the so-called moderate rebels. Millions of Americans watched the chilling and graphic video. This is golden time to expose the true face of the rebels since so many Americans are showing interest about Syria conflict and they want to know more what exactly those rebels are.

Kerry Fails to Sway European Skeptics on Urgency of Syria Strike

Secretary of State John Kerry failed to sway his European counterparts on the urgency of a U.S.-led military strike to halt the use of chemical weapons in Syria’s 2 1/2-year civil war.

France, the principal U.S. ally in a possible assault, signed on to a European Union declaration to put off an armed response until the United Nations delivers a report on last month’s use of chemical agents in a massacre near Damascus.

“The EU underscores at the same time the need to move forward with addressing the Syrian crisis through the UN process,” the 28-nation bloc’s foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton told reporters after EU foreign ministers met Kerry in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Europe urges U.S. to hold off Syria military strike
http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2013/09/07/syria-military-strike-europe-urge-us-hold-off.html

While Europe, obviously unconvinced of the identity of the chemical attack perpetrators, wants to wait for the official UN report before taking any ‘strong action’, the USA administration, under heavy pressure by the Israeli and Saudi lobbies is in a hurry. It probably fears that the momentum may fall or more doubts will emerge that would contradict the running propaganda and derail the process.
One wonders why curiously Europe does not seem worried about another imminent chemical weapons attack predicted by the opposition.

Kerry Fails to Sway European Skeptics on Urgency of Syria Strike

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-09-07/kerry-fails-to-sway-european-skeptics-on-urgency-of-syria-strike.html

Secretary of State John Kerry failed to sway his European counterparts on the urgency of a U.S.-led military strike to halt the use of chemical weapons in Syria’s 2 1/2-year civil war.

France, the principal U.S. ally in a possible assault, signed on to a European Union declaration to put off an armed response until the United Nations delivers a report on last month’s use of chemical agents in a massacre near Damascus.

“The EU underscores at the same time the need to move forward with addressing the Syrian crisis through the UN process,” the 28-nation bloc’s foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton told reporters after EU foreign ministers met Kerry in Vilnius, Lithuania.

U.S. setbacks in securing international backing for targeted strikes on Syria’s war-making capability were matched by President Barack Obama’s trouble at home in persuading Congress to authorize an American intervention.

There is not yet proofs beyond any doubts on the perpetrators identity and the chain of command of the chemical attack.

http://www.panarmenian.net/eng/news/169705/

The European Union’s foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said on Saturday, Sept 7, the EU’s 28 nations agreed that available information seemed to show strong evidence that the Syrian government perpetrated a chemical attack in August, Reuters reported.

Ashton was speaking at the end of a meeting of EU foreign ministers in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius, where they discussed the situation in Syria and Europe’s response.

Meanwhile, with the United States threatening to attack Syria, U.S. and allied intelligence services are still trying to work out who ordered the poison gas attack on rebel-held neighborhoods near Damascus.

No direct link to President Bashar al-Assad or his inner circle has been publicly demonstrated, and some U.S. sources say intelligence experts are not sure whether the Syrian leader knew of the attack before it was launched or was only informed about it afterward.

While U.S. officials say Assad is responsible for the chemical weapons strike even if he did not directly order it, they have not been able to fully describe a chain of command for the August 21 attack in the Ghouta area east of the Syrian capital.

It is one of the biggest gaps in U.S. understanding of the incident, even as Congress debates whether to launch limited strikes on Assad’s forces in retaliation.

After wrongly claiming that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction before the 2003 U.S. invasion, the U.S. intelligence community, along with the Obama administration, are trying to build as solid a case as they can about what it says was a sarin nerve gas attack that killed over 1,400 people.

One possible link between the gas attack and Assad’s inner circle is the Syrian government body that is responsible for producing chemical weapons, U.S. and allied security sources say, according to Reuters.

Personnel associated with the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Council (SSRC), which has direct ties to Assad’s entourage, were likely involved in preparing munitions in the days before the attack, they say. Much of the U.S. claim that Assad is responsible was initially based on reports from witnesses, non-governmental groups and hours of YouTube videos.

U.S. officials have not presented any evidence to the public of scientific samples or intelligence information proving that sarin gas was used or that the Syrian government used it.

The United States has also not named any Syrian commanders it thinks gave the green light to fire gas-laden rockets into Ghouta.

Maaloula still under fire.
Didn’t the SNC said that the fighters have withdrawn?

http://newsok.com/syrian-regime-shelling-near-damascus-kills-16/article/feed/587927

…
The group also reported heavy fighting between rebels and troops loyal to President Bashar Assad around the Christian village of Maaloula. The rebel advance into the area that began on Monday was reportedly spearheaded by al-Qaida-linked fighters, exacerbating fears among Syrians and religious minorities in particular that Islamic extremists are playing an increasingly important role in the rebellion.

Fighters from the Western-backed Free Syrian Army have also participated in battles around Maaloula, destroying two government checkpoints near the town earlier this week, according to a statement by the main opposition coalition on Friday.

Someone told me that the FSA is beheading Christians Ma’loula.

We’r only after the apple… but we ain’t William

Just so you may know, a very important heads up was made available to us by our most knowledgeable and highly reliable sources. We make it available for release based on their request.

Secretary John Kerry succeeded in bringing Germany on board while meeting with EU ministers in Vilinius, Lithuania. German foreign minister, Guido Westrewelle, announced his government’s support for strong and decisive response from the international community against Criminal Pervert.

Twelve European countries are now in full support of decisive strikes against the regime of Crimes Unlimited.

Considering the Turkish and Arab partners of the coalition, It looks like that the key states on this planet are all in agreement on the need to take action. Rogue nations are rogue by definition. Just so you may know.

Majed you never provided me any PROOF that U.S. generals supported a war with Syria. I will provide you some PROOF they don’t.

Majed I am sure the U.S. military would have you arrested on terrorism charges if they were in charge instead of Al-Qaeda ally Obama.

U.S. military planners don’t support war with Syria
A war the Pentagon doesn’t want

The tapes tell the tale. Go back and look at images of our nation’s most senior soldier, Gen. Martin Dempsey, and his body language during Tuesday’s Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings on Syria. It’s pretty obvious that Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, doesn’t want this war. As Secretary of State John Kerry’s thundering voice and arm-waving redounded in rage against Bashar al-Assad’s atrocities, Dempseywas largely (and respectfully) silent.

Dempsey’s unspoken words reflect the opinions of most serving military leaders. By no means do I profess to speak on behalf of all of our men and women in uniform. But I can justifiably share the sentiments of those inside the Pentagon and elsewhere who write the plans and develop strategies for fighting our wars. After personal exchanges with dozens of active and retired soldiers in recent days, I feel confident that what follows represents the overwhelming opinion of serving professionals who have been intimate witnesses to the unfolding events that will lead the United States into its next war.

They are embarrassed to be associated with the amateurism of the Obama administration’s attempts to craft a plan that makes strategic sense. None of the White House staff has any experience in war or understands it. So far, at least, this path to war violates every principle of war, including the element of surprise, achieving mass and having a clearly defined and obtainable objective.

troll is nothing but a bag of gas

Umm…

“Just over half of the G20 states signed up to a statement calling for a ‘strong’ response to last month’s alleged chemical attack,” Agence France-Presse reports. “France, the only EU nation to have offered to take part in an attack, was one of four European states — with Britain, Italy and Spain — among the 11 nations that signed the statement.”

That group did not include Germany. But the nation did join in the European Union’s blaming of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad Saturday, the AP reports.

Congressional Black Caucus instructed to hold tongue on Syria

WASHINGTON — As an increasing number of African-American lawmakers voice dissent over the Obama administration’s war plans in Syria, the chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus has asked members to “limit public comment” on the issue until they are briefed by senior administration officials.

A congressional aide to a caucus member called the request “eyebrow-raising,” in an interview with FP, and said the request was designed to quiet dissent while shoring up support for President Barack Obama’s Syria strategy.

why you should believe zouzou, DONANN, and the troll

The world stands with Syria. No one can call millions of Americans, Europeans, Ibero-Americans, Africans and Asians Assad regime agents.

If this is really about freedom and the voice of the people why doesn’t Obama listen to his people? The overwhelming majority of Americans are against this war.

Congressmen tell us the calls are 100 to 1 against it.

I understand the weak Obama regime wants to put off the vote to try to get more support. What is the coward waiting for? Is he afraid?

Assad has more support in America than Obama does. That is just a simple fact.

Revenir , Now, is blatant in his lies and joined by Zoo,

Revenir

Generals do not like war at all. You’re totally insane. You’re a terrorist backer.

The nytimes issues correction on Syrian rebel story
http://thecable.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/09/06/new_york_times_issues_correction_on_syrian_rebel_story
“But the Syrian Support Group, a Washington-based advocate for more aggressive U.S. intervention in Syria, said Issa and his group, Jund al-Sham, has no connection to the Supreme Military Council and never did, in a statement to The Cable:”

“Sometime after the SSG issued this statement to The Cable, the Times posted a correction to its article noting that the execution video was not from this year. In fact, it was “made in the spring of 2012,” according to a correction at the bottom of the article. In a statement to The Cable, the SSG’s media director Dan Layman said the correction further vindicated the group’s point. “The Times just corrected their article to show the time stamp on the video was the spring of 2012. Before the SMC even existed,” said Layman.”

“In any event, Layman and other members of the opposition lobby say presenting the year-old video in the middle of the Congressoinal debate over authorizing war was tendentious. “It really suggests how they’re willing to sacrifice truth for their own anti-war sentiments,” he said, referring to the newspaper.”

If yo watched the minutes of senate committee you will find it,

Revenir can you show me a quote where any active general said he is against the strike? if you show where Dempsey said he is against the strike, please show it.
There is nothing to support your lie, have shame, if you have any

You’re out of your mind Majed.

Dempsey has long warned of going to war with Syria:

Everyone’s laughing at you Majed. You’re a fool.

General Dempsey Again Warns on Syria War

General Martin Dempsey is at it again. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is traveling in the Middle East, seemingly making it clear that he doesn’t want any part of the war in Syria. As I reported a while back, in a letter to members of Congress Dempsey had earlier warned that all of the options open to the United States in the Syrian civil war are bad ones. At that time, Dempsey drew fire from hawks and from advocates who want more and stronger direct US involvement in the Syrian war.

Now, it appears that both Dempsey and the Obama administration are concerned about the Syrian war spreading into Jordan. In the past, the United States has used Jordan as a launching pad for CIA-trained rebels fighting the government of President Bashar al-Assad. But the rebellion in Syria is boomeranging, or “blowing back,” as these things usually do.

Following reports that Syrian rebels, especially the radical Islamists, are trying to spread the conflict into Jordan—particularly ironic, since Jordan is funneling weapons to the anti-Assad fighters—The New York Times reports that Dempsey is concerned over the threat to Jordan:

Syria has accused Jordan of acting as a transit point for weapons supplied to Syrian rebels, an accusation Jordan has denied. In recent days, the Jordanian authorities have detained suspected smugglers, including Syrians, accused of attempting to bring antitank missiles, surface-to-air missiles, assault rifles and other arms from Syria into Jordan—possibly part of an attempt by jihadists in Syria to foment unrest in Jordan as well.

Dempsey, whose earlier letter was released by Senator Carl Levin’s office, was outspoken during his trip to Israel and Jordan. Said Dempsey:

“I am very concerned about the radical element of the opposition, and I am concerned about the potential that extremist ideologies will hijack what started out to be a popular movement to overthrow an oppressive regime.…

“The issues that are fueling the conflict in Syria will not be resolved in the short term, even if the Assad regime were to fail tomorrow,” he said. “This is a regional conflict that stretches from Beirut to Damascus to Baghdad.”[…] “It is the unleashing of historic ethnic, religious and tribal animosities that will take a great deal of work and a great deal of time to resolve.”

http://www.thenation.com/blog/175729/general-dempsey-again-warns-syria-war#axzz2eDWhlaTv

I can do this all day Majed. I just might too.

You won’t find a single news story anywhere on the planet where Dempsey says he is for war on Syria.

No place.

What a clown.

You see Majed I know what I am talking about when it comes to politics and war. I don’t talk out of my a$$ like you do.

You’re just a terrorist.

And to the author of this latest topic, do you really think the real FSA did invade this town!! Those are the regime men dude …… Think!

The opposition is spreading a flurry of rumors and false news to force Obama’s hand
Syrian rebels attempt to force Obama info ousting Assad
September 7, 2013 – 19:06 AMT
http://www.panarmenian.net/eng/news/169707/

PanARMENIAN.Net – Syrian rebels seem to have become wearied of waiting for Assad forces to be bombed and decided to use a well-proved “weapon” – accusation of using chemical agents.

According to some sources of the so-called Syrian opposition, the Assad forces used poisonous shells while attacking rebel positions in Damascus suburb of Al Kabune. To prove their claim, the rebels cite a video featuring a person being examined by doctors after having been poisoned by some agent. No official response followed the statement. Earlier, Al Arabiya TV channel reported the deaths of 56 over the past day, which, however, were unconnected to the use of chemical weapon.

Looks like Syrian rebels will stop at noting in forcing Obama to oust Assad, although the U.S. is planning no such step. As Obama repeatedly stated, the strike aims at punishing, rather that ousting Assad. However, the militants, unsatisfied with such an outcome, continue spreading deliberately false reports, in full knowledge that the media will be thriving on another report of “murdering of peaceful population.” No one seems to care about the fact that the militants have more than enough blood on their hands – Assad is the only “source of evil” in the world and he needs to be punished.

Unfortunately, logic does not seem to be either the rebels, or the U.S. president’s forte. Why poison one’s people with gas when government forces are gaining ground against rebels? And it’s utterly unclear why Obama chose this method to make Iran and South Korea (which the U.S. believes to be guilty of developing their own nuke programs) “see reason.”

Somehow, Pakistan and Israel are allowed to have nuclear weapons, yet the countries of “evil” are not. And what further defies understanding is that the Christians, whose fellow believers are being killed and tortured, are the ones to write about Assad’s “atrocities.” However, the misfortunes of the Near East Christians remain unheeded these days, with rare articles being published. In September, only one serious article was released in The American Conservative.

“So here is the nightmare. If the U.S., France, and some miscellaneous allies strike at the regime, they could conceivably so weaken it that it would collapse. Out of the ruins would emerge a radically anti-Western regime, which would kill or expel several million Christians and Alawites. This would be a political, religious, and humanitarian catastrophe unparalleled since the Armenian genocide almost exactly a century ago,” Philip Jenkins said in his article Syria’s Christians Risk Eradication.

“Around the world, scholars and intellectual leaders are debating how to commemorate the approaching centennial of that cataclysm in 2015. Through its utter lack of historical awareness, the United States government may be pushing towards not a commemoration of the genocide but a faithful re-enactment,” the author said.

In his weekly address to the nation, Obama reiterated that the Syria strike aims to protect the U.S. interests in preventing Syria crisis from turning into another Iraq or Afghanistan. Yet every one of the U.S. President’s steps is proving the opposite.

That is a LIE.

“Twelve European countries are now in full support of decisive strikes against the regime of Crimes Unlimited.”

11 countries support a “strong response”. 9 disagree.
All calls for a political solution.

NO country in the world except France and Turkey officially support military strikes.

“France is the only foreign nation yet to support military action against Syria in response to Syria’s alleged use of chemical weapons against its own citizens.”

That is a real evolution, back in 2003 Saddams useful idiots rounded up around hospitals and schools, cant wait to see Syrian state tv show us human shields around the state tv building, at bait ul shaab and Maze military airport. I get bored by the left wing pacifists who board planes once a new dictator faces his fate.

Jürgen were those people who with their own body tried to block the war against the state of Iraq (not Saddam) useful idiots or were those useful idiots who in UN told wild stories of moving chemical weapon factories, nukes, forced “dossiers” how Saddam in 45 minutes can send WMD missiles to Europe, who told how Al Qaida is commanded and trained by Saddam, who told stories of yellow cake etc?

The lies these useful militant idiots told to the world did cost USA over 5000 lives, trillions of dollars and in the end a political humiliation when they were kicked out. For Iraqis did the lies of US and Britain mean hundreds of thousands killed, millions displaced, a politically dysfunctional ruling system, oil income vanishing heaven knows where, robbed museums and historical sites, polluted enviroment with DU etc. The ironical thing is that Iraqis had a better functioning electrical network, social security and general security during Saddam’s time. Few Iraqis miss Americans, many surprisingly “the old days”.

Surely people, who are ready to try to stop the real possibility of a large regional war which could in worst form cost millions of lives and ruin the world economy, by offering to be as human shields are no idiots. Idiots are those who try with a strait face to convince, that the planed US acts are no acts of war, they are “international” punishments “authorized” by the (nonexistent) international community against those they think are guilty (and the “main proof” are those numerous YouTube videos and twitter feeds of those like Find A Way (former Kill Assad, known in SC as Omen)).

That was *before* Assad launched chemical weapons on innocent civilians. He is dragging Obama and his staff into this war kicking and screaming. History will show that Assad managed to get the most dovish US administration in history involved in a war in the Middle East. It is beyond me why anyone with a brain would still support him, other than for sectarian purposes or selfish benefits.

Thanks for showing arrogant “useless idiots” on this blog what the “militant idiots” in the West have done with Iraq.

zouzou again conveniently forgets to mention that that the majority of the dead in Iraq were murdered by the same fanatics supported, trained, and transported to Iraq by non other than the dog-poop chemical athad zouzou loves to snort. These are the same bastards that now form dog-poop chemical athad scarecrow plan. zouzou also does not want to mention that the huge corruption in Iraq is being committed by the hands of those who are “tightly close” to the muh-laaas of Iran and that corruption of the muh-laaas snorters like al-malki is also responsible for as many deaths and as much misery as the war itself.

these are all irrelevant facts to zouzouz. They don’t serve its message, which is……..

#311 Simohurtta

Iraq was a mess – everyone agrees on that. Many are to blame: US military incompetence, US intelligence failure, Iraq opposition lies, neighboring countries interference, Iraqi sectarian divide, jihadists, etc. But let us not forget the main cause of that mess: Saddam Hussain and his regime.

Similarly in Syria, there is plenty of blame to go around, but the main culprit remains Assad and his incompetent, corrupt and brutal regime. Let’s not forget that and allow him and his thugs to steer us away from that message.

315Zoo
Wrong Wrong ,312 has nothing to do with the chemical attack on Qaboon in 308,
312 is a tv report by your favorite RT with their camera man filming Chemical Assad tanks hitting Ma’aloula , open link

Don’t you love it. The meeting is over. Kerry is probably on the way for talks with AL and Gulf states, and dog-poop chemical athad snorters are still busy analyzing the pre-meeting “lefty” speculations.

Now, post meeting news from a russian news service states

MOSCOW, September 7 (RIA Novosti) – EU foreign ministers have called for a “clear and firm” response to those guilty of using chemical weapons in the conflict in Syria, the EU’s top diplomat Catherine Ashton said Saturday at a security policy meeting in Vilnius attended by US Secretary of State John Kerry, Reuters reported.

Kerry expressed his gratitude to the EU ministers for their “strong position” on Syria, Reuters reported.

But that call came with an appeal from the EU to the United States not to commence military operations against the Syrian regime until the publication of a UN report into the alleged use of chemical weapons in the conflict, The Associated Press reported.

On a different news service, the EU ministers seem to also have been convinced that it was dog-poop chemical athad and a bunch of its inhalers behind the massacre (which first did not happen, then was done by the rebels, then turned out to have been the results of the rebels using bad weapons, and last-but not finally was found to be a major inter-county transportation fiasco). Here is how convinced were the EU minister with the arguments from dirty-kill-them-all troll, nus-lira/aoun zouzou, and a couple of racist blokes who defecate words on this site:

The European Union agreed on Saturday that the Aug. 21 chemical attack outside Damascus appears to have been the work of Syria’s regime, but that any potential military attack against it should wait for a UN inspectors’ report.

To sum it up:
1. EU knows it was dog-poop chemical athad who massacred Syrian children and women

2. EU supports a strong action against the bastards who murdered Syrian children and women

3, EU asked Kerry, to hold-on on the strong response until the UN inspectors confirm that there was a cowardly massaccre with chemical weapons..which they themselves know and have confirmed it has.

Very very complex “logical problem” for the headless horsemen and “useful idiots”.

To sum it up even more
You’r S C R E W E D

I haven’t seen nothing of that sort. You have hallucinations of taking sand dust for chemical weapons. Nobody wears a gaz mask. Your accusations are ridiculous.

To sum it up even more:
Y A W N

Let’s not forget that it’s the Syrian opposition who invited the scourge of Al Qaeda in the country.

It is normal that the majority of people in Germany, India, Brazil, Mozambique, etc., are opposed to a US strike against Syria. Why would anyone who is not directly involved support a military strike by one nation on another nation? It does not surprise me that 70% of Germans are against the US strike. What surprises me is that 30% of them DO support the strike! Do you know what it takes to get 30% of Germans to support any military action by anyone against anyone?

The US intervention in Kosovo and Bosnia was very unpopular. But thank God Clinton ignored public opinions in Italy and Germany, skipped the UN, and did the right thing to save the Muslims there.

Pro-Israel U.S. lobbying group sets major push for Syria action

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/pro-israel-u-lobbying-group-sets-major-push-153922015.html#QsTTdFw

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – 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 al-Assad’s government.

Direct link between Assad and gas attack elusive for U.S.
By Mark Hosenball, Reuters

http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/World/2013/09/07/21104916.html?cid=rssnews

WASHINGTON – With the United States threatening to attack Syria, U.S. and allied intelligence services are still trying to work out who ordered the poison gas attack on rebel-held neighbourhoods near Damascus.

No direct link to President Bashar al-Assad or his inner circle has been publicly demonstrated, and some U.S. sources say intelligence experts are not sure whether the Syrian leader knew of the attack before it was launched or was only informed about it afterward.

While U.S. officials say Assad is responsible for the chemical weapons strike even if he did not directly order it, they have not been able to fully describe a chain of command for the Aug. 21 attack in the Ghouta area east of the Syrian capital.

It is one of the biggest gaps in U.S. understanding of the incident, even as Congress debates whether to launch limited strikes on Assad’s forces in retaliation.

The terrorist attack on Maloula has backfired, western press has reported the attack and questioned the purpose of this attack on a Christian symbol known all over the world.
Rebel mouthpieces lied again and said that nothing was damaged inside Maloula and that rebels left the area out of ” respect” for its religious value, we learned today that there was looting and burning of at least one church and we now know that there is still a fire fight around town. Who needs enemies with friends like these !!

United States of America – a large and important country in the world which has A failed foreign policy!
Instead of being a PARTNER in international AFFAIRS and an important PLAYER which has become PUPPET clique of young amateur!!!
America’s involvement in Syrian affairs in this way shows how much is in crisis and need help!!!

Obama Prepares to Wage Offensive, First-strike Strategic Nuclear Warfare against Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and ?????

I have now had the chance to read Obama’s recently released Report on Nuclear Employment Strategy of the United States, (June 21, 2013). The critical passage can be found on page 5:

“The 2010 Nuclear Posture Review established the Administration’s goal to set conditions that would allow the United States to safely adopt a policy of making deterrence of nuclear attack the sole purpose of U.S. nuclear weapons. Although we cannot adopt such a policy today, the new guidance re-iterates the intention to work towards that goal over time.”

In other words, “nuclear deterrence” is not now and has not been the policy of the Obama administration going back to and including their 2010 Nuclear Posture Review as well.

Since “nuclear deterrence” is not now and has never been the Obama administration’s nuclear weapons policy from the get-go, then by default this means that offensive first-strike strategic nuclear war fighting is now and has always been the Obama administration’s nuclear weapons policy………

I stand corrected.

In #314 you mentioned that a poll shows that 70% of Germans were against the strike. Doing the math, I assumed that 30% supported it.

But after your challenge, I did some digging, and found out that 23% of Germans support it according to the poll referenced below. Still a very high numbers for Germans in my opinion, but feel free to disagree.

….
Britain’s Parliament has already voted against military action. And French President Francois Hollande displayed sudden caution on Friday, saying he would wait for a UN report before deciding whether to intervene militarily.

The UN report is expected later this month, although some European officials are asking the UN to speed up the probe or issue an interim report.

Syrian rebels threaten humanitarian workers, kill 11 – top UN official

Armed groups openly threaten humanitarian workers in Syria, said top UN official Valerie Amos on Friday. The UN humanitarian chief also stated that 11 UN staff members have already been killed in the country, and cited several cases of abductions.

It is not a done deal yet, we have at least 8 days before a vote is done at the Congress, if a vote is done today the congress will vote NO, Obama is not likely to strike before that and may not strike if the congress says NO. This makes some comments on this blog almost worthless. The EU members support a decisive response but almost none spells the word ” military”. One potential exit is waiting for UN report then finding out who was behind the attack, if Assad regime is found guilty, Putin will sign up on a deal that allows the UNSC to take guilty officers and politicians to a war crime court and will agree that Assad can not be part of any future government. This scenario has a lot of ifs and buts but it may save Syria from a war that may spread to other countries and make a bad situation worse.
I agree that those behind the attack must be punished, I disagree that attacking Syria is the answer, many of you are driven by hate and revenge not common sense.

Assad won’t be taken anywhere. Every Syrian will fight to the death to defeat the enemy.

Iran and Hezbollah will send 100s of 1000s of soldiers to help. Russia already said they will help militarily – Putin himself said it for all to hear.

When the missiles hit Syria the response will be an attack on Israel.

I remember the OJ Simpson trial in 1995. When the innocent verdict was announced, the American Blacks celebrated justice, and the American Whites cried foul. Everyone looked at the same evidence, and made the opposite conclusion, each side based on what they wanted to believe.

My point is, after 2.5 years of this war, I do not believe facts and truths will change minds of the people who want to believe what they want to believe. After September 11, there were video tapes of of the terrorists in their own words describing what they intended to do. There was a video tape of Bin Laden talking about the operation. Yet, there are tens of millions around the world who still believe that Al-Qaeda had nothing to do with 9/11. Those video tapes were “obviously” fabricated. So will any evidence showing that the Syrian regime had anything to do with the chemical attack. It will be “obviously” fabricated by the CIA and the Saudi intelligence.

It will take a miracle to find a political settlement, one that both sides can feel that they have won something. The scenario you paint sounds great, but I am afraid it has a zero chance of becoming a reality. Unfortunately.

Syrian Anarchist Challenges the Rebel/Regime Binary View of Resistance

By Joshua Stephens, Truthout | Interview

Nader Atassi: “If the US wants to help, it can start by using diplomacy to talk to Russia and Iran and convince them to stop the war so that Syrians themselves can determine what is the next course of action.”

Syrian Parliament Letter to U.S. Congress: Let Us Cooperate Against Our Common Enemy, Saudi-funded Al-Qaeda

Greetings,

Please find attached an urgent formal Open Letter from myself as Speaker of the Syrian Parliament. I am sending this on behalf of the Members of the Syrian People’s Assembly. The institution that has functioned continuously since its foundation in 1919.

In view of today’s crucial debate on a possible American military attack on our country, it is vital that the attached letter to be circulated immediately to every Congress Member prior to the debate.

In addition, we kindly ask you read out the letter during the opening stages of the debate in order to ensure that the Honourable Members are fully appraised [sic] of the situation in Syria and of the proposals included in the attached letter, and in order to ensure that the full text of the letter is registered in your records.

It is important to note that we have sent an explanatory letter regarding the situation in Syria to our colleagues at the British Parliament who took the responsibility to exhaust all avenues of diplomacy before involving their nation into war.

We hope that your Honourable Members will also take a similar approach.

Yours faithfully,
Speaker of People’s Assembly
MHD. Jihd AL-LAHHAM

Dear Sirs and Madams,

“If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships — the ability of all peoples, to live together, in the same world at peace.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt

We write to you urgently as you are debating the process of launching an attack on Syria. Additionally, we write to you as fellow Parliamentarians and representatives of our peoples.

It is still important that, we write to you as fathers and mothers, as members of families and communities which really are not so different to yours. Moreover, we write to you as human beings asking: if you bomb us, shall we not bleed?! The innocent people will be harmed.

Local tragedies become regional wars that led to global conflict because of the lack of communication among nations. We urge you to communicate with us through civilized dialogue rather than the language of fire and blood.

In Syria, we are keeping in mind the American dream of family values, the opportunity of success in a peaceful environment. James Truslow Adams said in 1931, “life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement” regardless of social class, religion or circumstances of birth.

Before your debate at the Congress let’s recall the following:

1. Common facts:

* The main factor of 9/11 attacks was the hatred Wahhabi Jihadist Ideology adopted and financed by Saudis.

* The hatred Wahhabi Jihadist Ideology was born from the Muslim Brotherhood jihadist doctrine. One of the living example is Omar Abdel Rahman, who’s actually in your prison, where many parties claiming to be your allies are seeking his release.

* More than 3 trillion USD, hundreds of thousands of killed and injured Americans and Iraqis and millions of Iraqi refugees were the cost of the ongoing military war on terrorism.

* Due to the Saudi money the Salafi Wahhabi different jihadist “Madrassas” are still operating and where thousands of kids are graduated every year from these terrorist centers.

* Kitchen tools plus Wahhabi Ideology are the main factors behind the horrible terrorist attacks around the world and Boston crime is the living example of the present and future sleeping cells model.

* Since late seventies, Syria was the first country that faced fundamentalist fanatic terrorism.

* Now, Syria is fighting tens of thousands of Non-Syrian jihadists.

* Syria is the last living genuine secular state in the Middle East.

* The United States and Syria both suffered and are still suffering from the terror of the same enemy which is the hatred Wahhabi Ideology adopted and financed by Saudis.

* Both of our countries fully supported the Security Council resolutions 1373 and 1624 to combat terrorism.

“I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made ”
Franklin D. Roosevelt

The main common enemy to our two nations is the hatred wahhabi Jihadi ideology represented by Al- Qaida, A1 Nusra Front and its affiliates,

2-Alleged Chemical Attacks:

2-1 Evidences of possessing Chemical Weapons by the armed fanatic terrorist groups:

* On 19.03.2013 Khan Al-Asal, Aleppo chemical attack on civilians and military personnel, Syrian Government asked on 20.03.2013 for an immediate UN investigation.

The investigation Team visit was delayed for more than 5 months by US, France and UK intervention.

* On 30.05.2013 Turkey announced the capture of an Islamist fanatic terrorist group possessing two litres of Sarin Gas. Therefore, Mr. Sergey Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, on 31.05.2013 urged the Turkish Government to cooperate to avoid the possibility of any future chemical attack in the Middle East and Europe.

* On 01.06.2013 the Iraqi Army announced the capture of a fundamentalist fanatic terrorist group on the Iraqi-Syrian borders, and seized chemical weapons and a remote control of a small helicopter.

* On 28.07.2013 the Syrian authorities handed to the Russian and Chinese diplomatic missions in Damascus the evidence of the possessing chemical weapon by al Nusra Front and their intention to use them to attack Muaaret al Numan and the suburb of Aleppo.

Conclusion: the above facts proves that the fundamentalist Jihadist terrorist groups possessed and used chemical weapons previously.

2-2 Question: Logically, what is the benefit of the Syrian Government to commit a chemical attack crime during the visit of the U.N. Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria within less than 4 miles from the Commission residence at Four Seasons Hotel?!

3. For that reason, we urge you to come to Syria, to send a delegation, as soon as you can to see and discover for yourselves what is going on here. We invite you to come to Syria to measure the situation before you cut—especially when the cloth that will be cut is human flesh. Where we can together generate a road map for a joint effective effort against terrorism.

We believe that such an aggressive and unjustified act of war would be unfair and illegal due to the following reasons:

a) Syria is a sovereign state that does not pose any threat to the United States of America;

b) The UN Security Council did not adopt such an action.

c) The UN Report about the terrible incident in Damascus Countryside – Ghotta- has not been formulated. No-one can even know whether it will include enough evidence for any claims and allegations.

d) On the contrary, the UN has already concluded that there is a very strong evidence that the fundamentalist terrorists from the al-Nusrah Front – a terrorist organization affiliated to al Qaeda- have used a poison gas against Syrian soldiers and innocent civilians. Consequently, any aggressive act against innocent and sovereign people, without any legal evidence, would be a criminal act breaching the principles of the International Law. While some of the western circles are offering all possible support to the fanatic Wahhabi rebels who were accused of committing crimes by the UN, which is surely a breach of your declared basic principles of justice.

We highly appreciate your moral feeling of sorrow at the images of the chemical attack victims. We the Syrians, are fully co-operating with the UN Investigation Team, Syrian experts are also investigating the question of who carried out this atrocity and sharing the UN Team with the results. We Parliamentarians, are determined to reach the truth and to bring the involved criminals to justice, regardless whoever they are.

In the meantime we urge you not to rush into any irresponsible reckless action. You have the power and the responsibility today to convert the United States of America from the war track to the diplomatic path. We hope to meet there, and to talk, as civilised peoples should. We adopt a diplomatic solution, as we realize that war would be a bloody destructive catastrophic track, which does not have any benefit for all nations.

In fact, the most important matter is that we all face the same terrorist threat. Attacking Syria and weakening its establishments and infrastructure would automatically strengthen the power of our common enemy, Al Qaida and its terrorist affiliates. Instead of fighting each other, we should be working together to fully implement UN Security Council Resolutions 1373 and 1624 against terror. Instead of being enemies, we should be walking the road to peace and truth together.

With Best Regards,
Speaker of People’s Assembly

Majed these AMERICAN veterans are not afraid to say what they believe and put their real names down saying so. This isn’t your BS about Dempsey, your lies, but the REAL DEAL:

Obama Warned on Intel about Syrian
by Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) / September 6th, 2013

Exclusive: Despite the Obama administration’s supposedly “high confidence” regarding Syrian government guilt over the Aug. 21 chemical attack near Damascus, a dozen former U.S. military and intelligence officials are telling President Obama that they are picking up information that undercuts the Official Story.

We regret to inform you that some of our former co-workers are telling us, categorically, that contrary to the claims of your administration, the most reliable intelligence shows that Bashar al-Assad was NOT responsible for the chemical incident that killed and injured Syrian civilians on August 21, and that British intelligence officials also know this. In writing this brief report, we choose to assume that you have not been fully informed because your advisers decided to afford you the opportunity for what is commonly known as “plausible denial.” We have been down this road before – with President George W. Bush, to whom we addressed our first VIPS memorandum immediately after Colin Powell’s Feb. 5, 2003 U.N. speech, in which he peddled fraudulent “intelligence” to support attacking Iraq. Then, also, we chose to give President Bush the benefit of the doubt, thinking he was being misled – or, at the least, very poorly advised. Secretary of State John Kerry departs for a Sept. 6 trip to Europe where he plans to meet with officials to discuss the Syrian crisis and other issues. (State Department photo) The fraudulent nature of Powell’s speech was a no-brainer. And so, that very afternoon we strongly urged your predecessor to “widen the discussion beyond … the circle of those advisers clearly bent on a war for which we see no compelling reason and from which we believe the unintended consequences are likely to be catastrophic.” We offer you the same advice today…

A U.S. strike would be self-wounding
By Kapil Komireddi, Special to CNN

To rid Syria of al-Assad’s dictatorship and prevent it from falling into the hands of jihadists who are cut from the same ideological cloth as the men who drove the planes into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, the United States may have to commit itself to Syria for more than a decade — fighting the jihadists, subduing al-Assad and his allies in Hezbollah, protecting Israel and preserving Lebanon’s fragile peace. After Afghanistan and Iraq, is there an appetite for such an enterprise anywhere?
Intervening in Syria will perhaps pacify Obama’s conscience. But in Syria, there’s every chance that it will escalate the conflict. Ultimately tantalizing the losing side in the Syrian civil war with a brief, punitive, “limited” entry on its behalf will only hasten the creation of conditions that will eventually suck America back into the conflict

Protest at White House against Syria strikes

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/world/protest-at-white-house/805716.html

Waving signs and placards, some 200 protesters gathered at the White House on Saturday before marching to Capitol Hill, in a demonstration opposing possible US military strikes against Syria.

“Congressional offices are being flooded with calls, faxes and emails,” said Sarah Sloan, of the ANSWER Coalition – the group organising the protest – in a statement before the demonstration.

“Congressional officials report that by a margin of 100 to one, people are telling the elected representatives from their district that they should vote no on the war resolution,” she added.

Human shields waiting authorization from Syria to enter

Volunteers to Serve as Human Shields in Syria
The ‘International Human Shields’ movement, plans to bring to Syria civilians from countries around the globe.

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/171654#.UiuIBjdk34s

The ‘International Human Shields’ movement, founded by a group of activists in Britain and the US, plans to bring to Syria civilians from countries around the globe, who will try to deter US strikes on the country by staking out potential military targets and serving as human shields there.

The British Telegraph said that Franklin Lamb, a lawyer recently appointed as the legal adviser for the group, said he had been “inundated” with requests from activists including from Canada, France, Italy, the US, and Britain.

The Syrian regime has not yet told the group whether it intends to let it enter the country.

Many of those volunteering to go to Syria also took part in the ‘Human Shields’ movement that traveled to Baghdad, initially to protect hospitals and schools, and later, key government infrastructure sites.

Ken O’Keefe, an ex-US Marine who gave up his American citizenship in disgust at Iraq war and who became a leader of that Human Shields group, told The Daily Telegraph that he has been acting as an adviser for this Syrian-focused movement.

“I have been sharing my experience with Mr Lamb. I have a feeling that if the Syrian government allows it, there would be a huge inundation of volunteers,” he said. “The policies of Britain and the US make no sense; we are aligning ourselves with the people who we were supposedly fighting in Iraq.”

“The White House will get the votes it needs in Congress to pass a resolution in favor of military action in Syria?,
Grayson said no”

Grayson: All we really know about bombing Syria is that we don’t know what happens next
By David Ferguson
Saturday, September 7, 2013 16:03 EDT

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/09/07/grayson-all-we-really-know-about-bombing-syria-is-that-we-dont-know-what-happens-next/

In an interview with Ezra Klein of the Washington Post, Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) laid out a case against military intervention in Syria and said that not only is the U.S. unlikely to affect the outcome of the current conflict between Syrian Pres. Bashar al-Assad, but that no one knows exactly what would happen after the raid.

“(T)here’s a substantial amount of hubris here,” alleged the Florida congressman. “They think they know where the targets are, they think they know how to hit it with enough force but not too much force, they think they know how the Russian and the Iranians will react. We cannot determine all this. On some level, we’re assuming the reaction from Russia and Iraq and Syria will be zero: We’ll carry out this attacks, and there’ll be no response.”

“This is a bit of a sensitive subject, but the administration has been honest that they have no smoking gun that the attack was ordered by Assad. The evidence of his involvement is circumstantial,” he continued. “We’re two years into a civil war that he’s winning. The Russians and Iranians have told him not to use chemical weapons. Hezbollah has told him not to use chemical weapons because their fighters are at risk. So he’s winning, there’s scant and circumstantial evidence that he ordered the attack. Why are we gaming out his incentives when we don’t know he ordered it?”

This position would fly in the face of the current conventional wisdom in Washington, which considers the chemical attacks an act of the Assad regime proper, not rogue elements within it.
..
When asked whether he believes that the White House will get the votes it needs in Congress to pass a resolution in favor of military action in Syria, Grayson said no. Not only is the administration losing the proposition in Congress, he said, but the public is also against it. With the public so closely watching the president’s decision, Grayson asserted, there will be no way to hedge or finesse the matter, either.

He asked, “When has the White House ever — ever — been able to turn around a vote? It hasn’t happened in the entire Obama administration; much less happened when the constituent mail is running 100-1 against. When nobody is paying attention, anything is possible. The president can offer you favors or employ moral suasion or enlist lobbies. But the public is watching and is extremely angry about the president’s position. In that kind of environment, the president doesn’t even have the tools.”

Not to go on with the strike is a serious matter, which have serious consequences against US security
1- Persia will dare to test the US resolve, and will be encouraged to make nuclear bomb.
2- the rebels in Syria,when they see no response to CW use, they will seek to acquire CW, probably Jabhat Al Nusra can acquire these weapons and will use them.
3- Other countries will rush to manufacture CW, making it easy for AlQaida to acquire them,this means future terrorism will depend on the use of CW,this represent major threat to US security.
It is too late to stop

319. Hopeful said:

Similarly in Syria, there is plenty of blame to go around, but the main culprit remains Assad and his incompetent, corrupt and brutal regime. Let’s not forget that and allow him and his thugs to steer us away from that message.

Hopeful do you understand how idiotic you sound by admitting, that Iraq was total mess and then demanding actions against Syria using much of the same “reasoning” which were used in Iraq invasion. What guaranties can USA give that Syria will not become a even bigger mess than Iraq was. It can’t. The only guaranty USA can give is to its own military industry, that their turnover and profits will increase. The chance to limit the war from USA’s side to a couple of days cruise missile “lesson” are naive.

USA can’t give any guaranties, that Syria would in future be ruled in a better way what the present regime has done. The likelihood that the government which would emerge after years of internal fighting will be much more brutal and corrupt (religious dictatorship). Do you seriously believe, that this fragmented opposition and the countless criminal and religious militias could produce in a couple weeks/months security, order and a ruling system which even remotely resembles some kind of democracy? If you do you are like your nickname – hopeful. Hopeful like a person who says, that he will win in lotto next week.

In view of the smell and the length of you h-p, you apparently are very excited by your own delusion.

Yeah, I received many complaints about smelly posts;but only those that mention nus-lira/aoun zouzou. Once I almost got sewed for what people thought was a”fart bomb”, but that was a post that mentioned the troll.

Youtube seems to be the main High Tech Intelligence source for the White House to show ‘proofs’ just like in High Tech satellite photos showed the Iraq “chemical weapons trucks” that started a war that killed millions.

Now is the US Congress seriously going to makes decision to kill people based on Youtube videos?

Hammy

You don’t need to be “sewed”, you already live like other rodents of your kind in smelly “sewage” feeding yourself with sarin gas that Bandar Ben Sultan has stored there to keep it fresh for the next ‘attack’.
No wonder you h-p are so suffocatingly stinking.

336. Hopeful said:

But after your challenge, I did some digging, and found out that 23% of Germans support it according to the poll referenced below. Still a very high numbers for Germans in my opinion, but feel free to disagree.

Hopeful I was told, that there is a poll in which the clear majority of US citizens supported sending the whole Congress to Syria without a need to return them. Have you heard of this poll?

Anyway these “attack Syria” polls are infantile propaganda. The result depend totally of that what the questions asked are. The more general the question are the more support for the attack. The more exact and revealing the less popular. Asking “Should Assad be punished” would probably be rather popular. Asking the same in style “Should we punish Assad using our military” would be very unpopular. ETC.

Majed

You are not up to date. The rebels have already used rebel-made Sarin several times , they did’nt wait for your permission.

Just ask Bandar Ben Sultan and the Ghouta inhabitants.

You said
“they will seek to acquire CW, probably Jabhat Al Nusra can acquire these weapons and will use them.”

Obama plan for a ‘mini-war’: “amateurish, murky, contradictory, frustrating, incoherent, unconvincing… ”

Obama faces scepticism in Congress over plans to attack Syria
http://www.scmp.com/news/world/article/1305844/obama-faces-scepticism-congress-over-plans-attack-syria

Analysts and lawmakers doubt the Obama administration can make good on its pledge that a strike will be of limited scope and duration
Sunday, 08 September, 2013 [Updated: 4:36AM]

The first week of US President Barack Obama’s bid to build political unity on Syria by bringing in Congress ended in near disarray, with top cabinet officers and Pentagon officials providing murky or even contradictory responses to inquiries from frustrated lawmakers and reporters.
…
Kerry also raised eyebrows when he testified that 15 per cent to 25 per cent of the Syrian opposition fighting Assad is made up of “bad guys” – radical Islamists, many with al-Qaeda ties. That range flew in the face of much higher figures provided to lawmakers by intelligence agencies.

The week’s lobbying has had such little success that authorisation for a strike would likely fail in Congress if the vote were today, as sceptical lawmakers consider heeding war-weary constituents who firmly oppose military intervention.

“I think for many, absent of being convinced, ‘no’ is going to be the answer” on Syria intervention, congressman Kevin Cramer said.

The Senate is expected to vote this week on allowing a limited attack, while the House is due to vote within the next two weeks.

bandar … again, it said.
sorry…. and again… and again… and again…..

CNN says that Hollande by backing off has a good reason: a deal has been made that once the UN ‘preliminary’ report gives indication that the Syrians are behind the attack, then the whole EU will join the coalition. It is still not clear if that would result in military strikes.
The key question is will the UN report indicate clear cut and without any doubt who is behind the attack? The UN team original mandate was to determine the chemical nature of the toxic gas used in other locations. While the inspectors may have interviewed and investigated more what happened in Al Ghouta, they were not authorized by the UN to do so.
Logically, another UN team of military and balistiqc experts should be send back to Al Ghouta to make a thorough investigation.
Will the West follow that logical step or will try to skip it?
If the Congress say No ahead of the UN report, then the whole EU plans collapses and back to square one.

European dealmaking on Syria as U.S. tries to build coalition

http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/07/world/europe/eu-syria-strikes/index.html

European diplomats say Hollande seemed to be left hanging when President Barack Obama decided to seek authorization for strikes from Congress. He is facing pressure from the French public and Parliament for a stronger international backing and U.N. imprint before taking military action in Syria.

European diplomats tell CNN that Hollande struck a deal with the European Union. In exchange for more European political support for action, he would wait for the U.N. inspectors’ report. That was the genesis of the E.U. statement, which now has all 28 countries on record.

Until now, just a few countries were even expressing support for such action, as evident by the fact only 10 countries joined the United States in signing onto the G-20 statement (France, the U.K. and Spain were the only European nations).

American aggression on Syria will turn the table on the heads of the actors, and U.S. allies will burn with fire of this aggression. As for Israel, it will be more affected by it.
The war, inevitably, will not end with U.S. victory. There will be surprises and unforeseen things. The silence of the other party reinforced the confusion with the American administration.
Syrians understand well that they are in front of the battle and existence and will certainly take the initiative to break the case of no war and no-peace!

Former U.S. Ambassador Cautions Against Attack on Syria

Peter Galbraith, U.S. ambassador to Croatia in the 1990s who was involved in the Croatia-Bosnia peace process, has made a career of studying conflict.
Historically a strong interventionist, Galbraith argues against military intervention in Syria and outlines possible alternatives.

General Petraeus endorsed the strike against Assad

Me in Healthy days

After a meal of Bandar’s Sarin

U.S. administration go to an intensive campaign to win the support of the deputies Congress of African descent and the support of deputies from the Latin American assets and congressional deputies of the Jews!It hides the Americans the real cost of the war!They are lying by claiming that the war is limited and cosmetic!The war will be a big, serious and long-lasting!!
http://youtu.be/1wia0cw0Upk?t=8s

The videos that were leaked to CNN, on purpose, are not new and they do not tell who was behind the attacks or where the attacks were conducted, there are many holes in the story and I do believe that leaking the videos to CNN provides further evidence that Obama has little support among Americans and is trying to change public opinion in the next 2 weeks, but most Americans are already suspicious of their government and will now be more suspicious, no American believes that a US president should attack a foreign country that did not attack the US based on questionable evidence and unauthenticated videos which are rarely admissible in any international court. People want to see the evidence before they give Obama a green light to attack, many Americans think Obama is doing this to help himself and Israel not the average American.
Look, something terrible probably happened in Ghoutah and it needs to be investigated and those who are proven to have ordered or carried at attack with CW must be brought to justice, keep in mind that the victims of alleged attacks in Ghouta are less than 1% of victims of this war and that many atrocities went unpunished because most countries prefer to watch Syrians killing each other instead of spending money and risking lives to stop this insanity.

“General Petraeus endorsed the strike against Assad”
This is old news, the man wanted to bomb Syria since 2012, I am glad he got busy cheating on his wife.

The majority of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans serving in Congress are lining up against President Obama’s plan for military action in Syria.

12 U.S. Intelligence Officials Tell Obama It Wasn’t Assad
Posted on September 7, 2013 by WashingtonsBlog

By Ray McGovern, a 27-year CIA veteran, who chaired National Intelligence Estimates and personally delivered intelligence briefings to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, their Vice Presidents, Secretaries of State, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and many other senior government officials

Editor Note: Despite the Obama administration’s supposedly “high confidence” regarding Syrian government guilt over the Aug. 21 chemical attack near Damascus, a dozen former U.S. military and intelligence officials are telling President Obama that they are picking up information that undercuts the Official Story.

MEMORANDUM FOR: The President

We regret to inform you that some of our former co-workers are telling us, categorically, that contrary to the claims of your administration, the most reliable intelligence shows that Bashar al-Assad was NOT responsible for the chemical incident that killed and injured Syrian civilians on August 21, and that British intelligence officials also know this. In writing this brief report, we choose to assume that you have not been fully informed because your advisers decided to afford you the opportunity for what is commonly known as “plausible denial.”

Correct analogy: Bush was looking for a pretext to invade Iraq, Obama is looking for a pretext to bring down Assad.

This is exactly the argument the Bush adm. used in order to explain it’s aggression against Iraq.We know

Congress may yet save the U.S. from a big stupidity and big crime. Congress leadership-for hitting. But the sentiment “against” getting stronger.

USA pretend that an attack on Syria supports the entire world. Complete nonsense. – Against the “twenty”, most of the EU, part of the Arab League and the Pope

They said that Obama does not want to fight in Syria. This myth is destroyed by Obama. He finally turned into a “war president” – the second Bush

This is pathetic.

The videos that were leaked to CNN, on purpose

Smart… Brilliant…. why would one purposelessly release anything? beats me.

funny how nus-lira/aounites think. Success of the French president in making a deal with 27 other countries is viewed as failure. Wonder how many countries can nus-lira or the discredited general can make deals with. (We are not talking about drug smuggling deals with mafia gangs, we are talking about real sovereign countries)

Before I forget… it seems that DU is very popular…Wikipedea states:

The Russian military has used DU ammunition in tank main gun ammunition since the late 1970s, mostly for the 115 mm guns in the T-62 tank and the 125 mm guns in the T-64, T-72, T-80, and T-90 tanks.

One wonders which tanks served in Afghanistan, which tanks are now serving in the dog-poop chemical athad army. No one has yet checked. We thank the russian agents on SC for reminding us to look these little “conveniently ignored” matters.

It would appear that not all Pallies are ungrateful treacherous parasites. Some Pallies recognize the sacrifices Syria has made for them.

“When was the last time Ray McGovern entrusted with any intelligence, reliable or unreliable?”

Like YouTube videos produced by Nusra? That kind of intelligence?

Libya Objects to Foreign Intervention In Syria

Libyan Foreign Minister Mohamed Abdulaziz has called upon the Arab League to reject the use of force against Syria outside the framework of international legitimacy. The minister’s stance has come as a great surprise to many. Those who enthusiastically back the strike wondered how a state whose new regime was established on the basis of foreign intervention can oppose a similar intervention in other Arab countries.

American officials have a track record of lying to start wars against other countries. This has been the consistent modus operandi of the US from Vietnam to Yugoslavia, and from Iraq to Libya.

Washington is threatening to attack Syria as a means of prolonging the fighting inside Syria. The US government also wants to have a stronger hand in the country’s future negotiations by restoring the balance of power between the Syrian government and America’s anti-government insurgent allies, thus weakening the Syrian military and ending its winning momentum against the insurgency. If not softening Damascus up for the insurgents, America wants to level the equation and undermine the Syrian government before a final negotiation takes place.

Libya knows too well what is the aftermath of Western attacks: Chaos and expansion of the islamists. But blinded by the crusade against elusive chemical gas, the West doen’t even want to know what happens after. They only want to satisfy their “moral outrage” and their ego.

Spare us your sarcasm mr hamster, you know the leak had an evil purpose and not just for the sake of FOi, if Obama had a strong case for bombing Syria he would not need to unleash his employees all over TV to sell a car that is too expensive to own, Syria’s war.
I remain confident that Obama will either change his mind or perform a cosmetic strike.
There is a always risk for a wider war even with a small attack but I do not believe Assad will respond unless the attack crosses Assad’s own redlines,ie if he believes that his regime may collapse or sustain severe damage, that is still unlikely.

Erdugang lost his bid for the 2020 Olympic Games but he still can arrange for special Olympics for Nusra and the GCC bedouins.

Historically a strong interventionist, Galbraith argues against military intervention in Syria and outlines possible alternatives.

If Obama looses the vote, there is something he is winning that is extremely valuable for the region. He would have made for once the Congress inflict a overreaching defeat to… Israel.

The message to Israel will be: There will be no attack on Iran or any if its allies unless it is proven they used WMD.
It is therefore time for Netanyahu to forget about threatening Iran and work seriously in the current negotiation with the Palestinians.

For The strike to be very successful, 10% of Assad supporting generals will die, and 90% of Assad remaining aircraft will be destroyed,and his two famous palaces will be leveled

Just so you may know, our behind-the-scenes benefactors, with sources implanted in the deepest recesses of covertness who can bring you the news before it happens authorized us to make this heads up public.

Hollande of France made it clear to various heads of states he met with recently that he will kill Ass-head for what he has done no matter what parliaments or congresses decide. Holande said this is his final decision and he has a plan to do it which he and Obama of America have agreed upon.

And just so you may know, the G20 meeting was not a total failure as many would have thought. Leaks have surfaced that a deal between Obama and Putin was discussed in which Obama would forget about the Snowden case in return for Ass-head’s head presented to the Americans onboard an MI 5 helicopter which will transport Ass-head from a Tartous naval base to a nearby US destroyer once Ass-head makes his final journey from Yaafour to the naval base aboard a Gazelle chopper when the bombs start falling.

It wasn’t lost on Mr. Obama that the proposed deal favors the Russian team more than the American. For it was obvious that the Russians were offering a dead dog walking for an agent packed with esppionage secrets that could have serious repercussions on US National security. In the end the Russians had to sweeten the deal and agree to offer more in the Syrian theatre. They were willing to allow the Americans free hand in shaping the future Syrian government without any Russian bickering. The Russians also figured out that it is best to allow the Americans to seek to rebuild a destroyed Syria since it has not much more to offer in terms of arms deals struck on credit ratings below CCC.

And so it came to pass. The greatest sell-out ever came to light, and Hollande will get to shoot the last bullet on Ass-head’s head courtesy of Putin’s airforce delivery services.

Thank you Angela, can’t you keep your wild dogs home

Tolerance for Christians to end if Assad deposed

September 7, 2013
http://www.examiner.com/article/tolerance-for-christians-to-end-if-assad-deposed

The fact that Syrian president Bashar al-Assad is an authoritarian dictator is well known and reported widely nearly every day in the mainstream media. What is not being reported is that Assad belongs to a Muslim sect that believes in tolerance toward other religions, such as Christianity.

Assad is an Alawite, a relatively small sect within Islam that comprises roughly 12 percent of the population of Syria. The Alawites are considered to be an offshoot of Shia Islam and are hated by nearly all of the major sects within the Muslim religion.

One of the main sticking points between the Alawites and the rest of Islam is the fact that the Alawites have a long history of living in close proximity to Christians in peace. This has been a characteristic of Syria for centuries and has continued under the Assad regime. Christians have been free to practice their religious beliefs and to live without fear of persecution.

Such tolerance is not a mainstay within the rest of Islam. Many of the Syrian rebels who currently fight to remove the Assad regime are extremists who belong to factions within Islam that wish to kill Christians and Jews, burning down their churches and synagogues. The very same scenario was at play in Egypt.

At the forefront of the Islamic extremists is the Muslim Brotherhood. Despite its attempt to portray itself publicly as a “moderate” group, the Brotherhood is the parent organization of al Qaeda, Hamas, and other violent Islamist groups that believe all “infidels” should be killed.

Of immense importance is the fact that to the Brotherhood, al Qaeda, and other sects within Islam, the Alawites are considered infidels as well, even worse than Christians and Jews. It is no wonder, then, that the Brotherhood, al Qaeda, the Sunnis, and other Islamic groups wish to oust Assad and obliterate the Alawites.

Thus, when it comes to extremist Muslims in Syria, the issue is not and never has been Assad’s atrocities. Were al Qaeda or the Brotherhood in power, those atrocities would be multiplied ad infinitum.

Erdugang lost his bid for the 2020 Olympic Games but he still can arrange for special Olympics for Nusra and the GCC bedouins.

So did Spain,…. what was the name of their PM? ya shater….

Really I knew this was coming. I even told the Mrs, wait and see, the men7ebaakjis will start blabbering about Erdogan’s major defeat, and you’ll never hear a single ward about Madrid. You guys are such a predictable bouquet of headless horsemen.

I point at the moon, and the fool stares at my finger.
(Chinese Proverb)

“Tolerance for Christians to end if Assad deposed”
How come their numbers were cut in half pre 2011 under the leadership of Assad Jr.and Sr.and how did they survive for 1400 years before the 2Assads came down from the mountains?

Japan hosted summer Olympics in 1964
Spain held summer olympics in 1992
Istanbul would have been a good choice but not when there is a war south of the borders with Turkey being knee deep in it.
For selfish reasons I would have preferred Istanbul, a wonderful city to visit, but not now even if the games are 9 years away.

After the ill advised move on Ma’aloula by the Qalmoan fighters,now Chemical Assad militia is trying to liberate Ma’aloula the same way they libreated Baba Ammer and half Darayya.

Report on the expectations of the rebel leaders in Turkey

Syrian rebels prepare for U.S. strike

Free Syrian Army rebels are concerned that a delayed U.S. military strike on the Assad regime could diminish their chance to capitalize on it — especially if it is not severe enough and does not prevent the regime from resuming air strikes. Clarissa Ward reports.

http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50154576n

Obama will make 6 interviews on Monday and an address to the Americans on Tuesday as the vote is scheduled for Wednesday before the UN report.

The president does seem to expect the UN report to offer a casus belli as it will be incomplete and contested.
Therefore he is betting on the Congress.

A special report for the “fans” of Elizabeth O’Bagy and the suspicious “Institute of War”

Shady PR operatives, pro-Israel ties, anti-Castro money: Inside the Syrian opposition’s DC spin machine

http://www.opednews.com/articles/Shady-PR-operatives-pro-I-by-Max-Blumenthal-Inside-Job_Intervention_Obama_Opposition-130907-836.html

During the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Syria on September 3, Secretary of State John Kerry and Senator John McCain both cited a Wall Street Journal editorial by Elizabeth O’Bagy to support their assessment of the Syrian rebels as predominately “moderate,” and potentially Western-friendly.

“She works with the Institute of War,” Kerry said of O’Bagy. “She’s fluent in Arabic and spent an enormous amount of time studying the opposition and studying Syria. She just published this the other day. Very interesting [Wall Street Journal] article, which I commend to you.”

Kerry added, “I just don’t agree that a majority are al-Qaida and the bad guys.”

What Kerry and McCain neglected to mention was that O’Bagy had been recently hired as the political director of the Syrian Emergency Task Force (SETF), a little known outfit that functions as a lobbying arm of the Syrian opposition in Washington.

Until today, O’Bagy had failed to note her role as a paid Syrian opposition lobbyist in her Wall Street Journal byline and did not note the position in her official bio at the Institute for the Study of War. Only after a storm of criticism did the Wall Street Journal insert a note in O’Bagy’s recent op-ed disclosing her paid position at SETF. O’Bagy was also compelled to amend her bio with a lengthy clarification about her work at SETF.

But her work at the Institute for the Study of War should have been enough to set off alarm bells.

“Logrolling for war”

The Institute for the Study of War’s (ISW) board of directors is led by William Kristol. Kimberly Kagan, the group’s president, was on General Stanley McChrystal’s strategic review team in 2009, advocating for a dramatic expansion of the US presence in Afghanistan. Her husband is Frederick Kagan, the AEI fellow who is the uncle of fellow neocon Robert Kagan.

In its 2011 annual report [PDF], the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) detailed its close working relationship with Palantir Technologies, a private surveillance firm contracted by Bank of America in 2011 in an unsuccessful plot to dismantle Anonymous and sabotage Glenn Greenwald.

The report listed New York Times reporter Michael Gordon as “ISW’s journalist in residence.” Back in January 2013, Gordon published an article pushing claims that Syrian army forces had used sarin gas, thus crossing Obama’s “red line” and triggering a US intervention. Noting that the State Department could not confirm the information in Gordon’s report, former Defense Intelligence Agency officer Pat Lang accused Gordon of “logrolling for war in Syria.”

Despite his past affiliation with a think tank dedicated to pushing for US intervention in Syria, Gordon remains on the Times’ Syria beat.
much more….

Just so you may know, our benefactors with their deep cover sources have been working hard behind the scenes and around the clock to bring to you the news before any one else does. They made this heads up available to us for release.

In an effort to gauge the Congress’ mood following the release of the incriminating videos, our team of deep cover implants explored the opinions of 300 congressmen about what they saw. The verdict was clearcut and unanimous. All 300 congressmen agreed that Mr. Obama has a slam dunk case to which they have to respond to positively when it comes to the vote sometime next week. The congressmen stated that they have a duty towards their conscieous not to let the horror perpetrated by Ass-head to go unpunished. They further stated that they will push for a revised resolution authorizing Mr. Obama to do whatever it takes in US power and its allies to make of Ass-head an example for future would-be despots. The congressmen also expressed their confidence that the American public would rally behind the Congress and President when it becomes fully aware of the depth and breadth of the atrocities perpetrated by Ass-head and his comrade gangs of Criminals Without Borders.

Syrians close to the opposition are no more welcomed in Egypt.

Syrian refugees find hostility in Egypt

….
The rebel Free Syrian Army, which Egyptian media has tied to the Brotherhood, is no longer seen as a friend to the Egyptian people, Bilal said. “People now look at us and say, ‘You are the traitors. You are the ones doing the killing in Syria.’?”

Syrian refugees say they are insulted and taunted on the streets, charged double for commodities and services, increasingly mugged and robbed, and are harassed by police. Many said they hope to leave.

Linked with Morsi backers

Two weeks before the coup, Morsi delivered a fiery condemnation of Assad and vowed to support the Syrian revolution — words that proved unpopular at home.

Since Morsi’s ouster, Egyptian television channels have reported that pro-Morsi sit-ins have been packed with Syrians. Some outlets attributed both the Syrian uprising and the rise of Morsi in Egypt to an American plot to destabilize the region. Government officials said the Brotherhood was “exploiting Syrian refugee youth” in its struggle against “the Egyptian people.”

Obama appeals to public to back US mly force in Syria

This might be the end of the Zionists once and for all.

France Backs off Support for Syrian Strike

France backed away Friday from joining the U.S. in swift military action against Syria, isolating President Obama even more as he threatens limited strikes on the Damascus regime for its alleged use of chemical weapons.

Obama hints he may abandon Syria strike

President Barack Obama hinted Friday that he might not strike Syria if Congress rejects his authorization request.

“I’m not itching for military action… and if there are good ideas that are worth pursuing, then I’m going to be open to them,” he told one reporter who asked if he was seeking alternatives to a missile strike.

Syrian,

Thanks very much.

All the while, Asma is celebrating the birthday of her alive child. 11,000 Syrian children were butchered by Assad since the beginning of the revolution.

http://syrianobserver.com/News/News/Asma+Celebrating+Daughters+Birthday+A+Slap+in+the+Face+for+Syrians

What a great family the Assads are. So caring. They love Syria more than they love themselves.

Armed men who are dying in Syria are called criminals or martyrs based on who is talking, I prefer to call them victims, except for foreign jihadists. This war needs to end even if that leads to the partition or semi partition of Syria. One has to ask what those victims from Bab Amr ( 7 of them) were doing when they stormed the little Christian town of maloula and who sent them to their unnecessary death. The cowardly attack on maloula did a lot of harm to the rebels cause and they gained nothing from it. Rebels did not only killed 8 soldiers they also killed and kidnapped 8 civilians, their names were published today. Western and local reports blamed Islamists for the attack, as usual the FSA is trying to take credit for something they did not do, it was a nusra terrorist who dentonated himself inside a car full of explosives that started the senseless attack on maloula, the news of the invasion of that Christian town angered so many Christians all over the world, the regime could not have done a better job in portraying rebels as Christians hating violent thugs.

“Hopeful do you understand how idiotic you sound by admitting, that Iraq was total mess and then demanding actions against Syria using much of the same “reasoning” which were used in Iraq invasion. What guaranties can USA give that Syria will not become a even bigger mess than Iraq was. It can’t. The only guaranty USA can give is to its own military industry, that their turnover and profits will increase. The chance to limit the war from USA’s side to a couple of days cruise missile “lesson” are naive.”

First, where did you see in my post a “demand” for action against Syria? My point was that if an action happens, I will blame the regime for it first and foremost.

Second, yes Iraq was a mess, for all the reasons I stated in the post (which starts with Saddam), but that does not mean all military interventions will end up in a mess. I believe Kosovo and Bosina were successful and much-needed interventions.

Thirdly, of course there is no guarantee that things will be better after the strike. But I will rephrase what one young man in Syria once told me: there is no guarantee that things will get better after the revolution wins, but at least we will have a chance to try to make things better. Before the revolution, the only guarantee we had was that things WILL NEVER be better under this regime.

The White House’s Syria secrets

John Kerry was making his “beyond a reasonable doubt” case against Syria’s Bashar Assad last Wednesday when he gave lawmakers a bit of faulty intelligence.

“Just today, before coming in here, I read an email to me about a general, the minister of defense, former minister or assistant minister, I forget which, who has just defected and is now in Turkey,” the secretary of state testified before the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “And there are other defections that we are hearing about because of the potential that we might take action.”

A few minutes later, Kerry revised his account: This official-sounding “email” was actually a Reuters news account about a former defense minister based on a claim by the Syrian opposition. “Reuters has now said the Syrian government is saying the defection has not taken place,” Kerry said. “So who knows whether it has or hasn’t?”

Who knows?!!!

This is the problem with the case the Obama administration is making for attacking Syria.

Estimates of collateral damage? “Lower than a certain number which I would rather share with you in a classified setting,” Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told lawmakers.

Response of the Arab and Muslim countries? “This is something I’d be happier discussing in greater detail with you in the closed session,” Kerry said.

Safeguards to keep military action limited? “We can talk about that in a closed session,” Dempsey said.

How would Russia and other Syrian allies respond to a U.S. strike? “We all agree that that would be best handled in a classified session,” Kerry said.

No, we don’t all agree.

Arming the Syrian opposition? That “would require a closed or classified hearing.”

The broad effects of the military strike? “I would prefer to speak out in a classified setting.”

Could Hezbollah have chemical weapons? “We need to talk about that in our classified session.”

Would allies join an attack? It “would not be appropriate to speak about in an unclassified setting.”

Could an attack make Assad use chemical weapons again? “I urge you to go to the classified briefing.”

At Wednesday’s hearing, Kerry said that “beyond a reasonable doubt, the evidence proves that the Assad regime prepared this attack.”

He then dangled this: “In an appropriate setting, you will learn additional evidence which came to us even today.”

But isn’t it “appropriate” for the American public to see some hard evidence? During Tuesday’s Senate hearing, Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., asked for the administration to “declassify a higher percentage of the information that we have so the American people and the international community can see it.”

Kerry said that the amount declassified is “unprecedented” and that what’s out there now is “sufficient.”

He may think so. But it’s not sufficient until the American public believes it.

Jumanah gives McCain a piece of her mind:

#443 Syr.Expat

Of course the regime will shell the rebels, hit the churches, and blame the rebels for destroying Maaloula. These idiots are handing the regime a great PR victory, at a time when Obama needs to rally public opinion to support his intervention in Syria. The people who decided to “invade” Maaloula now are either complete morons or are idiots used by the regime to do exactly that.

Many on this board do not like it when I criticize the rebels and opposition. But I have to agree that one reason this struggle has taken so long is because of the mistakes the opposition has made throughout the past 2.5 years. Assad said in his latest interview that he would not discuss/debate his own mistakes until after the war is over. I believe the opposition should do much better and debate its mistakes publicly and openly – starting with tolerating the foreign jihadists and their insane ideology.

Who are the victims of the chemical attack?

The videos clearly show faces of many of the victims of the attack:

Has anyone come across any web articles. blog posts, facebook pages, youtube videos, etc., identifying any of these victims?

At the G-20, Obama’s Syria Efforts Take a Hit as Putin Gains Support

The clearest blow to U.S. coalition-building at the summit came from the leaders of the E.U. In a briefing on Thursday afternoon, European Commission President José Manuel Barroso said the Syrian conflict was a “stain on the world’s conscience,” but stressed that the E.U. believes in a “political solution” to the crisis. Standing beside him, E.U. President Herman van Rompuy drove this point home. “There is no military solution to the Syrian conflict. Only a political solution can end the terrible bloodshed,” he said. Of all E.U. members, he added, “only France is ready to cooperate” with the U.S. on a military strike. So Europe’s joint statement at the G-20 would urge the U.N. Security Council to deal with the crisis politically, he said, echoing a point that Putin has long been making.

Hopeful just make up names. That’s the whole idea.

People of the US hate McCain. You see it at his town hall meetings. He is an evil man.

Hopeful,

So far the VDC has compiled a list of 620 names with corresponding pictures identifying the martyrs, the list is updated weekly.

BILD, one leading german newspaper has today published an interesting article.
They have summoned some information which leaked last weeks briefing of the parliament.

The german espionage ship “Oker” has collected phone calls between local military commanders and the high command in Syria. The commanders asked according to the report many times for a chemical attack on rebel hold areas, such pleas were always declined, also the order for the 21st of August attack was probably not given by Assad himself.

The german intelligence chief Gerhard Schindler (BND) has given a briefing for the security council of the german Parliament last week. Asked by the politicians whether we witness the end battle in Syria now, he used the comparison of Stalingrad.

“For the rule of the Alawite minority in Syria, which Assad belongs to, Damascus has a similarly high symbolic meaning as Stalingrad was for the Soviet Union under Stalin.”
Asked how long the war could long, he answered: “that could go on for years.”

Reve

you should rejoice, the Nazis are demonstrating nowadays for Assad here- just a handful, but hey, we can make a bargain, I organize an flyout to happy basharland for these d***heads.

your comment is a chronic condition of madness
The west is suffering from hysteria and blockage in the awareness and Bankruptcy!

I do hope the world will take this momentum of against any foreign military strike and intervention and elevate it to a powerful drive to end the war. At least give peace a chance.

The biggest hurdle is US policy. Its hitman in GCC and Turkey can be reined in just by pulling the leashes. John Kerry has been very vocal of hard-lined approach on Syria. His ambition is like a kite flying high. Yet his clumsy personal characters and conscience is like wild hog keeping wallowing in mud. His belligerent and vile obsession of military prowess contradicts his appointed role as someone in charge of foreign affairs of the most powerful country in the world. That kind of mindset even shocks Dempsey who is in charge of military affairs of US.

Only a moderate SOSD replacing Kerry might be able to make progress on Syria crisis.

We dare those handful leaders defy the united calls for Hands off Syria. This time people will win. And this will have long lasting impact and influence on modern history.

Syrian rebels post image of burning U.S. Capitol

As debate grows over the extremism of some armed factions battling to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime, an incendiary illustration on the Facebook page of one such group leaves little doubt where its leaders envision the uprising ending – with masked Islamic fighters marching through Washington, D.C., as the U.S. Capitol burns in the background.

The image is one of eight photos posted on the official Facebook page of the “Al-Aqsa Islamic Brigades,” a small armed Sunni rebel faction fighting with the Free Syrian Army, the main umbrella military organization of the opposition forces. Two other photos posted on the group’s page feature the widely recognized black flag of the al Qaeda in Iraq terrorist group, which operates freely in Syria.

If i only had a penny for each time a mouthpiece blabbered this pathetic schizophrenic phrase, ir one of its endless variations, i would be able to finance a full cycle of US election. And perhaps there will be left-over to buy most of the senior officials in Russia.

Perhaps the agent cares to explain why is Russia trying so desperately to catch up with the “bankrupt west”?.

I disagree. This has nothing to do with Israel and Iran. Congress simply does not see Syria as something that affect the national security of the United States. Assad never threatened Israel in any meaningful way, and he is now reaping a reward in Congress who does not see him as a threat to the US. Iran, on the other hand, had directly threatened to wipe Israel off the map, and at the same time is developing nuclear weapons. Israel’s security affects directly the US’s national security, and therefore you will see a completely different response when it comes to that issue.

Having said that, Congress always only considers short-term national security issues, whereas the President considers both the long-term and the global responsibility of the United States as a super power. This is exactly why Clinton decided to go ahead and attack the Serbs in Kosovo despite both Congress’s and the Public’s opposition. Those lessons will not be lost on Obama.

I am hearing/reading rumors that there is behind-the-scene diplomacy and deal making regarding a settlement. I do hope it is the case. A serious threat of attack sometimes bear more fruit than the attack itself. I do not wish for the attack to happen, for the sake of Syria and for the sake of the US, but the “paralysis” on the ground has to be shaken, and I am 100% sure that it is the regime who committed this atrocity. (Just so that you do not jump on it, I am not claiming that the rebels did not commit other atrocities – perhaps chemical ones too – but not this one. Credit for this one goes to Assad’s thugs).

If Obama attacks, I support him, both as a US citizen and as a Syrian citizen.

With every post from APPLE_MINI I hear a voice wistfully, longingly singing the song of the Damascus bourgeoisie. The people depicted here:

Little Apple, you and all those others have to move on.

strong words from Rafik Schami

“In the chaos, the dictatorship is the best organized force. ”

Rafik Shami was born in 1946 in Damascus. In 1971 he moved to Germany and studied chemistry in 1979 and put his doctorate. Today he lives in Marnheim (Pfalz). He is one of the most important German language authors. His work has been translated into 27 languages. Since 2002, Rafik Shami is a member of the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts.

translated:

“The Syrian people wanted to breathe free, only live without fear. Forty years, the Assad clan enslaved and robbed the country. The West looked to not only but also helped with technical and military means, so that the regime remained as it was. Poison gas, internet technology, listening devices, missiles and advanced weapons would never have been possible without Russia, China and the West in the hands of the regime.

Since the first shot at protesters and a half years have passed. Meanwhile, the revolution has gone into a civil war. Revolutions suddenly come into the world, but they are slowly dying. Only the people rebelled six months peacefully, then soldiers split from the Syrian army and protected the demonstrators, then poured different groups of Islamists added to take advantage of the favorable moment, the largest group itself has contributed to the regime to do so. Islamist prisoners were released and armed to the intelligence so that they lead to confusion, division and chaos.”

HOPEFUL, a voice of sanity.

Reason.

Realism.

Optimism.

Stay with us.

– We must keep faith with millions of people in Arab world who want the dignity & freedom we have in our country.

– What want is a transitional gov drawn from the regime & opposition & the introduction of democracy in Syria.

Above are the latest tweets from the British Foreign Office (https://twitter.com/foreignoffice)

Now, let’s hear the brilliant and inspiring thoughts on offer from the Russian and Iranian Foreign Affairs Ministries.

Waiting, waiting …. the world is waiting.

To hear more of the dark, destructive and deadend vision these foreign totalitarian “governments” have for Syria.

JUERGEN,
Rafik Schami’s point of view on the role of the regime in arming the terrorist gangs and using them as its extension has also been considered, in details, in OTW’s recent post on WALLS

In the meantime, anyone heard much about the reported dramatic increase in suicide among die-hard loyalist soldiers in assad’s army?

Wall Street Journal correspondent Adam Entous said in an interview with Democracy Now TV on Friday that Prince Sultan is already leading a covert campaign with the CIA to support the Takfiri militants operating in Syria.

/And perhaps there will be left-over to buy most of the senior officials in Russia./

These are the limits of the Western mentality!
Hamad and came after him Bandar missionaries from the United States and the result is clear to you! You have people sold and bought and track your history in this backward mentality!

So Apple Mini wants to oust John Kerry, next Apple will ask to replace Obama.

Hands Off Syria needs to shut up

10913 children slaughtered by Assad since the start of the revolution.  Among them 2305 were below age 10.  530 children were either summarily executed or slaughtered with knives.  9000 children below age 18 were arrested by the regime.  Lots of them were tortured.  79 died of torture.  Torture method used were similar to the ones used on adults such us causing rib fractures, pouring boiling oil on the skin, cutting the ears off, and using metallic forceps to remove human flesh.

Kou Kou !!!
Turkish and British fighters were alerted and went to the borders of Syria. The reason for departure were unidentified planes …

As expected, given enough time the lies and exaggeration provided by US administration are gradually exposed and debunked, in particular those hypes and shameless claims done by John Kerry.

In the last several days, some main stream media started to publish doubts about the direct link between Assad and his inner core to the CW attack in Ghouta.

Today intel picked up by German intelligence was reported and it clears the connection.

My personal guess is that some rogue commander in SAA ordered the attack and even that was miscalculated. Hence we saw heavy casualties among civilians.

Nevertheless, we do hope the culprit will be held responsible and be punished.

Kerry and US government deliberately omit the arguments whether Assad is directly responsible. They intentionally blur the lines to demonstrate the chain of commands in order to serve their agenda.

The moral obscenity of US government just keeps piling up.
