The Pentagon, CIA and members of Congress are pushing for covert and overt US infiltration to topple the Syrian government -- a goal recently embraced by al Qaeda. With US knowledge, Al-Qaeda fighters also helped to destabilize Libya. After Gadhafi was killed, an al-Qaeda flag was raised over the rebel stronghold of Benghazi. Al-Qaeda-in-the-Islamic-Maghreb call themselves the "main beneficiaries" of NATO's Libyan war, noting specifically their receipt of captured weapons. Al-Qaeda: unlikely US ally.
(February 13, 2012) -- Mere days after US officials leaked intelligence that al-Qaeda's branch in Iraq has been infiltrating Syria to conduct terrorism, arm the opposition, and take advantage of the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad, al-Qaeda's #1 Ayman al-Zawahiri condemned the Assad regime and urged support for the opposition.
Simultaneously, a growing number of influential members of Congress have openly advocated aiding the rebel Free Syrian Army with weapons and training in order to facilitate the fall of Assad. The Pentagon and US Central Command are currently reviewing possible US military options against the Syrian regime.
And now a bipartisan group of Senators has attempted to legislate such action, introducing a resolution on Friday to that end . Excerpt from that resolution: "The Senate… urges the President to support an effective transition to democracy in Syria by identifying and providing substantial material and technical support, upon request, to Syrian organizations that are representative of the people of Syria, make demonstrable commitments to protect human rights and religious freedom, reject terrorism, cooperate with international counterterrorism and nonproliferation efforts, and abstain from destabilizing neighboring countries." Oddly enough, this is not the first time in recent memory that the leadership in the US has explicitly advocated merging US policy with al-Qaeda's goals. From early on in the NATO mission to aid the Libyan rebels and oust Muammar Gadhafi, it was known that many of those so-called "freedom fighters " had ties to al-Qaeda.
In fact, US intelligence found that al-Qaeda fighters had swarmed to Libya and tried to "drum up extremist activities ." After Gadhafi was killed, an al-Qaeda flag was raised in the center the rebel stronghold of Benghazi . Following that, al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) publicly called themselves the "main beneficiaries " of the instability caused by the NATO war, noting specifically their receipt of weapons. Aside from all of the terror and abuse the newly empowered National Transitional Council has brought the people of Libya in the form of murder, theft, torture and thuggery , they and their varied militias have also been imposing a harsh brand of militant Islam on Libyans, as opposed to the democratic paradise Obama predicted. I'm not suggesting a conspiracy theory, just plain stupidity.
As I've explored elsewhere , while I'm no stranger to Imperial Grand Strategy, I think the system operates in a way such that backward policies are carried out even when many elites recognize they're against the "national interest." The real question is how nobody is calling them out on it. Joe Lieberman has just recently called the Syrian rebels "brave freedom fighters" almost synchronous with Ayman al-Zawahiri. How is this not headline news? Update: What was I thinking: only criticisms of government policy can be described as "enabling al-Qaeda ." That charge of course doesn't apply to actually advocating the same policies as al-Qaeda. The majority of the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution this week, calling on Syria's President to end the oppostion crackdown, and give up power. Russia and China are against the move, and want the rebels to also lay down weapons and join talks.It's a year since the uprising started and Damascus is vowing to reform, even as the killing continues. And a top U.S. intelligence chief has admitted that Al-Qaeda could be operating in Syria. That's led political analyst Kamel Wazne to conclude that Washington is getting friendly with terrorists.
Real Shocking Crimes caught on camera: "Warning Graphic."
What your mainstream media never tell you: Marvel at the al-Jazeera film crew whipping the crowd to hysteria. This is what most UK/american mainstream media do ; get the crowds TO ACT for the cameras. Ever noticed the STAGED gun shots or in-the-lens chanting? It's all fake, staged propaganda for the liars at Sky/ITN/BBC?CNN/Fox. اسامہ بن لادن ہلاکओसामा बिन लादेन को मार डाला قتل أسامة بن لادن Oussama Ben Laden tué Osama Bin Laden getötet Usama bin Ladin dödas DURBAN, South Africa -- “No high hopes for Durban.” “Binding treaty unlikely.” “No deal this year.” Thus ran the headlines. The profiteering UN bureaucrats here think otherwise. Their plans to establish a world government paid for by the West on the pretext of dealing with the non-problem of “global warming” are now well in hand. As usual, the mainstream media have simply not reported what is in the draft text which the 194 states parties to the UN framework convention on climate change are being asked to approve.
Behind the scenes, throughout the year since Cancun, the now-permanent bureaucrats who have made highly-profitable careers out of what they lovingly call “the process” have been beavering away at what is now a 138-page document. Its catchy title is "Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-Term Cooperative Action Under the Convention -- Update of the amalgamation of draft texts in preparation of [one imagines they mean 'for'] a comprehensive and balanced outcome to be presented to the Conference of the Parties for adoption at its seventeenth session: note by the Chair.” In plain English, these are the conclusions the bureaucracy wants. The contents of this document, turgidly drafted with all the UN's skill at what the former head of its documentation center used to call “transparent impenetrability”, are not just off the wall – they are lunatic.
