More Arms For Destroying Syria
As I wrote on September 30 2012 on the foreign supported insurgents in Syria:
Syria: Destruction Is Their Aim
…
Destruction of the infrastructure, economy and social fabric of Syria is their and their supporters aim.
Hizbullah’s Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah has come to the same conclusion (as translated by @Amani_Lebanon):
10:56 AM – 30 Apr 13 – #Nasrallah: When we look at the whole picture on Syria, israel’s position, and the recent happenings, we come to come conclusion:
10:57 AM – 30 Apr 13 – #Nasrallah: The aim is not just to get Syria out of the resistance axis, it’s not just about the Arab struggle against israel
10:58 AM – 30 Apr 13- #Nasrallah: Their aim is to completely destroy Syria, all of Syria, their aim is to make sure Syria becomes unable to stand on its feet.
10:59 AM – 30 Apr 13 – #Nasrallah: They want to destroy Syria as a people, an army, a whole nation
10:59 AM – 30 Apr 13 – #Nasrallah: They want to turn Syria into a starved, destroyed and torn one.
Today “officials” are telling U.S. papers that Obama is “moving toward sending lethal arms to Syrian rebels“.
This is just political theater. These papers are conveniently forgetting their own reporting on Syria. The destruction of Syria with the help of jihadist groups has been planned since 2007. The U.S. has been sending arms to the insurgents from the very beginning. It has also run an extensive media campaign to support the insurgency. The U.S. exports grain and other food as “aid” to Syria which is then distributed by extreme radical al-Nusra cells. The first arms to Syria came from the black market, then from Libyan stockpiles, then arms were flown in from Croatia. All by or through U.S. secret services. The deliveries were made by the CIA from its large station in Benghazi, as well as through its stations in Turkey and Jordan. The groups those arms went to were vetted by the CIA and there is evidence that these weapons have also gone to takfiri jihadists like Jabhat al-Nusra. There is definitely no reluctance in official U.S. circles to arm anyone, no matter how radical there polices are, who is willing to destroy Syria.
In the end it does not matter whether the arms the CIA delivers are coming from Libyan, Croatian or U.S. stocks. It does not matter to which groups these arms are flowing to. More arms will only have one effect. The further destruction of Syria which the U.S. had planned for from the very beginning of its campaign.

(This one first because it’s just a short remark)
With all – quite probably well reserved – respect for Sibel Edmonds I’m afraid her remarks are often not weighed correctly. She was if I’m not mistaken a translator at the fbi and it seems reasonable to assume that her access to information was rather limited. In the case that made her famous she *did* have access as she was one of the translators in charge if I remember correctly.

I don’t consider that optimism but rather a clear (as opposed to brainwashed) view.
First again: When I consider most (incl. many here) more or less brainwashed then I don’t mean that derising. I honestly can (based on my own experience growing up in Europe) understand that it’s a rather tough process to step by step, many of them shocking, break free from the brainwashing.
It’s a simple fact that zusa failed in Iraq as well as in Afghanistan. They failed in more than one respect; they failed intellectually, psychologically, financially, politically, and militarily.
When the whole post 9/11 bruhaha started the zusa was widely considered *the* superpower one better feared and didn’t provoke.
Today, the zusa *talks* (through their propaganda organs) of itself and considers itself, at least in the public image, but pretty nobody takes them serious.
Not to belittle Iraq but if zusa wasn’t capable to reach a clear and undisputed victory in a mid-size country that was shaken and weakened by a decade of crippling sanctions, then, excuse me, *whom* could they win against? Andorra?
Another, more recent point: zusa didn’t and doesn’t act as a superpower but almost shy concerning NK and even Syria.Nk didn’t give in an inch, yet zusa turned away and the matter is largely absent in the western media.
There are many reasons for that, maybe the most important one being that zusa lost its strength, values and their very core; today zusa is a nation that replaced content by ever more colourful packaging, values by ever more absurd language and political correctness and human qualities by quick (and usually dirty) deals.
Even their military *plays* hard, delivers a show but actually must install climate control systems, px stores and burger kings before they can send their soldiers in – where e.g. Russian forces get some tents and that’s about it. And all that for wars that are increasingly – and cowardly – fought remotely.
For what reason? Because they value, if not human life in general, at least the life of *their* citizens so much? Hardly. Just have a look at how they treat their maimed veterans. Like dirt.
For what reason did they let go the NK matter? Because they are so peace-loving? Hardly. Just look at du ammunition infested Iraq cities where infants are slowly and painfully dying.
It’s simple as chickenshit. zusa bet their house more and more on show because the contents were greedily sold. Even physically; just have a look at their gold reserves … they’ve got paper, not metal.
As they *really were* (once upon a time …) the superpower and as they did shape major parts of the western world, the majority of people still considers them mighty powerful. But they aren’t – if ones measure are facts and not words.
Basically their game was simple. What’s needed for power could be bought if one had the money. The money one had (and such an absurdly large military budget) if ones currency controlled the world. Ones currency controlled the world if one controlled what’s the liveblood of modern times, oil.
So, realizing that zusa had spent way more than they had and could have in the foreseeable future, bush senior, the old oilman arranged for his idiotic son to make the last effort to save the imperiums future by trying to bring the whole oil region under their control. Afghanistan seems to not fit the picture; it does, however, considering that with Afghanistan zusa had Iran, a major and resistant oil-nation in “pliers” between Iraq an Afghanistan (with some added bonuses).
And, you know what? It would quite probably have worked with obedient whores running Europe.
But then, about the same time george “brainless stalker” bush was illegaly put in his oval office, Putin came to power and completely changed the game.
Last point: Pretty much along their path of slowly realizing that the “american century” was coming to a premature end they started terrorizing their own citizens.
Reason? Dirty simple:
– if they don’t have the world as playground (and victim to suck their high incomes off) then it’ll be what they still control, their own country.
– second and more important, they understood that their interest not to find themselves strung at the next tree was indirectly proportional to the freedom of their citizens …
So, don’t expect much more than noise from zusa …
(Funny sidenote: Just these days kerry mentioned latin/southamerica being the neglected back yard of zusa. Sure with (Venezuela friendly) Brasil growing and gaining weight they will try to take of that. After all it would be pretty shameful if “those dark cornsuckers” (who have decades of reasons to detest americans) overtook zusa and in, say 15 years, zusa would be the “back yard”.
So they’ll try to repeat the jelzin-Russia model …
Well, don’t bet your money on zusa.
