Reuters Colludes With Terrorists By Disguising Them As “Rebels”
The British news agency Reuters seems to have difficulties distinguishing between various forms of militancy.
Thus it categorizes designated terrorists as "rebels".
July 1 2016 : Syria rebels retake key town in western coastal province: monitor, rebels
Insurgents seized a strategic town from Syrian government forces and their allies in the western coastal province of Latakia on Friday, a monitoring group and the rebels said, in a rare advance for them in the area. … Nusra Front said in an online statement that an alliance of Islamist rebel groups including itself had captured Kansaba and a number of other villages, seizing several tanks and artillery guns.
The Nusra Front is Al Qaeda's organization in Syria. Two UN Security Council resolutions call on all UN members to "eradicate" the terrorist organization's safe havens.
July 10 2016: Iran says Saudis back terrorism after senior prince attends rebel rally
(Reuters) – Iran on Sunday accused Saudi Arabia of backing terrorism after a senior Saudi prince, a former intelligence chief, addressed a Paris rally held by exiled Iranian rebels and told them he wanted the Iranian government to fall. … The rally addressed by Prince Turki al-Faisal on Saturday was held by the political wing of the exiled People's Mujahideen Organisation of Iran (PMOI), which seeks the overthrow of Iran's clerical leadership established by the 1979 Islamic revolution.
With backing from Saudi money and extensive bribing in Washington DC the MEK managed to be taken down from the U.S. list of designated terrorists. But it has neither changed its aims nor its terrorist methods and clearly continues to deserve that label.
By disguising designated and well established terrorist groups as "rebels", not once but twice within a short time frame, Reuters colludes with these groups. This demonstrates that Reuters has serious problems with providing objective news.
Oui@23 – I use to respect Flynn on a lot of his positions, but I can’t accept vague promises of working with Russia when the guy spews Israeli-firster nonsense like this in front of the House Foreign Affairs Committee:
“Iran’s stated desire to destroy Israel is very real,” Flynn said and added that Iran has “contributed to the severe insecurity and instability of the region, especially the sub-region of the Levant surrounding Israel.”
Iranian clerics are prone to hyperbole. They’ve also threatened the destruction of the U.S. several thousand times, too. If Flynn’s IQ doesn’t permit him to understand the notion of hollow threats and saber-rattling by Iranian clerics, then I doubt he’s of any use to any administration. Iran hasn’t attacked anybody in the last half century.
And I would toss in a few zingers about some other nations that have “…contributed to the severe insecurity and instability of the region…” but most of you already know who they are. I don’t think Iran even makes the list.
Israel “sees its primary ally and patron becoming increasingly distant and a hostile power is rising against it, which may lead Israeli leadership to undertake increasing rash or desperate actions in an effort to secure immediate gains,” he said.
Oh Jesus… So the U.S. has to continue to spend billions (as we have for decades) to keep Israeli leadership from going crazy? No – I’m tired of this game. No more protecting Israel from it’s insane leaders. I say let them go berserk and maybe the rational, humane people in Israel will finally rise up and overthrow the Likudist nutjobs and their tyrannical, fascist apartheid regime. We should support the moderate Israeli rebels in that case, even if they chop a few Likudist heads.
“…Israel lives under the threat of total annihilation from Iran and other Islamic radical elements in the region [bolding is mine] — something the United States must never allow, nor should we deal equally with those who spew this type of hatred and bigotry. We would not stand for it here in this country and we should not stand for it elsewhere in the world where our closest friends are at risk…”
WTF other islamic elements – the moderate head-choppers and al Nusra that Israel aids and abets? No, I don’t think al Nusra is any threat to Israel (besides a drain on the military medical budget). So tossing in any imaginary Iranian threat with U.S. head-chopper threat is not only terribly flawed logic, but fails the basic sniff test, Flynn. Fail.
“…Iran’s leaders made it clear the furthest they will go is to allow international inspectors only ‘managed access’ to nuclear facilities, and only with significant prior notification. This makes it nearly impossible, as a matter of full transparency, to have real “eyes on” the state of Iranian nuclear development to include their missile program…”
If Flynn wants to be part of any administration, he should probably read the laws passed by Congress that prohibit U.S. taxpayer funding to any nation that covertly develops nuclear weapons. That would be Israel. Of course, they are always free to prove they don’t have nuclear weapons or a program for such, but then we would need “eyes on” the state of Israel and at least ‘managed access’ to nuclear facilities. How about this Flynn: we sanction Israel exactly like we sanction Iran until both of them allow access and verification. That seems fair. Oh, and Israel owes U.S. taxpayers upwards of $12 billion dollars in illegal aid so far. Aid to Israel that explicitly violated the laws of our nation, Flynn. Bibi: Write the check out to Paveway – I’ll make sure the money gets where it belongs. And no damn bitcoin or shekels.
“We, the United States of America, must comprehend that evil doesn’t recognize diplomacy and nations such as Iran will still maintain the intent of achieving nuclear weapon status.”
But Gen. Flynn, why wouldn’t Iran want nuclear weapons when faced with U.S. evil which doesn’t recognize diplomacy? Oh, wait – you meant….
