“Our” Sunni Terrorists Are Fighting “Their” Hezbollah Terrorists
Right now inside Syria, Hezbollah terrorist fighters – backed by the Syrian government, Iran and Lebanon – are fighting Al Qaeda, Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood terrorist fighters – backed by the U.S., Israel, the Eurozone, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
BBC reports:
The military chief of the main umbrella group of Syrian rebels … claimed that more than 7,000 fighters of the Lebanese Shia movement [Hezbollah ] were taking part in attacks on the rebel-held town of Qusair.
The French foreign minister has estimated the number at 3,000-4,000.
***
Hezbollah fighters have been in Syria for some time now but their numbers appear to have grown rapidly over the last few weeks ….
Not only did the U.S., Israel and Saudi Arabia largely create, sponsor and fund Al Qaeda, but also two other groups fighting on the side of the Syrian rebels: Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
This is a proxy war.
As we’ve documented in detail, the U.S., Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and their allies back the Sunni jihadists against Shia Muslims. Indeed, the U.S. is involved in a religious war – between the two factions of Islam (and is actually backing the most violent elements) – as part of a geopolitical strategy to exert control over the natural gas market.
BBC notes:
[There is] growing concern in the US that the conflict in Syria is morphing into a complex regional war by proxy.
ABC News reports:
Hezbollah and Al Qaeda fighters edging closer to full scale confrontation
***
Syria’s conflict is often described as a “civil war,” but that is only true insofar as it has yet to spill over into another country on a large scale or draw in too many different forces. But it is the quintessential proxy war, with the Alawite (an offshoot of Shia Islam) Assad regime backed up by Shia allies Hezbollah and Iran, as well as Russia and China.
The Sunni rebels are supported by the Islamist rulers of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey, as well as the U.S., France, Britain and others.

In December, Syrian rebels [i.e. Sunnis] burned down a Shiite mosque in northern Idlib province. Fighting between Hezbollah and Jabhat al-Nusra is being waged closer and closer to the Zeinab shrine. Shiite villages are coming under attack by militants who praise Osama bin Laden and Sunni villagers are being slaughtered by regime loyalists. Sectarian fighting has already leaked across the border into northern Lebanon. [For example, Syrian rebels - Sunnis - apparently shelled Shiites inside neighboring Lebanon.] The stage has been set.
“When Hezbollah and Israel are both actively fighting in the same third country,” writes Ramy Khoury, a professor of international affairs at the American University of Beirut, “and Iran and the United States are both actively warning about their determination to act to protect their allies and their interests in that same third country, it is time to make another pot of coffee and make sure you have plenty of fresh batteries at home for your transistor radio.”
All people of good faith are calling for an end to all foreign soldiers and foreign weapons in Syria … be they from Iran, Lebanon and Russia, or the U.S., Israeli, Saudi Arabia and Europe.
Of course, the U.S. has been arming the Syrian opposition since 2006.
Indeed, American neoconservatives planned regime change in Syria 20 years ago … and considered carrying out acts of violence and blaming it on the Syrian government as an excuse for regime change was discussed over 50 years ago by British and American leaders.
But the answer is not to send more arms to “our” terrorists to fight “their” terrorists . The answer is for all sides to stop pouring gas on the fire, getting all foreign troops and arms out, and letting the Syrian people sort it out.

I've got no strings
To hold me down
To make me drone, or make me frown
I had strings
But now I'm free
cept this CIA wire on me
Hi-ho to Syrio
That's the only way to go
I want the world to know
No decison's ever made by me!
I can see why Russia is on war alert. No doubt Putin suspects the US will try to destabilise Russia as under Yeltsin. Looks like this proxy ar is running into the hard reality of Big Power weapons so Israel will certainly disappear from the scene.
There are reportedly 29 different groups in Syria with Chechens in abundance......no wonder Putin is watching the British-French-Qataris-Americans closely and training SVR troops and Special Forces plus sending another 10 MIG29s to Syria. I bet Russian satellites are already monitoring Israeli signals and movements ready for them to make the mistake that brings the US into the gunsights of China and Russia.
Israel has bitten off more than it can chew this time. Syria is a buffer state for Russia in containing problems in The Caucasus exacerbated by Saudi Arabia and the USA. Sibel Edmonds has some interesting insights on Boilingfrog
interesting that the hidden but real pivot point in this latest iteration of Risk is the Caucasus. again.
ever wonder why? is it the bees?
Dr. Nicolai Vasilievich Tsitsin, the USSR's chief biologist (and botanist) and an acknowledged expert on geriatrics, spent quite a few years pursuing the secrets of the many in what was the Soviet Union who live extraordinarily long lives. He visited the numerous small villages that dot the landscape high up in the Caucasus mountains, where the air is always clear and sweet. In summer, the breezes there are perfumed with the scent of thousands of wild flowers. The villagers work their small farms and tend their kitchen gardens without the dubious "benefits" of the space-age technologies employed by agribiz conglomerates. This is one of the few areas left in the world where the old ways still prevail.
The stalwart families who make their homes in the mountainous regions of the former Soviet Union are some of the most long-lived people in the world. On examination, many exhibit signs of "silent" heart disease, scars of "silent" heart attacks that would have almost certainly been lethal to a modern man or woman. The hard physical work they do every day well into what some of us in the so-called civilized world consider old age plays a part in their remarkably healthy lifestyle.
Dr. Tsitsin was amazed to find more than 200 individuals over 125 years of age, all still working every day and participating actively in village life.
the okinawans live a similar life - in its simplicity. And they're the longest living group in the world. A wide variety of natural food, mostly vegetables and fruit and daily simple activity - low stress
jah mon
lessons for us all?
The lack of medical services in the Caucasus mountains is yet another demonstration of how people in Russia suffer. Perhaps someday they will have equivilent of the affordable health care act and receive modern medical treatment.
125?? This is a human rights outrage!
Those geezers need to be tracked down, hog-tied, immunized and put on cholesterol and blood-pressure controlling meds IMMEDIATELY!
Ignore their plight, and their blood will be on your hands.
If you mange to outlive them...
well said. If I were a betting man, I'd say Putin is better at these games than our "politician"
I posted 2 articles by F. William Engdahl from voltairnet.org on another thread. Speaks to Graham Fuller, ex CIA agent devising a strategy to use islamists to destabalize the Caucasus after driving the Soviets out of Afghanistan. Mr. Fuller was also a father-in-law to the uncle of the Boston bombing suspects.
Voltairenet.org has been posting stories of neocon proxy army defeats for over 2 months. Not what you and I were being feed by the boot lickers in the MSM.
If GW wasn't so obsessed with hating Israel and America, he'd be able to write a nice story about how Hezbollah is acting exactly like Israel and America. Hezbollah has convinced their followers that it's better to fight the war "over there" in Syria than in Lebanon. Gee, where have I heard that before???? I also like how GW takes out the argument that Iranians are just sweet and innocent and don't hurt anyone since he too admits that Iran is at war in Syria.
yeah didn't you hate it when Iran invaded mexico, built the biggest embassy in the world, staged 100,000 troops and took all their natural resources
No one is sweet and innocent but some push more hard candy than others. wake up
I heard the IDF is looking for a few good Zionist foot soldiers.
It's not about hating America. If you want to start a regional war with your neighbors, knock yourself out. We're broke.
GW,
I was reading an article on voltairenet.org concerning the history of neoconservatism. Not sure if you've read the piece but there was one quote in the piece concerning W's father. W's father made a comment about the lobbying efforts of neocons to force him into war with Iraq. A comment was made by some neocon on Sept. 12, 1991. Interesting that 10 years to the day, Sept. 11, 2001 happens and W is dragged into the neocon war. You can infer 911 was an inside job by the Mossad and CIA.
I was wondering why all these scandals broke on the IRS when Democrats and Republicans knew the TEA party was being targeted back in 2010 and 2012. It's no secret the TEA Party is held in contempt by the fascists on the Red and Blue teams. I saw an article on Weekly Standard yesterday on IRS targeting Neocon tax exempt groups. Barry crossed the wrong people and all hell breaks loose.
Isaish Chapter 17 versus 1 - 10 give a clear indication of the fate of Damascus and Israel.
How much $ does McCain stand to make off the Syrian war?
they let him live and keep his secrets
Mc Cain was there to get his cut of the ransom....
Better to say the terrorists supporting the plans for world domination and public enslavement by the crimínal cartel ruling the west are fighting the terrorists oposing the criminal cartel and supporting the interests of the general public in the west. That way I don't feel guilty in hoping the bankster funded terrorists lose.
Stop being dumbasses? Like that will ever happen.
"What you mean, "WE", whitemen?" Tonto to the Lone Ranger on seeing thousands of Indians heading toward them, and the Lone ranger stating : "We are in serious trouble".
I believe the line was, "What do you mean WE, paleface?"

The new season of Arrested Development is out finally, duh.
What story?
It's exactly the cowardly method of operation The Golbal Criminal Cabal Oligarch Bankster Intelligence Crime Syndicate uses toward anyone that may " Illuminate" the masses.
These coward vermin, cockroaches hate to have the light turned on them. The truth is their (The States) greatest enemy.
Fuck you, George, Hizballah are not terrorists.
I thought we were on the side of the Shia's in Iraq? What happened there? And what about Egypt and the MB? We're friends with them now that they killed our Ambassador and his security detail in broad daylight and on the anniversary of 9/11? Huh? Really? And where is that peace process that has been the lodestar of our foreign policy since Vietnam and the USA being an honest broker? "everyone just go home now"? Give me a break. Russia versus EU is an interesting twist and turn. Didn't see that one coming. Hmmm. And what is Spain up to? We already know what's on France's mind. This stuff really doesn't seem all that complicated to me as of yet...though it sure can become that way. "start laying keel" I say...and pray for peace. Obviously the USA is not pursuing a defensive posture in Mali (with France and Nigeria as bosom buddies?) anywho these things can really move quickly...so far what stands out is how softly the USA has spoken for the duration of this conflict to date.
"Let's you and him fight!"
Oldest trick in the book.
I thought Dog-fighting was illegal.
