Russian MP Accuses U.S. Of Fabricating Syrian Chemical Weapons Report
Following yesterday's "news" that the US is rerunning the Iraq invasion script has been busy collecting made up solid evidence proving the Syrian government has used chemical weapons, which it would use as a basis for yet another foreign intervention including a no-fly zone and arming the Syrian rebels (just to accelerate the passage of a Qatari natgas pipeline into Europe, bypassing Gazprom, and installing another puppet Muslim Brotherhood government in the Mid-East), the entire world waited with bated breath to learn what Russia's response, and remember to Russia Syria is a key geopolitical outpost and critical national interest, to US allegations would be.
The wait was short-lived. As Novosti reports at least someone, somewhere has had the guts to call out this farce of an intervention from an official standpoint: "A US government report concluding Syria has used chemical weapons against rebels, crossing what US President Barack Obama has previously described as a “red line,” is a fabrication, a senior Russian lawmaker said Friday. "Information about the usage of chemical weapons by Assad is fabricated in the same way as the lie about Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.” Alexei Pushkov, head of the Russian lower house of parliament’s international affairs committee, said on Twitter.
The truth-telling continues:
President Obama “is going the same way” as former President George W. Bush did then, Pushkov said.
Pushkov is known for also being quite a truth-teller in the past. From June of 2012:
I think that what we had been hearing from the US is very partial. Somehow the US thinks that the only source of civil war in Syria is the government, which is not the case. There are 33 thousand people who are fighting the Syrian government, and they’re fighting the Syrian government with heavy weapons, not just Kalashnikovs and pistols. It’s heavy machine guns, it’s anti-tank guns and all of this armament was on display when a ship coming from Libya full of US weapons was arrested in Lebanon. On the photos you can see what kind of armament was sent to the insurgents. It’s Syrian force which has been trained outside of Syria. Some of them are really professional fighters. There’s some information about people who have been fighting in Libya, now are fighting on the side of the insurgents. I think that the US had better look at what kind of people they try to support there and what these people will bring to Damascus. Until now Syria was a secular country where different ethnicities and different religious factions were living in peace and for many years, - that’s very valuable. You have Christians, Sunnis, Alawis, Druze, Kurds and quite a few other groups. And if all of this explodes, I don’t think that we’ll have 10 thousand victims, we’ll have maybe 100 thousand victims. Russia wants to prevent this explosion. What we hear from our Western partners is that Assad should go and they are willing to support the insurgency. But supporting the insurgency, they are basically throwing oil into the flame. That is why Russia suggested having international conference where we can try to find the solution that would be proposed to both sides in the Syrian conflict. The key Russian position is that we are ready to influence Assad’s government, but the West should influence the insurgents. Otherwise it will not work out.
Do you think that the Western media was unfairly portraying Russia?
I think one of the reasons the West has been so critical about Russia in the Syrian issue is that the West doesn’t have the policy at all towards Syria. I’m not pretending that Russia has the answers, but Russia fulfills a very important role for the Western media. By this could not criticize their own governments for not having any kind of solutions. Because the only political program the West has is that Assad should go. OK, what happens after Assad goes? How the regime falls? Who will come in its place?
Is Russia prepared for that situation?
Russia is ready to look for answers together with Western countries. And we don’t accept this kind of criticism. And we don’t accept this kind of mythology that insurgents are poor foreign people. Because we know very well that they have been financed and armed by monarchies of the Persian Gulf. They don’t even hide this fact and I hardly see a situation where democracy in Syria will be established with the help of Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
And finally there have been some accusation that Russian foreign policy towards Syria is driven by its business interests. How do you respond to that?
I think that the most important thing is not business. Syria doesn’t play such a huge role in Russian foreign trade. The key factor in the Russian position is a very clear stand against the so-called regime change, against the so-called humanitarian intervention. We think that the Libyan example showed that these kinds of interventions lead to chaos and to the creation of a parallel international law: when you have a UN charter and at the same time you have some kind of parallel law which is being conducted by either friends of Syria or the Coalition of the Willing, something which goes around the UN rules or charters. We don’t want to accept a world where there would be another international law instead of internationally accepted one. Syria is just a very serious example of the Russian desire to fight for international law which is universally accepted.
Ah, the new normal: when Russia is telling the truth, and the USSA is openly lying.
Things will get more interesting when instead of using a proxy to tell the world how he feels, Putin actually takes the microphone in one of his signature brutally candid exposes. Also being former KGB, who knows just what revelations he may bring to the table regarding claims of prior "humanitarian" US interventions around the world, liberating so much crude oil from the heathen natives.
Things will get most interesting when the Russian armada currently stationed in Cyprus and swimming around in the Mediterranean, decides to park in the Russian naval base in Tartus. Because last we checked it was a no-fly zone, not a no-sail zone...

Just like Hitler's army all said we were just doing what we were told, the military is complicit in the crimes of this administration
Need more popcorn and vodka BRB.
Time for a refresher course for newcomers.
The Muslim Brotherhood existed during WW2. They were allies of NAZI Germany.
After WW2, MI6 took over the MB intel network, eventually sharing/turning it over to the CIA.
Out of the MB and the teachings of guys like Al-Zawahiri, guys like Osama bin Laden took up the Cause.
Zawahiri and bin Laden were/are and always have been assets of the CIA/MI6.
"Al Qaeda," or "The Base" of intel and operatives assembled in part by Shiek bin Laden have always been CIA/MI6 assets.
AQ is a most useful tool of the deep government (like GLADIO), to be used to achieve objectives in the interest of "TPTB" and are diametrically opposed to the actual interests of Free Peoples Everywhere.
Apologies to those already in the know, so to speak.
**********
The primary reason to keep that guy Ben Ghazi out of the news is that common awareness by Citizens that their 'government' was supplying assorted weaponry to the MB/AQ would create a problem since AQ also 'took down' the WTC on 9/11. Such knowledge becoming a common awareness would remove all authority of the current Regime, who are also planning to crush what's left of Feedomz via the New Army (DHS).
Carry on.
You should write a book about it. Just one word of caution: don't forget the footnotes ...
"who are also planning to crush what's left of Feedomz via the New Army (DHS)."
Not gonna happen. DHS is largely made up of people like Deerhunter's family (see post above). So is the military. If anything, it will be the other way around. DHS and the military will crush the Fascist Nazis in D.C. and Wall Street before they crush ordinary people who are their mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, friends, and relatives who are all hurting as a result of the Fascist Nazis in D.C. and Wall Street.
Wishful thinking. The vast majority will do as they are told, just as the NSA, CIA, FBI, and all of the rest of the alphabet-soup agencies already do.
Seriously. It's like these people think Soviet Russia never happened. Communist China under Mao ... never happened. Nazi Germany ... nope. Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge ... never heard of it. American Civil War ... nope. For fuck's sake, even this farce in Egypt. The list goes on for about 100 pages...
You can count on the military to do the wrong thing, every time.
if that were the case DHS wouldn't be loading up on hollow-points. They already turned being IN DHS.
No, they are not like Deerhunter's family. They are trained by the machine of corruption and will follow that path.
Thank you. For those of us that know the background, It is always important to do an intro lesson every so often. Just on this post alone I counted about 3 people who said that they recently "Woke Up"
So the 101 courses need to be restated over and over.
Thanks again for the short review. It bears repeating.
I have a son-in-law and a nephew in the US military. Both have seen Iraq and Afghanistan. Both have seen things most here have been spared. Both went because it is what they signed up for. Both have returned and asked why??? When we hand out candy to children of the men trying to kill us have we lost the art of war??? When we spend ten years and gallons of American blood with no end game in sight have we lost any focus. Was there any focus to begin with??? I am all for red, white and blue when it stands for what we average Americans stand for. We are beginning to see it all unravel. The enemy is within. We are not sheep, we are men. For twenty years we have been trying to turn our boys and young men in our schools into girls with ritalin when they won't sit still in class. When they would rather look out the windows of the classroom or punch their buddy in class. When they play cowboys and indians in the playground. Are there any men left in our country??? Would any men in here stand by while 3 crazy men behead a soldier in broad daylight? You can only die physically once. Our country has been dying by degree for 30 years. I have family in the military. They do not need to die in some God forsaken desert in Syria, not today, not tomorrow, not ever. They are a husband to my youngest daughter and a son of my younger sister. We have met the enemy and it is us. We need to keep our mouths shut no longer.
my dad is buried at Calverton, he was at Omaha, Ardennes, many other battles going into Germany, As an army brat i wished he was still alive to talk to but now I am glad he is not here to see this sick shit , it would have broke his heart
My dad was at Guadalcanal for 18 months. I understand exactly what you're saying.
My grandfather died in the service of this sountry. They said he was protecting freedom. They lied, just as they are lying today to the loved ones of those kids they send away to be killed.
They have been lying 100% since 1913. SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH its a big conspiracy secret.
Halfway thru this book, " From Dictatorship to Democracy" by Gene Sharp
http://www.amazon.com/Dictatorship-Democracy-Gene-Sharp/dp/1846688396/re...
It's about pursuing democracy using peaceful techniques and avoiding any violent action against authoritarian and dictatorship governments.
Author says it's a bloody road fighting against a gov backed by superior military.
Food for thought, 'cus this totally corrupt system is coming down.
starve the Beast.........short the Machine.........
.....plant your seeds
.......then dance the hokey pokey
Your relatives were all duped by the jew supremacists:
1) they got the US into WWI in a deal that Britain would turn over Palestine to them and they would use their control over Woodrow Wilson and the media to get the US into the war on Britain's side-even as Germany was proposing peace and a return to the pre WWI borders.
2) Then they got the into WWII by provoking and duping Japan into attacking Pearl Harbor.
Torah, Torah, Torah?
Calm down, nobody is talking about boots on the ground ... yet
"Lost any Focus".... The machine has plenty of focus, but it is their focus for their interests. Men and sheep just sit back and watch them take what they want.
Its time to take back our country from the Fascist Nazis in D.C. and Wall Street.
Say when.
We can call the war QE4

Why is it I tend to believe the Russians over Obama?
Found www.RT.com a couple of years ago - a main source of news for me now.
And, on their cable channel they have the Max Keiser show.
I'm reserving judgement on this until I hear from our pal Boris.
Word has it he and Putin trade notes on Russian gymnasts.
It is a lose-lose situation. Stand by the sidelines and watch another 100.000 die or intervene and have islamic extremists take over. You choose.
How many would have died if America had stayed out and never supported the opposition? This conflict would havelikely never grown to what it has become without US involvement, not to mention McCain on the ground trying to add more fuel to the fire.
Don't forget Russia's support for Assad. Puppets, puppeteers.
Assad is the [twice] elected leader of the country. Supporting the overthrow of an elected leader is a terrorist act, or an act of uprovoked war ... take your pick. Russian support of an elected leader is irrelevant.
Get your nose out of other people's business - unless a majority of those people petition for your help.
Oh come on. 'Elected' leader is what you should call him.
And don't accuse me of taking sides, please. I explicitly did not.
Nearly all 'democratic' elections are a sham (with both 'contestants' pre-selected by Bilderberg, or other power brokers funded by global zionist banksters). Syria is no different. Using your terminology, JFK was an 'elected' leader ... and Shrub was an 'elected' leader. So what?
However, Syria is a secular muslim state which banned the face veil for women in universities in 2010 and the government has majority support among the people ... which is why it now faces an [unpopular] Al-CIAduh [Muslim Brotherhood] funded uprising, carried out by terrorists imported from Benghazi, rather than an oppressed popular opposition.
Your original post contained a false dichotomy, which is what prompted me to respond to your second post.
If Assad wins, that means there will be no fanatical Jihadis left and thus no more death & destruction. Has it sunk in yet?
To all the haters, bigots and racists in here: George W Bush fucked you guys up well didn't he? Real well. You got it so far up your asses by that guy and his gang that now you'd rather trust Putin's gang than anything your own government says. I've gotta pity you, rape victims as you are.
Like it started or would ever end with Bush. You seem to know a lot about hatin. People think they can't end injustice with the power of government but only end up adding fuel to the fire. Just as we see with every life saving attempt by our financial policies, only greater destruction follows. It is these do-gooders that evil people use to advance their goals.
Collin Powell clearing his throat for another UN speach? Same shit different "Deciders", Bitchez.
When did GW Bush give weapons and air support to Al quida?
Four airliners on 9/11 wasn't enough?
He was too busy turning Iraq over to Shiites linked to Iran. God bless America.
at the time they were called "Saudis" and they're still getting the weapons & money.
I really don't see any good guys in this fight! We are going to back terrorists against a dictator.
I think we all know how this story ends!
I thought I'd never say this but: Russia, please, help us - we have been taken over by Fascist Nazis in D.C.
At least we could use Zhirinovsky to "talk" to Obama for a day or two.

i'm afraid that's a question you Americans have to ask of your own military. There has to be plenty of disaffected and indeed extremely angry US officers out there willing to do a Stauffenberg and stop this madness.
After living through the cold war and celebrating their collapse, I simply can't believe that I find myself rooting for the Russians. What in the hell is going on?
They fought the Fascists & Nazis in WW2 along with us. Now we need them to fight the Fascist Nazis who have taken over D.C. and Wall Street and save us.
As China watches us deplete ourselves.
Muslim domino theory? Iran leapfrogged Iraq and landed in Syria. A little too close to Israel?
Anyone know what stance Israel takes on us arming the rebels? Are they arming the rebels? Why/Why not? Who are those guys?
There is some 'good' news. This no fly zone appears to be something to placate the masses via a grand statement. While the no fly zone in Iraq was over a huge swath of the country at first, with US and allied planes flying in the country, this one will only be enforced by keeping US planes within jordan and extending 25 miles into Syria territory.
I am assuming the 25 miles is the normal engagement of most of these fighters.
While this is a big increase in the support of the rebels, it does show that the US is not able to commit to actually entering Syrian airspace at this time.
Obviously, lots of action is taking place behind closed doors. Maybe Russia and China have their own RED LINE which the US is not willing to cross.......yet.
BBC interview with Pushkov, May 14, 2013.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21784527
Certainly, no one can accuse the US government of having any credibility.
The solution to this problem is a big earth quake to collapse the Oil resevoirs and end the game.
Oil just broke out. Hopefully this isn't the future.
"Cause Americans are the best war masters.
My wife grew up in the Soviet Union. She tells stories and has pictures of being a "pioneer", as was the term via loose translation, when she was a youth. In school, the children were taught all about guns. Mrs M even had a course on hand to hand combat, weapons and how to throw hand grenades. In that class, she was instructed that in the event of a nuclear attack by the U.S. on the SU that the proper reaction would be to, and I quote, "crawl towards the nearest cemetery and die atop of your Kalashnikov". This meaning the AK was more important than the life of the person carrying it. Mrs M was 11 years old when the SU collapsed but had already received such instruction as was mandatory at the time.
When Mrs. M first arrived in the U.S., one of the first things I did was introduce her to my Springfield Armory collection. I gave her a 1911A1 45ACP and she proceeded to hit every target even though she had never shot one before. Later, we met a young Belorussian girl who was over on a summer work visa. I presented the 1911A1 to her to try and she WAS ABLE TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING! What The Fuck? These are their women!
Maybe instead of the M1A, I will bring the AK-47 with us today to WI and have Mrs. M rattle off a few mags of 7.62x39 just to keep her up on her target practice skills.(mine too) Fuck you NSA, Obusha, McCainiac and the rest of you MIC fucks. Do NOT fuck with those people and especially near their own turf. Very few people earn my respect but fucking with the Russians is a really piss poor idea. They will rip your fucking throat and piss down your neck and that includes Navy SEALS.
None of this even includes how the Red Mafia works. Do you see Italian mafia in Russia? Fucking figure it out. That gun is loaded.
I'm with you except for the SEALS opinion. Can we just call it a draw on that one? Its pretty much a draw between the US SEALS and the Russian equivalents. The people in the US military do not support the Fascist Nazis in our govt - trust me. They hate them. It eats at their soul. It does my father's. It does mine.
I can go along with that on the SEALS. I have no problem with the SEALS except for the fact that they are often used as a political tool anymore. Then again, that is not the SEALS fault. So yes, we can call it even and I will +1 for it if you can put the nationalism aside and read again what I really was saying which is no more fucking war. Fair enough?
Agreed. 100%. Dead-on. If I sounded 'nationalistic', in a blind sense, I didn't mean to. I'm driven by the idea of individual liberty for people under all flags. I'm in/from a military family with several purple hearts and the last thing any of us wants is war. We need to back off and stay out militarily. We need to pull back and close most of our bases on foreign land. Especially now since we can no longer even remotely call ourselves "Defenders of Liberty" with the recent NSA-PRISM-gate STASI revelations. Its yet another big embarassment, and depressing. The zenith for America was post-WW2. Ever since then we have slowly and steadily morphed into what we were fighting against in WW2. Very saddening and dispiriting. And soul-crushing to those in our military who love this country the way it was back in the days when we were "Defenders of Liberty". Today our military is used as pawns to advance the cause of the Fascist Nazi D.C. Regime. Everyone I know in the military who is aware absolutey hates that.
I can't help but believe Germany is the wild card in this chess game--and they abhor war. If they tilt East, it's all over for this crumbling empire.
They already have tilted East. They just haven't made it public yet. Biggest indicator was when they asked for their gold back.
Kind of like in the Godfather... Michael Corleone wasn't upset that Tessio had betrayed him to Clemenza... "It's the smart move... he was always the smart one". "Tell Michael it wasn't personal".
The US and the UK completely lack creditability after the false WMD claims on Iraq.
Show us this concrete proof that Assad ordered the use of chemical weapons?
It would have to be pretty damning and indisputable, anything else is just not going to fly with the majority of the public this time.
I gave you an up-arrow but in my opinion the majority of the public are dumbed-down indoctrinated sheep that will go along with it.
Maybe I'm putting to much faith in people to think for themselves and see through the bullshit they are spoon feed.
But 83% incredible (and disappointing if true).
shit yeah, 83% support war and there is no inflation
I know that I did for the first 48 years of my life. I was completely unknowingly indoctrinated also by the MSM and our suck-ass education system. I'm not ashamed to admit that. I knew all along that something was wrong but couldn't pin it down, kept searching for answers, but still going along with the myth with reservations. Thanks to Tyler & the Zero Hedge posters, and other alternative news sources, the fog has been lifted from my head.
Heck, show me a picture of Bin Laden's dead body, or of a few hundred kids exiting from the Sandy Hook School.
A new PEW poll released today shows 83% of Americans support arming the rebels and imposing a no-fly zone.
This poll was brought to you by the NSAzis & Obamafuck.
I find that very hard to believe.
you have to read Gallup, PEW is like the FOMC minutes
I can make 89% of the polls that I create say anything I want them to say. I don't publish the other 11%

Thank you George W. Bush and Dick Cheney; your abdication of responsibility has enabled this kind of thing.

Uh-oh. Now the U.S. will actually have to stage a devestating false flag to justify the theft of Syria's resources.
I sense a "Mission Accomplished" moment coming
Lord Blankfein says Americans have a shitty attitude...
The chief executive officer of Goldman Sachs blames the lagging U.S. economy on Americans' negativity, which he has partly attributed to Congress and the media.
'[The] economy is not a science, it's a social science,' Lloyd Blankfein told Politico reporter Ben Smith in a live-streamed interview Thursday.
'[The] culture of America has gotten too negative,' he added.
It's simple 'Economics 101' that when people are feeling gloomy about the state of the economy, they hold back on investing, buying and hiring.
But Blankfein says Americans are gloomier than they should be - that the economy is picking up even if financial markets have yet to fully recognize the improvements.
'I'm optimistic, but I will say there's a moment where sentiment is more negative than the facts command. And sentiment matters,' he said.
'It’s a very low risk of the U.S. slinking back into recession, but it’s not zero,' he added.
'There are worries on the horizon but a lot less than there were before.'
The malaise would be helped by 'less negative reporting,' he said. But Congress is the main culprit for Americans' attitude problem.

That's because they have been lied to by lying asses for decades now and the lying will continue so the poor schmucks remain stupid.

It is one pack of lies after another, and certainly in the UK there is no support whatsoever for any involvement in this mess they created. Arming Al Qaeda FFS!!!! Two faced bastards mouth off about a soldier murdered on the streets of the UK and then arm and defend the same people for their right to murder in Syria!!!!
and even if we could impeach obama where would we be? i am sorry for those who are going to die for this mistake, those who will wave the flag and cheer for this mistake, and have blood on their hands, and those who know better than to acquiesce to this mistake, but will say nothing. iraq has taught me this much, i am sorry for all of them, and i have only a line from the Jimmy Hendrix song If 6 Turned Out To Be 9 to guide me..
Fall mountain, just don't fall on me...
whilst I am thoroughly enjoying the fact that somebody with real mussel is pushing back against NATO and these elitist parasites that infest DC (it must be shocking for them to realize that this is not a burger king world after all) I'm not so sure I buy the whole benevolent Russia bit either.
more likely this is about Tartus and Russia's strategic interests as Putin knows to lose Assad to western backed militants means there is a very high chance he will loose the base once the new puppet, proxy western govt is installed. I think he takes this very seriously as it would greatly inhibit Russia's ability to project naval power in the region and impair it's ability to respond or deter future acts of aggression by NATO or Israel. thus stability in Syria becomes a national interest for Russia of very high importance.
I think that message has been conveyed very clearly from Moscow to Washington, any type of direct US or NATO involvement, no fly zone or otherwise, is a red line for the east and runs a very high risk of drawing a direct and very much un-proxy response from the large amount of fire power Russia currently has floating in the med.
I think that is the only reason we haven't seen Libya 2.0 yet in Syria.
but now the west is backed into a corner as their "revolutionaries" (note: terrorists every where else in the world) are in danger of loosing the last significant piece of real estate they hold and if help doesn't come, they will be pushed out of Aleppo in a matter of months. this would effectively banish them to the very much open country side where the Syrian armed forces could could chew them up with air strikes, armor and artillery at their leisure. victory at Aleppo means there is no way to force Assad from power without direct intervention from the west.
hence the renewed Bush WMD doctrine 2013 edt. a last ditch effort to manufacture some moral high ground for DC to salvage it's revolution in Syria which is failing, has failed spectacularly.
and if that doesn't work it I don't believe the PTB's would give a second thought to spending 2 million or 10 million American lives to further their agenda. hell they wouldn't even blink.
draft notices and rad badges for x mass this year bitches...
Putin offered Bush the Machievellian bargain, Iran in exchange for removing the (new) NATO missiles aimed at Moscow in Eastern Europe. Russia gave Iran the weapons, but they would gladly hand over the ECM keys to those weapons for a price. Bush demurred. (Maybe Cheney said no) Now Obama has backed off their position, somewhat. Obama is a community organizer, not a global chess player. He didn't study game theory at an Ivy League school with Kerry Bush and Gore.
He doesn't have even a 1000 American lives to sacrifice. The American public is pro-war, and anti-casualties, the democratic reality in effect since Vietnam, when Gen Westmoreland had to drop all search and destroy missions after 1970, and the bloody losses at Hamburger Hill. There is no way American airpower can really do much with fighting in such close quarters. A no fly zone is possible, but it will only extend the civil war on the ground. This is not Libya, and the Soviets will arm the regime against air attacks.
The invasion of Iraq cancelled the existing energy contracts between the Russians and French, among others, (we stole Iraqs oil breaking existing foreign contracts). And whatever the Russians do, at the UN, China is likely to follow, and that will not help Bernanke and wall streets favorite hot money baby. as much as we need a stable Japan, we need a reliable ties with China, which incidentally has been more provocative militarily than the Russians over the last decade.
can Obama organize the world community to effect regime change in Syria. hell the man couldn't fix Chicago. but he is capable of changing tact in the middle of the event, so if things get ugly, he'll probably quit, which will give the GOP new reason to hate him. sigh
I say we take all the politicial folk currently in Washington and draft thier kids in the infantry and make them the first boots on the ground. Bet the war talk would vanish in a New York minute. Better yet, form the 1st Washington Infantry Division comprised of current congresspersons and lobbyists as the elite strike force to be the first wave airborne assault on Damascus.
Amazing what these folks do when it's not their money or their kids or their own precious hide.
I second that proposal, earnulf.
Agreed. It ought to be a universal law that those declaring or initiating a war must fight themselves in a front line combat role, or one of their children must do so.
Hey all, have a great weekend. I just threw this together in a few minutes. Not much of a post yet. I will try to get some video. No promises though as she knows me quite well.LOL

The USSA never lies!
what puzzles most is Israel. do they really want an unstable government with al qaida cells, and plenty of loose weaponry from the fallen regime falling into their hands? if Israel is committed to self defense, they should be backing Assad. sure they don't like Syrias proxy role with Hezbollah in Lebanon, but reducing sovereigns to violent radical ghetto politics is not in their interest. destroying every national Islamic government in the ME is their siren song, once the borders disappear, the tribal relationships became to solidify, and then like all previous colonial attempts to create hegemony across the region, they fail. the tribal organization is a shifting target, well suited to guerilla warfare. Israel is being short sighted if they think overthrowing Assad works in their interest.
Mr Pushkov's critique is fair, balanced and accurate in all respects.
Menace McCain ought to be arrested immediately for consorting with known terrorists, and emboldening them, with his recent visit to Syria. Like the Clintons and O'bomba, he takes his marching orders from the Trilateral Commission of nazionists whose despotic helpers led by Saudi Arabia want to confuse and conquer all.
'...You have Christians, Sunnis, Alawis, Druze, Kurds and quite a few other groups. And if all of this explodes, I don’t think that we’ll have 10 thousand victims, we’ll have maybe 100 thousand victims...', explains Mr Pushkov.
The secular, relatively prosperous society of Syria offended the vicious neofeudalists of the Trilateral Commission, and their nazionist agenda, aided by the House of Saud and other monarchies like the British and European households who enthusiastically supported Hitler - until he failed, and Operation Paperclip was used to bring leading nazionists into the USA to continue the Final Solution...now continuing in the ME, and a neighborhood near you...
