US Will Use “ISIS Airstrikes” in Syria as Aircover for Rebels, Hit Syrian Military Targets http://www.globalresearch.ca/us-will-use-isis-airstrikes-in-syria-as-aircover-for-rebels-hit-syrian-military-targets/5401641
I think this is a very fair statement to make. After all, the U.S. didn’t train and funded ISIS merely to attack it later. They maybe stupid but not that stupid I am afraid.
Jordanian military base used to train ISIS militants https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLtmhJdrR_Y
Anyone with half a brain could see this coming. The objective still is to crush the Syrian army in order to expel Bashar al-Assad, take over the country, steel it’s gold and put some puppet government in so that the Arabs can put in their desired pipelines.
Now oh so conveniently al-Qaeda made a pact with ISIS.
“Moderate” Syrian Rebels Sign Non-Aggression Pact With ISIS; Iraq Defies US http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-09-13/moderate-syrian-rebels-sign-non-aggression-pact-isis-iraq-defies-us
U.S. Air Force and Navy aircraft flew more than 2,700 missions even before President Barack Obama announced an expanded military campaign.
U.S. Flew 2,700 Iraq Missions Before Obama’s New Push http://www.bloomberg.com/news/print/2014-09-12/u-s-flew-2-700-iraq-missions-before-obama-s-new-push.html
But the missions were not flown against what Bloomberg alleges. It’s precisely so like the Global Research article by Patrick Henningsen at the top says. The U.S. uses “ISIS Airstrikes” in Syria as aircover for al-Qaeda and ISIS who now are fighting together, hitting Syrian military targets.
The U.S. cunningly put the pressure up on Russia via the Ukraine helped by the false flag organized by Langley, the downing by Kiev of flight MH17 to turn the public opinion around on further sanctions on Russia. It fooled the Dutch Muppets who don’t know their head from an hole in the ground and now they did it again with two, probably fake, beheadings. It makes me sick to know how easily the people let themselves being fooled.
Now the question remains; how will Russia respond?

USA airjets will get trashed in Syria sky
Definitely so if they send in the F-35 "flying coffin"
i figured that an air war in Iraq/Syria was just an excuse for the u.s. to move air and naval assets to Europe and the Med...
to counter a 'different threat'...
some say to eastern europe...
some say to the dollar...
but, maybe im wrong...
Yeah, but what is the Blackwater dispersion?
'They' are still quite a ways away from flying F-35's in combat. Now there are problems (again) with the P&W engine.
So much for killing that second engine competition a few years back.
Your government at work for you.
I wonder what the test pilots think about this statement?
Croswell said the engine failure came about eight hours after an unusual maneuver involving a roll, yaw and heavy gravity loads during sharp turns. "This is a manuever that the engine should be able to withstand," he said.
Perhaps they can avoid sharp turns eh?
F35's will never see combat vs. other jets, straight line bombing runs only. Can you say Boondoggle?
Blue Ocean Strategy case study....
Lot of money to spend for some new training aircraft.
The friggin' Neanderthal PM we have here in Australia Tony Abbott just bought billions of dollars of them...just what we need. He does everything Rupert tells him to
The classic good cop(usa) bad cop(isis) scenario
Maybe "Bad Cop, Worse Cop".
sounds dirty tho.

Listen. What is this, "ACCUSATIONS" gone wild?
ISIL is real and a credible threat to our allies.
That one dude is chopping heads off!
I read all the articles linked above. I still come away with a WTF attitude. It is like watching spiders spin webs and trap prey. However with all this analysis who really is the spider and whom is the prey?
This descends into complete nonsense at some point.
All this posturing and intrigue and plans gone wrong. It is really all BS is it not?.
Like always millions of people who wish to live their lives in relative peace are being set up everywhere. Yes there a bunch of fanatics/psychopaths and we all know where they live.
There have always been psychopaths. We just seem to be in a period of peak psychopath.
This too shall pass. The real question is the amount of damage done before it does.
USA Plan: "Bog down Russia in Ukraine crisis." While Russia copes with the war and full USA and Eu sanctions, USA and NATO will bomb and destroy Syria. Put in a puppet force to rule Syria and then carry out pipeline projects and hand Golan Heights to Greater Israel.
I agree, Russia should send modern anti aircraft weapons. To pay back USA for today's announcement of weapons shipment from NATO to Kiev. Payback is due. I do not know how deep Putin's courage runs. Will he defend Syria from America's terror army?
come now,
comrade...
Putin is a chess master....i think he's already sent them (sam's) to syria...with techs...
assad seemed awful cocky about 'boggies' coming into his airspace...
kinda like...
BRING IT!...
Don't forget about these:

i did not know that!
i just figured it was so, a guess...
I suspect the answer is... No.

Countries that are the sources of their funding would provide a much more interesting graphic.
Yes, it would. However, bear in mind that to some extent IS is now self-funding through oil sales. Perhaps a list of who is buying IS oil would also be illuminating. IS also grabbed half a billion from the Mosul Central Bank along with its gold bullion. I suspect outside funding was in the form of seed capital.
The US troops have been there so long they must not be considered foreigners at this point.
Ah. thats why only 100, not >5000
Not U.S. troops, American "citizens" aligned with isis.
Just like "Germans," or "Swedes," or "French."
Will the US servicemen start returning home with Muslim war brides in burkas? It's not a real war until that happens. Hah!

Russia and Iran will not let the strikes on Syria stand. They will act. Watch out for false flags in the U.S to deter the public. This is all prophecized.
They know that they used Ukraine to get back at Russia for the Qatari pipeline, and keep it busy away from Syria while they try to take out Assad.
Watch out.
I agree! "False Flag" warnings should be "High Alert".
Remember what the USA and Kiev a did with the Malaysian Jet. If they are prepard to kill that mnay people there, in the USA our government with Mossad help will gladly kill thousands to further their neocon goals. Our government is a killerr out of control. False Flag warning, be alert. Russia, Iran or Syria will be likely patsy for the attacks.
Here is the real enemy. British MI6, USA CIA, Israel Mossad.
Together they will kill anyone friend or foe to get their way. Notice the last British guy whom ISIS beheaded. He worked for the British Royal Air Force up to one year ago, when out of the blue, he decided to become an aid worker, and went to Syria. True story! Fact. The beheaded guy was a Royal Air Force man who was MI6 behind the mask of an aid worker. ISIS caught a big fish when they landed him. British news papers call him a hero, who only wanted to help people. NEVER MENTIONED his military career up to 12 months ago!!!
If the decap is fake, then he has a new ID and a new life, somewhere in the world.
Why would they ever take a chance and let him live after the role he has played even if it was faked? Nope. They cover their tracks and that means no witnesses or possible whistleblowers left alive. No loose ends. That guy is dead.
This confirms my impression from what I saw in TV. This man was/is a military guy and not one sitting behind a writing desk. Aid-worker is just a front. I do not believe he was killed simply for the fact that these events do play very well into the cards of US/UK to justify re-engagement in Iraq plus intensified activities in Syria.
If they would not do anything Assad In Syria as well as the Shia in Iraq would be soon have eradicated the mercenaries. Some dramatic change had to be introduced otherwise things would be lost for US/UK in this area.
http://www.ncr-iran.org/en/news/iran-world/17173-us-strategy-should-be-t...
And this can only be done with new troops in Iraq. Their official mission is to fight Isis but the real job is to destroy Irans influence in Iraq. This means more mercenaries are going to flow into Iraq. That is very bad news for the civil population in central Iraq and the South where Shia muslims d o form the majority. I expect additional huge human sufering, implemented by the uprooting of big parts of the Shia population. For US/UK its business as usual.

Jihad John looks like he has his work cut out for him.
Listen. If I were one of you 'mericans I'd at least study the Qur'an a little bit because when these ISIL guys make their "FINAL PUSH" into the USSA you guy's can at least pretend like you're Muslims.
It might save your life!

We ain't much on tyrants, Obama-style, monarchies or caliphates.
They'll just have to get over the opposition...one way or the other ;-)
He doesn't understand us Merikans.
Reading a competitor religion holy book? LOL! This is what Ann Barnhardt had to say:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htshvId51UE
Competitor religion? I didn't know there was a need for competition. No nation or culture has ever been more open to expressing religious beliefs, Maybe you know of modern examples ,....
You are true about the freedom of religious expression here. However, there is the perpetuated notion that this is a Christian nation. That's a whole encyclopedia of discussion in itself. I said 'competitor' in that regard.
I do not have any opinions on the Abrahamic religions - they are what they are, and they are what they perpetuate.
Our Declaration of Independence was based upon Christian theology. Our Constitution and Bill of rights was based on Christian theology. Deuteronomy is a good place to start. I'm not in the the mood the discuss this tonite. It's all there if you want to research the truth.
Ah, getting downvoted for simply reporting facts....
When they make their final push, it'll be cowboys and muslims. With some gangbangers bringing up the rear. Wait'll jihad john sees his horizon filled with Comanches on horseback with AK-47s.
';'
thats just too funny!

Yippie ki-ay, motherfucker.
Ha, ha. ISIS in the Bible Belt. That would be the grudge match of the century. The Crusades bite back. Religion robs us of reason. One man-made ideology against another and no sign of a loving god in evidence. Both are religions of love, murdering the hell out of each other. This vengeful, controlling, vindictive god must be so proud.
Jihad John served me Fish and Chips at a London "Chippy" back in 20011! Him and his pals were listening to Jihad music on their radio when I walked in! Imagine, ISIS runs "chippies" in fucking London!
Food was shitty by the way!
Jihad John looks like he has his work cut out for him.
ISIS should invest in some French guillotines. It's a more civilized beheading technique. In fact, we ZHers are often demanding "off with their heads" when it comes to banksters, so I don't know what all the muss is about.
"... French guillotines. It's a more civilized beheading technique."
This is true.
But ISIS is anything but civilised. Their MO is barbarism, PR shock treatment.
British PM and warmongering empty suit David Cameron said last night "Islam is a peaceful religion. These people (ISIS) are not muslims, they are monsters."
He got it wrong, they are "muslim monsters."
we Americans are way to gullible. I'm a self taught strategist and it is plain to see that a year ago before anything bad in Iraq and jerkoff blew the red line that ISIS was funded when John Mcain went over, remember the pics with his Al quids friends and put all this together. now yes what will Russia and Iran do about the bombing of Assads forces? It's time to see if Putin has any more balls than Obama. and the American people are so gullible that we will support WW3
Ummm, Putin is Assad's ally and he has done jack against ISIS who is (obstensibly) trying to overthrow Assad, so I guess he figures Assad's not in any real danger now (in fact less) with the expansion of ISIS's war to the east and Iraq.
So who's gullible? ;-)
We astrologers knew that the "dark knight" would come to power under Great Eclipse and Grand Fixed Cross of August 11, 1999
Worldwide we spent the day in prayer and meditation.
Bush and Putin came to power then.
We will be right, we always are.
we don't pick sides, we seek the truth.
an astrologer with a beautiful butt!
Beauty has no limits, its in the stars.
Five star butt and eyes that scan the heavens; ZH does attract females of prescience.
I'm running out of metaphors!
I hope that butt resists all that wear n tear we call the irrepressible "call of the wild" and astrologers call more prosaicly "the passing of time".
As time goes by... a song from "Casablanca" during WW2... Syrac now gets butt bashed!
Pictures on the web of John McCain photographed with one of ISIS leaders back 3 years ago! Fucking amazing he can walk the streets freely! Imagine if FBI had photos of you or me with an ISIS and several Al-Qaeda leaders in Syria three years ago. That tells you how this country is run! Fuck their fake war on terror, shit, THEY ARE the terrorists! And McCain doesn't even get asked by media about it. What if Putin was photographed with ISIS leaders?
McCain you terrorist cunt, get out of our country, we are having a war on terror.
Good point - and one I have made as well.
McCain's behaviour is treasonous. Oh, except for one thing, ISIS is a US/UK/Mossad operation.
Have you got a link to the actual beheading video? Damn hard to find - wonder why.
As long as the nuclear exchanges remain tactical I think we're cool.
Hahaha, once it gets started - how on Earth does it remain tactical?
1. Chaos is a lot easier than Order. ENTROPY rules, Bitchez.
2. The Neo-Ziocons might have EE and IT Bandwidth, but not Human bandwidth to hold back Entropy.
Overwhelm their Bandwidth -- in Time, Space and Mode domains -- and it's... Tits Up sooner or later.
Perhaps Woody Allen was on to something when he made Bananas - ie "the song of the rebels"
Rebels are we, born to be free, just like the fish in the sea!!

I guess we just need to find the right rebels.
Australian Prime Minister (puppet) Tony Abbott just committed to send 600 personnel, including aircraft!
On a per capita basis this would be the equivalent of the US sending 8,500 to 9,000 troops....PM Abbott has inserted Australia "balls deep" into the "diseased" middle east bung-hole of insanity....
One question I have is why do so many of these posters on ZH have lady avatars when they seem to be menz?
When I first came here I thought they were ladies and they were kinda dating advertising along with posting, but it seems to be untrue.
Is this a form of cross dressing?
lol......just aksin~One practical reason comes to mind: other guys are far more likely to read their posts.
guess its convinient - you can fap to your own avatar while posting
OFF TOPIC. In East Ukraine today, the beginning of another mass Kiev Army offensive seems to be kicking off. This is a massive push to take Donetsk. 250-400 tanks and nearly 1,000 Infantry armored vehicles lined up in three main army groups. Opening artillery attacks and small probing attacks began today on three fronts facing Donetsk. I can not be 100% sure, but this looks like the start of the big one. NATO has rushed precision weapons to Kiev by airlift. And trains of tanks from USA allies in East Europe arrived over the last 10 days. But NATO tells Russia to get out of Ukraine!
Who's going to be in those tanks?
If it's just Ukraine government troops, most of their best such as they were are dead, damaged or demoralized, the tanks will be manned by newly trained recruits and draftees, and it's going to be a terrible slaughter. Plus, Ukraine has lost most of its airforce, and most of its best pilots.
The only way this army can win, with or without hundreds of shiny new tanks, is with NATO troops manning those tanks, at least one per tank.
That should finally get Russia across the border, as Russia can't allow the Ukraine Nazi's and their US/NATO paymasters an outright victory. Which is apparently the goal.
This is getting too real.
...............
Another possible escalation: DU projectiles; devastating to tanks, soldiers and civilians. I'm not sure it's right to call it nucear warfare but certainly chemical warfare waged against everyone involved, their children and their children's children. But I don't put anything past the criminals running the US. They've never spoken a word of regret for what they did to Fallujah's people - or to the GI's who fought there.
hi, why..
how are you...
ive been keeping an eye on troop movements in that area, and ive noticed a few things...
like...
most Ukrainian (regular army) units are being kept west of the Dneiper river...the only units east of the Dneiper are national guard and conscripts...the only ukraine RA units east are airborne and air assault units...
HMMM...
“The Persians have been gone from Egypt for nigh two thousand years, and since then the Ptolemies, the Romans, and many others have flourished and held sway upon the Nile, and fallen when their time was ripe,” “...But go on. The Romans burned it, and the Roman eagles flew across its ruins, and now Judea is a desert.”
“So, so! They were a great people, those Romans, and went straight to their end-- ay, they speed to it like Fate, or like their own eagles on their prey!- and left peace behind them.” “Solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant [“To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace”]…” from the book, SH
Don't you think that Russia has satellite images of the areas where the Ukranian tanks have moved into, taken on the day cease fire was agreed to?
I don't doubt Putin will insist on their withdrawal or threaten air and missile strikes on their positions.
The Russian sanctions should be announced in the next day or two.
Aside from the ISS and the closing of Russian air space, I have no idea what they will be.
"NATO has rushed precision weapons to Kiev by airlift. And trains of tanks from USA allies in East Europe arrived over the last 10 days. But NATO tells Russia to get out of Ukraine! "
Exactly. People in the West are not supposed to know this.
I can't believe people work for Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon.... then go home to their wife & kids with a clear conscience. The horror!
They are zombies
Very well paid zombies.
I have had an incredible life. Being at the right place at the wrong time. Like those who are witness to mafia hits since I have Pluto in Leo 12th house.
I got injured on the job and they sent me to retraining. My lawyer said "do computer school, every job will require these skills"
So I did. On the last day of school I had zero dollars and a child to feed, so a Temp agency called me to work at Mindscape in Novato CA. I was put into sell closeout softare. I saw day one tht this was software to train the US airforce, flight simulators. So I said this is " prepping this generation for war" It was really creepy for me because I KNEW what they were doing.
I sold so much and found warehouses filled with product. My boss told me to "slow down" what? in Sales slow down?
Well I got pushed out because I didn't. On Yahoo finance I found a posting from this lawfirm famous for class action lawsuits who I called. I ended up being the principile witness against Mattel who bought this company that made no money at all.
I took the CEO of Mattel Toys down, and she left with a golden parrachute. It was all lies, all smoke and mirrors and a child could see this company was broke, they no longer allowed us business cards, the garbage was not being picked up. That was my testimony.
I said to the investigator. Maybe some small investor will get money back. He said "No, only the top shareholders will get money. We sue them, we win and in ten years the same people pop up again and we sue them"
1998: Sold to Mattel for around US$3.6 billion, causing a strong impact to Mattel's stock price and the ouster of its CEO.
I refused lawyers by the class action side, I testified on my own. I sent an email to the Mattel lawyer saying "You're not bad, your clients are. I am a personal trainer, my clients are like yours, they want the body but they don't want to put in the work to get it."
At the time I had the most impressive female natural physique ever.
"At the time I had the most impressive female natural physique ever"
Ok so maybe we should swap "avatars" Ms "Pluto in Leo 12th house" :)
I had a better butt than that.

100 canadians with an asterik. No one talks about the possiblility of ISIS trying to setup a few Tim Hortons franchises!!! The americans have this all wrong, setup a bunch of crispy creme donut shops throughout the middle east and everything will take care of itself. It's already working in one country!! An entire population indifferent about most things and not feeling like anything is worth getting off of the couch for.
Who took the census? 120 are said to be from Israhel and Palestine....how can they even lump them together? If they know this much, why can't they just send out a group text saying "Who are you working for" and see what comes back...
