White House Press Briefing - Live Feed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It appears President Obama, not wanting to provide every alternative-media site with a perfect 'compare and contrast' from September 2014's "putting U.S. troops on the ground would be a profound mistake,"  has handed the responsibility for announcing American "boots on the ground" in Syria to his Press Secretary. "If you like your boots on the ground, well, you can keep them.. in Syria."

 

Presenting with minimal commentary (details are here), a gentle reminder from the not so disant past...

As CBS reported in September 2014,

while not quite as gung-ho as Biden's "gates of hell" speech, President Obama appears to have stepped up his rhetoric from 'contain' to 'defeat' as he stated "we will hunt down [ISIS] members and assets wherever they are," but carefully added putting U.S. troops on the ground would be a "profound mistake."

And today's White House Press Briefing...

 

As we concluded earlier, make no mistake, this will be a disaster.

*  *  *

Finally, we could not helpo but find supremely dismal irony in the fact that at 515ET this evening, President Obama and the First Lady will welcome children of Military Families to Trick-or-Treat at the White House

... make no mistake, this will be a disaster.

Enron used to have a number of Star Wars-themed phantom companies to hide their fraud.

The same approach is being used in Syria by “Ash & Kerry”.

There’s no Free Syrian Army. There’s a group of “five or seven defected Syrian officers” who, since 2011, haven’t even managed to agree on which one of them will be the face of the “FSA”.

They don’t hold any territory, they don’t fight anybody. This name is kept in the news so the Kardashian-watching public would think that there is an actual ARMY somewhere in Syria.

The Free Syrian Army is as “real” as the recently concocted Syrian Arab Coalition consisting of exactly 0(zero) fighters.

It is as “real” as the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The SOHR, which is a single dude in a basement in Coventry, UK, who receives his daily “Syrian Observations” from the UK+US spooks, copy-and-pastes them, and gets immediately quoted by all MSM, making the news “real”.

So… If our Foreign Policy is run Enron-style, making us “the smartest guys in the shithouse” in the process, will it meet the same fate as Enron?  ;-)

Agreed Looney. This looks like we're headed straight for WWIII. And while we're at it with Russia in the Middle East and Ukraine, why not stoke some more war with China in the South China Sea. We're led by the least among us.

I was at an event with certain personell who are at times at the table when Syria strategy is "contemplated." My takeaway is that when everything is laid out on the table, the parties the US are trying to assist or manipulate are so convoluted, intertwined, conflicted, and chaotic that TPTB have no fucking clue what they are doing. My inquiry as to why, if that is the case, do they do anything went unanswered.

This of course will shock no one. But have no doubt that the decisions they make are just as schizophrenic as they appear to be and they are basically making this shit up on the fly thinking they can react to the situation as needed. They, afterall, had to do SOMETHING.

Nailed it: they are all actors, but they are trained as lawyers.   Actors at least are called upon to use their imagination, but lawyers are trained to never ask a question they don't already know the answer to.

Thus, they ask few questions.

Just replace all the names like 'al-BlahblaDi" with names like "Trong Twang Dingdong", and it could be the B-roll from 1971.

Except times have changed.

ISIL,ISIS, etc is primarily a mercenary force, with funding coming from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the Afghan narcotics trade overseen by Langley.  Supplies go across the Turkish-Syrian border, as documented by German media ( http://dw.com/p/1DuJ6 ).  In other words, ISIS/ISIL is a US asset, which explains why a couple years of the "US war against ISIS" did little or nothing to destroy ISIS/ISIL.  In reality, ISIS/ISIL is used as a cover to destroy the infrastructure of Syria, in order to remove Assad/Syria as a Russian ally, and provide a base to intrduce organized terror to Russia and Iran.

Over the past year we have become the Air Force for moderate beheaders and now we are about to embark on a new mission, to advise on the ground those moderate beheaders. After all, the moderate beheaders are American 'asset' and worth fighting Russia over according to Zbigniew Brzezinski. This is a historic day for American exceptionalism.

  Just go in full force, take the oil fields and defend them. Ship over all the unemployed oil workers from the USSA and work them 24/7 pumping oil to sell on the world markets. When the ground sags and the needle points to E declare victory and bring them home. War paid for, the rest of the world will lose interest in said country as there is nothing left to fight over. Start with SA.
