Congresswoman Calls US Effort To Oust Assad "Illegal," Accuses CIA Of Backing Terroists

Tyler Durden's picture




 

One point we’ve been particularly keen on driving home since the beginning of Russian airstrikes in Syria is that The Kremlin’s move to step in on behalf of Bashar al-Assad along with Vladimir Putin’s open “invitation” to Washington with regard to joining forces in the fight against terrorism effectively let the cat out of the proverbial bag. 

That is, it simply wasn’t possible for the US to explain why the Pentagon refused to partner with the Russians without admitting that i) the government views Assad, Russia, and Iran as a greater threat than ISIS, and ii) Washington and its regional allies don’t necessarily want to see Sunni extremism wiped out in Syria and Iraq.

Admitting either one of those points would be devastating from a PR perspective. No amount of Russophobic propaganda and/or looped video clips of the Ayatollah ranting against the US would be enough to convince the public that Moscow and Tehran are a greater threat than the black flag-waving jihadists beheading Westerners and burning Jordanian pilots alive in Hollywood-esque video clips, and so, The White House has been forced to scramble around in a desperate attempt to salvage the narrative. 

Well, it hasn’t worked.

With each passing week, more and more people are beginning to ask the kinds of questions the Pentagon and CIA most assuredly do not want to answer and now,  US Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard is out calling Washington’s effort to oust Assad both “counterproductive” and “illegal.” In the following priceless video clip, Gabbard accuses the CIA of arming the very same terrorists who The White House insists are "our sworn enemy" and all but tells the American public that the government is lying to them and may end up inadvertently starting “World War III.” 

Enjoy:

Juxtapose this with John Kirby's schizoid rant in front of the Press on the contradictions between what the President said and the reverse calling it "mission creep" and this is what you have to do if you want to "win"!

Well, some say the NWO crowd wants to destroy the US and bring on WW3, or at least put the world on the brink of WW3. Then they can offer their 'solution' - world 'governance'.

She very well may be a well intentioned young woman , but - - why would a propaganda network and propaganda shill allow her to voice these opinions? Why would they not only interview her, but spend considerable time devoted to a relativeky new congress member ?

And notice how so many (even here) are so anxious for a 'hero' to 'save' them ? That looking to others, is why Humanity is currently enslaved.

If you look at the events leading to the point were we are now, like neo liberalism, deregulation, privatization of state assets, the effects of this policy on the economic state of western nations.

Ideas like the EU superstate, the "ever closer union, the end of states, open door policy, austerity policy, how Syria has been destroyed, leading to a epic mass exodus of people.

The idea of the EU having powers to control military and police of member states, the ECB being the head of all other central banks in the block and having control over member state economies trough control of debt among other tools.

 

Now enormous numbers of people are flooding Europe from the middle east, and because people like Merkel for instance have been sending out the message that everyone is welcome, its not just Syrians floating across the Mediterranean that are coming.

I suppose the expected results from this adventure would be that when the inevitable civil disorder and possible civil wars start, the EU will find a excuse to use force to contain the situation and issue patriot act style laws to get the authority needed to control things that are dangerous for all little superstates, like free speech.

It could be a good idea to stop this flow of people to Europe and ship those who are not from Syria or areas directly affected by the destruction of Syria, back to the place of origin.

Then start preparing Syrian refugees for their return to their countries, when Syria is ready to be rebuilt. 

 

There are some ideas being discussed regarding shipping refugees who are just taking advantage of the situation back.

Lets hope there is some seriousness behind this.

“Hoisted on their own petard” is an apt aphorism.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hoist_by_one%27s_own_petard

To be hurt or destroyed by one's own plot or device intended for another; to be "blown up by one's own bomb"

The beautiful Tulsi Gabbard excerpt from Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsi_Gabbard

Her father is of Samoan/European heritage and is a practicing Catholic who is a lector at his church, but also enjoys practicing mantra meditation, including kirtan.[7] Her mother is of Euro-American descent and a practicing Hindu.[7] Tulsi fully embracedHinduism as a teenage

At 5 minutes in to video, Wolf B. mentions that Tulsi is a combat veteran.  She is also on Senate Arms services committee.

The not so beautiful Wolf Blitzer:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_Blitzer

Blitzer was born in Augsburg, Germany] the son of Cesia Blitzer (née Zylberfuden), a homemaker, and David Blitzer, a home builder. His parents were Jewish refugees from O?wi?cim, Poland, and Holocaust survivors… While at Johns Hopkins, Blitzer studied abroad at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he learned Hebrew.

Petard action happens at 6 minutes in, when Tulsi explains how if the U.S. repeats the same action as Iraq and Libya, the results will equal.

“Things that are being said right now about Assad, were said about Ghadaffi.., they were said about Saddam Hussein,  by those who were advocating for the U.S. to intervene, to go overthrow those regimes and dictators.  The fact is, if that happens here in Syria,….far worse situation, persecution of religious minorities and Christians.”

Who advocated to start ME wars? 

Wolf then puts words in her mouth, suggesting that Hezbollah and Russians are doing the U.S. a favor.

To give Wolf full credit, he doesn’t explode when Tulsi mentions persecution of the Christians,  as said Christians MUST be his enemy and color Wolf’s wordview, given his parents refugee history.

 

Oh the web we weave, when we intend to deceive.

I have pointed out before that the British built two warships for the Confederacy and were required to pay the usa damages after the war.  International law was clear then and it is clear now.  If Assad wins he is likely to seek a judgment against us the Turks and the Saudis.  We usually win and require the new government to sign some sort of liability waiver for continued support.  This time might be different and assets can be seized anywhere another country is willing to do so to satisfy the judgment.

You only get to collect if you are physically able to collect.
In more honest days they called it loot and tribute.

Assad will stay in power but will not get any compensation for the destruction of his country.
What he might get is something that I am sure Syria would love to get back - some land.
Syria never had the muscle to get the Golan Heights back. Russia on the other hand could very well do so while they are in the neighborhood.

Russia actually probably feels that they owe the Israelis some payback for when Soviet jets were embushed and
destroyed over Egypt a few decades ago.
It would be interesting to see some Heeb F16s taken out over Syria by the Russians.

We have friends and family who are Syrian. Everyone I've ever met liked and lawfully voted for President Assad. Syria is/was a most remarkable country of many cultures and religions living side by side. It is not a "Muslim country". Many of the now dispersed Christians still speak Aramaic and the Catholic nuns have been in their historical convent for hundreds of years. ISIS and their ilk are a disgrace to Islam (and America). And before you get high and mighty here, remember how many of our own military and veterans are Muslim! Syrians are a friendly, hospitable people and what has been done to them is an atrocity. God bless Tulsi Gabbard !

She is absolutely right and with hundreds of thousands of people dying and being on the edge of WWIII, who cares about her age.  She is pointing out the U.S's number one enemy is Al-Quida, not Syria and using terrorists leads to terrorists taking over Syria, a total disaster for the world.  the US wants to use terroroists to destroy Syria and then take it over themselves, possibly killing off the terrorists.  But is doesn't work and Russia sees this and the real threat of a terrorist Syria.  The US's greed for Syrias assets and pipeline from Qatar to EU and the desire to weaken Russia more is driving them to use terrorists because American's don't want war there and this policy is totally immoral, insane, extremely dangerous and the pentagon and White house and most politicians are war criminals and should be impeached and put in jail.  This is a serious crime against all international law, and morality and the constitution and impeachment process should begin immediately

Much of this is about water rights for the Israelis,the establishment of an independent Kurdish nation (the Turks go feral on this issue),and of course oil.The USA is completely broke.For Russia to expensively intervene can not be good for their economy either.

All I know about the mideast is once someone grabs some land there will be immediate settlement building.It is the modern version of planting the flag on the hill.

But I did think he was sneaky in the interview,getting the "Barrel bombs" issue in there.

Pretty lame defense by putting the words in her mouth,"You want to withdraw completely from the mideast" (i.e. you love the Russkies).He as much as said "WTF do people in Hawaii know about world events".

US Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard is out calling Washington’s effort to oust Assad both “counterproductive” and “illegal.” Here is President Obama's remarks concerning Tootsie's comments..."Today I have spoken to Congresswoman Tootsie and she is right. I am wrong. Today I am putting the CIA on probation for one year and am imposing a $5,000 fine. I am asking our patriotic service people to lay down their weapons and come home. My strategy was based on top to bottom "data dependent" information. I did not consult the tea leaves...my fault. As a Nobel Peace Prize winner it is time to turn this ship around. Thank you Tootsie for helping me find the right path.

If there is a legitimate reason that Assad should not be in power, then the US government should make that reason known. To this point all that we have heard and seen are lies and US government aggression and murder.

WOW one woman has bigger cojones than her male counterparts by going against the Zionists. Obviously she doesn't want to be a Politician for much longer, AIPAC will make sure of that.

Really, nothing the White House and State Department has done in the past 20 years has been lawful or morally correct. And what the State Department did to the Ukraine was absolutely Criminal, without doubt.

And what are the people going to do about it, they're going to vote for same parties, same people again and expecting different results again. The public are basically co-conspiritors.

Good old ZeroHedge caught that.  I saw Gabbard on CNN a few days ago and thought to myself  "Hmm, she has a D next to her name but she is kind of pretty in her own way so I will listen to her for a while."  She didn't say anything that pissed me off right away which is more than I can say for just about every other politician.  It is good to see someone so young actually voice an opinion.  I guess we shall see how she really is and how quickly she gets compromised.  

One thing is for sure, and you Democrats had best listen up, Gabbard is a much better choice than Hitlery and she might be 35 by election day.  If we are going to have a female president shoved down our throats I would rather it be Gabbard than Hitlery.  If we really even need a president that is.

June 6 2008 Chantilly Virginia

Just that, nothing more. So very innocent. Just a date, a city and a State. No hint at all at what may actually blow Mr. Progressive's intellectual engine's head gasket.

A clandestine meeting was held between the Presidential hopefuls and the men who had just trashed the world economy. The press corps for both candidates were given the slip, one was shanghaied onto the candidates plane and not told until after take-off he was not on it.

Since then none of those men Obama and Hillary met with have seen the inside of a US jail cell. Obama became Prez.  The banks got bigger and fatter. So much for the 'pitchforks'. Hillary evidently had to settle for SecState and a shot at the title in 2016. Now, it looks like the female Pied Piper wants her due. And her patrons are of a mind to give it to her...and, in doing so, use her as one more intrument in 'giving it' to us...and by extension, to the world.

But regardless - she is both right, and absolutely courageous to say what she has.

But we are stuck with a corporate MSM which, apart from political slant Red/Blue nonsense - provides strangely the same basic perspective on the issues of the day - be it Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Palestine, Syria/Iraq - or basically anything else.

So unless and until a bunch of libertarians take over a MSM news source....all we can do is await the smear campaign or other fuckery.

And we can keep our eyes on her health and well being.

Oil is a fungible commodity and additional, incremental supply brought to market will lower the price for all producers so any Iranian production, regarless of how it arrives, is going to exert downward price pressure and Iran can sell all the oil it wants to China so it really doesn't need European markets. Still, the fight is on and I say let them kill one another but our record bringing peace and stability to the ME is catastrophic we need to get out...
