The French Campaign Begins: Hollande Launches "Massive Bombardment" Of ISIS Capital

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Moments ago, reports began to surface on social media that the ISIS "capital" of Raqqa was under siege from the sky. 

It wasn't hard to guess whose planes were carrying out the strikes. As we noted ten days ago, in a statement by the French presidency following a meeting of its defense cabinet, the government said it would send its only aircraft carrier, the Charles de Gaulle warship, to the eastern Mediterranean for operations against Isis in both Syria and Iraq. And as you might imagine, that's not the only place Paris has warplanes stationed in the region.

Just yesterday we said that with the only French aircraft carrier already en route to Syria, meant to support to mission against Assad ISIS, France is oddly prepared for an all out attack to take out the Syrian president. Most importantly, it now has the outraged, incensed public's blessing to do just that. 

Sure enough, we just got confirmation that France, with the help of US intelligence, has commenced a "major" bombing campaign against Raqqa. 

And so it begins.

From WSj, earlier today:

The U.S. is expanding intelligence sharing with France and has agreed to speed the delivery of detailed targeting information in support of possible French retaliatory strikes against Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq, officials said.

 

In response to Friday’s coordinated terrorist attacks in Paris, the U.S. has started sharing so-called “targeting packages” with France, identifying Islamic State targets for strikes by French warplanes. It also plans to roll back restrictions that impede intelligence sharing to make it easier for France to intensify its air campaign.

 

Officials said the changes amount to giving France a seat at the table alongside America’s most-trusted intelligence-sharing partners in developing future target packages for strikes against Islamic State.

 

France has fighter aircraft positioned at bases in the region, in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates, which could be used in any retaliatory strikes against Islamic State in Syria and Iraq once targets have been identified.

Of course the US has supposedly been "bombarding" Raqqa and other ISIS strongholds for more than year, to little effect. It's not exactly like Raqqa is the Japanese mainland ca. World War II. As we noted earlier today, we're no West Point graduates, but it seems likely that a relatively small ground contingent could take the city with the help of the Kurds in relatively short order (see the recent experience with Sinjar):

And it's not like the US or the French have to worry about running into the Russians in the course of providing air cover. After all, Russia has for now pretty much conceded that airspace to the US while Moscow and Tehran restore Assad's power base in the West. Just take a look at the Russian airstrike map (it's not up to the minute, but you get the idea):

So now that the French airstrikes have officially begun, the next question is whether the attacks in Paris are enough to get the public behind sending in the ground troops to finally end this ridiculous charade and take Raqqa once and for all.

Of course that blows the whole anti-Assad gambit wide open. That is, once Raqqa falls and ISIS retreats into Iraq, what then? Then you'll have the French in the east and the Russians and Iranians in the west, and by then, Russia and Iran will have probably taken Aleppo so everyone will be just be staring at each other with Assad looking nervously back and forth in the middle. 

At that point, it's either NATO versus Russia and Iran for the political future of Syria, or someone packs up and leaves and then the suits reconvene in Vienna. And given that Russia has an airbase at Latakia and a naval base at Tartus, and given that NATO would have to pry Damascus out the Ayatollah's cold dead hands, we think we know who may blink first...

Votes are out on our mutual responsibility on caring for out planetary housekeeping Sir.  But my vote on making jokes for upvotes on lost lives is registered.  Climate change?  Make your own mind up.  But NO.  Children  of parents died here and I have a sense that is stinks to revert to some Facebook joke as a response.  What if it was your son or daughter who was mowed down?  Appreciate that comment?  Some things are just not called for.  Are you burying a child who went to a rock concert on Friday night?  And then read something about bombs and climate change inefficiency?

Choices are always our own.  Act with humanity or become another brainwashed, Playstaion drone.  Because that is what are being trained. Certainly do not educate anymore.  Playstation in BlackOps and then move on to the real thing.

There is a danger when you excuse idiocy.  It becomes ACCEPTED as a social standard of human interaction.

Train your children to become disillusioned, uneducated, brainwashed, disenfranchised, drug lords,  Deny critical thinking.  Do not encourage any freedom of thought. Make a political society that is based on money, and only money as it's highest yardstick of value. encourage division, instill fear, promote managers (politicians) beyond their intended station and encourage bribery and theft, make a political process into a complete and utter joke of billionaire spending, flaunt International treaties, empoverish your own citiizens, bribe the legal system, elect clear and present prostitutes of private bribery into offices, appoint to the highest Courts suspect judges, enshrine crooks and refuse to prosecute crime, allow companies to poison the planet with pesticides and GMO because they apy so well, negoiate trade deals that will turn your country into the Dark Ages, worship and adore fallacy and lies, tolerate no freedom or thought and press, arm police to murder citizens, walk all over International laws that rotect other nations, allow trillions/billions of dollars to go missing into unaccounted areas that feed unsanctioned "splinter" groups that are engulfing society, pass laws that mandate every single human in USA needs to feed a parasitic health congomlorate of private industry, trample the world with money tracking when your own 'friendlies" are rigging every market , avoiding every tax and buying every politician.

 

But I digress.

so far we've seen no evidence of bodies.   apparently that's mainstream media policy at work;  remember this thing called the vietnam war?  they showed it unedited on 'mercun telly.  it had the effect of stopping the war.

it would seem western types can't have their dead bodies shown on television, by the same channels that were happy as late as 2004 to show iraqi children  mutilated and dismembered by cluster munitions. similarly, they'll show israeli scum shooting palestinians.  dead palestinian babies. (killed by bombs)

can't have the bon chic, beau gens humbled by reality tho?

it is time that OUR (i.e. the lied-to general publics of the world) standards have to increase vis à vis Quality of Evidence.  

The narrative does not match the image, so I shall not shed a tear.  Nor am I horrified. nor do i particularly care if it was for real, as France is as guilty as Britain and America and Israel in the ongoing rape and pillage of the middle east.  The French joked about concorde, that it was only a 160 germans.  well, it's only 129 French, and there's 66000000 more of them.

Maybe a relative of his was killed. (But then he is not writing about it.) Although 9/11 was as staged as this event it does not mean that people didnot die in that 9/11 event. Did you consider that?

 

Which reminds me...We do have an international crowd here. Anyone here in Paris that witnessed this?

 

I find it very peculiar that we have NOT ONE REPORT from someone...anyone...in Paris as this was going on...who was near the scene...OR NOT EVEN FROM THE NSA TROLLS.

 

Isn't that odd?

 

There has not been even one report from someone, who knows someone else, who was supposedly there.

 

That gives me more evidence, actually the lack thereof, to declare that this was a hoax.

 

Now watch the trolls appear and claim that they were there or know somebody else who was there.

NOW more will die enacting this nonsense.

So booboo the idiots here are the young who are backed into poverty and propoganda.  Stoke those fires.  The laughing will be done by Langley and by all the rich folks (whose sons will sit this one out)...but it will be laughing at how willingly people will sacrifce lives to defend the manipulated lie.

The fact that Ar-Raqqa was the de-facto capital of ISIS was well established several years ago. Despite this, after apparently, a year of bombing, Western forces did little to strike this area. Why? What sense does this make.

 

Soon after Russia joined the fight, they focused on the Ar-Raqqa area. They bombed command and control areas, storage facilities, training camps, as well as places like Tabqa military base. In less than 2 months, Russia has decimated the foreign backed opposition. If the West ( France now? ) is serious in fighting terror they will only increase the gains that Russia, Syria and Iran have made.

 

If not, then we'll get WW3 stoked up sooner than later, as noted by legions of regrettably accurate tinfoil hat artisans.

The G20 meeting in Turkey just announced a cease fire and negotiated deescalation under UNO between Assad and the "moderate" resistance to bring to an "end" the official war in Syria.

This contradicts the thesis that France will "take out" Assad.

I think there seems to be agreement to take out ISIS amongst ALL G20 participants; Turkey, Saudi, US, Russia and France/Germany/EU.

So...first things first. Lets see how this plays out with ISIS.

I wonder what is in stall for Iraq where ISIS has Mossul.

For what it's worth, Putin is now working with the FSA to pin-point ISIS for bombing. Putin says the US can no longer accuse them of hitting "moderate" targets. Yep, stranger than fiction.

The FSA has split. The hardcore have gone over to ISIS. The more rational have moved onto the government side (which does not mean they are pro-Assad). Putin has suggested that they have a better future with negotiation after the removal of ISIS, rather than probable death if they stay on the ISIS side of the fence. FSA has started providing the RuAF with targetting information.

Karl Rove
https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Karl_Rove

The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. "That's not the way the world really works anymore." He continued "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors … and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."

So the French are bombing ISIS targets in Raqqa using co-ordinates supplied to them by US Intelligence. This raises several questions:

1, if the US already has some ISIS target co-ordinates to give to France, why has it not bombed them itself already? After all, the US says it's been targeting ISIS for 13 months.

2, where does this leave the French coalition with NATO who's intention as we know is to bomb Assad?

 

Is it possible that the NATO coalition is fracturing?

I'm no fan of  Stalin, but that quote sounds like the bogus quotes the Tea Party type retards attribute to Hitler about gun ownership prohibition (the National Socialist never confiscated weapons, the laws on the books were from the previous Weimar government and were not changed) or quotes where Hitler allegedly calls for "law and order" - a favorite of the Hippies back in the 60's. Sounds more like a Rahm Emannual quote.

I think Stalin did say that or something like it.  But yes, there have been (invariably self-serving) loads of misquotes about Hitler. And when Goebbels referred to the Big Lie Technique he was not espousing it rather claiming that it was a well-establsihed Jewish tactic.

1938, Jews were banned from owning any type of dangerous weapon, including firearms. Guns were liberalised for certain other groups of people: e,g, nationalist socialist party members.

From here:

http://jpfo.org/filegen-n-z/NaziLawEnglish.htm

 

Regulations Against Jews' Possession of Weapons

11 November 1938

With a basis in § 31 of the Weapons Law of 18 March 1928 (Reichsgesetzblatt I, p. 265), Article III of the Law on the Reunification of Austria with Germany of 13 March 1938 (Reichsgesetzblatt I, p. 237), and § 9 of the Fuhrer and Chancellor's decree on the administration of the Sudeten-German districts of 1 October 1928 (Reichsgesetzblatt 1, p. 1331 ) are the following ordered:

§ 1

Jews (§ 5 of the First Regulations of the German Citizenship Law of 14 November 1935, Reichsgesetzblatt 1, p. 1332) are prohibited from acquiring. Possessing, and carrying firearms and ammunition, as well as truncheons or stabbing weapons. Those now possessing weapons and ammunition are at once to turn them over to the local police authority.

§ 2

Firearms and ammunition found in a Jew's possession will be forfeited to the government without compensation.

§ 3

The Minister of the Interior may make exceptions to the Prohibition in § 1 for Jews who are foreign nationals. He can entrust other authorities with this power.

§ 4

Whoever willfully or negligently violates the provisions of § 1 will be punished with imprisonment and a fine. In especially severe cases of deliberate violations, the punishment is imprisonment in a penitentiary for up to five years.

§ 5

For the implementation if this regulation, the Minister of the Interior waives the necessary legal and administrative provisions.

§ 6

This regulation is valid in the state of Austria and in the Sudeten-German districts.

Berlin, 11 November 1938

Minister of the Interior

Frick

 

And the original German text if you want to translate it yourself.

If you want to kill someone, it's just good sense to make sure they are unarmed and can't fight back before you begin.

This should help some more: the Jews were heavily armed prior to the  victory of the NSDAP over the KPD. The KPD was Kommunist Partei Deutschland. The Jews were the backbone of the Red movement. They had military grade weapons and for a time Germany tettered on an open civil war with the Reds - led by and manned by Jews. The Jews, through the KPD terror, murdered hundreds of political opponents and their actions were known as the Red Terror.  Hitler did state that terror can only be broken by terror. And he and the NSDAP did that. Pwr Pwer Jews.

I read some time ago that Jews in the UK could have weapons in their Synagogues - not the goyim though. Make you feel better. ?

The advent of the iron age
Made the elongation of the male sex
Unavoidable

And its main aim
The penetration
The knife, the sword, the spear

Second,
I thought:
Gunpowder, firearms
The main aim shifted
To ejaculation
And - bombs:
The mystification of the orgasm

Third,
I think:
Simulation
Through screen or helmet
Makes this
Pornography

I hope the French are all orgasming right now.

Syria: Militants Seize Large Cache of US Weapons In Aleppo

Two days after the disbandment of the second U.S. backed “moderate” rebel militia in six months, the Syrian Al-Qaeda branch “Jabhat Al-Nusra” (Al-Nusra Front) seized a large cache of TOW (wire-guided anti-tank) missiles inside Regiment 46 Base in southwestern Aleppo after defeating Harakat Hazzm (Movement of Steadfastness) in a short battle.

Webster Tarpley at Tarpley.net is quite right in saying that that 100 km stretch along the Turkish border should be taken over by the Kurds so that on the second map the green would stretch all across the northern border of Syria. All fighters, provisions and supplies for ISIS and Al Qaida pass into Syria from Turkey through that corridor. It is insane that they want that to be a free zone for ISIS. That means that the war will never stop. This has to be due to Erdogan who refuses to allow the Kurds to control that area. If France were serious they would give air support to the Syrian army and the Kurds in that region.

It is clear that nobody is serious about ending ISIS because they refuse to "dissappoint" ISIS czar Erdogan. I remember somebody prophesied that WWIII would begin in Syria. Looks more and more likely.

This is just window dressing to appease the French people who are legitmately in mourning. But why don't they get angry with their government and insist that that damn corridor be closed. In addition, why doesn't Hollande direct his attention to eliminating terrorism in France????

Why the hell are governments in Europe now talking about cracking down on terrorism? Were they clueless before? Of course not. This is just Orwellian!
