debkafile’s military sources report that Hagel spoke of a chemical war in Syria in terms of an imminent and realistic eventuality. Washington expected the Syrian rebels close to al Qaeda to initiate this type of warfare and the Syria army to fight back in kind. Such an exchange could quickly spill over the Syrian borders to its neighbors, it was likewise predicted.
The abduction of 21 UNDOP Filipino UN observers Wednesday, March 6, by the Islamist Martyrs of the Yarmouk, is now seen as tying in closely with the next plans of the Islamist militias of the Syrian rebel force, headed by Jabhat al-Nusra, which are to cement their grip on the Syrian Golan, eastern Syria and the Upper Euphrates, where the important towns of Deir Azor and Abu Kemal are situated.
Therefore, the parties involved in their release refute the optimistic accounts of the blue-helmeted hostages’ early release issuing from Damascus, UN headquarters in New York and Middle East capitals.
By strengthening their holdings in eastern Syria, the Islamist militias believe they would pave the way for the creation of an al Qaeda-dominated territorial entity, the first of its kind, ranging from the eastern outskirts of Damascus to the northern approaches to Baghdad.
Jabhat al Nusra, al Qaeda’s most effective combat force in Syria and Iraq, is determined to go through with this plan, even if it necessitates fighting with the chemical or biological weapons they have managed to get hold of.
The kidnappings of UN observers have attracted worldwide attention and put the Islamist camp now dominating the Syrian rebel movement on the map as a force to be reckoned with and respected – internally and internationally.
The US defense secretary warned his Israeli visitor that the intelligence data reaching him indicates that al Qaeda and its affiliates will prefer multiple chemical attacks inside Syria and across its borders for greater effect, rather than aiming for single targets. Each of the victimized countries will then have to decide whether to react at once, or wait for the member-governments under the new headquarters to get their act together for a collective response.
Our military sources add that the new headquarters places under one roof the American, Israeli, Turkish and Jordanian counter-WMD commands operating separately since last year in Tel Aviv, Ankara, Beirut, Amman and areas abutting Syria.
According to those sources, although US defense spending cuts have held up the overhaul and refitting of the USS Harry S. Truman carrier and its strike force and their departure for the Middle East, the ship and its air combat unit are nonetheless on standby for deployment in the event of chemical warfare raising its head in the Syrian conflict. - Debka - Chemical war in Syria

So now what, US, Israel, Jordan or Turkey fire off something chemical or just claim someone did and that gives them the authority to enter into and conquer Syria, sounds like a setup to me. Just how was it we came by the authority to interfere in and overthrow the governments of other countries? Some of those other countries want to overthrow us; they must have the right to do that. What is good for the goose is good for the gander, right.
ReplyDeleteThis whole muslim spring uprising that has taken over a handful of countries so far is nothing more than a cover for a US and its allies coup d etat. Being a somewhat free American (for the time being at least) I am offended that our country is invading other countries one by one until they all fall at our feet. But we do it under cover of freedom so that makes it okay to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people in countries that were doing just fine until we armed and sent covert anti American forces like Al qaeda and the muslim brotherhood into their countries to disrupt and bring down their governments.
So just how is it that we are fighting al qaeda and the muslim brotherhood terrorism on the one hand to save our country but arming and supporting them to take down other countries, how does that work? Are we for or against murdering terrorist? Apparently we are both, we only claim we are fighting them, but what we are really doing is supporting them and using them to take over the world. Nobody seems to notice, sweet, that means it is probably going to work. But who is it for? Not American citizens I promise you that.
