US - Dazed and Confused

The US regime has been so embarrassed by Russia’s air strikes against ISIS that they don’t know what to do. In haphazard and wily ways, the US regime’s spokes-creatures have lowered their rhetoric to grade-school level. 


Russian involvement has been denounced as ‘unprofessional, ‘destabilizing,’ and ‘ineffective.’ (Such descriptions don't seem to apply to the year-long-plus US bombing of ISIS in Syria and Iraq, which has done nothing to blunt ISIS, stop its spread, and end their on-going control of Mosul, Iraq's second biggest city)

Russia has also been accused of targeting civilians, dropping ‘dumb’ bombs, and targeting ‘US sponsored opposition.’

In the litany of lies, contradictions, and hypocrisy, the US terror-supporting racket has been exposed.

Check this out from Barry the Bomber’s recent speech:

“The moderate opposition in Syria is one that, if we ever going to have a political transition, we need. And the Russian policy is driving those folks underground or creating a situation in which they are decapacitated and it is only strengthening ISIL,” said Obama.

At the same time, the US President admitted that the Pentagon’s support to the so-called moderate rebels has not worked the way it was planned, because the rebels consider President Assad their primary target and are not willing to confront Islamic State.

“The training and equip program was a specific initiative by the Defense Department to see if we could get some of that moderate opposition to focus attention of ISIL in the eastern portion of the country,” Obama said. “And I’m the first one to acknowledge it has not worked the way it was supposed to, and I think that the Department of Defense would say the same thing.”

But right after this, Obama was quoted as saying:

“The problem here is Assad and the brutality he’s inflicted on the Syrian people,” Obama stated, adding that the US will continue to support moderate opposition groups to ensure an eventual transition to “democracy. (1)

Obama also lays down his final prophetic vision of the future:

“It was in our interest to make sure that we were engaged with[the] moderate opposition inside of Syria because eventually Syria will fall. The Assad regime will fall, and we have to have somebody who are working with, that we can help pick up the pieces and stitch back together a cohesive, coherent country.”(1)

Wow! All that’s missing from the picture is for Barry to beat himself over the head with a shoe while screaming ‘Assad will fall! His regime will fall!’

It’s clear that Barry is becoming unhinged, and is having some sort of a nervous breakdown. He’s visibly unable to cope with the mess he helped create. Maybe he just needs to take some vacation and clear his head.

Does Obama really expect the world to believe that his priority isn’t to overthrow the Syrian government? The entire US involvement there is for that specific purpose. He’s just basically throwing his rebel creatures under the bus by saying that they’re interested in regime change, but the US isn’t.

So which is it, Barry? Regime change or just fighting terrorism? You can’t do both; they’re mutually exclusive.

Syria already has, and had a legitimate national opposition, but since this opposition didn’t want to be bribed and high-jacked by the US, and refused to support the violence that the US-sponsored foreign fighters unleashed on Syria, the US totally ignores them.

Further evidence of on-going US support for rebel groups in Syria which are linked to Al Qaeda, Al Nusra, and ISIS has been forthcoming, much of it from the US regime’s spokes-creatures themselves. Check out Mr. Hairy Kerry’s answer to a question about terrorism posed by Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov recently:

“Lavrov added: "If it looks like a terrorist, if it acts like a terrorist, if it walks like a terrorist, if it fights like a terrorist, it's a terrorist, right?"

Asked if he agreed with Lavrov, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said: "Well, in concept."

"What is important is Russia has to not be engaged in any activities against anybody but ISIL," Kerry said. "That's clear. We have made that very clear."(2)

So Kerry has a different concept of what terrorism is, and judging by the US regime’s past flirtations with proxy terror forces, it’s clear that he means the US is supporting terrorists in Syria.

Even former CIA director and retire general David Petraeus has spilled the beans about what US policy ought to be, and probably already is:

“To achieve victory in the Middle East, the US needs to establish and protect rebel enclaves in Syria, and launch another “surge” in Iraq, former CIA director and retired US Army general David Petraeus told a Senate panel.” (4)

From their own words, we can ascertain the following facts:

1.  US government has been sponsoring ISIS, Al Qaeda, Al Nusra, and affiliated rebel groups either directly, or through their Arab sheikh proxies


2   US priority in Syria is not fighting terrorism, but regime change for the USA’s own political, economic, and strategic reasons; no matter how much they try to hide, or dress it up as something else


3.  US doesn’t really care about what rebel groups in Syria it supports, and what their ideology or motives are, as long as they can be used  to fight the Syrian government. This whole PR about ‘secular’ or ‘moderate’ rebels is bullshit. There never were such groups, and the US doesn’t really care whether they’re moderate or not. Also, the astonishment and disappointment of US officials that their ‘moderate’ rebels changed sides to the Islamic extremists is also suspect. The US knows those rebels were extremists from the get-go; there was no ‘changing sides.'

Russian airstrikes in Syria have exposed these things, and the US is so unhappy with the fact that Russia is bombing their monsters, that the US regime is practically admitting its supporting these religious extremist freaks. This whole thing has caught the US in a PR nightmare. Their criminal policies have been exposed.

Look at what the US regime’s wonderful Free Syrian Army has been up to for four years.

Since 2012, Syrian president Bashar Al Assad has been ready and willing to sit down and bring this chaos to a peaceful end. Putin has also offered to help. But the US has slapped away the hand of cooperation, while talking about ‘peaceful transition to democracy.’
If the US wants a peaceful, negotiated solution to Syrian war, why does it even support any rebels there at all?

The truth is that the US doesn’t want a peaceful resolution to the Syrian crisis. It wants to aid its rebel proxies to overthrow Assad, so the US can then step in and have everything its own way in Syria. The US knows that they'll get more by using violence than by negotiations.

Even the US regime’s rotten ally, Saudi Arabia, is exposing what it’s really all about:

“Analysts are concerned about the apparent escalation, which many fear could further exasperate the already bloody four-and-a-half-year civil war. An independent analyst told the Guardian that Qatar – acting with the agreement of Saudi Arabia – may already have started sending planeloads of weapons to Turkish airbases. 

“I would expect a huge influx of weapons into the north to try to blunt any ground assault by the regime,” the analyst said. “The stakes are very high.” (5)
How much things have changed since 9/11.

What happened to "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists” tough-talk of George W. Bush? 

It seems that today the US just cannot live up to its own expectations, because it has decided to side with Islamic fundamentalist terrorists in Syria.

Hillary Clinton said on September 13, 2001: "Every nation has to either be with us, or against us. Those who harbor terrorists, or who finance them, are going to pay a price."

Sadly, Hillary defied herself when in 2011 she and her boss enthusiastically sent US warplanes to Libya to aid ISIS-type Islamic fanatics and overthrow the secular regime of Muammar Gaddafi. After Gaddafi’s murder-execution, she bragged about it in front of the cameras, all smiles.

But at least the last part of her quote is coming true: the US is paying the price for supporting violent extremists in Syria.

There have also been accusations of Russia killing civilians. Overnight, actually before any Russian airstrikes even started, photos of maimed and killed Syrian ‘civilian’ victims of perfidious Russian bombings were immediately posted on You Tube and social media. These images were either fake or were made days or weeks before, as we’ve seen with similar atrocity propaganda in the past.
For example:



Where the FUCK were these US/western media pricks in the last fifteen years during which the US and its allies, and Israel, have bombed, burned, and massacred country after country from the air, including wedding parties and funerals? There was no talk of innocent civilians back then; no! There was only ‘collateral damage,’ ‘enemy combatants,’ ‘terrorists,’ or ‘suspected militants;’ toddlers and infants included.

Why is the US regime and its controlled media apparatus suddenly concerned about civilian casualties and bombing of residential areas when Russia is conducting airstrikes? The US doesn’t have the right to condemn anyone of bombing civilians after its own sordid and criminal history. 

The bloody and autocratic Saudi regime has been bombing Yemen for months, and has killed thousands of civilians. Just the other day a US ‘collision’ airstrike hit a hospital In Kunduz, Afghanistan and killed civilians.  But there’s no US regime and media outrage about it. It’s being presented as just an honest, unfortunate mistake; It’s all apologetics; it was simply unintended ‘collateral’ damage, and everyone is just supposed to hug, say sorry, and let the US regime move on to its next atrocity.

“Lt. Gen. Robert Otto, deputy chief of staff for intelligence and surveillance for the Air Force, said the Russians have been dropping "dumb bombs" — munitions that are not precision-guided. The use of such indiscriminate targeting could lead to the deaths of innocent civilians, he said, and create more terrorists than they kill.”(3)

No one in the world has dropped more ‘dumb’ bombs than the US military, whether it was from their planes or their mouths.

And why are barrel bombs which end up killing civilians suddenly worse than a laser-guided US missile which kills civilians?

After all, the use of barrel bombs was pioneered by the Israelis during their war in 1948. The US army used them in Vietnam as well.

And who the fuck gave the US the authority to decide which governments to overthrow, and which leader stays or goes? This is blatantly illegal in international affairs, and the US should be condemned for this, by the UN and by everyone else.

Deciding another country’s government and leaders for them without bothering to even consult its citizens is the antithesis of democracy, which the US professes to care so much about.

The US and its allies better be careful, because they all have quite spotty, if not nasty records of war crimes, human rights abuses, bombing civilians, and colluding with terrorists. They better look over their shoulder so their regimes don’t get changed by anyone else. 

The fascist-infested, war-criminal regime ruling Ukraine today is a marvelous example of US and western double-standards.

"We can all agree that when any US regime official opens their mouth about the Russian airstrikes in Syria, the world is left more and more confused, and/or disgusted about what exactly the US wants, and what it’s doing. US rhetoric seems to change every few hours.

The bottom line going forward is that the US and its regional and European allies are going to have to decide whether they want to be on the right side of history here or not, and as we’ve been careful to explain, no one is arguing that Bashar al-Assad is the most benevolent leader in the history of statecraft but it has now gotten to the point where Western media outlets are describing al-Qaeda as “moderate” in a last ditch effort to explain away Washington’s unwillingness to join Russia in stabilizing Syria.  

This is a foreign policy mistake of epic proportions on the part of the US and the sooner the West concedes that and moves to correct it by admitting that none of the groups the CIA, the Pentagon, and Washington’s Mid-East allies have trained and supported represent a viable alternative to the Assad regime, the sooner Syria will cease to be the chessboard du jour for a global proxy war that’s left hundreds of thousands of innocent people dead."
