Calls for arming and backing the various opposition factions in Syria aren’t the exclusive domain of the Arab League, or even of Senator Joe Lieberman (I – CT) anymore.
That’s because a new video today from al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri is also calling for international intervention against Bashar Assad, urging Muslim fighters from neighboring nations to join the rebels.
There have already been some indications of that happening, with al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) fighters reportedly moving into Syria in significant numbers and playing a role in bombing attacks and arming the opposition.
It is an interesting shift, because the US and Iraqi governments have long blamed Syria’s government for AQI’s resilience, with Iraq broadcasting confessions on state TV claiming the Assad regime was training AQI.
The claims never made a lot of sense, above and beyond the Maliki government’s tendency to blame “Ba’athists” for al-Qaeda problems. The Syrian government is Shi’ite dominated, and it is unsurprising that al-Qaeda, along with many others, is angling to see a regime change toward their own auxiliaries.
Now we know who the Al-Qaeda really works for: CIA, MI6, Mossad.
Did you notice that the link that lead to this article is "Al-Qaeda Urges Help (!) for Syria Rebels" ?
Excellent propaganda ! "Al-CIAda did sent in Syria Rebels from the beginning – and now listen well: "Al-Qaeda Urges Help (!) for Syria Rebels". Great isn't it? I do call this perfect. And this is not the brainwash for ordinary US citizens, it is for the antiwar community ! Simply excellent. My congratulations for Jason Ditz who brings us any day such excellent articles.
They been there all along and parties involved (USA_EU and UAE) know about them since Libyan war, these are leftovers terrorist groups from Afghanistan when they were brought into Afghanistan from Saudi Arabia by the Bush regime to defeat the Mojahedin in Afghanistan and so the USSR invading army. They never left Afghanistan, it was given to them by the Bush regime as an Islamic sanctuary, Wahabi sect, since then they pup up like a cancer whenever and wherever US and EU needs them to change a regime, they are stationed in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Tunisia, Morocco and other part of Africa and to be used for further wars in Africa.
A nice try to cover that Al CIAda was there from the begining.
There is no trick, thery do not use. Excellent CIA planning, strategy and tactics from the beginning to the end. Well done by why? An ex-CIA officer has a different view: Braindead West wants Jihadists to rule Libya:
May be because Sharia is the most repressive system and most suitable in the middle east?->

At 3:50: USA they "have a secret agreement with the Jihadists: YOU GET THE SHARIA AND WE GET THE OIL"

13:20 NTC people: it was the USA who brought in Al Qaida. Libyans do not want the islamists, but the US wants them and is controlling them.
Even the ongoing approaches and interim success has an excellent media management: Here in Germany, it was promoted in mainstream media, that now the uprise or at least the violence has already reached Damascus and Aleppo. As if two men sent to plant a bomb would be an uprise.
And according to mainstream media the libyan war is over since some months, , despite ongoing fighting everywhere – even NATO bombardments in Tripoli and reoccupied Bani Walid and many other towns. However – that is news business as usual and they are cool professionals, who in such a situation can command the Al Qaeda commander of Tripoli to Syria, to manage things better there.
The the planned and ongoing adjusted story board of this war theater is the source of news – it no longer has to do with reality. The sole function of media is the ongoing forming of system brains. Also antiwar whit its adapted brainwash of the antiwar target group, is a great help to shape public opinion worldwide.
Soooooo….. Lieberman and Al-Qaeda are on the same side? Politics does indeed make for some strange bedfellows. I have to wonder, though, will the US and Al-Qaeda efforts be coordinated and, if so, through what agency? Will this be cleared by the Israelis and, if so, at what level of the Israeli government?
Will the US arm fighters presented for duty by Al-Qaeda, and once their usefulness is over will we abandon them just we did the Mujihadeen in Afghanistan?
I am eagerly awaiting an article calling for Lieberman's arrest and detention without due process at Gitmo for materially supporting Al-Qaeda. Rush? Bueller?
Of course – we know who the 'rebels' are – right?
Of course we know who they are! The rebels are those guys over there- to the south, and west, and (grandiose wave of the hand over the map) over in that direction.
This is getting heated and out of hand. Like many others, I know that the catalyst for WWIII will come out of the Middle East and will be caused by the Axis of Evil (US/Israel). However, I thought that it would be more over Iran until today, when I heard reports that neighboring countries like Lebanon are now being dragged into this. It doesn't look good, it doesn't look good alone. I hate to agree with the Jesus freaks and other nuts that pander 2012 as the end of the world but with every day that goes by and every event that takes place, it just seems like there's not much more beyond 2012.
