With Secretary of State John Kerry insisting the only goal of the Geneva II peace talks, which began today, is to establish a new “transitional” government for Syria, it is less and less clear why Syria’s current government was even invited.
It certainly wasn’t to hear them speak, as UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon repeatedly interrupted Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem’s opening remarks, mostly to complaining that he was taking too much time and making “inflammatory” comments.
Moallem’s comments centered around concerns about the rise of al-Qaeda dominated rebels in Syria’s north, and warnings to Turkey and other nations to stop backing such factions on the ground.
All that seemed very much beside the point to officials at the talks, however, and once Moallem was finally finished, the speeches continued, with little talk of even hazarding an attempt at stopping any of the fighting on the ground.
That’s not surprising, of course, as materially none of the rebel fighters were represented at the talks. The lone “rebel” faction, the opposition Syrian National Coalition, is hoping to get things over as soon as possible and get themselves appointed Syria’s new “governing body.”
Much of Syria’s confusion about the talks appears to be time-sensitive, as Moallem’s speech seemed built around last week’s comments by Kerry and Russian FM Sergey Lavrov, talking up partial ceasefires and humanitarian corridors. All of that was endorsed by the Assad government and therefore immediately condemned by Kerry, who now sees efforts to stop the fighting as a “distraction” from the true purpose of the peace talks, installing a more pro-US regime.
If UN chief is not biased when protecting USG-EU-Saudis and other Tyrants, which in reality he also protecting the interests of tyrants terrorism in Syria than who is. His job is to play the good cop when needed and bad cop when is needed as well, today is one of those moment, the other day when he invited Iranian he was playing the good cop, later revoking the invitation of the Iranians is when he played the bad cop. In the other hand both US and Saudis can stop paying UN unless UN chief is protecting their interests, today is the day.
The intentions of the Americans with client´s and their stooges was clear even before the Syrian delegation had landed, as they where held hostage in Greece for hours and denied re-filling the presidential plane. No explanation provided by the Greeks except it was "beyond their control" they where later released. Next attempt to humiliate them was as mentioned from Moon, barely wiped clean from the eggs on his face he got for having to rescind an invitation to Iran on order from Washington, he immediately took the opportunity to act as a "judge" in a US Kangaroo court for "crimes against humanity". In those courts, like the former Nazi interrogation centre in the Hague (now "ICTY", Ahlbrigt´s baby) it is custom to cut the defendant short, humiliate him, shutting off and on the microphone at will and even kill him (President Milosevic of Yugoslavia was after several "mistakes" from western doctors finally and without him or his Doctor knowing, treated with a knock-out drug hostile to his ongoing medication, Rifapicin) . There can´t be any other explanation to this outrageously hostile behaviour towards one of the delegates by Moon, then to give us that association. They might as well even have them arrested on the spot and whisked away. Having gone through that and knowing who´s orders Moon was parroting, i think Al Muallem was more than balanced.
(Note to Mr.Knapp: Thank you for your kind remarks yesterday. Apart from the usual one-sided sources of info. This article by Ditz is arguably one of his better moments and i have "no further objections"…)
A pro-Us regime? Any of those delegates ever heard of Iraq?
This is all mumbo jumbo, and the world certainly has gone completely nuts.
Don't delude yourself in this Abyss. You know what,there isn't such thing as
right or wrong. Everyone sees the world differently then the person next to
you. This factor alone will never change) to my limited understanding,
I have one question for you…….who is not wrong? 🙂
Smells like an invasion, eh, "humanitarian intervention" is brewing. Now if we can just get enough grunts from other countries to do the killing and the dying…
