President Barack Obama and British PM David Cameron are pushing the NATO summit to embrace the new war on ISIS in Iraq and Syria, insisting anyone who opposes this conflict is an “isolationist.”
The two published an opinion piece in today’s Times of London pushing for escalations of the war as a way to “strengthen” NATO as an alliance, and claiming ISIS is a threat to both US and British national interests.
Absent from the piece is that the ISIS threats to retaliate have picked up pace mostly as the US has begun and escalated its own airstrikes against ISIS targets in Iraq, and as Britain itself moves closer into the war.
NATO hasn’t officially announced its position on the war, but Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen isn’t the international community has “an obligation to stop ISIS from advancing.”
At the same time, Rasmussen insisted no request was yet made for NATO involvement in the war, though it seems like Obama and Cameron are moving very close to making such a request.
Gladio A: "ultra-nationalists." Gladio B: "Islamists." Coincidentally: Nazi's in Ukraine, and Wahabists next door to two nexts in the Yinon/PNAC/(as revealed by)Clarke plan. And the Jewish Lobby just failed to get us to attack Syria directly on the pretext that Assad did Ghouta. It's the kind of convergence that should get people saying no. Tell ISIS to attack Israel if they want to be interesting.
ISIS attacking Israel would be a dream come true for Netanyahu and the Jewish Lobbyist, this would give them the chance to bomb Assad claiming he is responsible for ISIS actions. Lebanon and Gaza is a clear example.
Typo:
"NATO hasn’t officially announced its position on the war, but Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen isn’t the international community has 'an obligation to stop ISIS from advancing.'"
That isn't should be "insists," or "argues."
The sub-geniuses in DC need to decide once and for all exactly what our interests are and who are really our allies and who are really our enemies, and act accordingly. This patchwork of allies-here-but enemies-there is absolutely insane.
Wonder if Oboomer told his pal Cameron and buddies over in NATO
that the same ISIS he's begging them to make (war) on, he is
arming in Syria? It's foolish (not) to think the weapons Oboomer
is shipping into Syria, aren't making their way into Iraq.
Oboomer was probably too busy chowing down hotdogs that this
fact probably slipped his mind. This man is an idiot like Bush.
Only difference, Oboomer has a Nobel Peace Prize to show for it.
NATO long ago abandoned any pretense that it is a defensive alliance with its unprovoked bombing of Serbia in 1999. Serbia had attacked no NATO member country or even threatened to do so. NATO is simply a tool for U.S. hegemony across Europe and abroad.
it is the english and amaericans who created and fiunded and armed the iSIS for last 3 years.
high time they get some blowback for their barbrarism .
