Can the Arab League still salvage its pact to end the violence in Syria? Over a week after the deal was announced league members are planning an emergency meeting in Cairo in an effort to figure that out.
The pact was supposed to have all Syrian troops and tanks removed from protest cities, and all political prisoners captured since February released. Though the regime has released a small portion of the prisoners, the violence has if anything escalated.
And it continued again today, with reports that another 33 have been slain, many of them around Homs. This would bring the toll since the deal was announced to around 300 killed.
The Arab League initially gave Syria 15 days to implement the reforms they agreed to, and while the deadline won’t pass for another five days there is no indication that the troops are anywhere near leaving the cities.
What a dirty game – these peace plan is like any former peace plan in middle east or the Balkans just a tool of war propaganda and preparation of war. The Syrian government is urged to release prisoners and to withdraw troops and the same time the US government declares to their Syrian "rebels" do not lay down weapons and do not stop (what? violence !) and with release of prisoner violence rises!
The same game NATO/UN played in Kosovo: "Protecting" KLA-Terrorists of being captured, than they attack and shoot, government must defend and UN claimed they are breaching the agreement. This is their tactic to build up a real civil war.
And the driving force in the Arab League is who? Arab NATO-friendly dictatorship Bahrein, who shoot down their own really peacefull and unarmed uprising – even with foreign troops from Saudi Arabia !
Others like Qatar are not better: Qatari troups with tanks (!) did crash down the anti- fundamentalist/ anti-Al Qaeda-uprise of Benghazi people together with the army of the killed former rebel general Younis. Qatari troops also took part in large numbers in attacking Tripoli from the seaside – in civil-dress.
To let such interested parties conduct peace plans means in fact conducting escalation. Free prisoners and "free" attacks means government response, killings and …. "humanitarian NATO carpet bombing".
Since even the peace movement is brainwashed and calmed by such methods – wars arise everywhere and without end. The US governments subsumed a time window for war against former soviet satellite states without Russian intervention requires 7 wars in 5 years – Yugoslavia/Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Jemen, Somalia and Iran:
Excellent post, Edgar.
It is well past time antiwar.com started debunking the Syria propaganda…instead of merely repeating it…
For one thing it is time to answer one key question…who is the cause of the violence in Syria…?…is it the government or is it the rebels…?
Many of us already know the answer…the rebels are the ones who started the cycle of violence and they are the ones who refuse to stop…
Also worth noting that it is the US that creates and props up and supports these rebels as a de facto proxy army…just as they did with the KLA rebels and the Libya rebels…
This is the US formula…use money and the CIA and fronts for the CIA to build up a rebel force inside a targeted country and then sic them on the forces of law and order inside that country in order to create chaos and provoke a civil war…which is then used as a pretext for Nato intervention…this is how they did it in Kosovo…
And when the police and security forces attempt to restore order, which is the fundamental right and in fact responsibility of any sovereign country…then the US puppet media creates a propaganda war of words by painting this legitimate action as “massacres” of civilians and protesters…
What is infuriating is how easily this formula is working…time after time…with no debunking whatsoever…the US people have no clue and they seem to not care about getting to the truth of these matters…
Even worse is that supposedly antiwar alternative media simply go along with this…often merely regurgitating the mainstream media lies…
WHEN WILL WE SEE RAIMONDO’S “DEBUNKING” ON SYRIA???
