In Pakistan’s tribal areas, the sight of US drones flying overhead has been an ongoing source of anger, with Pakistan’s central government insisting they never authorized them. Recently in Iraq, the US has come under criticism for using the existence of an embassy to justify nationwide drone surveillance.
Now, attention has turned to Syria, where US officials admit that military and spy drones are operating in Syrian airspace, presumably without Assad government permission, and with not even an embassy as a pretext.
Officials say that the drones are being used to gather evidence to “make the case for a widespread international response” against the Assad government. So far that effort seems to be going very poorly for them, as the UN Security Council resolution was vetoed by Russia, and the Arab League’s calls for invasion are unlikely to even secure a vote at all.
The drones appear to be exclusively surveillance drones, not attack drones, and US officials say that the violation of Syrian air space is not a prelude to a US attack on Syria. It’s just the sort of surveillance that’s become “normal” for the US.
I wonder how the U.S. would react if China sent drones over our air space looking for human rights violations by our militarized swat teams?
What else would be flying there…? US and EU have no other means then war strategy, exported democracy, destruction and killing yet more people. The Danish head of the NATO Rasmussen, or if you want to call him Ratmussen is just fine with me, have said that he "don't think that Syria is Libya" which shows how educated this “man" is where he can identify countries and their locations, he also have said that Syria is not Libya, people are different there, so as "Syria geographical location and that situation in Syria is not as Libya”, which means that he still belongs to the Danish neo fascism group but NATO is not going to have a war there, they don't dare, they can not because of these people are not stupid enough to start the third world war but rather there is no Terrorist groups that they can support as they did in Libya, unless the Turkish government would start sending them to Syria, yet they have to import them from Saudis or UAE.
The purpose of the drones may not at this time be hostile, but it would not take long to arm them. In addition, they are going to be used to provide assistance to rebel forces. They are another provocation to draw Syria into a war with us. What Mr. Ditz failed to add that Ambassador Ford's dog and pony show of the bombing of Homs turned out to filled with lies. But then, facts are not important when you are manufacturing a case to overthrow a government.
I would actually welcome a world-wide understanding that every nation / private entity can send surveillance drones whereever it pleases 24/7.
Would it not be nice if all motherfuckers minded their own fucking business, unless their business is actually war, destruction, and murder!
