Syria’s rebellion has long been split across a very visible line between secular military defectors and Sunni Islamists hoping to oust the current regime and turn the nation into a theocracy. And while Western statements tend to emphasize the former, it is the latter that is getting most of the weaponry.
That’s the news from a number of Western officials, who say that the vast majority of the weapons being shipped into the country are going to “exactly the ones we don’t want to have” them, the jihadist factions.
Having long dismissed the Syrian government’s claims that the rebels are “terrorists” as propaganda, the foreign aid seems to be making the claims true, propping up what were once relatively small terror-minded factions and sidelining the secular defectors.
US officials insist that they aren’t actually sending the weapons, and are claiming this proves the need for more “direct” involvement. Yet several past reports suggest that the US has been key in “facilitating” those weapons across the border from Turkey into Syria, and there is no reason to believe they will be any more efficient at smuggling US arms than Qatari arms into Syria.
Every one in this Administration and Congress with any connection to our policy in Syria must bear responsibility for what has been unleashed, and for the propaganda war they have choreographed with the MSM has allowed them to get away with it with the public for so long.
If only the Turkish government could understand that, then…, perhaps.., they would start rethinking their stupidity and stop being THE ass kisser of the Saudis things would change, in other hand that goes for the head of the NATO the Rasmussen of Denmark and rest of the Neo liberal fascism in Europe, it is whoever bizarre when noble organization giving this year peace price to EU, is a joke as when they did give it to Obama, it seams that Nobel price has become a cheap commodity so every one can get it, here even the EU militarism regime with its economical fascism got it.
Look: there are murderous, the war criminals, the torturous walking around all over in England and other country in Europe, by giving the peace price to EU is simply means that noble peace academy is legitimizing the EU brutal and inhuman wars and the war crimes committed by Tony Blair and others a like sarkozi and David Cameron in Libya.
I think what we, the unlettered public, are missing is that the arms being sent via proxy to Syria are part of an ongoing plan by the government to track the spread of weapons. When we send a pallet load of rifles to the FSA, we make note of the range of serial numbers and keep that on file. Then, when an attack on innocent civilians or US forces occurs anywhere in the world, we can capture any weapons to see of the serial number matches that of one we supplied to the FSA and voila! we will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that US-supplied weapons are being in crimes in other countries. Then, it's simply an academic exercise to backtrack the chain of custody of those weapons to arrest each person responsible for putting the weapons in unfriendly hands.
Sounds perfectly legit, right? It worked wonderfully with Mexican drug gangs, I hear.
These shipmentes are funded by state s but delivered by arms dealers. they are getting a lot of profit from these recent wars. The US government give weapons to syria's rebels but they are all AK-47 and some other kind o soviet weapons.
I'm willing to bet my but that the hairy hand of Isreal is behind all the distributing.
NOTHING new here – in the late 1940s, the vast majority of weapons sent to China to assist the 'Nationalists' went into the hands of the 'Communists'.
As to the 'rebels' in all of the Arab countries – have we not found out that they are all Radical Islamics who hate America?
Radical Islamics who hate America. LOL! Well, if America weren't invading them, occupying them, blowing to pieces by the millions, stealing their natural resources, I reckon that they may not hate you as much. Sounds that just like in Viet Nam, you have nothing but your imperialism and terrorism to blame for it.
Oh, by the way, it's not really called hate, it's called BLOWBACK!
Jason Ditz could have known this a year ago. USA did build up those Jihadi fighters for guerrilla war against the communist government in Afghanistan. They had liberal communist afghan women groups there. It was a good time for woman and all people. Than the did sent the Jihadist to Bosnia in the Yugoslav civil war which USA and Germany had prepared and conducted, than Libya and now to Syria.
There is nothing new it is everyday business since decades. About a year ago and sometimes repeatedly when it fits, I did sent this:
USA has partnered with Islamist extremist :
Ex-CIA officer: Braindead West wants Jihadists to rule Libya (at 5:00):
French defense expert:
At 3:50: USA they "have a secret agreement with the Jihadists: YOU GET THE SHARIA AND WE GET THE OIL"
globalresearch.ca reporter from Libya:
13:20 NTC people told me, it was the USA who brought in Al Qaida. Libyans do not want the islamists, but the US wants them and is controlling them.
I have a question: what's the difference between a "Jihadist" and an American gone postal?
Well…slap blue paint on me and call me babe. Where else have we ever heard of the Empire arming the natives only to have them turn against their invaders? Hmmm…lemme see if I can come up with an example or two…
