Meeting with his Iraqi counterpart Hoshyar Zebari today, Secretary of State John Kerry pushed Iraqis once again to do more to prevent weaponry from reaching either side in the ongoing Syrian Civil War.
This is an old issue, as Kerry and other US officials have repeatedly demanded that Iraq ban Iranian cargo planes from their airspace, claiming they have weapons on board for the Syrian government.
Iraq has spurned that demand time and again, repeatedly trying to placate the US by agreeing to search the planes, but coming up empty and saying they have no evidence to support the US allegation.
The US demands are now flowing both ways, with Kerry also warning Iraq to do more to prevent al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) from smuggling weapons and fighters into neighboring Syria.
That has been a major problem, but it’s one that Iraq has no real way of stopping. What’s more, with Kerry one of the leading proponents of arms to Syria’s rebels, the demands for Iraq to do more to prevent weapons to other rebel factions inevitably rings very hollow.
US warns of risen Al-Queada in Iraq…., pushes Iran to stop flights to Syria? Is that means that US government have a contract with Al-Queda to give Syria or part of it to Al-Queda as Bush father did with Taliban-Wahhabis giving them Afghanistan as their religious sanctuary while they were fighting Russians "socialist-communist" red army there, while US+England-France were helping to empower the the Iranian Islamic republic replacing the Iranian people demands for a functioning democracy where their uprising got to a point for US+England+France to support an Islamic republic rather then people's democracy? That was 40 years ago, 20 years before that US and English government orchestrated another cop de Etta against an democratic elected government of Iran chosen by the Iranian people for the Iranian people. Now in 2013 they still have the same mentality toward nations around the world, the only thing has changed is the faces, yet the acts are coherent in accordance with the time.
Look: US and English or French or Germans government always been making mistakes, they only look where they can get their hands on people's wealth, democracy…, what democracy?
If the goal is to ship enough illegal arms to Syria to help AQ in Iraq us policy is working very well.
