onjig Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 A major transition in US counter-terrorism doctrine is unfolding. While Barack Obama, following in the footsteps of George W. Bush, remains firmly committed to waging a “Global War on Terrorism” (GWOT), his administration is now openly supporting selected rebel units in Syria which are part of the Al Qaeda network. Known and documented, Al Qaeda is a creation of the CIA, which has covertly supported the “Islamic Terror Network” since the heyday of the Soviet Afghan war. While Al Qaeda is a US sponsored “intelligence asset”, a “New Normal” has been established. An Al Qaeda affiliated organization, namely Syria’s Al Nusrah, is being supported “overtly” by the US President, rather than “covertly” by the CIA. http://www.globalresearch.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Jabhat-Al-Nusra.jpgThe support of Al Nusrah, an affiliate of al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), is no longer channeled in secrecy as part of a CIA-MI6 covert operation, it is now being supported –in a semi-official fashion– as part of a US foreign policy agenda. The latter is also part of America’s diplomatic discourse, implemented in consultation with Britain, Canada, Germany and France. Although Al Nusrah was not mentioned explicitly, “support to the Syrian rebels” was the main topic of debate at the June 2013 G-8 meetings in Northern Ireland. While intelligence covert ops continue to perform an important role, Washington’s support to Al Qaeda in Syria is now “out in the open”, within the public domain. It is no longer part of a secret undertaking. It is part of the mainstay of US foreign policy, carried out under the helm of Secretary of State John Kerry. “Support to the rebels” is also debated in the US Congress. It is the object of a bill which has already been adopted by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Senator Corker who co-sponsored the bill stated that: “The future for Syria is uncertain, but the U.S. has a vested interest in trying to prevent an extremist takeover, which poses a very real risk for us and the region,” (emphasis added) In a twisted logic, the bill purports to prevent “an extremist takeover” by supporting an Al Qaeda terrorist formation. The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations voted 15-3 in favor of the proposed bill. http://www.globalresearch.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/randpaul.jpgIronically, the pro-Israeli lobby was also actively involved in lobbying in favor of aid to jihadist rebels. Israel has supported Al Nusrah militarily in areas adjacent to the occupied territories of the Golan Heights. Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky (left) voted against the bill, warning: “You will be funding today the allies of al Qaeda” (quoted by RT) Al Qaeda, Osama and “The Blowback” Everybody knows that Al Qaeda is now directly supported by the US government. The implications are far-reaching. Obama’s decision not only undermines the legitimacy of the “Global War on Terrorism” (GWOT), it also casts doubt on the “blowback” thesis. Moreover, it begs the embarrassing question: Why is the US president supporting Al Nusrah, which is on the US State Department list of terrorist organizations? http://www.globalresearch.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/125982.jpgThe CIA refers to the so-called “blowback” thesis whereby an “intelligence asset”, (i.e. the Islamic jihad) is said to “have gone against its sponsors”; ” The sophisticated methods taught to the Mujahideen, and the thousands of tons of arms supplied to them by the US – and Britain – are now tormenting the West in the phenomenon known as `blowback’, whereby a policy strategy rebounds on its own devisers. (The Guardian, London, September 15, 2001). “What we’ve created blows back in our face.” The US government and the CIA are portrayed as the ill-fated victims. The CIA had been tricked by a deceitful Osama. It’s like “a son going against his father”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onjig Posted June 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 On this forum under: International is a thread, The Truth about Syria. Johannes started, he is right there, one of us who lives in Syria. In this informative first hand thread is shown that the crazies are attacking, Christians, Armenians, committing terrible crimes and enjoying it. It shows also Armenians fighting the wild people to defend the country they live in and are loyal to. The Muslim in Washington wants now to give the Crazies more weapons and training to kill the Syrian people, many of them are Armenian. He plans again to use our Air Force, as was done in Libia, that will mean bombing and strafing the Armenians as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
