Militants seize 43 UN peacekeepers in Syria



This file photo shows the line that separates Syria from the Israeli occupied lands on Golan Heights.

A UN spokesman says an “armed group” is holding 43 UN peacekeepers in the occupied Golan Heights while another 81 are trapped.

The UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) personnel were detained on Thursday near Quneitra during fighting between Syrian government forces and foreign-backed militants.

The incident comes a day after militants, believed to be affiliated with the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front, took control of a crossing into the Israeli-occupied Syrian territory of the Golan Heights.

UNDOF currently has 1,223 troops from India, Fiji, Nepal, Ireland, the Netherlands and the Philippines.

“The United Nations is making every effort to secure the release of the detained peacekeepers and to restore the full freedom of movement of the force throughout its area of operation,” the office of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in a statement.

Al-Qaeda-linked militants are operating against the Syrian government forces and stray mortar rounds have hit the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on several occasions.

Over 170,000 people have reportedly been killed and millions displaced due to the turmoil fueled by the foreign-backed Takfiri terrorists in Syria since March 2011.

The Golan Heights has been under the Israeli occupation since the 1960s. The Tel Aviv regime captured the Golan Heights during the Six-Day War of 1967.

It annexed the Golan Heights in 1981, although the move was never recognized by the international community and was a violation of international law.

The UN Security Council has rejected the de facto annexation in Resolution 497. The UN also regards the Golan Heights as an occupied territory.

Don't ask me who is fighting who, I simply have no idea.

President Obama said Thursday he doesn’t have a strategy yet for defeating Islamist militants in Syria.

“I don’t want to put the cart before the horse,” Mr. Obama said in a news conference at the White House. “We don’t have a strategy yet. As our strategy develops, we will consult with Congress.”


Right. That should really re-assure people. Thing is, even if you haven't a clue what to do, YOU DON'T GO ON TV AND SAY SO.

Obama never ceases to amaze.

He sure doesn't....fuller report on the latest blah blah....

The end:


On his part, Pres. Obama added that the US has ruled out the possibility of a military response.

“We are not taking military action to solve the Ukrainian problem. What we’re doing is to mobilize the international community to apply pressure on Russia. But I think it is very important to recognize that a military solution for this problem is not going to be forthcoming,” he said.

“Ukraine is not a member of NATO, but a number of those states who are close by are,” he added, “and we take our Article Five commitments to defend each other very seriously — and that includes the smallest NATO member as well as the largest.”

Sources say Putin is currently dancing round the Kremlin shouting, Who's the daddy?

Especially as Obama wants Europe to put on 'more sanctions'. He doubtless doesn't think there are enough revolting peasants in Europe already......

So, when is that NATO meeting in Swansea (is it)?

In about a week, Lily. Do you think he'll have an Idea by then?

If he doesn't, he might get some help.

He might at least think about stopping ISIS selling oil on the black market. Though I suppose the CIA wouldn't like it if that little earner on the side was stopped.

I don't think I've ever seen a US president gaily announce that they hadn't a clue what to do about some international crisis before. Even if it was all hot air and bluster, they've all managed to give at least the impression of being on top of events.

I think he doesn't care any more, Bonny. He's given up and it shows.

I feel for the wonderful people in the military though.

The only good thing I can think of to say is that at least he's not going to get any more of your best young men and women killed in pointless wars overseas. Meanwhile, God knows who is pouring through your southern borders....

And here's a thing. As NSA spies on every single person on the US, how did they manage to miss a nest of ISIS supporters in Minnesota? Were they ignored in case NSA was accused of being 'racist'?

He indicated that for the time being, the U.S. will continue to conduct airstrikes in northern Iraq and humanitarian missions, while working politically and diplomatically to "cobble together" a coalition for whatever the long-term strategy is.

To that end, he said he is sending Secretary of State John Kerry to the region to build a "coalition" to confront the threat.

Well, they can certainly all agree on one thing - they all hate Kerry.

Ah yes...the Open Society. Someone is having a laugh.....

The Philippine defence chief says Filipino UN peacekeepers in the Golan Heights have been attacked by Syrian rebels who are also holding dozens of Fijian troops hostage.

Defence Secretary Voltaire Gazmin told reporters on Saturday in a series of text messages that Filipino troops manning one UN encampment have been "extricated," while soldiers in another encampment were "now under attack".

Gazmin said the attack started early on Saturday Syrian time.

He did not say whether there were any casualties. Asked how the troops were doing, he said they had "high morale.".

Syrian rebels seized 44 Fijian peacekeepers two days ago and have demanded that 75 Filipinos manning two separate UN encampments surrender their weapons, but they have refused.

More soon...


Get John McCain to negotiate their release - he'll be glad to see his jihadists chums again.

Well worth a read, on the origins of ISIS, and what can be done about them:

http://www.infowars.com/the-covert-origins-of-isis/

If the world truly wants to stop ISIS, there is only one way to do it:

1. First and foremost, the U.S. government and its allies must be heavily pressured to cut all support to the rebels who are attempting to topple Assad. Even if these rebels that the U.S. is arming and funding were moderate, and they’re not, the fact that they are forcing Assad to fight a war on multiple fronts, only strengthens ISIS. This is lunacy.

2. The Syrian government should be provided with financial support, equipment, training and intelligence to enable them to turn the tide against ISIS. This is their territory, they should be the ones to reclaim it.

Now obviously this support isn’t going to come from the U.S. or any NATO country, but there are a number of nations who have a strategic interest in preventing another regime change and chaotic aftermath. If these countries respond promptly, as in right now, they could preempt a U.S. intervention, and as long this support does not include the presence of foreign troops, doing so will greatly reduce the likelihood of a major confrontation down the road.

3. The U.S. government and its allies should should be aggressively condemned for their failed regime change policies and the individuals behind these decisions should be charged for war crimes. This would have to be done on an nation by nation level since the U.N. has done nothing but enable NATO aggression. While this may not immediately result in these criminals being arrested, it would send a message. This can be done. Malaysia has already proven this by convicting the Bush administration of war crimes in abstentia.

Interesting, is it not, that the US has imposed yet more sanctions on Iran and Russia, both nations that have been actively helping fight ISIS?

Maybe Cameron should consider getting the ball rolling by handing over Middle East Peace Envoy T. Blair to ISIS in return for a promise to stay out of the UK? Seems fair to me.....

Same link:

Then in May of 2014 PBS ran a report in which they interviewed rebels who were trained by the U.S. in Qatar. According to those rebels they were being trained to finish off soldiers who survived attacks.

“They trained us to ambush regime or enemy vehicles and cut off the road,” said the fighter, who is identified only as “Hussein.” “They also trained us on how to attack a vehicle, raid it, retrieve information or weapons and munitions, and how to finish off soldiers still alive after an ambush.”

This is a blatant violation of the Geneva conventions. It also runs contrary to conventional military strategy. In conventional military strategy soldiers are better off left wounded, because this ends up costing the enemy more resources. Executing captured enemy soldiers is the kind of tactic used when you want to strike terror in the hearts of the enemy. It also just happens to be standard operating procedure for ISIS.

One month after this report, in June of 2014, ISIS made its dramatic entry, crossing over the Syrian border into Iraq, capturing Mosul, Baiji and almost reaching Baghdad. The internet was suddenly flooded with footage of drive by shootings, large scale death marches, and mass graves. And of course any Iraqi soldier that was captured was executed.

Massive quantities of American military equipment were seized during that operation. ISIS took entire truckloads of humvees, they took helicopters, tanks, and artillery. They photographed and video taped themselves and advertised what they were doing on social media, and yet for some reason Washington didn’t even TRY to stop them.

U.S. military doctrine clearly calls for the destruction of military equipment and supplies when friendly forces cannot prevent them from falling into enemy hands, but that didn’t happen here. ISIS was allowed to carry this equipment out of Iraq and into Syria unimpeded. The U.S. military had the means to strike these convoys, but they didn’t lift a finger, even though they had been launching drone strikes in Pakistan that same week.

Why would they do that?

Because the monster hadn't yet turned on its creators?

Good for the imams!

Indeed!!

Arch-Lizard Henry Kissinger bemoans the way so many awkward people in 'backward' parts of the world have failed to fall in line with assorted schemes for the fabled New World Order:

How very dare the plebs spoil things for the megalomaniac kleptocrats!

Is that like Atlantis do you think?

I'm astounded that Kissinger is 'only' 91, Lily. He seemed old-ish back in Nixon's day. I wonder, maybe no-one's told him about this internetty thing, and that the plebs can now read his laments because his schemes have come off the rails?

He still attends some of those globalist meetings. I reckon he could be one of the dinosaurs that actually never went extinct?

Here's the good news for Obama.

The US embassy in Tripoli has been 'secured' so it can't get damaged any further in the ongoing chaos.

Here's the bad news for Obama.

It's been 'secured' by Islamic militia.

From:

http://rt.com/news/184092-us-embassy-libya-seize/

The Dawn of Libya, an Islamist militia group, has said that it has secured the US embassy compound in the Libyan capital Tripoli, more than a month after US staff evacuated the building.

Although windows at the compound have been smashed, most of the equipment that had been left by the Americans remained untouched, according to an AP journalist who was invited by the militants to have a look around.

A commander of the militia group said that his forces have been in control of the former embassy since last week.

A poorly-filmed video has appeared on YouTube showing men, who may or may not be the Islamic militants, fooling around by the swimming pool, while some of them perform reckless dives from an upper balcony into the shallow pool.



Yup, they're having great fun in the swimming pool.

They sure are. Hmm...

I am sure you are thrilled skinny to see your tax dollars being put to such good use, Lily.
