Re: Syrian terrorists being trained by US

He's ripped apart the hypocrisy and lying which has surrounded just about everything in the Middle East in the last few years, hasn't he? I am not sure I even want to know what Langley has been up to - I suspect it would scare even us, and others who realised something was far wrong a good while back. And that the West was NOT the good guy any more.

I really cannot see the mighty Saudi or Qatari armies doing a great deal, frankly - guarding spoiled princes and their sports cars, hookers and cocaine is more their dead strength. They have doubtless been paying mercenaries in Syria, and hired hands won't stick around if Russia is bombarding them.

I doubt if the hired hands would even face Hezbollah, who are driven more by Arab nationalism than religion.

I don't think they will do a good job either. Conundrum.

The last thing the administration needs is for Americans to begin questioning why the US is supporting the very same Sunni extremist groups that Washington has for years held up as the biggest threat to humanity since the Reich. And so, it looks like Kerry may be willing to walk back the anti-Assad line.

Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, isn’t ready to throw in the towel. As Reuters notes, Riyadh is still clinging to the utterly absurd idea that in order to defeat ISIS, Assad must be removed. That’s amusing for any number of reasons, not the least of which are i) if Saudi Arabia and Qatar were interested in eradicating ISIS, they might have considered not supporting them in the first place, and ii) the only person actually fighting ISIS is Assad (via Russia and Iran of course)

The U.S. has told Iraq's leaders they must choose between ongoing American support in the battle against militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and asking the Russians to intervene instead

Another genius move by Washington; stand by for a rash of Long live Putin banners in Baghdad.

We invaded your country and trashed it, looking for non-existent WMDs, we've been supplying weapons to terrorists that have slaughtered your people, but hey, trust us, not those nasty Russkis that are wiping out our pet terrorists.

You really couldn't make it up.

Poor dear.

Looks like he was shot in the head. So, it could have been:

1. One of his chums.

2. Russian spetsnaz.

3. Assad loyalist sleeper.

4. Mossad in case he talked.

5. CIA in case he talked.

Oh dear. What a shame. Never mind.

I doubt if it will get in the Western MSM, Lily, and even if it did, too many people would rather stick their fingers in their ears and go back to watching the Kardashians.

An interesting piece - and I suspect the refugee camp near the Russian airbase is just about the safest spot in the Middle East right now.

Quote:

Well now, just days ahead of elections in Turkey which Erdogan is banking on to restore AKP's absolute majority at the expense of popular support for the pro-Kurdish HDP, the Turkish army has now attacked the very same Kurdish fighters that the US just supplied with 50 tons of ammo two weeks ago. Here's The New York Times:

Turkey has confirmed that it struck positions in Syria held by Kurdish militias that over the last year have become the most important allies within Syria of the American-led coalition fighting the Islamic State.

The confirmation of the strikes, which the Kurds said took place over the weekend, adds a new level of complexity to the United States’ struggle to put together a coherent strategy to fight the Islamic State in Syria. It also increases tensions between the United States and Turkey, which are nominally allies in the battle against the militant group, but whose interests diverge substantially.

In an interview on a Turkish news channel Monday night, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu of Turkey did not specify when the strikes had taken place, but he said they came after Ankara warned Kurdish fighters not to move west of the Euphrates River.

“We struck them twice,” Mr. Davutoglu said.

The Turkish strikes were in Tal Abyad, a largely Arab border town that the Kurds captured from the Islamic State over the summer. The strikes appear to have been limited — they were said to involve machine-gun fire from across the border and did not seem to cause much damage — but they could suggest a new determination by Turkey to expand military operations against the American-allied group.

Stunning! What a complete and utter clusterf*ck! It would almost be funny, if so many people were not being killed and maimed by these lunatics.
