The Covert US War Against Syria

By Stuart Jeanne Bramhall

Russians and Chinese veto makes more and more sense as events on the ground unmask US culpability in the civil war in Syria. Yes, civil war. That s what you call it when an armed resistance takes up arms against a sovereign government.

Our bloodstained hands

One by one, the Muslim nations of the Middle East are being targeted, and taken down: but Iran is not likely to go quite as easily as the rest. Nor is Syria going to be a 'cakewalk,' as the neocons predicted the Iraq war would turn out. And there is another factor to consider: before the regime-changers can complete their mission, they must prepare the American people for the coming conflict...

The discussion on the resolution was a political manoeuvre from the outset, designed either to force Moscow and Beijing into agreeing to a UN cover for a Libya-style operation against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, or justify a predetermined alternative route to regime-change.

The Syrian crucible

Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo

In the Western media, the Syrian narrative is all about how helpless protesters are being massacred by government forces, but the reality is quite different, as this report by the Arab League monitoring mission makes clear. Of course we didn t hear much about this report when it was released: anything that goes against the Official Narrative is summarily dropped into the Memory Hole and never seen again...

''Russia absolutely must veto any UN resolution that comes at the behest of the NATO allies, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, in near the future, because it will just be an excuse for an invasion. And that will lead to a civil war so bloody, so ferocious, so murderous that it will make what happened in Libya look like a high school prom by comparison...''

Shamus Cooke, Veracity Voice: ''The Arab League again decided to extend its 'monitoring mission' in Syria. However, some Arab League nations under U.S. diplomatic control are clamoring for blood. These countries, virtual sock puppets of U.S. foreign policy, want to declare the Arab League monitoring mission 'a failure,' so that military intervention ... can be used for regime change.... This is the strategy that the U.S. is using to channel the Arab Spring into the bloody dead end of foreign military intervention.''
