It doesn't take a genius to grasp that the American president doesn't really want to attack Syria. He doesn't want to topple Assad's regime - He doesn't have an alternative partner on the ground. Instead of 'Shock and Awe' this time the Pentagon is talking about 'surgical attack'. The English speaking empire, famous for its destructive inclinations, makes the potential attack on Syria sound like a 'cosmetic effort'. No one in America, Britain, France or Israel is yet to suggest what is the goal of such an attack. What are the military initiatives? But the most crucial question is what could be the positive outcome of such a military assault? I guess that we have to admit that Obama's administration is almost as confused as the situation on the ground is. It seems as if in a relatively short time, the American administration has managed to fall into every possible trap. It is now affiliated as well as conflicting with Al-Qaeda (assuming there is such a thing), Wahhabi war-mongers, Salafi terrorists, the Muslim Brotherhood and their enemies - the Arab seculars and nationalist revolutionary forces. America has tried to appease them all, but it obviously failed in every possible front. Dropping bombs on Syria is not going to provide the goods either. A 'surgical' assault on Damascus is not going to appease America's Wahhabi partners, it may even achieve the opposite. I guess that time is ripe for Obama to re-examine America's entire interventionist doctrine, but can he? Can an American leader think for himself? Can an American leader think for America? Can an American leader think at all, or is he or her just reacting to Lobby pressure? <http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=40251994&msgid=618709&act=W9ET&c= 283016&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gilad.co.uk%2Fwritings%2Fwestern-democra cies-and-criminal-interventionism.html> Click to read more ... . Gilad Atzmon is a former Jew and former Israeli who was in the Israeli military invasion when it first invaded Lebanon under the command of Ariel Sharon. It has been pointed out to me that most of those most ardently demanding war on Syria are ethnically Jewish and ardently pro-Israeli. Senator Levin, Senator Feinstein, and Secretary of State John Kerry (though not religiously Jewish his paternal family name was originally Kohn). The "evidence" consists of tissue and hair samples proffered by Israel's spy agency, the Mossad, simultaneous to the attack near Damascus. These samples are not reliable since there is no independent third party confirmation of their provenance. Israel has a very advanced chemical weapons production facility. It would be very easy for them to fake evidence and plant it to bring the US into the conflict as Israel did with Iraq and has tried to do with Iran. Israel is a direct party to the conflict having bombed Syria several times since the first of the year. Israel wants more territory. It presently holds the Golan Heights which is part of Syria. It presently holds the West Bank which it took form Jordan. It has invaded Lebanon twice and inflicted massive amounts of civilian casualties but has been repelled by Hezbollah paramilitaries who have supported Syria in its war against the western supported terrorists. Israel is fronted in the US by AIPAC which is the most well-funded and powerful interest group in Washington. Israel covets territory in southern Lebanon and in western Iraq which it needs to further its colonial expansion. It has been inexorable in its relentless pursuit of ethnic cleansing of the indigenous Palestinian population and seizing their farms and homes to build Jewish only colonial enclaves. They need the US military might to overthrow the Syrian government and wipe out Hezbollah so Israel can further its agenda. BTW, The man who is most ardently opposing the attack on Syria is also Jewish but is not a pawn of AIPAC. That man is Alan Grayson, the progressive Democratic Congressman from Florida. ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:laamn-ow...@egroups.com?subject=laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:la...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/laamn@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
