The humanitarian concerns of officials in the U.S. with the plight of Kurds in Kobani could not be more different than what occurred in Iraq when ISIS forces made a push into Kurdish territory. When the Kurdish city of Erbil was under attack by ISIS, U.S. forces unleashed the full power of its air force in tactical coordination with Kurdish forces to push ISIS back.
So what is the difference in the two situations?
The difference and the reason why the Kurds of Kobani are to be sacrificed stems from the fact that they are the wrong kind of Kurds. Masoud Barzani and the bourgeois Kurds of the Kurdish Democratic Party (KDP) are the “good Kurds” and the predominant force among the Kurds of Iraq. Their control of almost 45% of Iraqi oil reserves and the booming business that they have been involved in with U.S. oil companies and Israel since their “liberation” with the U.S. invasion makes them a valued asset for the U.S. The same goes for Turkey where despite the historic oppression of Kurds in Turkey, the government does a robust business with the Kurds of Iraq.
The situation is completely different in the Kurdish self-governing zones in Syria. In Kobani, it is the Kurdish People’s Protection Units, or Y.P.G., that is linked to the Kurdistan Workers Party (P.K.K), a Turkey-based Kurdish independence organization that both the U.S. and Turkey have labeled a “terrorist” organization, that provides the main forces resisting the ISIS attack. Also, the ISIS attack in Kurdish territory neatly converges with the strategic interests of Turkey. Both the U.S. and Turkey saw the control of territory by militant Kurds as a threat. Turkey in particular wanted to undermine the self-governing process among Kurds, Christians and Sunni Arabs in those self-governing zones and turn the territory into a battlefield in order to steal Syrian territory and isolate and attack the “bad” Kurds of the PKK.

The article highlights that the mighty US Air Force (that was conveniently AWOL on 9/11) is token bombing IS in and around Kobani while bombing empty buildings and gran silos in Syria. I would add that the RAF is doing something very similar. Islamic State were proclaimed a threat to ht every existence of the universe, like Islamic anti-matter. Yet we sent just 6 Tornadoes, they flew six missions before they dropped a bomb, and that was on one puck up truck. And this was Islamic State advanced on Baghdad and Kobani and everywhere else they have taken over in the last two weeks despite the mighty US Air Force (that was conveniently AWOL on 9/11) bombing and bombing and bombing whatever it has been bombing.
This is, as Webster Tarpley describes it, a phony war. I knew it would be because the true purpose of this military action is to oust Assad, using Islamic State in whatever way works.
If it means sacrificing 'bad' Kurds at Kobani to provide a humanitarian catastrophe in order to demand a No Fly Zone, a buffer zone or whatever zone then so be it.
The Americans sacrificed James Foley.
We sacrificed David Haines and Alan Henning.
At stake is the fate of humanity.
The Saudi-Qatar-Jordan-Turkey-US-UK-France Axis of Evil wants a pipeline to eventually control the whole of the Pars field, currently shared between Qatar and Iran.
One pipeline is planned to transport gas from the Pars from Qatar through Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and Turkey and on to Europe, to ween Europe off Russian energy.
An alternative pipeline, favoured by President Assad of Syria, is to transport Pars gas from Iran through Iraq and Syria and Lebanon, but protecting Russia.
So why is it important for humanity that the latter pipeline is built?
The reasons are twofold:
1. if Assad is ousted and the Qatari proposal is built it means that the people in London, Washington, Wall Street, Tel Aviv and Riyadh who planned and executed 9/11, and who unleashed international cutthroat Jihadis onto Syria and Lebanon will have won;
2. if the Qatari pipeline is built it will reduce the power of Russia by reducing Russia's income and influence, and Russia under Putin is posing a great threat to the powers in London, Washington, Tel Aviv and Riyadh, particularly after Russia under Putin was the driving force behind the creation of the BRICS Development Bank which poses a huge threat to the IMF/World Bank apparatus controlled by the London that has sucked the life out of the planet for decades.
This is why it is imperative, absolutely essential that President Assad remains in power.
