BACK TO SYRIA

Now that the conference on Somalia is over, Syria is back on the agenda.

Webster Tarpley has issued a false flag warning that he has received intelligence from reliable sources that an attempt will be made to blame the Syrian government of using snipers to kill 17 children.
A reliable Russian source in Syria warns that al Jazeera is about to launch within hours a major false flag provocation. Al Jazeera will allege that 17 children have been killed by Assad’s forces. These children are already dead, and have been killed by NATO death squads. The goal is to create an atmosphere of hysteria at the Tunis “Friends of Syria” conference today Friday, which otherwise threatens to be a fiasco due to the boycott by Russia, China, and Lebanon, and due to the fragmented nature of the Syria opposition.

Please spread this story as fast as you can as a highest priority False Flag Alert.

The headline of The Guardian today may be related to this.
The UN has accused the Syrian regime of "crimes against humanity" – including the use of snipers against small children – and has drawn up a list of senior officials who should face investigation, reportedly including President Bashar al-Assad.

There is a conference of "Friends of Syria" on Syria in Tunisia today.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she wanted to see progress on three fronts - providing humanitarian relief, increasing pressure on the regime and preparing for a democratic transition of power.

Now that does not sound neutral to me. It is open statement that Clintonella de Vil wants Assad out.

And this feeling is reinforced in an Opinion piece in the FT. Written by Emile Nakhleh, an ex-CIA analyst, it proposes a half-baked scheme to lull Assad into a war.
It is time for the west to help the Syrian opposition remove Bashar al-Assad’s regime and save the Syrian people from further slaughter. If the west fails to support Syria’s opposition immediately, the city of Homs – and its population of more than 1m people – will face the fate of its sister city Hama, which was destroyed by Mr Assad’s father Hafez 30 years ago.

...So what should be done? The assistance should begin with establishing a haven for the opposition and the military personnel who defect from the regime, as in northern Iraq in 1991. Food, water, clothes, medical supplies and technical equipment should be dropped into the safety zone. Ankara would have to play a critical role in planning, and ultimately in maintaining and supplying the zone, as it would almost certainly have to be contiguous to Turkey.

If Syrian forces violate the sanctuary, the west should arm the opposition and work with military defectors to organise more effective resistance. If that fails to deter the regime’s brutality and more deaths occur, the west should consider putting a limited number of “boots on the ground”, beginning with the “liberated” zone.

To quote The Graduate,
Me : Emile Nakhleh, this whole idea sounds pretty half baked.
Emile Nakhleh: No, it's not. It's completely baked.


Nakhleh uses the example of Iraq in 1991. What happened during Desert Storm? We encouraged an uprising against Saddam, then betrayed it, allowing Saddam to easily identify all his opposition, who he then slaughtered.

If you read the piece it is very one-sided because it does not address anywhere the widely known facts that NATO Special Forces are in Syria assisting the Syrian al Qaeda rebels, and have been for a while. They are using the same trick they used in Libya; foment a civil war, call for humanitarian assistance, then bomb the hell out of the country and hand it over to al Qaeda.
