America’s Stubborn and Stupid Syrian Policy


I could not believe it when I saw it on CNN News, or was it CBS, anyway, the American Policy Makers saw only one possible policy in Syria, and that was to arm the ‘Moderate’ Opposition, What Moderate Opposition are they talking about?    The original Moderate Opposition was from the Junior Officer Corps of the Syrian Army who thought that the Syrian Civil War would go as mildly as Egypt, Tunis, or even Libya… that is what the American State Department had promised them – “Take to the Streets, stir up trouble, and in 60 days the Country will be yours”… whose idea was that?  Hillary’s.  Keating’s.   Well, both were horrible Secretaries of State…. Secretaries of State need to be Career Government People – outside of the pull of appealing to voters for their next big bid for Power… indeed, most Government Officials should be Career Government – outside of the pull of appealing to voters for their next big bid for power.  Anyway, after the first six months of the Civil War, many of these Young Officers reached out and begged to be taken back.  They confessed that they had been egged on by the CIA and promised Posts in the New Government but that they were sorry and wanted to come back and fight for the Legitimate Government.    Assad took them back.   When you hear on the News about the Free Syrian Army, well, its just propaganda at this point… most of the Free Syrian Army went back to the Real Syrian Army.  Their choice was to fight with the Government that had given Syria a Secular (none-religiously biased) Government for so many years, or fight side by side with all the Crazy Sectariains and Religious Fanatics.   What would any sane young officer choose?    So who is this “Moderate Opposition”?   Who ever they are are they are the little pussy cats who have been losing the Civil War to everyone whom they have gone against, indeed, the reason why ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) is so powerful, with all its tanks and artillery, was that it was able to snatch all of that stuff away from the poor little trembling and afraid Moderate Opposition.   Read History.  Revolutions are not won by Moderates.  Crazy Violent People win revoltutions… or they can be successfully opposed by Civilized, Ordered and well-funded Governments.    And in Syria today the only Government unified enough to do anything belongs to President Assad.

 

Why does America hate that guy?   When neither America or Israel could bring order to Lebanon, during their Civil War, Syria was able to step in and smooth things out… Perfectly?, well, no…. Hezbollah was included in the mix, but, really, what was Israel and America worried about, as Hezbollah had perhaps 3 or 4% of the military capacity of Israel… they could be nothing more than a nuisance.  So are we to Hate Assad simply because he solved a problem that no one else could solve while leaving a little tiny nuisance behind?   Yes, America is that stupid sometimes.  It comes from all the Crazy Money from the Pro-Israeli PACS, which accounts for most of the Money going into influencing American Political Campaigns.   Most Money going to Both Political Parties in America is sourced from Israel or collected in America from Organization based in Israel.  Therefore American Polititians – Presidents, Senators, Congressman, really have no Free Will when it comes to voting on issues involving the Mid East … the only way to be elected and stay elected is to Vote what the Crazy Israeli Right Wing wants you to Vote… and, we can’t repeat it too much – THEY ARE CRAZY!   But their dollars are green and that is all the American Political Establishment cares about, apparently.

 

But, if Common Sense ruled the day, then everyone who wanted ISIS defeated would recognize the fact that their best bet would be by backing President Assad of Syria.  A Tyrant?  Well, only in the sense that his Political Organization is Secularist.  The only people who have a problem with President Assad are the Crazy Religious Sectarians who believe that Allah wants them to Rule All and to subjugate all of the heretics and infidels who just coincidentally are not members of their Tribe and Clan.  But it can be said that Assad stands in the way of Democracy.  Duh!?  Democracy would bring into power all of the Crazy People… look at what happened in Egypt… the first free Election brought into power people direct from the Mentality of the 14th Century – religious Nut Cases who instantly went to work to destroy Secular Principles and Fairness and Equality.  While Majorities in the Middle East are Politically Irrational because of Ethnic or Sectarian Biases, Democracy simply must be put On Hold.   And so it is a bit silly to punish Assad for doing the only rational thing that any rational Leader would do… or maybe the PACs from Israel have been remiss in not paying off Assad just as well as they pay off the American Politicians.   But for a Tyrant, maybe Assad is the only Honest Man left in the whole mix… certainly all of the Americans are paid off…
