Al Qaeda Resurfaces in a Timeless Repertoire of Violence comprised of SAMs, AK-47’s, IEDs provided by WORLDWIDE Sunni Support from Turkey, UAE, Qatar,  Saudi Arabia—and our CIA.  

American National Security in a Thirty Year Tailspin –heading for a CRASH LANDING!!

 

Obama in part acquired the legitimacy of his re-election on a complete lie –that he ordered the “killing of Osama-Bin –Laden”.  A corpse already infested with worms and genetic mutations of Marfan Syndrome.

Next Obama went on to elaborate another false narrative,  later delineated in CIA-inspired and funded film by the once talented and politically impartial Kathryn Bigelow.  That her integrity was comprised is of little concern to me or the country.

  Obama went on to spin another incredible tale of ‘spontaneous attacks’ in Benghazi where four Americans were brutally killed under the constant surveillance of our own military and CIA.

  Again, nothing was done, other than his willingness to initiate desultory discussions about the mendicant Susan Rice and the ever prevaricator Hillary Clinton.  

Now Obama has created a situation where he and his dysfunctional national security has dedicated America’s support to the “Syrian Freedom Fighters” against  the “Dictator” Bashar Assad.

  The fact is that there are no experts in the administration on the Middle East except for the self-designating ‘choir-boys’,  there is not one person in his administration who has either worked with or against Hafez Assad—Bashar’s ruthless father who killed over twenty Islamic Brotherhood members in Homs---thirty years ago in order to avoid any of today’s present problems.

  But once again an onslaught of incompetence,  ignorance,  arrogance and bad faith repeats itself as we re-arm the al-Nusra Front--- a thinly veiled Al Qaeda.  This was the very same group which killed thousands and maimed even more thousands of American soldiers in the disastrous invasion of Iraq which inadvertently dissolved the country into a civil war which allowed the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Ayatollah Khamenei to re-emerge as the predominant leaders in the region, once a minority.   Thanks to the incompetent intervention of our military troops in Iraq we inadvertently created the toughest,  most disciplined Sunni fighters whom are now migrating into Syria as the so-called "freedom fighters"….

There are no "Freedom Fighters".    In the world of ‘terrorism’ whoever fights against the power in situ is automatically called ‘freedom fighters’ and the ruling power is called  tyrannical—that’s the nature of the justification that our military/civilian/ contract fighters need for money in order to acquire ‘mass weapons of killing’. 

  It’s the same everywhere—Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan.

  Of course,  as we know from the movie "Lord of War",  no one likes to provide money more than the Saudis, French, British, Chinese, Russians, Qataris and Israelis.  So  its a bit ironic when the Salafists scream “God is Great! And Down With Israel” as they are holding an Israeli made UZI or American provided AK-47 from the cornucopia of weapons amassed in our defeated war zones.   You see we don’t really bring back our weapons to the states,  it’s too costly so we just sell it to ‘merchants of death’--- Britain, France, England, China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, UAE---most of the members of the UN Perm Five. 

In this Syrian conundrum,  I feel very strongly that from the very beginning we picked the wrong side.  I have made that very clear in previous blogs.   But more importantly,  the US expected Turkey to act as an intermediator which is a very responsible,  mature position to assume in international foreign relations.  However,   Prime Minister Erdogan really was unable to fulfill that role as an international statesman.  Instead,  he resorted to his old tricks that he played out when he was mayor of Istanbul where he instigated the right wing of his Democracy and Justice Party---  (a diaphanous cover for the Salafists in his organization) and arrested journalists and twenty –five military officers whom he claimed were attempting a coup against his administration.

  I can assure you my readers of one thing.  I have seen the Turkish Army in action in several different areas of the world.  And if they wanted to “neutralize’  Erdogan –they would have—with very little trouble.  But without the secular army in Turkey,  Erdogan is turning his country more and more towards the Salafist orientation of the Middle East.  That transmutation will cost him commerce,  increase military spending and a potential for a serious fragmentation of Turkey by the Kurds who constitute over one third of Turkey’s population.

  Surprisingly,  Putin has played a more passive role than I  had expected.  Maybe the Russian Bear is waiting to see what the outcome will be before they consolidate their power in the region. 

  As for France and Britain,  they have since the beginning of the twentieth century,  recapitulated their complete irrelevance to the Twenty First Century International Diplomacy. 

  As for NATO and the UN –they are the ‘cover’ for the USG.  Nothing more can be said. 

  And now,  for Obama--- he may squeaked his way into a second term.
But he is quickly entering the Pantheon of possibly being our worst president in the history of America.

The lies,  the muddled background,  the lack of domestic achievement, and the complete fantasy of foreign policy achievements leave Obama probably the most sociopathic POTUS since Bill Clinton—constituting the first Presidential folie a deux.

 

Simple Advice to Obama:  Get rid of your national security team!

  You don’t need the shibboleth of ‘Old Chicago’ Mafioso,  Irish Catholic ex-Clintonites.  Ask your Rasputin in Drag—Valerie Jarret—She knows that I am right. !!
  Remember the motto on the Royal coat of Arms,

Honi soit qui mal y pense.
  Bad things happen to people who have bad thoughts!!!! Good luck. !!!!
