White House And Jihadists Lie To further Agenda

The American people are at war with their own president. It is now clearer now than ever before that the Obama Administration is looking the American people in the eye and lying. What could they be thinking when they send UN Ambassador Susan Rice out on the Sunday morning talk show circuit to lie about the events that have exploded in Muslim countries around the world. Rice has been justifying the actions against US property and it’s citizens throughout Muslim countries as a reaction to the obscure internet video “Innocence Of Muslims”. 

Rice: “We are of the view that this is not a expression of hostilities, in the broader view of that toward the United States or American policy. But a reaction to the video that had nothing to do with the United states, which we find disgusting and reprehensible.” 

If this is true then why have we not heard from Muslim groups within the United States. The group CAIR has always been the first to call out any “disgusting and reprehensible” activities against the Muslim community so why have they been so quiet? Well they must have received  a call from the White House. 9/12/12 In a prepared statement, CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad on Capitol Hill in Washington shared several instances of Mohammad turning the other cheek. In the news conference he also said 

"We agree with Secretary Clinton, who said that 'violence like this is no way to honor religion or faith.' The extremists who carried out these attacks deserve punishment, and the extremists who produced and promoted an intentionally inflammatory film deserve condemnation.” 

In conclusion Awad capped off his statement with this "We must not let extremists control the political or religious discourse. That means that people of all beliefs should repudiate those who would commit acts of violence in response to intentional provocations and repudiate those whose only goal is offending religious sentiments." 

So according to CAIR extremists made the video with intent to anger the Muslim world, why would anyone do that? Awad follows the White House line that the assassination of Ambassador Stevens was carried out by extremists in retaliation for the video. Did he watch the video? Has he realized that the attack was on 9/11 and that protesters invoked the name of Osama Bin Laden. I find it interesting that the CIAR statement follows the irrational thinking coming out of the Obama Administration. So far everyone that has been commenting on the video has not described any extreme or radical anti-Islamic view that the video expresses. Well i did watch a bit of the video and i found it quite funny. 

The United States has many people from many places in the world that have many customs. The cornerstone of freedom in the United States is the ability for an individual to do, say and express their opinion. Without this constitutional right this blog and many others would not be possible. How many people around the world have the ability to openly criticize their government and the officials that make serious blunders affecting millions of people in their country and around the world. 

The Obama propaganda machine is spreading their lies like soft smelly manure through the national media in an attempt to obscure the truth about the shortcomings of the White House. The president along with Valerie Jarrett David Axelrod Tom Donilon hillary clinton and the pipsqueek to the UN Susan Rice have all conspired in pulling the wool over the eyes of  America. These anti-American socialists have failed in their attempt to “Fundamentally change America” their views and actions have resulted in so many failures that that are too many to recount. This international slap in the face by the people of the Muslim faith is a reaction to official US government policy of scorched earth and screw. President Obama refuses to recognize this and the current lies that are being spread about the death of Ambassador Stevens in Libya are an attempt at deceiving the American people that he has failed as a unifying factor in the Middle East, the opposite is true. The demonstrations, protests and riots are being generated by Islamic Extremists such as Muhammad al-Zawahiri and Hassan Nasrallah are using the video as an excuse to voice their hatred of all things American. In this case it is the constitutional right to free speech and freedom of expression. 

In an interview conducted by Leland Vittert of Fox News al-Zawahiri admitted that he has not seen the video but if the Egyptian people did see it then the protests would be much worse. 

al-Zawahiri: “I read about the movie. It’s merely the title. It’s refused by us. If the Egyptian people saw this movie, the protests would explode.”

Nasrallah:  "worst attack ever on Islam". "America must understand ... the US must understand that releasing the entire film will have dangerous, very dangerous, repercussions around the world," 

A Salafist Egyptian cleric, Ahmad Fouad Ashoush issued a fatwa against the cast and crew of the video "Innocence of Muslims". These fatwas are nothing more than an amusing empty threat by most Americans after all we are free to do what we want when we want. The video that is the catalyst for the hatred that so many Muslims have toward the United States is just incomprehensible to most Americans because we have seen it all on film, that includes movies like “The Last Temptation Of Christ”.

Ashoush: "I issue a fatwa and call on the Muslim youth in America and Europe to do this duty, which is to kill the director, the producer and the actors and everyone who helped and promoted the film," "Those bastards who did this film are belligerent disbelievers," "So, hurry, hurry, O Muslim youth in America and Europe, and teach those filthy lowly ones a lesson that all the monkeys and pigs in America and Europe will understand. May Allah guide you and grant you success."

So what is next, what will be the next spark that triggers the indignation of the Muslim world. Perhaps the violence and political unrest in countries like Iraq and Syria should be at the forefront of these clerics agendia. Perhaps the poverty and starvation in Egypt and Sudan should be the subject of their protests. Maybe a government confrontation about corruption and the theft of public money and resources by military and political leaders should be their focus. No that won't happen because they are in the business of hate and division. Fueling that hate by the use of an internet video keeps the Islamic extremists relevant and that is all they care about. American politicians are the same way. President Barack Obama thought that just by his mere presence and by speaking a few words he will save the world. The problem is his words are meaningless and his actions are detrimental, so he and his people must lie, accuse others, blame the previous administration and offer the excuse that it will take more time. Obama is just like Zawahiri, Ashoush and Nasrallah their all spreading manure just a different brand.

Ambassador Assassination.

The American Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens may have been assassinated by al-Qaeda as retribution for the killing of Osama Bin Leiden. Mr Stevens was described as a dedicated public servant and he did his job well. According to the State department, Mr Stevens “made regular and frequent trips to Benghazi to check on developments in the east.”  a routine that may have contributed to the attack on September 11th,2012. In a telephonic interview with Fox News the stepfather of Mr Stevens commented that Chris did his job fearlessly and thought that traveling throughout Libya was as safe as going from his home in East Bay Hills California  to Oakland. Mr Stevens according to his stepfather may have had a “false sense of security”, apparently he trusted the Libyan people. The Ambassador had good relations with the Gaddafi government as well as the revolting elements that overthrow Gaddafi and are now in political power.

The consulate in Benghazi has been described by the State Department as “an interim facility” that was  acquired before the revolution and the demise of the Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi. The complex  consists of a main building, several ancillary buildings, and an annex some distance from the main building. Because the facility was not built from the ground up and temporary, security upgrades had not been done. This is evident by the ease that the assaulting force gained access and the condition of the windows and doors shown in news video and photographs.

It has been reported that the assaulting force consisted of twenty men armed with automatic rifles and rocket propelled grenade launchers. They attacked in a complex and coordinated military fashion. This is evidence of a pre-planned operation and not a spontaneous uprising generated by an obscure internet video.

The timeline of the attack as detailed by a state department official.

"At about 4 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time yesterday, which was about 10 p.m. in Libya, the compound ... in Benghazi began taking fire from unidentified Libyan extremists. By about 4:15 p.m. attackers gained access to the compound and began firing into the main building, setting it on fire," she said, "and the Libyan guard force and mission security personnel responded."

At the time, three people were inside the building -- Ambassador Stevens, a regional security officer, and Smith -- and while trying to evacuate they became separated by heavy, dark smoke.

"The regional security officer made it outside and then he and other security personnel returned into the burning building in an attempt to rescue Chris and Sean," the official said.

They found Smith, who had died, and pulled him from the building. They were unable to locate Stevens before fire, smoke and small-arms fire drove them from the building, the official said.

"At about 4:45 p.m. Washington time, U.S. security personnel assigned to the mission annex tried to regain the main building but that group also took heavy fire and had to return to the mission annex," the official said.

"At about 5:20 p.m.," she added, "Libyan security personnel made another attempt and that time were able to regain and secure the main building."

The rest of the staff were evacuated to the nearby annex, which itself came under fire at around 6 p.m. Washington time and continued under fire for about two hours, she said.

{ The annex referred to hear is a villa about a mile away and inside the grounds of the city's equestrian club. This was to be their fall back point or safe house. The location was compromised and the firefight followed them.}

During that ongoing attack, the official said, two more U.S. personnel were killed and two more were wounded.
At about 8:30 p.m. Washington time, or 2 a.m. in Libya, Libyan security forces helped regain control of the situation, she said.

"At some point in all of this, and frankly we do not know when, we believe that Ambassador Stevens got out of the building and was taken to a hospital in Benghazi," she said, adding, "We do not have any information about his condition at that time. His body was later returned to U.S. personnel at the Benghazi airport."

In a press conferance by the Libyan ambassador to the United States Ali Suleiman Aujali commented that Mr Stevens was a close friend of his and that the two played tennis togather as well as visting each other's homes. 

"It is a sad day in my life. I knew Chris personally. He's my tennis partner. He comes to my house. We have breakfast together. I've known him for more than six years. He may be the first American diplomat to [have arrived] in Tripoli ... after the revolution. He's very welcomed by the people. He visited the Libyans. He [ate] with them. He [sat] with them," 

These statements by the stepfather of Mr Stevens, the State Department and Ambassador Aujali are  both telling and troubling.

• Stevens had a false sense of security
• Stevens trusted the Libyans
• Stevens had a relationship with both the Gaddafi regime and the revolutionary forces
• Stevens made regular and frequent trips to Benghazi
• The consulate complex was a temporary facility
• The safe house location was compromised

These bullet points amount to a total security breakdown in a country still in turmoil after a major civil war that was waged between fanatical Islamists and a blood thirsty dictatorship. Ambassador Stevens should have had a security detail with him at all times and he may have,  Travel only when necessary, refrain from personal interactions with the general public and have a full contingent of Marines guarding the Benghazi facility. The evidence in the statements by the State Department and others describe Ambassador Stevens as a soft target in a volatile country full of radical religious extremists. By the their own statements they implicate themselves and describe the US government as incompetent for the security of the diplomatic mission. 

Two of the four men that were killed during the 4 1/2 hour fire fight were ex Navy SEALs working as security contractors, one was trained as a sniper the other as a combat nurse and paramedic. These two individuals were extremely capable and died defending their country heroically but there comes a time in every firefight when ammo runs out and if it takes over four hours for reinforcements to come you're pretty much screwed. NBC news has reported that the two SEALs Tyrone S. Woods and Glen A. Doherty were providing security for Ambassador Stevens. 

Investigators have four individuals under arrest in Libya and they have announced the the group responsible for the attack is Ansar al Sharia (AAS). The name means "Supporters of Islamic law" U.S. officials describe the group as a subset of al Qaeda. Wanis el-Sharef, eastern Libya's deputy interior minister has volunteered more details on the attack some of which indicate serious security breaches. 

El-Sharef said the attack in Benghazi was timed to mark the 9/11 anniversary and that the terror group AAS recruited protesters to demonstrate outside of the consulate using the anti-Islam film “Innocence of Muslims” as their justification for the rioting. Using the crowd as cover for their action the AAS came over the walls and assaulted the compound. 

The following is el-Sharef’s account of the events that took place last Tuesday night as reported by the Associated Press, he also commented that “Infiltrators within the security forces may have tipped off militants to the safe house location.”  When reading this account keep in mind it is being reported by the AP and it is the opinion of a Libyan official.

The crowd built at the consulate - a one-story villa surrounded by a large garden in an upscale Benghazi neighborhood - in several stages, he said. First, a small group of gunmen arrived, then a crowd of civilians angry over the film. Later, heavily armed men with armored vehicles, some with rocket-propelled grenades, joined, swelling the numbers to more than 200.

The gunmen fired into the air outside the consulate. Libyan security guarding the site pulled out because they were too few. "We thought there was no way for the protesters to storm the compound, which had fortified walls," he said.

El-Sharef said Libyan security advised the Americans to evacuate at that point, but he says the advice was ignored. There was shooting in the air from inside the consulate compound, he said.

At this point, he said, the crowd stormed the compound. The consulate was looted and burned, while plainclothes security men were sent to evacuate the personnel.

Stevens, he said, is likely to have died of asphyxiation following a grenade explosion that started a fire, el-Sharef said. Ziad Abu Zeid, a Libyan doctor to whom Stevens' body was taken, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the 52-year-old Stevens died of asphyxiation.

U.S. officials have said attackers broke into the main consulate building at around 10:15 p.m. and set the compound on fire. Amid the evacuation, Stevens became separated from others, and staffers and security that tried to find him were forced to flee by flames, smoke and gunfire. After an hour, according to U.S. officials, U.S. and Libyan officials drove the attackers from the consulate.

The next attack came hours later. Around 30 American staffers along with Libyans had been evacuated to the safe house while a plane arrived from Tripoli with a joint U.S.-Libyan security group that was to fly them back to the capital, el-Sharef said.

El-Sharef said the original plan was for a separate Libyan security unit to escort the evacuees to the airport. Instead, the joint unit went from the airport to the safe house, possibly because they were under the impression they were dealing with a hostage situation, he said. The militant attack coincided with the joint team's arrival at the safe house, he said.

That the attackers knew the safe house's location suggests a "spy" inside the security forces tipped off the militants, he said.
One of five private security guards at the consulate said the surprise attack began around 9:30 p.m. when several grenades that were lobbed over the outer wall exploded in the compound and bullets rained down.

The guard was wounded in the left leg from shrapnel. He said he was lying on the ground, bleeding and in excruciating pain when a bearded gunman came down the wall and shot him twice in the right leg, screaming: "You infidel, you are defending infidels!"

"Later, someone asked me who I was. I said I was the gardener and then I passed out. I woke up in hospital," said the guard, who spoke to The Associated Press from his bed at a Benghazi hospital. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared reprisals and reprimands from his employers.

U.S. officials have not confirmed the account. They have spoken of an attack on the consulate's annex that killed two Americans, but said their report on the incident was still preliminary.

Questions that need to be answered.

1. Was Stevens under surveillance by the AAS, if so for how long?
2. Was Stevens assassinated to revenge the killing of Osama Bin Leiden?
3. Why was the consulate so understaffed with security?
4. Why did Libyan security abandon their post and not call for reinforcements?
5. Are the demonstrations in Benghazi and Cairo linked and is AAS the common denominator?
6. What is the Muslim Brotherhood’s role in the demonstrations?
7. Was their a  mole inside the embassy in Tripoli or Benghazi funneling information to the AAS?
8. Did any of the American private security officers travel with stevens?
9. Was Stevens still alive on the consulate grounds or when he was being transported to the doctor that pronounced him dead by asphyxiation?
10. Who found Stevens and how did he get him to the doctor?
11. Why was the physical security of the buildings not upgraded with security doors,gates  and windows prior to any US occupation?
12. Was there any indication that this attack was being planned?
13. What is the State Department’s SOP for 9/11, was their any chatter about an attack?
14. Who knew of the safe house and who compromised the safe house location?
15. Was Stevens singled out for assassination by the AAS if so was Ayman al-Zawahiri the one that gave that order.

ACT OF WAR, Over A Movie?

Movie trailer of "Innocence of Muslims"

The events in Cairo Egypt and Benghazi Libya are an act of war no matter what the excuse the extremists have or what President Obama says what this is, is WAR.

Libyan civilians help US ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, at the US consulate compound in Benghazi

9/12/12 Secretary of state Hillary Clinton said in a televised news conference "this is a senseless attack". Clinton also confirmed that four Americans have been killed at the embassy in Benghazi Libya. Wearing her emotions on her sleeve she confirmed that information specialist Sean Smith and ambassador Chris Stevens were murdered during the attack. The Secretary did not speculate but pontificated the words. "How could this happen in a city that we helped save from a tyrant".  Mrs Clinton continued her comments by saying that, "some Libyans helped fighting back the crowd of extremists and some were injured during the struggle." She also promised that their will be retaliation against those responsible for the murder of her friends.  She also went on to say that religion is no excuse for the taking a human lives during the small and savage assault on the American embassy.

The very young extremist that invaded the Egyptian embassy pass the flag to the crowd for desecration.

The problem hear is that the Obama White house has still not come to grips with the idea that we are at war with a religious ideology. These attacks in Cairo and Egypt underscore that fact. One of the English speaking extremists was demonstrating his ignorance in front of a news crew in Benghazi he was ranting about his irrational justification of the violence. Paraphrasing, he said that if Americans make fun of their profit then this is what they get. they get killed.

Frightened Egyptian security outside US embassy 

The crowds in Cairo shouted "Obama we are hear to sacrifice for Osama" as they rioted and climbed the walls of the embassy. They ripped down the stars and stripes and raised a flag that looks very similar to the al-Qaeda flag that reads "There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet" Was this really about the low budget movie "Innocence of Muslims" or was it more about the fact that it was the eleventh anniversary of the September 11th attacks on the American people.

Gunman in the embassy compound in Benghazi.

Make no mistake about it these fanatics attacked sovereign American territory, killed American people and destroyed American property. This is an act of war and needs to be treated as such. If in fact these attacks are a response to a movie on YouTube then why did it take so long for that response, the movie was dubbed into Arabic and shown on television in Egypt during July. So why now? These islamist extremists in the Middle East regardless of the country are mentally deficient and incapable of rational thought process. It is Obvious that one of their many terrorist Muslim clerics organised these strikes against America. Their is no coincidence that this happened on 9/11 and their is no coincidence that this happened in Egypt or Libya two countries that the Obama White House has been handing out financial support to and in the case of Libya weapons for them to realize their democratic objectives. This has come full circle now. should we be surprised when the zoo keeper opens the door to the cage and feeds the lion then the lion bits the hand that feeds him.

Embassy residence on fire

Rocket propelled grenades and machine gun fire riddled the embassy in Benghazi the buildings where ransacked and set on fire. Vehicles that embassy officials used were attacked and the staff was killed trying to escape the assault. The day after the attack the embassy compound is littered with burning debris and burnt vehicles. It is very possible that this is just the beginning of a wave of violence that will involve Americans overseas. The leaders of theses mentally deficient extremist have finally realized that the Obama Administration will not retaliate and they are willing to take full advantage of it.

Cars and buildings burning after RPG attack

The local governments in Libya as well as Egypt had full knowledge of the attacks and they did nothing to stop it or to alert the Americans. Security has been increased in Cairo but during the attacks Egyptian security was conspicuously absent. Security forces in Libya also laid back as the attacks went on in Benghazi it was not till the assault was winding down when they moved in, by then it was to late and fore people were murdered. Americans should not look for the instigators and trigger men of theses attacks to be brought to justice any time soon. The Obama administration is completely focused on their reelection campaign and the governments of the Muslim countries lack the enthusiastic for bringing anyone that they consider jihadists.

9/12/12 The news agency CNN is reporting that Mohamed al-Zawahiri the brother of Ayman al Zawahiri was one of the organizers in Cairo that plained the protest.

 "We called for the peaceful protest joined by different Islamic factions including the Islamicc Jihad (and the) Hazem Abu Ismael movement."
"We were surprised to see the big numbers show up, including the soccer Ultra fans," he said. "I just want to say, how would the Americans feel if films insulting leading Christian figures like the pope or historical figures like Abraham Lincoln were produced?"

Two days before on 9/10/12 in an exclusive report CNN interviewed MAZ  who had been locked up in a Egyptian prison for 14 years on charges of terrorism and being a conspirator in the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. The interviewer (Nic Robertson) described Zawahiri like this.

"He is like so many former prisoners I've met -- calm, collected, focused and utterly convinced by long held views examined, tested and re-forged in incarceration." 

" As the al Qaeda leader's brother, he says they are ideologically inseparable, and that if anyone can talk his brother out of violence it's him."

 Mr al-Zawahiri i would like to remind yo that the Pope of the Catholic Church is a pacifist and President Abram Lincoln freed the slaves. These are two thing that you obviously know nothing about. You belong back in solitary confinement along with your brother.

The U.S. point man on Iraq is AWOL

Looks like Joe Biden has not won President Troll's vote with his chick on dirty Joes lap , good thing he is an ordained minster.

Vice President Joe Biden was yucking it up last Sunday with a biker chick in a Ohio dinner wile back in Iraq coordinated bomb strikes killed 100 people and the Iraqi vice president was sentenced to death in a one day trial. Less than one year after American troops leave the country Iraq is once again a meat grinder. The attacks can be traced to al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI) and the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) these Sunni Muslim terror groups are willing to kill on the drop of a hat and in many cases it seams as though they are working in consort. Both AQI and ISI seam to have predetermined targets that have been assigned to individual bombers and shooters. A location may be chosen for political reasons an embassy for example or a site maybe chosen for body count like a shopping center. In the event a situation or event happens that AQI leadership dislikes then a target or a series of targets on their ready list is chosen and the attacks are carried out at a chosen time. This violence on Sunday was triggered by the Trial outcome of Iraq's vice president. VP Tareq al-Hashemi was tried in absentia and found guilty of terror charges. The one day trial was carried out by a panel of Shite judges that have loyalties to Prime Minister al-Maliki. 

Last Sunday was just an other example of sectarian violence that has become common place in Iraq. Or was it? The country of Iraq is being torn apart by it's own people the Kurds in their northern semi-autonomous state, the Sunni and Shia factions in the rest of the country are all feuding. The U.S. point man Vice President Biden was scheduled to go to Iraq by the White House last June. The trip was an attempt to smooth over any discontent within the Iraqi political machine but he was rebuffed by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki. Various reasons have been given why Biden was rejected but sources inside Iraq have come out and said that al-Maliki has had enough of the Obama Administration and they will do what they want, when they want. This is evident in the actions of both sides. 

The snubbing of Biden was not just another example of Obama's failed Foreign Policy but an international middle finger pocked in it's eye. President Obama said that the Iraqi power sharing agreement that “he” had renegotiated is a milestone. 

“This agreement marks another milestone in the history of modern Iraq. Once again, Iraqis are showing their determination to unify Iraq and build its future and that those impulses are far stronger than those who want Iraq to descend into sectarian war and terror.” 

President Obama really has no clue and theses statements made at the G20 in Seoul where meant to silence his detractors at home that have been critical of his administrations efforts on the international stage. Looking back at the check book diplomacy that Sectary of State Hillary Clinton has called “21st century statesmanship” one can deduce that it has not worked in Iraq, poring money into a failed state only accomplishes corruption and dependency. Today Iraq is a failed state with a dysfunctional government and a civil war followed by a coup is not out of the question. There is a bright spot in Iraq, it is home to the worlds third largest oil reserve and money is not the problem, the problem is simple, things like two hours of electricity a day, clean drinking water, affordable food and housing.

“The United States has worked closely with our Iraqi partners to promote a broad-based government -- one whose leaders share a commitment to serving all Iraqis as equal citizens. Now, Iraq's leaders must finish the job of forming their government so that they can meet the challenges that a diverse coalition will inevitably face. And going forward, we will support the Iraqi people as they strengthen their democracy, resolve political disputes, resettle those displaced by war, and build ties of commerce and cooperation with the United States, the region and the world.”

Regardless of what Obama and Biden do or say to or about the Iraqi government the current leadership in Baghdad will do exactly what they want, after all they have F.U. Oil money. Days after American troops drove across the the Iraqi border to Kuwait PM al-Maliki suspended the agreement that President Obama was promoting at the G20 and issued an arrest warrant for his Vice President, called for the ouster of one of the three deputy prime ministers and threatened the Kurds. Saleh al-Mutlak the deputy pm on al-Maliki's enemies list has denounced the current government from the start. Since the first week of assuming his position he has not accepted the way the parliament functions and has wanted to help the country create a more “workable” government. He has also described al-Maliki as a “dictator” and blaming him for the increasing marginalization of the Sunni based voting bloc known as Al Iraqiya. 

Aftermath of explosion outside of French consular building in Nassiriya

There is a huge opportunity in Iraq for engineering firms, architectural firms, oil companies, bulk shipping concerns and construction companies of all types. It will take a bit of time but dragging the country out of the nineteenth century and into the twenty first is something that the country needs. The Obama Administration cannot provide these perks no matter how hard they try because they are incapable of getting out of the way of private business at home or abroad. What the country of Iraq lacks is advise on financing, infrastructure development and city planning. Perhaps the government of Iraq should look to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait to see what their future could look like if they are able to leverage their oil profits properly. 

What is occurring in Iraq now is 90 degrees opposite of what President Obama was patting himself on the back for in Seoul during the 2010 G20 summit. If the events in Iraq are a measure of the Obama/Biden success abroad then he gets an “F” on that report card. During speeches at last weeks DNC Obama and his brown nosing surrogates degraded presidential candidate Mitt Romney for his lack of international diplomacy, but did not sight any of Obama's accomplishments. So far political pundits have refrained from calling out the White House on their international ineptness and Iraq is clearly Obama's Achilles heel. As for the point man well he will be getting lap dances and bar hopping throughout the mid west promoting the highlights of the Obama White House by reminding anyone he sees that “Osama Bin Leiden is dead and General Motors is alive.”

Syria: Russia Runs Out, Iran Rushes In

Port of Tartus

The Middle Eastern chess game continues and there are many players. Recent events have become more evident of a big picture event is about to happen. Russia pulls it's Mediterranean Navel contingent out of the port of Tartus. The Russians have spent years and millions of rubles modernizing and rehabilitating their Tartus port facility that was actuality mothballed after the fall of the Soviet Union. Just when Russia was about to finalize the ports five year renovation they pull out and announce that weapons and military support for Bashar al-Assad's military effort has been curtailed.

Quds Forces with very outdated German rifles 

Iran has recently confirmed that Quds forces have boots on the Syrian soil. This is something that Syrian opposition forces have known since hostilities broke out seventeen months ago. Most reports state that the Iranian commander of Iran’s elite Quds Force, Qassem Suleimani “slipped up” during an interview with Teheran’s ISNA news agency by stating that his forces are assisting the Syrian forces. It is hard to believe that a “disciplined” military commander would make a comment like that if it was not meant for public consumption. According to some reports the Quds Force will be setting up at least one military base near the capital Damascus that will house 15,000 elite soldiers, who operated in Iraq and other wars. The force will be reportedly in charge of training Hamas and Hezbollah operatives as well as Syrian forces to deal with opposition fighters that have been giving al-Assad a pain in his al-ass. Of course this base can be used as a staging point for a cross border attack and possibly the preparation for an assault on Israel. 

Israel has been preparing the civilian population of a nation wide missile attack. The construction of bomb shelters, the issuing of gas masks and the testing of a early warning system that sends text messages to cell phones in the event of a missile attack. The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) has fortified its border defenses along the northern frontier by the addition of mine fields, reinforcing fencing and adding additional razor wire. The IDF also has completed a Multi Sensory System (MSS) along the border with Lebanon. The system integrates electronic censors, cameras and radars in the most advanced combat intelligence gathering system known in the defense industry today. Clearly the Jewish state is anticipating a problem unfortunately this problem may be a multi-prong event coming from many directions.

Israeli border with new fencing 

The Egyptian Sinai Peninsula is becoming a larger problem for Israel. al-Qaida terror elements have killed sixteen border guards August 5. In response the defense minister and head of the armed forces, General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi launched a security force to root out the militants. During the operation the Egyptians captured 23 and killed 11 terrorists however the Egyptian security force consisted of troops in 11 Bradley armored personnel carriers and the Camp David Peace Accords prohibits the use of mechanized forces in the Sinai. Israels PM Netanyahu called Egyptian President Morsy to remind him of that fact and by September 29th the 11 Bradleys were loaded onto flatbed trucks on their way back to their base. Since President Hosni Mubarak was booted out of office the al-Qaida terrorists have been responsible for many infrastructure and border attacks. The current operation yielded many small arms, rockets, missiles and explosives.

Turkey has not escaped the terror threat either Kurdish militants have been crossing into Turkey from Iran and Syria for attacks on civilian and government targets. Known as the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) established itself in 1978 as a Marxist Communist group looking to found it's own state. They have carved out a portion of Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria claiming the territory to be their ancestral homeland. Currently the PKK have been on a mission to disrupt the Turks during the Syrian uprising. With funding and intelligence from Iran and Syria the PKK has launched large scale attacks within Turkey. Sunday 9/2/12 about 20 PKK terrorists attacked a Turkish security complex at Beytussebap 40 kilometers from the Iraqi border Government forces lost 9 solders in the skirmish and all 20 of the PKK attackers were killed. Last month 10 people including civilians were killed in a car bomb attack blamed on the separatist Kurds in the southeastern city of Gaziantep which caused national outrage. The Turkish government had launched a large-scale military offensive against the PKK on July 23 that it said early last month had killed a total of 115 PKK militants. In one of the deadliest recent single incidents, fighting in June between Turkish soldiers and Kurdish rebels killed 28 people after an attack by PKK members on an army post near the Iraqi border.

Damage after the bombing in Al-Bab

The actions and rhetoric have ramped up to the point of out and out threats. Special fortified hospital facilities have been dusted off in Israel. The Americans have deployed medical facilities to Jordan, Turkey and Israel that specialize in Bio/Chemical warfare injuries. Syrian air force jets and helicopters strike indiscriminately in populated arias as the the ratio of dead noncombatants to opposition solders bear this out. 9/3/12 a building was bombed in Al-Bab not far from the Turkish border killing 18 noncombatants. The day before Syrian warplanes bombed towns in various locations killing a total of 132 people 96 noncombatants, 9 opposition fighters and 27 Syrian regular army soldiers. For the first time the strategy of carpet bombing has been employed in the Syrian town of Azaz, more than 80 noncombatants were killed and 150 wounded. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claim that 5,000 people have been killed across Syria in August and at least 26,283 people have been killed in Syria since the revolt began in March last year. The numbers reflect the the governments rules of engagement, that is to kill with out discrimination, The Observatories breakdown of the dead is “18,695 civilians, 1,079 defectors and 6,509 troops.” President al-Assad also warned his counterparts in Ankara through back channels that if any more Turkish FIM-92 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles were supplied to the oposition forces, he would arm 2,500 PKK Kurdish terrorist fighters with Russian SA-8 anti-air missiles and let them loose along the Syrian-Turkish border for use against Turkey.

So the Russians got out wile the getting was good and the Iranians got in to form a suicide pact with the al-Assad government. If in fact Syria is invaded Iran will attack Israel and if Iran's nuclear facilities are attacked Syria will attack Israel. It seams as though the suspected attacking forces are willing to wait out the Syrian situation. With proxy forces fighting the Sunni-Shite ideological battle and the opposition forces infiltrating the government forces supported by American intelligence sources Iran will find themselves standing alone and al-Assad dead. The wild card is of course is the WMD stock piles.

In the event that al-Assad does meet his 72 virgins the country will completely fall under the control of Iran leaving Hamas and Hezbollah with a free hand to operate within Lebanon and Syria. At that point all bets are off and coalition forces that are staged in the surrounding countries will deploy their fast attack special forces to secure and eventually destroy the WMD stock piles. However cleaning up the Islamic extremists that have come for their pound of flesh will complicate an already complicated situation.

Syria: Total Destruction Imminent.

The situation in Syria is no longer an Issue between Bashar al Assad and the people of Syria but A Sunni-Shiite gang fight with regional implications. This fight in Syria has taken a new turn. The Syrian civil uprisings that ballooned into government protests has escalated into a civil war and will not be like the Crips and the Bloods trading bullets in Compton but a battle of religious zealots bent on total cleansing of the opposition. No cops or restrictions to hinder the carnage and no UN peace keepers to document atrocities, the only government intervention will be that of Iran and Syria backing the Shiite side and the US, UK and the Saudis backing the Sunnis via proxy.

The Americans have been supplying weapons through the countries of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the Iranians have been supplying light and heavy weapons purchased from Russia to the al-Assad government since the conflict started. Iran just this week (8/28/12) admitted publicly that fighters have been dispatched to Syria to fight on behalf of Bashar al-Assad's forces. Gen. Salar Abnoush, commander of the IRGC’s Saheb al-Amr unit, spoke to a group of army volunteers that Iran is currently sending commanders and foot soldiers from its elite corps to fight in “every aspect of the war in Syria, military and cultural.” This was the first time that a Iranian government official admitted to Iran’s military involvement in the Syrian conflict, all claims of Iran's intervention have been denied up until this point.

US Sectary of State Hillary Clinton repeatedly denies supplying weapons to the anti-government fighters, however she will admit to “humanitarian assistance”. The assistance is now widely known to be state of the art communications equipment, night vision equipment and clandestine surveillance through drown and satellite intelligence. There is no reason NOT to believe that special forces or spies??? from many countries are sprinkled throughout the region. Countries with any interest in the MANA region will include the US, UK, Israel, France, Jordan, Turkey, Russia, China, Venezuela, Iran and the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council. All these countries have a financial and strategic interest in the aria weather it is oil and gas, domestic security or the suppression of terror franchises like Hamas, Hezbollah or al-Qaida. Clinton is pushing for direct military intervention. First she is advocating a no-fly zone in the north bordering Turkey. Second is boots on the ground to secure the bio/chem weapons. In the event that al Assad's WMDs are employed by government forces, in danger of being compromised by an outside force like al-Qaida or the stockpiles moved for any reason all security council members agree that intervention is necessary. Right now with the Russians having a force in place it would seam that they would be the most likely force to take control of the weapons.

As far as the no-fly zone strategy Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said that while such a step is under study, it is “not on the front burner.” Well Mr Panetta needs to have a conversation with his french counterpart Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian as he seams to be real keen on the idea. The problem with restricting Syria's airspace is that several steps will have to come into play. First a strike on the air defenses will be necessary, second a strike on the Syrian airfields crippling the air force's capability to put planes in the air. Third, one and two are acts of war and the president will need congressional approval for a operation that invades a countries sovereign territory. If the congress gives consent then it is a 100% certainty that Iran will retaliate against any American assets in the region as well as Israel. The Russians don't think it is a real swift idea either. Sergei Lavrov the Russian Foreign Minister stated that any action like a no-fly zone in Syria is unacceptable to his country "This will be a violation of sovereignty if it included Syrian territory," Lavrov implying that the implementation of such a unilateral action would violate international law. As far as the bio/chem weapons are concerned the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said that his government was working closely with Damascus to ensure that its WMD's remains under firm control. Gatilov reports that he has received guarantees that the stockpiles will not be used or relocated.

Since the Russians and Chinese refuse to cast a vote in favor of any military intervention in Syria the UN security council has their hands tied. Since any UN sanctioned military force is not possible due to the two decenters, than why not a proxy war? Seams like a good idea, right! Islamic extremists from all over the expansive AFPAC/MENA aria are flocking to Syria to take up arms against their reviled Muslim rivals. The hatred between the Sunnis and Shiites gos back to 680 A.D. When Hussein (a Shiite), found himself surrounded by a larger Ummayad force (Sunnis) at Karbala, in present day Iraq. With only a handful of supporters to defend him, Hussein and 72 of his men were captured and beheaded, and their women taken captive. The battle was the defining moment in the split between Sunnis and Shiites. These folks really know how to hold a grudge! Iran is 90% Shia and has 15 thousand troops on root to the fight, the Syrian leadership is predominately Alawite a Shia offshoot and the Syrian Sunni solders are still going AWOL. The unified countries of the security council decided to exploit the rift between the two sides and give them the opportunity and the guns to wipe each other out on the Syrian field of battle.

This strategy has been done before, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979 with the aim to reinforce the communist government structure that had been set up by an Afghan general who was killed in a coup the previous year. Radical Islamic fighters struck out against the invading Soviets and bogged down the red army for years. The CIA looking to take advantage of the situation started to funnel money and weapons into the hands of the Afghan resistance fighters known as the Mujaheddin. The CIA working through the Pakistani government supplied modern weapons like American Stinger missiles, Chines AK-47 rifles, grenade launchers and anti-tank weapons. The Mujaheddin morphed into the Taliban and Osama Bin Leiden’s al-Qaida. The CIA achieved their goal of forcing the soviet Union into a financially week position through the war. The Soviet/Afghan war was a leading contributor to the fall of the Soviet Union. How ever indirectly the CIA also contributed to the growth and propagation of modern terrorism and the ascension of Osama Bin Leiden as it's titular commander.

The proxy war effort that is being organized in Syria is a very dangerous situation. At some point their must be an intervention by a nation state that is capable of disposing of the WMD hazard that was created by the Syrian government. If at any point these weapons become accessible to the radical Islamic extremists it is anybody’s guess where they will end up being used, and they will be used.

With Iran increasing their military presents in Syria things will escalate and the death toll will rise sharply. Even though 200 thousand Syrians have fled the country millions remain and the radical zealots mixing among the population will directly and indirectly involve the average citizen in this gang fight creating a massive amount of collateral death and destruction. 

When Afghans Attack

U.S. Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, right, and U.S. Army Lt. Gen. James L. Terry, commander of the International Security Assistance Force Joint Command, talk in Kabul, Afghanistan, Aug. 20, 2012.

Back in the good-ol' cold war days the U.S. military and clandestine services were focused on eradicating the red threat. Analysts studied the moves and motives of communist leaders to better understand and predict their actions in given situations. The military conducted war games designed to provoke Communist leaders, to test their warning systems and military reactions. CIA spooks would plant disinformation through legitimate journalistic outlets and gather human intelligence by infiltration of the targeted governments. U.S. presidents like Kennedy and Reagan would talk trash about their Communist counterparts and take a stand against the expansion of the red threat into the western way of life. 

Yes those were the good-ol' days when their was a clear cut enemy and both sides had well defined agendas and philosophies that directly opposed each other. Is that still the case today? Well some say no! Many say that geopolitics has become far to complicated to whittle it down to a “us vs them strategy”, not so fast Buck-O; it is---that simple. There is a clear cut, well defined and well organized enemy that threatens western society and global security. This enemy is far more despicable than the Nazis, infinitely more expansionist than the Roman empire and exponentially more blood thirsty than the Mongols, They are the radical Muslims and Islamist extremists. What makes this adversary so dangerous is that they have infiltrated every country and are currently in the process of undermining western governments and societies. They do this through deception and taking advantage of a free society that upholds the right to practice religion freely and openly.

Combating this foe on a global scale has proven to be extremely difficult because no country other than Israel is willing to take a stand against the islamicidal cult of depravity. The U.S. and other nonsectarian nations of the world must first recognize that the enemy exists and then recognize it for what it is, evil, just that simple. The current path of thinking is that not all Muslims are terrorists and that Islam is a peaceful religion, their just happens to be a few bad apples in the barrel. What has proven to be true is that one bad apple does in fact spoil the bunch, we are witnessing that every day in the AFPAC and MENA theaters of operation. Bloodthirsty Islamic barbarians kill, torture and maim on a daily basis to justify their existence in the eyes of Allah. 

U.S. Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, travels aboard a CH-47 helicopter from Bagram to Kabul, Afghanistan, Aug. 20, 2012, to meet with leaders from the Internation Security Assistance Force, U.S. Central Command, U.S. State Department and the Afghan military.

The Arab Spring did bring about hope and change for the people in the MENA region but the hopeful was the Islamist barbarians that seek sectarian cleansing through jihad. The change came in the form of overthrowing the national leadership of many countries and facilitating the takeover by Muslim extremists (Muslim Brotherhood). These countries will soon be state sponsors of terror, some new like Egypt, some old, like Libya and the Islamicide will continue and will flourish. 

The U.S. and Western allies spent the last 10+ years fighting the war on terror and have not come to grips with the fact that the Taliban, al-Qaida and their Islamic off-shoots are not politically motivated like the Communists of the past but are ideologically driven by a twisted religious zealotry. When the U.S. invaded Iraq Saddam Hussein was identified as evil personified, and he was, however what the West did not identify was the evil that Saddam had stifled at  gunpoint. It was said that once the Iraqi people were rid of Saddam the people of Iraq will rejoice in their new found freedom and embrace Jeffersonian Democracy. Well fast forward to 2012 Iraq is under control of Iraqi leadership and corruption has swept through the country like a plague. The security forces are in shambles and al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI) is carrying out bombings at will with no remorse. In letters captured from Osama Bin Laiden, OBL describes AQI as despicable and with out regard for the lives of their Muslim brothers and sisters. In short Iraq is a mess and the current Shia government is flirting with Iran's Mullahs.

U.S. Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, U.S. Marine Corps Gen. James N. Mattis, commander of U.S. Central Command, and U.S. Marine Corps Gen. John R. Allen, commander of U.S. and international forces in Afghanistan, talk in Kabul, Afghanistan, Aug. 20, 2012.

A similar situation is happening in Afghanistan but it is far worse. Corruption and cronyism is a way of life as in any Muslim community and a country based on the Islamic religion government corruption is a way of life. Afghanistan is no exception to that rule. Unfortunately the source of this corrupt money pit is the American government, a good example of this is the Dawood national military hospital in Kabul Afghanistan. Whistle-blowers testifying in front of congress stated that doctors and nurses routinely withhold food, medicine and medical care from patients that do not pay up. It was also reported that despite millions of dollars allocated for building maintenance and modernization the hospital is in deplorable condition as they put it "Auschwitz-like". Blood, fices and urine cover the floors, patients die from infections and malnutrition, family members are forced to take care of their wounded kin folk because they can not afford to bribe the doctors and nurses for treatment. The Afghan Surgeon General, Gen. Yaftali and the MoD’s Director of Finance, Major General Amiri, embezzled $20 million from the MoD and pilfered $153 million worth of medical supplies intended for patients at the hospital and  Afghan National Army (ANA) troops in the field. Both Yaftali and Amiri are directly connected to Afghan President Hamid Karzai. 

They are not leaders in the sense that we think of officers. They steal their soldiers’ pay, medicine, food, fuel, bullets and blankets and sell them on the black market. The Taliban and al-Qaida turn around and buy these supplies with the proceeds from opium and heroine. The Officers use U.S. taxpayer supplied vehicles and aircraft to further their own business interests over the well being of their armed forces or nation. The ANA soldiers in turn go AWOL at official rates close to 30%, in actuality the figure is closer to 40% in early 2011. Out of the ANA troops that remain in the service 70 to 80 percent are stoned on hash regardless of their duty status.

The Afghan people are bitter because they think the American system has failed them, the truth is it is the corruption of the Afghan government, President Karzai has failed them. The “green on blue” attacks that have been carried out by previously vetted Afghan personnel are retribution for the injustice that these people are living through every day and will be experiencing well after the Americans are gone. Public statements by The chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Martin Dempsey are week and full of hollow reassurance. The general arrived at Bagram Airbase on August 19th he advised reporters that traveled with him aboard his C-17 aircraft that he was their for meetings with coalition and Afghan leaders. One of the topics the general will discuss is the recent green on blue attacks that were carried out by Afghan security forces and have killed 10 international troops, mostly Americans, in the past two weeks. In the latest incident Sunday, a person wearing an Afghan police uniform shot and killed a coalition service member. At least 39 international coalition members have been killed in such attacks this year.

During the visit, Dempsey held meetings at the highest coalition levels – Marine Corps Gen. John Allen, commander of NATO forces in the AFPAC theater, and Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis, commander of U.S. Central Command. The chairman also met with Army Lt. Gen. James Terry, the commander of the corps command. General Dempsey also held meetings with his counterpart, Afghan Army Gen. Sher Mohammad Karimi.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai, left, greets Afghan National Army soldiers during a shura, or meeting, at the provincial district governor's compound in Sharana, Paktika province, Afghanistan, Nov. 2, 2010. Provincial leaders, elders and representatives from nearby Forward Operating Base Rushmore attended the shura.

Dempsey said he was pleased that Afghan President Hamid Karzai strongly spoke out against these attacks. “The president speaking on it was tremendously important, and I hope it permeates to the lowest levels of the Afghan government and military,” he said. “We speak out about it, and we take measures to mitigate the risk.”But the more Afghan leaders speak out about this, “the better off we will be,” Dempsey said. Coalition and Afghan leaders are looking at the vetting process for Afghan soldiers and police. “We’ve had an eight-step vetting process in place in earnest for about a year, but we haven’t turned the corner on it,” he said.

This is wonderful but the root cause of the problem is that the ANA rank and file is extremely low paid, under equipped, poorly fed and inadequately housed. The Afghan forces have been throne under the tank by their own leadership. These guys come from small villages and hamlets and have been promised a better life by enlisting into service for their country. At the time of their enlistment they probably had a vision of being part of something important and a way out of the subsistence life that their family has been scratching out for generations.  

The broken system that is in place in Afghanistan is one of the reasons for these attacks. The disadvantaged Afghan grunts are poorly educated Muslims (only 14% can read and write) and are easy manipulated. They were convinced that their participation in the security forces would be beneficial for them and their families, it has proven not to be the case in their eyes. After their enlistment the grunts become a target for the Taliban. The Taliban turns the solder against his command structure with the food and supplies that the solder was to get but was pilfered and sold on the black market by the ANA elite. The Americans have invited these lightly vetted persons into their base for training and giving them access to weapons and information. The very thing that the Taliban is in need of.

The plane that General Dempsey arrived in on the 19th was hit by rocket fire wile parked at Bagram airbase on the 21st. Wile their was no one on board the C-17 it took information from an insider to hit the symbolic target. The Taliban has infiltrated Bagram and other bases with operatives and they report to the Taliban on village raids, troop movements, and supply distribution points. The green on blue insider attacks are not limited to a single solder taking aim at his American trainer but clandestine activities that culminate in downed helicopters and patrol ambushes. What it comes down to is trust, the Muslim can not be trusted. Islam teaches that anything you do to further the Islamic world caliphate is acceptable. To further exacerbate the problem of insurgent infiltration is that the less a person has the easier it is to corrupt them and these people have nothing. To make matters even worse is that the ANA solder sees his wounded compatriots mistreated and uncared for. Ultimately they see themselves as expendable cannon fatter on the wrong side of their Islamic culture. The Taliban sees these foot solders as low hanging fruit ripe for the picking, they are easily turned and radicalized for the price of a few bags of rice and a chicken.
