Syrian Conflict: The Price of Defying the West

Haaretz piece reveals Syrian conflict is direct punitive result of Assad defying West, obstructing US-Israeli attack on Iran.

March 28, 2013 (LD) - Haaretz has recently published an exceptionally revealing article, confirming that the Brooking Institution's "Which Path to Persia?" report - a plan for the undermining and destruction of Iran - had indeed been set in motion, and that the current Syrian conflict is a direct result of Syria and Iran defying the West and disrupting what was to be a coup de grâce delivered to Tehran.

The article is titled, "Assad’s Israeli friend," appears at first to be a ham-handed attempt to portray Syrian President Bashar Al Assad as somehow allied with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Instead, it actually reveals that Israel had attempted to execute verbatim, the strategies prescribed in the Brookings Institution's "Which Path to Persia?" report, where Israel was to lure Syria away from Iran ahead of a US-Israeli strike and subsequent war with Tehran.

Syria obviously did not fall into the trap, and as a result, has been plunged into a destructive, spiteful war of proxy aggression by the US, Israel, Saudi Arabia and their regional allies.

The Haaretz piece states specifically:

In moving closer to Assad, Netanyahu had a number of motives. First, he wanted to put some space between Syria and Iran, in the hope that Damascus would stand aside in the event of an Israeli strike against Iranian nuclear facilities in Natanz and Fordow.

Second, Israel’s loss of its alliances with Turkey and later with Egypt, compounded by apprehension about a deteriorating security situation in the south, pushed Jerusalem into buying quiet on its northern borders.

The third motive was to weaken Hezbollah, while the fourth was to address concerns that the Syrian rebels were in fact Al-Qaida operatives and that the fall of Assad’s regime would turn Syria into a hostile Islamic state.

Of course, while Haaretz admits that the so-called "Syrian rebels" are in fact vicious Al Qaeda terrorists with no intention of instituting anything resembling "freedom" or "democracy" in Syria, contrary to the West's own long-peddled narrative, Israel is in fact one of three primary co-conspirators in raising the terrorist army in the first place.

"...the Israelis may want to hold off [on striking Iran] until they have a peace deal with Syria in hand (assuming that Jerusalem believes that one is within reach), which would help them mitigate blowback from Hizballah and potentially Hamas. Consequently, they might want Washington to push hard in mediating between Jerusalem and Damascus." -page 109 (.pdf)

Clearly Syria refused the disingenuous "peace deal" with Israel, unlike its regional neighbors Turkey, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar who are now all working in lock step with US-Israeli interests. While these neighbors were spared the sedition and carnage visited upon other Arab nations during the US State Department orchestrated "Arab Spring," Syria has been hit hardest and longest. The resilience of Syria may have delayed or even shelved Western designs aimed at reasserting hegemony across the Middle East, including delaying indefinitely war with Iran.

Israel's disingenuous attempts to reproach Syria are only one of several prescribed strategies Brookings called for in their 2009 report that have already come to pass. Another was Brookings' suggestion to deslist and arm the bizarre terrorist cult, Mujahedeen e-Khalq (MEK). MEK had been listed as a foreign terrorist organization by the US State Department for decades, yet it was still heavily armed, funded, and its operatives even trained on US soil - this despite the group being listed for kidnapping and slaughtering US officers and civilian contractors.




more on all this later.

has anyone actually woken up to what is happening?

PLEASE POST HERE IF YOU HAVE.

Which Path to Persia?: Options for a New American Strategy toward Iran

What do we do about Iran? The Islamic Republic presents a confounding series of challenges for the Obama administration. Over the past thirty years, Washington has produced an unimpressive track record of policies -- ranging from undeclared warfare to unilateral concessions -- that have limited some Iranian mischief-making but have largely failed to convince Tehran to drop its support for terrorist groups, its pursuit of a nuclear weapons capability, or its wider efforts to overturn the regional status quo.

Which Path to Persia? objectively presents the most important policy options available to the United States in crafting a new strategy toward Iran. It considers four different types of solutions: diplomacy, military, regime change, and containment. Among the diplomatic options are one approach that would employ "bigger carrots and bigger sticks" and a strategy of pure engagement that would abandon sanctions and focus on changing Iran's strategic perceptions. The various military options include a full-scale invasion, an air campaign to destroy Iran's nuclear program, and allowing an Israeli air strike against the same. Regime change could take the form of triggering a popular revolution, supporting an insurgency, or aiding a military coup. Last, containment would involve deterring Iran from trying to wield a future nuclear arsenal while hindering its ability to cause trouble in the region.

As Iran moves forward with its nuclear program, the urgency increases for the United States to implement a new policy. This distinguished group of authors, all senior fellows with the Saban Center at Brookings, points out that no one strategy is ideal and that all involve heavy costs, significant risks, and potentially painful trade-offs. With an eye to these perils, they address how the different options could be combined to produce an integrated strategy that makes the best choice from a bad lot.

Brookings's Reputation

Brookings is proud that many consider us to be the most influential, most quoted and most trusted think tank in the world. Our high-quality research, our independence and our convening power help generate innovative, practical solutions to today's challenges.

A sample of what others are saying about Brookings:

Quality and Influence

#1 think tank in the world
#1 think tank in the United States
#1 outstanding policy-oriented public policy research program
#1 in international development
#1 for domestic economic policy
#1 for social policy
—The Global "Go-To Think Tanks", James G. McGann, Ph.D., January 2012

"When important debates occur in Washington—whether over Middle East peace, global finance, or urban strategy—it's a fair bet that Brookings is driving the conversation. ... From health care reform to recommendations on closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Brookings has a breadth of experience that allows it to offer innovative fixes for nearly every critical issue facing the United States today."
—Foreign Policy magazine's Think Tank Index, January 2009


Trust and Impact

"We need the intellectual heft of Brookings to solve our tough economic problems. We need your fresh ideas and new thinking."
— Senator Mark Warner, March 8 2013, Capitol Visitors Center, Brookings Board Meeting

"Brookings has achieved a special measure of respect in Washington because it has risen above partisanship, and that is not an easy thing to do in this town which is sort of built on partisanship."
—Hon. Michael Bloomberg, Mayor, City of New York, August 28, 2007

Among 16 organizations with high impact on public policy, a Harris Poll found Brookings is:

among the five most powerful
among the ten most trusted
equally trusted by Democrats, Republicans and Independents.
—The Harris Poll's nationwide survey on inside-the-beltway groups, December 2007 (pdf)

"Brookings has been at the center of every important policy debate in this country for 90 years."
—Sen. Chuck Hagel, July 28, 2006

Beginning of video. Just after a high level meeting early in the Afghanistan war.

General : We made the decision to go to war with Iraq

Why ?

General : I don't know.

Did they find anything to link them to Al Qaeda

General : No, they just decided to go to war with Iraq. We don't know what to do about terrorist but we have a good military and we can take down governments.

Some weeks past.

Are we still going to war with Iraq

General : It is worse than that. Here is a memo where we are going to take out 7 countries in 5 years. Starting with Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan finishing off with Iran.

So what are the steps;

Make the leader a bogey man.

Example
Obama : Gaddafi is using his airforce to strike civilains
Reality : Russian Military did not record any air strike on Libyan civilians that the US stated was in progress.

So what were some of his achievements

1.There was no electricity bill in Libya; electricity was free for all its citizens
2. There was no interest on loans, banks in Libya are stateowned and loans given to all its citizens at 0 interest by law


3. Home considered a human right in Libya Gaddafi vowed that his parents would not get a house until everyone in Libya had a home. Gaddafis father has died while him, his wife and his mother are still living in a tent.


4. All newly weds in Libya receive $60,000 Dinar (US$50,000) by the government to buy their first apartment so to help start up the family.


5. Education and medical treatments are free in Libya. Before Gaddafi only 25 of Libyans are literate. Today the figure is 83.


6. Should Libyans want to take up farming career, they would receive farming land, a farming house, equipments, seeds and livestock to kickstart their farms all for free.


7. If Libyans cannot find the education or medical facilities they need in Libya, the government funds them to go abroad for it not only free but they get US$2,300/mth accommodation and car allowance.


8. In Libyan, if a Libyan buys a car, the government subsidized 50 of the price.


9. The price of petrol in Libya is $0.14 (N22) per litre 10. Libya has no external debt and its reserves amount to $150 billion now frozen globally.


11. If a Libyan is unable to get employment after graduation the state would pay the average salary of the profession as if he or she is employed until employment is found.


12. A portion of Libyan oil sale is, credited directly to the bank accounts of all Libyan citizens.


13. A mother who gave birth to a child receive US$5,000.


14. Gaddafi carried out the worlds largest irrigation project, known as the Great ManMade River project, to make water readily available throughout the desert country.

A person who lived in a tent until all his people had a home would commit human rights violations on his people ?

Western Media blacked out millions of Libyans marching everyday demanding the rebels stop bombing them.

Media is leading people by the nose.
