US To Begin Invasion of Syria
Activist Post ^ | 6/26/2015 | Tony Catalucci

Posted on 06/27/2015 7:58:51 AM PDT by HomerBohn

Unbeknownst to the general public, their elected politicians do not create the policy that binds their national destiny domestically or within the arena of geopolitics. Instead, corporate-financier funded think tanks do – teams of unelected policymakers which transcend elections, and which produce papers that then become the foundation of legislation rubber stamped by “legislators,” as well as the enumerated talking points repeated ad naseum by the corporate-media.

Such a policy paper has been recently written by the notorious US policy think-tank, the Brookings Institution, titled, “Deconstructing Syria: Towards a regionalized strategy for a confederal country.” The signed and dated open-conspiracy to divide, destroy, then incrementally occupy a sovereign nation thousands of miles from America’s shores serves as a sobering example of how dangerous and enduring modern imperialism is, even in the 21st century.

Pretext ISIS: US Poured Billions Into “Moderates” Who Don’t Exist

The document openly admits that the US has provided billions in arming and training militants fed into the devastating and increasingly regional conflict. It admits that the US maintains – and should expand – operations in Jordan and NATO-member Turkey to provide even more weapons, cash, and fighters to the already catastrophic conflict.

It then recounts the rise of the so-called “Islamic State” (ISIS), but fails to account from where its money, cash, and weapons came. It should be obvious to readers that if the United States has committed billions in cash, weapons, and training on multiple fronts to alleged “moderates” who for all intents and purposes do not exist on the battlefield, a state-sponsor of greater magnitude would be required to create and sustain ISIS and Al Qaeda’s Al Nusra Front who Brookings admits dominates the “opposition” uncontested.

In reality, ISIS’ supply lines lead right into US operational zones in Turkey and Jordan, because it was ISIS and Al Qaeda all along that the West planned to use before the 2011 conflict began, and has based its strategy on ever since – including this most recent leg of the campaign.

The US Invasion of Syria

After arming and funding a literal region-wide army of Al Qaeda terrorists, the United States now plans to use the resulting chaos to justify what it has sought since the beginning of the conflict when it became clear the Syrian government was not to capitulate or collapse – the establishment of buffer zones now called “safe zones” by Brookings.

These zones once created, will include US armed forces on the ground, literally occupying seized Syrian territory cleared by proxies including Kurdish groups and bands of Al Qaeda fighters in the north, and foreign terrorist militias operating along the Jordanian-Syrian border in the south. Brookings even admits that many of these zones would be created by extremists, but that “ideological purity” wound “no longer be quite as high of a bar.

The US assumes that once this territory is seized and US troops stationed there, the Syrian Arab Army will not dare attack in fear of provoking a direct US military response against Damascus. The Brookings paper states (emphasis added):

The idea would be to help moderate elements establish reliable safe zones within Syria once they were able. American, as well as Saudi and Turkish and British and Jordanian and other Arab forces would actin support, not only from the air but eventually on the ground via the presence of special forces as well. The approach would benefit from Syria’s open desert terrain which could allow creation of buffer zones that could be monitored for possible signs of enemy attack through a combination of technologies, patrols, and other methods that outside special forces could help Syrian local fighters set up.

Were Assad foolish enough to challenge these zones, even if he somehow forced the withdrawal of the outside special forces, he would be likely to lose his air power in ensuing retaliatory strikes by outside forces, depriving his military of one of its few advantages over ISIL.Thus, he would be unlikely to do this. In a single statement, Brookings admits that the government of Syria is not engaged in a war against its own people, but against “ISIL” (ISIS). It is clear that Brookings, politicians, and other strategists across the West are using the threat of ISIS in combination with the threat of direct military intervention as a means of leverage for finally overrunning and seizing Syria entirely.

The Invasion Could Succeed, But Not for US Proxies

The entire plan is predicated on America’s ability to first take and hold these “zones” and subsequently mesh them into functioning autonomous regions. Similar attempts at US “nation building” are currently on display in the ravaged failed state that used to be North Africa’s nation of Libya, Syria’s neighbor to the southeast, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, and the list goes on extensively.

The folly of this plan both in attempts to use non-existent credibility and military will to actually implement it, as well as in terms of those foolish enough to place their trust in a nation that has left a swath of global destruction and failed states in its wake stretching from South Vietnam to Libya and back again, can be described only as monumental.

This strategy can almost certainly be used to finally destroy Syria. It cannot however, be used to do any of the things the US will promise in order to get the various players necessary for it to succeed, to cooperate.

Almost certainly there are measures Syria, its allies Iran and Hezbollah, as well as Russia, China, and all other nations facing the threats of Western hegemony can take to ensure that US forces will not be able to take and hold Syrian territory or ultimately succeed in what is essentially an invasion in slow motion. Already the US has used their own ISIS hordes as a pretext to operate militarily within Syrian territory, which as predicted, has led to this next stage in incremental invasion.

An increase in non-NATO peacekeeping forces in Syria could ultimately unhinge Western plans altogether. The presence of Iranian, Lebanese, Yemeni, Afghan, and other forces across Syria, particularly bordering “zone” the US attempts to create, may offer the US the prospect of a multinational confrontation it has neither the political will, nor the resources to undertake.

The ability of Syria and its allies to create a sufficient deterrence against US aggression in Syria, while cutting off the logistical lines the US is using to supply ISIS and other terrorist groups operating in Syria and Iraq will ultimately determine Syria’s survival.

Wise move, Bowels!

Field Marshal Barack Barry Soetoro Obama should lead the attack. Scranton Joe can man the command post from the White Hut.

WWIII is coming in order to fulfill The Book of Revelations prophesy. Syria, like all the others, especially Lybia, will be a disaster. Our phony leaders, following Satan's dictates don't give a damn.

When Damascus falls, the world as we know it will no longer exist. Russia, China, N. Korea and others will NOT stand by like good little robots. They will fight back with every ounce of energy they can muster.

This sideshow will be even bigger than the bankrupted Soopreme Kort decision.

Our soldiers should come home.

The Covert Origins of ISIS (aka Al Qaeda in Iraq).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMjXbuj7BPI

And who created Al Qaeda? The CIA as a response to the Soviets invading Afghanistan in 1979.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qaeda
The origins of al-Qaeda as a network inspiring terrorism around the world and training operatives can be traced to the Soviet War in Afghanistan (December 1979 – February 1989).[49] The US viewed the conflict in Afghanistan, with the Afghan Marxists and allied Soviet troops on one side and the native Afghan mujahideen, some of whom were radical Islamic militants, on the other, as a blatant case of Soviet expansionism and aggression. A CIA program called Operation Cyclone channeled funds through Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency to the Afghan Mujahideen who were fighting the Soviet occupation.[110]

If US military is to be used, I suggest that the 1st Faggot Division be the spearhead.

The word is out already...

“Turkey will ‘never allow’ Kurdish state in Syria warns Erdogan”

“Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Turkey will never allow the establishment of a Kurdish state in Syria after major gains by Kurdish fighters.

In a strong-worded warning late on Friday, Erdogan accused the Kurds of ethnically cleaning other communities from land they have taken after pushing back Islamic State forces from the Turkish border.

“I say to the international community that whatever price must be paid, we will never allow the establishment of a new state on our southern frontier in the north of Syria,” Erdogan was quoted by Turkish media as telling guests at a dinner to break the Ramadan fast.”

Yep, the damn Turks are going to drag Nato (meaning us) into a war.

Whose bright idea was it to let Turkey into Nato?

With a nation that’s rapidly being turned into a hellhole and our nation being invaded by at least 30 million castoffs from other nations, we don’t need our military to become mired in a war to save the phony in the White Hut!

This government, and this evil Obama regime, is the enemy of decent American families and the Judeo-Christian ethos.

The Congress is larded with rats with only a few voices crying in the wilderness....but to no avail.

The war is HERE in America against the destroyers of the Constitution and of all the evils manifested since 1912.

Down with liberalism. Down with secular humanism.

Man the ramparts. Wave the flag.

You’ll love this...

“ISIS can be defeated in a matter of days: ex-Israel Prime Minister”

excerpt: “The dreaded militant group Islamic State (ISIS) is not that strong and it is possible to destroy them in a matter of days as they have never fought a real battle, Israel’s former prime minister Ehud Barak has said.

Arguing that ISIS has “never fought a real battle”, 73-year-old Barak in an interview yesterday to the Russian news channel RT said, “I think that ISIS is successful to a certain extent because they are not facing a concentrated effort to destroy the organisation.

“Technically they aren’t that strong. They are made up of only about 30-40 thousand people,” the Israeli soldier who also served as defence minister for six years said.”

And, the Germans could contribute their heavily amored
3rd Pansy Division.

Watch, this “invasion” will result in our leaving billions of dollars in arms and equipment in Syria for ISIS to have and use.

EVERYTHING Obama has done has been to finance, arm, and get out of their way.

Airdrop them behind enemy lines. They can attack the enemy’s rear.
