Selling the Syrian Airstrikes: The Lies of the War
Establishment
By
William C. Lewis
The U.S. war
establishment is using the ISIS propaganda scare to
police the world and continuously subject resistant
nations to their global NATO imperial plans through
massive aerial bombardment violence that is already
murdering people not taking part in hostilities.
It’s not just
the ISIS group that is an instrument to launch
further wars for empire, either. There are new
groups and endless enemies that the Washington war
cabal is now naming, including the Khorasan group.
The U.S. war
criminals dropped as many bombs on Syria in one
night on September 23 than the entire span of recent
bombings/170 plus death dealing airstrikes on Iraq
in the name of waging war against ISIL, which is
really a campaign designed to further destroy the
Iraqi nation to control its petroleum . In Syria,
U.S. NATO imperialists bombed 50 targets in Raqqa,
Deir al-Zor and Hasakah provinces and also conducted
airstrikes in Alleppo.
According to
the Britain based Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights the U.S. and its five partners in imperial
conquest—Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and
the United Arab Emirates targeted a residential
building in Aleppo used by the Nusra Front, a
militant group which these war mongers have been
backing for the past several years to destabilize
the Bashar-al-Assad government and eight civilians
were killed, including three children.
The US fired 47
Tomahawk cruise missiles from ships in the Red Sea
and Northern Persian Gulf at targets in Raqqa.
Fighter jets and bombers — plus Tomahawk cruise
missiles and drone aircraft are the deadly
combination of violence that is feeding the economic
interests of the U.S. military industrial corporate
complex in these targeted areas of the besieged
country. It’s the first time that the Pentagon has
deployed its F-22 Raptor jets into combat to destroy
people’s homes in Syria which war masters will call
"collateral damage."
The Syrian
Foreign Minister Walid Moualem is making nervous
statements attempting to keep his government from
being overthrown in the recent onslaught of
airstrikes targeting militants. Moualem is stating
that Washington cannot do it alone in the fight
against the groups and that ground forces of the
Syrian army are necessary.
This
genuflection to U.S. aggression in the hopes that
the Syrian government will not suffer a targeted
overthrow in the same way that the U.S. NATO
military machine used airstrikes against Libya and
jihadist proxy mercenaries to assassinate Muammar
Gaddafi and massacre his supporters is exemplary of
the violent nature of the global NATO militarized
corporate war machine and its ability to intimidate
world leaders of other nations. NATO U.S. war
criminal imperialists will both use ISIS/Al Nusra
against Assad and simultaneously attack these groups
to bombard the Syrian countryside with U.S. weaponry
to benefit the capitalist interests of the war
contractors supplying the armaments.
The flagrant
deception of claiming and camouflaging the fact that
the militant jihadist groups are a tool of U.S.
foreign policy and claiming that NATO and five Arab
Nations, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and
the United Arab Emirates must stop ISIS after the
CIA armed the group utilizing Saudi and Qatari
military cargo aircraft and, along with Al Nusrah,
used these militants for several years to attack
Bashar Al Assad and cut the heads off of supporters
of his government, shows the deadly hypocrisy of the
American exceptionalist foreign policy to which
Barack Obama so rigidly adheres. U.S. Special Forces
trained ISIS fighters in Jordan. Some would call
this the doctrine of hypocrisy and others would say
it is just plain criminal. U.S war criminals and
Arab petro-monarchy capitalist elite terrorist
financer nations now conduct airstrikes in Syria to
brutalize civilians including half a dozen victims
that include three children who are now dead and
certainly many more will die in the days and weeks
to follow. Aren’t these deaths of innocents just as
bad as the purported beheadings we have seen of
western journalists over and over in the corporate
mainstream media to engineer support for yet another
deadly futile war?
The corporate
war machine that thrives from victimizing innocent
civilians and arming proxy groups that later become
its enemies sets itself out to do one thing—make
enormous profits from war and death. The Pope in
2013 called the Pentagon’s proposed war against
Syria a commercial war for arms sales and is now
silent.
