"Sir Michael
Fallon says UK backs future military action in retaliation to Assad regime
using chemical weapons”
Quite simply, the statement of a liar, a two-bit version of
Tony Blair.
Syria has no chemical weapons.
None.
They were disposed of the last time this ruse was attempted
by Obama, and they were disposed of under an international agreement signed by
the US and Russia.
Isn't it interesting that this comes not long after the
world's last great investigative reporter, Seymour Hersh, explained that the
excuse for Trump's missile attack on a Syrian airbase in April was totally a
lie.
The supposed gas attack by Syrian forces on rebel-held town
of Khan Sheikhoun was a fraud, and Trump's own intelligence people told him so
before he launched the missiles.
So, here we go again, American aggression in response to
covert fantasies.
Never mind the principles involved in attacking a sovereign
country that has not attacked or threatened you.
Never mind international law.
Never mind the serious risk of conflict with Russia, a
country in Syria at the invitation of the government, its ally.
This is all about one thing: America's deep government
recognizes that its filthy, costly mercenary-terror war in Syria has failed,
but it is not going to accept an outcome which allows Syria's legitimate, and
widely-supported, government to continue.
It knows, in its infinite arrogance, better than Syria's own
people how they should be ruled.
Why is that?
Very simply, this whole Syrian horror for years has
represented nothing more than Israel's demand to see Syria dismembered. It
wants to keep its stolen Syrian property on the Golan Heights, property the
world does not recognize as Israel’s, and it wants an independent-minded leader
in the region, Assad, eliminated. It also wants to run a gas pipeline to Europe
through someone else’s country, Syria, in order to sell gas stolen from Syria
and Gaza.
And, of course, America's bought-and-paid-for political
establishment is ready to deliver what Israel wants, three bags full.
This is the kind of world in which we live, a world where
two aggressive and powerful countries, one effectively the colony of the other
and both always blubbering about democracy and ethics as they attack, steal,
and pillage.
