Syria hails U.S.-Russia chemical weapons deal as a ‘victory’ that averts war

Posted on by

“A US-Russian plan to remove Syria’s chemical weapons is a ‘victory’ that averts a war, a Syrian minister said Sunday, as Washington’s top diplomat briefed Israel about the landmark deal.  Some Israeli commentators raised the question of whether Washington would lean on Israel to ratify the international treaty banning the use of chemical weapons.
Israel signed the Chemical Weapons Convention in 1993 but never ratified it, despite demands to do so from Washington and Moscow.”

Cheer Up, Obama. Israel Is Happy With Your Syria Plan

Posted on by

“Whatever is being said elsewhere about U.S. President Barack Obama’s performance in the Syria crisis, the verdict from Israel can be read in the morning papers: ‘Wise’… ‘Credible’ ….’An American victory.’ The American leader who for the first four years of his presidency could never quite win the trust of the Israeli public now is being hailed as a model of principled resolve, a Churchillian figure whose insistent threat of force — an Israeli specialty — extracted a promise to remove weapons of mass destruction from one border, and in terms that will not be lost on an Iranian regime suspected of harboring an even larger threat in its nuclear program.”

NSA shares raw intelligence including Americans’ data with Israel

Posted on by

“Details of the intelligence-sharing agreement are laid out in a memorandum of understanding between the NSA and its Israeli counterpart that shows the US government handed over intercepted communications likely to contain phone calls and emails of American citizens. The agreement places no legally binding limits on the use of the data by the Israelis.  The disclosure that the NSA agreed to provide raw intelligence data to a foreign country contrasts with assurances from the Obama administration that there are rigorous safeguards to protect the privacyof US citizens caught in the dragnet.  The deal was reached in principle in March 2009, according to the undated memorandum.”

Chomsky: U.S. is a ‘rogue state’ that ‘doesn’t pay attention to international law’

Posted on by

“‘We should bear in mind that the core principle of the United Nations Charter bars the threat or use of force. So all of this is criminal, to begin with, but he’ll continue with that.’ ‘The United States is a rogue state,’ he averred. ‘It doesn’t pay any attention to international law.’  Furthermore, he said, ‘(t)his would be a perfect opportunity to ban chemical weapons, to impose the chemical weapons convention on the Middle East.’ The U.S., of course, Chomsky noted, will never go along with that because of one nation in the Middle East ‘which has chemical weapons and is in violation of the chemical weapons convention and has refused even to ratify it — namely Israel.'”

Paul Craig Roberts: Why Are Obama and Kerry Desperate to Start a New War?

Posted on by

withkitties_150_1202

“Isn’t it a threat to international security when a superpower can, acting on a whim, demonize a leader and a country and unleash mass destruction, as the US has done seven times in the past twelve years? There are millions of innocent but demonized victims of the ‘indispensable, exceptional USA,’ the ‘light unto the world.’ Forget about the US media, which is nothing but a propaganda ministry for the Israel Lobby. What the members of Congress and what the American people need to ask obama is why does the White House only represent the Israel Lobby? No one supports an attack on Syria but the Israel Lobby.”

Kerry: Arab countries offered to pay for Syria invasion

Posted on by

“Secretary of State John Kerry said at Wednesday’s hearing that Arab counties have offered to pay for the entirety of unseating President Bashar al-Assad if the United States took the lead militarily.  ‘With respect to Arab countries offering to bear costs and to assess, the answer is profoundly yes,’ Kerry said. ‘They have. That offer is on the table.’
Asked by Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) about how much those countries would contribute, Kerry said they have offered to pay for all of a full invasion. ‘In fact, some of them have said that if the United States is prepared to go do the whole thing the way we’ve done it previously in other places, they’ll carry that cost,’ Kerry said.”

House Staffer Tells Me What AIPAC Is Doing

Posted on by

“Israel has no problem with the Assad regime. Like their dearly departed fellow former strongman Hosni Mubarak, both Hafez and Bashir Assad scrupulously kept the peace with Israel since 1973. As for chemical weapons, Israel not only has used them in Gaza but is one of seven countries in the world (Syria is another one) that has not ratified the treaty banning their use.  Additionally, any regime likely to succeed Assad’s is likely to be more militantly anti-Israel and more trigger happy than the current regime. The reason Israel (and its lobby) are going all out to push the United States to attack Syria is as a precedent for a much larger attack on Iran.”

Who funds Syrian rebel advocate O’Bagy and her ‘Task Force’? You do

Posted on by

“The Syrian Emergency Task Force, the pro-rebel lobbying outfit that employs widely quoted intervention advocate Elizabeth O’Bagy as its political director, receives funding from the U.S. Department of State and related government contractors. In an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller earlier last week, O’Bagy explained how she got paid. O’Bagy has been roundly condemned for working for a pro-Syrian lobbying group at the same time she was casting the Syrian rebels in a positive light. She works as an analyst at the neoconservative think tank, the Institute for the Study of War.”

Petition To AIPAC: Stay Out Of Our Foreign Policy!

Posted on by

“We the undersigned demand that  you, the pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), STAY OUT of America foreign policy, that you call back the hundreds of lobbyists you have currently sent to D.C. to bribe congress to attack Syria, and that you let the American people make up their own minds regarding what is best for America.  Just as no other nation comes before Israel for Israelis, no other nation comes before America for Americans.”

AIPAC to deploy hundreds of lobbyists to push for Syria action

Posted on by

“The influential pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee will deploy hundreds of activists next week to win support in Congress for military action in Syria, amid an intense White House effort to convince wavering U.S. lawmakers to vote for limited strikes.  ‘We plan a major lobbying effort with about 250 activists in Washington to meet with their senators and representatives,’ an AIPAC source said on Saturday.  Congressional aides said they expected the meetings and calls on Tuesday, as President Barack Obama and officials from his administration make their case for missile strikes.”
