Syria Airstrikes


Every Monday, the WoW! community and our invited guests weigh in at the Watcher’s Forum, short takes on a major issue of the day, the culture, or daily living. This week’s question: What Happens Next In Syria?

Don Surber: I posted my answer.

I told readers on Thursday, “My money is on a lot of rockets red glare while the Saudis quietly take care of business. You need them to go in because they can tell the difference between an actual Syrian rebel and an Islamic State terrorist. Obama never realized that.

“Besides, it is their land, not ours. Let them defend it. No American president wants to send in ground troops. Had we fought the Gulf War this way, that New World Order thing may have worked.”

Now hindsight is 20/20 on the Gulf War. The Gulf states lacked quantity of troops necessary. But on the other hand, they would not allow Western soldiers enter Baghdad. What a mess.

27 years later, we provide the bombs, the Saudis provide the ground troops.

The Saudis have the bombs but couldn’t bomb Syria without drawing return fire from Russia. That would have led to a war no one wants.

So we provided cover, and brought along Britain and France. With China siding with Russia, the five permanent members of the UN are split with three on the side of good, and two on the side of Assad.

Trump will bring the shock and awe, and maybe keep a few troops on the ground.

But the Gulf states are doing the heavy lifting, just as they are doing in Yemen where there is another proxy war between the Arabs and Iran.

The Syria strike is the Trump Doctrine at its best. We provide the backup to our friends involved in regional conflicts. Korea is another example. We are enabling South Korea to negotiate with the North directly, for the first time in 68 years.

Trump also severed our foreign policy to the human rights restriction that Jimmy Carter imposed.

Why not? Obama ignored it in Cuba and Iran.


Rob Miller: I pretty much explored this here.

Whether the recent gas attack on Douma was Assad’s work or a false flag photo op by the rebels is irrelevant. This is simply the norm when it comes to war in this part of the world. Nor does it really have much to do with ISIS as far as I’m concerned. What is important is not allowing Iran to have a strategic bloc extending to Mediterranean and not allowing them to neutralize our allies…the Kurds and their Christian and Yazedi partners.

History shows us that a power that allows to be wiped out because it’s inconvenient to get involved or more convenient to simply sell them out to appease a hostile power always suffers the consequences, and those consequences can be very significant.

We have 2,000 or so boots on the ground in Syria embedded with the Kurds and they serve a significant purpose of actually preventing an escalation as well as protecting our allies. Israeli PM Netanyahu has already told Putin that Israel will not allow a significant Iranian presence in Syria.That’s a red line Israel will not allow to be crossed. And Putin not only understands it, he’s likely quite willing tocontinue the status quo as long as Russia continues to have access to the warm water ports and there are no Russian casualties.

Putin and Netanyahu have a fairly good relationship, and Putin has been happy to look the other way when the Israelis (or who knows who?) bomb Syrian,Hezbollah or Iranian facilities to destroy weapons shipments or other strategic objectives as long as no Russians were killed. But if Iran becomes more insistent on establishing bases, missile launching sites or other military presence in Syria, the war will definitely escalate, and if Russia comes in as part of a proxy war, so will we. Putin understands that too.

Since Russia can’t afford a war financially or logistically, it would suit both parties to simply settle for a stand off.

While Russia has promised ‘consequences’ for the recent missile strikes and has a small armada of ships headed towards Syria, rest assured that Putin won’t risk war with the U.S. directly. Instead, the attempt at ‘consequences’ is almost certain to be made by Hezbollah or the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, both of whom lack real air power. That pretty much determines that their efforts won’t succeed, unless Russia intervenes…which it won’t.

Syria itself has always been something of a failed state. It has a couple of trading cities in Aleppo and Damascus, but there’s little or no trade happening now. Half of it is desert, and there’s little else except some agricultural land and a couple of good ports on the Mediterranean. It doesn’t even really matter if Assad stays in power or not. No one has really been able to make much of Syria…not the Seleucids, not the Mongols, not the Ottomans, and certainly not the French or the Arabs.Assad himself admits it will likely take $400 billion dollars to fix Syria’s infrastructure and get its economy even close to functioning on the limited level it was before the war. The Russians certainly don’t have it, Iran doesn’t either and Syria has nothing like oil to interest the Chinese. The only thing Assad has to offer anyone is warm water ports, Putin’s chief interest. And a closer striking point aiming at Israel, which is what the Ayatollahs want, along with a land link to their other Mideast colony, Lebanon.

Our best bet is to stay the course, keep a presence in Syria and continue to arm and train the Kurdish Persh Mergah.

Well, there it is!

Jihadists In #Syria Using Anti-Tank Guided Missiles, Apr 8, 2017 Video. Where Did Jihadists Get These Weapons?

Where did they get these weapons…? John McCain, Obama & now DONALD TRUMP?? (who wanted to end this) funded these insane Jihadists screaming “Allah’u Ackbar”?! Just think: We’re on the side of the Jihadists…..AGAIN?!

Read this: NOW, Tillerson says “Fate of Syria’s Assad should be left up to Syrians”

Look at the past and how we armed these Jihadists:

The Guardian: The US decision to send weapons to Syria repeats a historical mistake …

BBC: Arming Syrian rebels: Where the US went wrong – BBC News

WSJ: U.S., Allies to Boost Aid to Syria Rebels – WSJ – Wall Street Journal

THERE IS NO DENYING WE ARMED THESE BASTARDS.

If it Sneaks in the Night Like a Raid, and Targets Like a Raid

Unified Patriots by Vassarbushmills

It’s a raid. Dammit.

And not a war.

A raid is designed to achieve a limited objective. Raids are not impetuous, born of anger or moral indignation…so no, Ivanka seeing children dead from gas did not prompt this raid.

Entebbe was a raid. The Israelis didn’t invade Uganda, just snatched some hostages and killed some bad guys then took the hostages home. In and out in a few hours. Jimmy Doolittle’s B-17 attack on Tokyo in 1942 was also a raid. Just a message that we’re coming, and what’s coming with us when we finally could invade. Hell showed up two short years later.

The Dirty Dozen went on a raid. They didn’t invade Germany. Just a big hotel for horny generals. Richard Burton carried out a raid on Rommel. In fact, every he-man Hollywood actor carried out raids on Rommel. Or at Navarone. Or Heartbreak Ridge. Clint Eastwood in Grenada reminds me that Reagan’s incursion there was also a raid, not a takeover, not even a war, even though Cuba lost a bunch of soldiers. The UN condemned us and Canada disapproved. Even England (Margaret Thatcher) which proves that even great minds can disagree and stay friends.

Laying one across an enemy’s bow is a raid. One and done. John Calipari, call your office, you’ve been plagiarized.

In the past 15 years how many raids have been carried out by Israel alone against Syria and Iran? How many wars have resulted? How many nuclear holocausts have been deterred? Delayed? How many UN of Democrat Party condemnations resulted by Israel doing the same thing as Donald Trump has just done?

Ambassador Haley on U.S. Airstrikes in Syria

Remarks at a UN Security Council Meeting on the Situation in Syria

Ambassador Nikki Haley
U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations
U.S. Mission to the United Nations
New York City
April 7, 2017

AS DELIVERED

For six years, the world has watched as the Syrian government and its leader, Bashar al-Assad, have terrorized its own people. It has murdered hundreds of thousands and displaced millions. It has broken international law and violated numerous UN resolutions. It has committed criminal acts that shock the conscience of all humanity. The international community has repeatedly expressed its outrage. The Joint Investigative Mechanism has found beyond any doubt that the Syrian regime has used chemical weapons against its own people multiple times. On Tuesday, the Assad regime launched yet another chemical attack on civilians, murdering innocent men, women, and children in the most gruesome way. Assad did this because he thought he could get away with it. He thought he could get away with it because he knew Russia would have his back. That changed last night.

As I warned on Wednesday, when the international community consistently fails in its duty to act collectively, there are times when states are compelled to take their own action. The indiscriminate use of chemical weapons against innocent civilians is one of those times. The United States will not stand by when chemical weapons are used. It is in our vital national security interest to prevent the spread and use of chemical weapons. Our military destroyed the airfield from which this week’s chemical strike took place. We were fully justified in doing so. The moral stain of the Assad regime could no longer go unanswered. His crimes against humanity could no longer be met with empty words. It was time to say “enough,” but not only say it – it was time to act. Bashar al-Assad must never use chemical weapons again. Ever.

Now, while the Syrian regime is responsible for the chemical weapons attack, it is not the only guilty party. The Iranian government bears a heavy responsibility. It has propped up and shielded Syria’s brutal dictator for years. Iran continues to play a role in the bloodshed in Syria. The Russian government also bears considerable responsibility. Every time Assad has crossed the line of human decency, Russia has stood beside him. We had hoped the Security Council would move forward, but Russia made it known, as it has done seven times before, that it would use its veto once again, covering up for the Assad regime. Further delay by compromising with Russia for a watered down resolution would have only strengthened Assad. Strengthening Assad will only lead to more murders. We were not going to allow that.

But it’s even more than that. Russia is supposed to be a guarantor of the removal of chemical weapons from Syria. Think about that. Russia is supposed to have removed all the chemical weapons from Syria, but obviously that has not happened, as innocent Syrians continue to be murdered in chemical attacks. Let’s think about the possible reasons for Russia’s failure. It could be that Russia is knowingly allowing chemical weapons to remain in Syria. It could be that Russia has been incompetent in its efforts to remove the chemical weapons. Or, it could be that the Assad regime is playing the Russians for fools, telling them that there are no chemical weapons, all the while stockpiling them on their bases. The world is waiting for the Russian government to act responsibly in Syria. The world is waiting for Russia to reconsider its misplaced alliance with Bashar Assad.

The United States will no longer wait for Assad to use chemical weapons without any consequences. Those days are over. But now we must move to a new phase, a drive toward a political solution to this horrific conflict. We expect the Syrian regime and its allies to take the UN political process seriously, something they have not done up until this point.

We expect Russia and Iran to hold their ally accountable and abide by the terms of the ceasefire. We expect this Council to speak loudly and forcefully when the regime or its allies undermine the political process and countless of our own resolutions.

The United States took a very measured step last night. We are prepared to do more, but we hope that will not be necessary. It is time for all civilized nations to stop the horrors that are taking place in Syria and demand a political solution.

Thank you.
