Cowardly conspirators France, UK, U.S. vs. peoples of Middle

Another False flag
The
U.S., UK, and French governments have not explained why it matters whether
people in the wars initiated by the West are killed by explosives made of
depleted uranium or with chemical agents or any other weapon. [Paul
Craig Roberts]
But the Syrian government, “knowing that it is not
responsible for the chemical weapons incident,” has agreed for UN inspectors to
come in and determine the substance used and the method of delivery.
“However, Washington has declared that it is ‘too late’ for
UN inspectors and that Washington accepts the self-serving claim of the al
Qaeda affiliated ‘rebels’ that the Syrian government attacked civilians with
chemical weapons.”
In announcing the forthcoming attack on Syria (for Thursday),
“Washington has once again preempted any hope of peaceful settlement, destroyed
any incentive for the ‘rebels’ to participate in the peace talks with the
Syrian government.”
In an article posted today at Press TV economist and
columnist Paul Craig Roberts ponders the “real agenda” of the West.
“It was obvious from the beginning,” he says, “that [U.S. President]
Obama was setting up the Syrian government for attack.”
After demonization came the “red line” then repeated unsubstantiated
charges; and “the final step in the frame-up was to orchestrate a chemical
incident and blame the Syrian government.”
But why, he asks?
“Clearly,” he says, “the U.S., UK, and French governments ─
which have continuously displayed their support for dictatorial regimes that
serve their purposes ─ are not the least disturbed by dictatorships.
“They brand {Syrian President Bashar Hafez al-] Assad a dictator as a means
of demonizing him for the ill-informed Western masses.
“But Washington, UK, and France support any number of
dictatorial regimes ─ such as the ones in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia; now Egypt’s military
dictatorship that is ruthlessly killing Egyptians without any Western
government speaking of invading Egypt for ‘killing its own people.’”
No, “the forthcoming Western attack on Syria has nothing whatsoever to do with bringing ‘freedom and democracy’ to Syria ─ any more than freedom and democracy were the reasons for attacking Iraq and Libya.” And “freedom and democracy” are still nonexistent in Iraq and Libya. The Western attack on Syria is also unrelated to human rights or justice or any of the high- sounding cause routinely used by the West to “cloak its criminality.”

Western-made Syrian and chemical weapons’ crisis
Today from Syria's government
Ambassador Ja’afari is quoted saying, “The West and Turkey ‘have
enabled terrorist groups to create a laboratory for chemical weapons on Turkish
territory with materials provided by Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar... and to
bring these chemical weapons to Syria for use’.
The Syrian government, the ambassador said, “has been
subject to false accusations. …” Many facts prove the government’s “innocence” and that “armed
groups have used chemical weapons in order to bring about military intervention
and aggression against Syria.”

| Bashar al- Jaafari |
Syria’s insightful and learned Bashar al- Jaafari is Permanent
Representative of the Syrian Arab Republic to the United Nations. He is a politician
born April 14, 1956, in Damascus, who took his academic credentials at
universities of Sceaux, Paris and of Sharif Hedayatuallah.
Bashar al- Jaafari began his political career with Syria’s Ministry
of Foreign Affairs (1980) and was the Third Secretary at the Syrian Embassy in
Paris (between 1983 and 1988). Ja’afari achieved the professional level of
Counselor during the years of 1991-1994 while serving at the Permanent Mission
of the Syrian Arab Republic to the United Nations Headquarters in New York. He
served again at the Syrian Embassy in France at the level of Minister Counselor
(1997-1998) and from 1998-2002, he was appointed Minister Plenipotentiary and
Chargé d'Affaires at the Syrian Embassy in Indonesia. In 2002, he was assigned
Director of the Department of International Organizations at the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs in Damascus, Syria and held the position until 2004. Ja’afari
was then sworn in as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary and Permanent
Representative of the Syrian Arab Republic to the United Nations Office in
Geneva. In 2006, he was sworn in as
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary and Permanent Representative of
the Syrian Arab Republic to the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
Syria’s Deputy Foreign Minister Miqdad
Faisal al-Miqdad was quoted in the press today saying that he
had previously presented UN chemical weapons inspectors with evidence proving
that ‘armed terrorist groups’ were behind deadly chemical attacks near Damascus
last week. The foreign minister said, according to Reuters, that “terrorist
groups are the ones” using chemical weapons “with the help of the United
States, the United Kingdom and France …”
He said “these chemical weapons will
soon be used by the same groups against the people of Europe.”
Weapons of Mass Destruction USA (brief)
Chemical
After World War I, the U.S. was party to the Washington Arms
Conference Treaty of 1922 which would have banned chemical weapons but failed
because it was rejected by France. The U.S. continued to stockpile chemical
weapons, eventually exceeding 30,000 tons of material.
The U.S. had participated in the formulations of the Hague
Conventions of 1899 and 1907 which banned chemical warfare among other things.
However, the United States never joined the article that prohibits chemical weapons.
Nuclear
Currently, the United States nuclear arsenal is deployed in three areas:
Land-based intercontinental
ballistic missiles, or ICBMs;
Sea-based, nuclear
submarine-launched ballistic missiles, or SLBMs; and
Air-based nuclear weapons of the
U.S. Air Force's heavy bomber group
The exact number of nuclear weapons possessed by the United
States is difficult to determine. Different treaties and organizations have
different criteria for reporting nuclear weapons, especially those held in
reserve, and those being dismantled or rebuilt:
As of 1999, the U.S. was said to
have 12,000 nuclear weapons of all types stockpiled.
In its Strategic Arms Reduction
Treaty (START) declaration for 2003, the U.S. listed 5,968 deployed warheads as
defined by START rules.
For 2007, the Bulletin of the
Atomic Scientists listed the U.S. with about 5,400 total nuclear warheads:
around 3,575 strategic and 500 nonstrategic warheads; and about 1,260
additional warheads held in the inactive stockpile. Other warheads are in some
step of the disassembly process.
The exact number as of September 30,
2009, was 5,113 warheads, according to a U.S. fact sheet released May 3, 2010.
U.S. territory-born journalist sees acts of failure, cowardice
Voice of Russia journalist John Robles writes, “The plan to
strike Syria is not only one of cowardice and an admission of utter and
complete failure by the United States on the diplomatic front but it is also
illegal without a United Nations resolution and an imminent threat to the
United States of America itself.
“It is obviously cowardly because launching missiles while
fearfully hiding behind a shield where there is no threat to [the U.S.] is not
something that an honorable soldier on a battlefield would do.
“It is the tactic of a coward.
“This tactic, however, is necessary for [President] Obama
because when the massive loss of American lives begins, the American people
will rise up and no longer support all of the callous unthinking military
adventures…, what some view as the illogical funding of Al-Qaeda and terrorists
to carry out the dirty work.
“What will happen [also] when these terrorist elements …
realize that they have been disposable pawns for the United States, that they
have been killing their own brothers and mothers and sisters?”
John Robles concludes,”The United States is missing a very
important opportunity in Syria …: a chance to rebuild its reputation and become
a respected, intelligent and grown up member and leader of the world community
by simply promoting a peaceful resolution…
The world is truly tired of U.S.
bombs and bellicose rhetoric and the actions of an arrogant one-world-power
wantonly bashing and bullying
its way across the globe.
its way across the globe.
“My thoughts,” he said, “are with the Syrian people and my
hope is that someone, somewhere, with the power to stop this madness will
listen.
“How about it, President of the United States of America,
Barack Hussein Obama, maybe it is time to use diplomacy and work for peace, and
to finally put the weapons down?
“You have a Nobel Peace Prize, after all; or does that mean
nothing?”

False flag
False flag or black flag describes covert military or
paramilitary operations designed to deceive in such a way that the operations
appear as though they are being carried out by other entities, groups or
nations than those who actually planned and executed them.
Operations carried during peace-time by civilian
organizations, as well as covert government agencies, may by extension be
called false flag operations if they seek to hide the real organization behind
an operation, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_flag
