All week I have been hearing calls for President Obama to do
something about Syria; how can we allow the dictator of Syria, Bashar Assad to
gas his own people?
It is true that a year ago, Obama said that if Assad started
using chemical weapons against his own people, the United States would be
forced to act.
But the pressure from the GOP is pure politics and has
nothing to do with reality on the ground and that just pisses me off.
The huge factor is that we have no idea who used the
chemical weapons. Assad, just today, said come and investigate and determine if
my people used those weapons and you will find that we did not.
Would the rebels use chemical weapons against the people
they are trying to free from Assad’s rule? Hell yes they would; anything to lay
blame on Assad’s army.
The one thing that people reading about all the atrocities in
Syria fail to understand is who makes up the government and who makes up the
rebels fighting the government; it is not that simple.
In a previous blog, I mentioned that the government was
controlled by ALLOWITES. Who are these people? They are Muslims who are an
offshoot of the Shiite brand of Islam. Shiites, as you remember are most
heavily represented by IRAN; Shiites are sworn enemies of SUNNIS, another brand
of Islam.
I will not go into the history of Islam and how these two
versions of the same religion came about but suffice it to say that they have
no problem slaughtering each other and are doing just that as we speak.
The Syrian government of Assad is supported by the ALLOWITES
who have their own brand of Islam, IRAN who is Shiite and HEZBOLLAH, a Shiite
militant group out of Lebanon who is a stooge of Iran and a sworn enemy of
Israel.
The rebels are a mixed bag of SUNNI MUSLIMS who either want
to establish a SUNNI SYRIAN religious theocracy or Muslim secularists that just
want a democratic state. Believe me that al-Qaeda is involved big time and we
all know what their end game is.
Calls to have the U.S. arm the rebels with sophisticated
weapons was tricky as we did not really know who we were arming; maybe al-Qaeda
who would then turn on us once in power.
Obama is now signaling that he will do something to prevent
further attacks on civilians. I hope he has definitive proof who is behind
those attacks and does not pull another Bush move.
There is no real logical reason for Assad to use chemical
weapons knowing that using them would draw the U.S. into the conflict…I hope
Obama waits patiently to get the facts straight first before pressing the red
button…
