SYRIA: Make sure you know who the bad guys are...




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…
