Insane Babble and Willful Blindness

I looked at an article about Syria and the babbling brook of idiocy was flowing swiftly: by that I mean the doofus writing.

Syria has been a bastion for terrorism since the bad old days; or for as long as I can remember anyway. Going back to such things as the Baader-Meinhof gang. That was when terror groups in the 1970's took haven in and received money from every Arab tyranny there was. All of the Arab tyrannies themselves were aided by Russia, who was the primary funder of Communist terrorists in the West.

What does that have to do with anything you ask? Syria is a nation run by cut throats, with Assad as the big-cheese rat in charge. He will hang onto power too, he is not Mubarak of Egypt. He has killed his way into power, right along with his father, who was the former tyrant there. Dad handed the reins to sonny and here it is, another massacre in the works perpetrated by the junior Assad.

This is a nation wherein the Baath Party rules. There has never been a bigger pack of killers than that bunch, they are every bit the equal of Communism. The Baath are a blend of Communism and Arab nationalism. I predict that Assad will maintain power and that he could end up killing 50,000 people to do it. It would not be the first time that Syria has massacred tens of thousands.

My point in all of that is, that the news writers lie and they do it on purpose. There is a willful blindness and it shows itself in idiotic babble. They are always wrong in their assessments and they will be wrong here. Assad is not going anywhere.

Let us consider this--"Washington's plan to peel the country away from Hamas, Hezbollah and Tehran."--huh, who wrote that crap? It is willful blindness to write that. Syria has funded both groups and always will, it ain't just Iran that sends them money and firepower. Hezbollah did not just show up on Israels borders one day with anti-aircraft guns.

Those are serious weapons in anybodies army--where did they get them? I believe that Sherlock Holmes would use deduction and induction; and that it would be elementary. They got them by way of Russia, who sold them to a middleman. Russia is friend to Syria and that is a big friend to have. It is all portentous and I do not see the sun rising and melting the cold dawn away.

That is the reason that I posted part of the article here. To me, it has relevance to a future conflict, and it won't be pretty. The United States has become a bastion of fools and dolts, who espouse their foolishness in colleges and in government. That ain't good, people. It may not happen within the next 5 years, but it will happen; we will live to face Syria, Iran, Yemen and other looney-toon nations on the battle field. You just remember that I said that, because prophecy is easy when you have read the Book. It won't just be Israels fight then, it will be ours.

And we are already in it, by being in Afghanistan and Iraq and we will not extricate ourselves in this one. This ain't Vietnam or Korea and we ain't going to just pick up our toys and go home. It amazes me how many Americans don't get that basic premise, we ain't getting out of this without a fight. They took took our World Trade Center down, we didn't take theirs. That was a cold shower of water on our propensity to dawdle in America.

Below is part of the article with the link.


Unrest in Syria has repercussions well beyond the country's borders.

Syria has a pivotal role in most of the flashpoint issues of the Middle East — from the Arab-Israeli peace process to Iran's widening influence — because of its alliances with militant groups such as Lebanon's Hezbollah and Shiite powerhouse Iran.

Instability in Syria also throws into disarray the U.S. push for engagement with Damascus, part of Washington's plan to peel the country away from Hamas, Hezbollah and Tehran.

The White House said Monday it is considering sanctions against the Syrian government in response to the brutal crackdowns on protesters. The statement from National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor was the first time officials had said publicly that sanctions were possible in Syria.

Syria already is subject to numerous penalties as it is deemed a "state sponsor of terrorism" by the State Department, but it maintains diplomatic relations with Washington.

Monday's sweep into Daraa, in a province of about 300,000 people, sought to hit the opposition movement at one of its pillars. The protests against Assad began there in March and several political figures from the area have stepped down to protest the violence in embarrassing defections from the regime.

The area was ripe for unrest: The grip of Syria's security forces is weaker on the border areas than around the capital, Damascus, and Daraa hasn't benefited from recent years of economic growth. Meanwhile, Daraa has absorbed many rural migrants who can no longer farm after years of drought.

In recent days, there had been signs that the regime was planning to launch a massive push against the opposition.
