Syria - One big joke

A few days ago there was post of Israelis shooting down an Syrian bomber that was only .5miles s in its airspace and conducting a mission to bomb syrian rebel factions close to the israeli border. US and Israel knew this, yet israel shot down the bomber.



Today we learn that the US is now ordering a no-fly zone from assad's forces in their own country.

Pentagon: US Considers ‘No-Fly’ Zone Against Assad in Syria Posted By Jason Ditz On September 26, 2014 @ 8:09 pm In News | 4 Comments Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey say that the US is still considering the possibility of establishing a “no-fly zone” over northeastern Syria to deny the Syrian military the ability to launch airstrikes against the rebels therein. The idea is particularly puzzling in the northeast, since the US and its allies have been bombing ISIS targets in the exact same region. Since the US air war began, the Assad military has shifted its focus to the northwest, where other rebel factions are, allowing the US to do its dirty work for them. Gen. Dempsey also said that they are considering the Turkish proposal for a “buffer zone” carved out of northern Syria to house refugees. Turkey has sought the zone as a way to get rid of the 1.3 million refugees they’ve been saddled with, while waiting for some regime change to happen in Syria. That such schemes are even under consideration suggests that the Obama Administration haven’t given up on the idea of expanding their new ISIS war to include Syria’s government as well, even though they’re fighting ISIS as well.

Looks like the US pivot from ISIS to Assad was quicker and with no pretenses involved at all, quicker than I expected.



We also find out that the US has made up this Khoreasan talk on the ground.

Reporters on the ground says Syrians know of no such organization at all, what the US actually bombed was AQS or Al-Nusra Front

Khorasan: Syrian Factions Never Heard of It Posted By Jason Ditz On September 26, 2014 @ 6:12 pm In News | 6 Comments Since the US began its airstrikes against Syria, the name Khorasan has been on everyone’s lips since, along with ISIS, they’ve become a top target. It’s puzzling for people in Syria, especially those affiliated with the rebellion, because none of them have ever heard of any such faction. Indeed, the evidence is increasingly that the US made it up. “The name is clearly US-originated,” noted analyst Pieter van Ostaeyen, who says that the name had never been mentioned by any jihadist movements until the US started talking them up. Rather, what is being referred to by the administration as Khorasan is simply al-Qaeda. When the US attacks “Khorasan” they’re really attacking Jabhat al-Nusra, al-Qaeda’s Syria group, and don’t want to admit it because the “moderate” rebels are all closely allied with al-Qaeda. But they aren’t allied with Khorasan because there is no such thing. The name is also a political convenience, so that when the TSA says the “Khorasan” is a threat to US flights, what they’re really saying is that al-Qaeda is a threat to US flights, hardly news, but a damning admission that 13 years of focusing on al-Qaeda in a global war hasn’t amounted to a hill of beans, and the threat is still there. They don’t want to admit that, so instead they invented the fiction of Khorasan to cover up the truth.

So think about this. The US government and the West say they are going to Syria and back to Iraq to destroy ISIS.

To that end they bomb Al-Nusra or AQS a group that previously was at war against ISIS (Syria: al-Nusra Front declares war on ISIS - http://ift.tt/10cKeX2) and at the best cause simply has agreed to not attack them first, instead of actual ISIS strong holds.



Also what has been the local response to the US lead bombing?

US Strikes Boost ISIS Recruitment in Syria’s Aleppo Posted By Jason Ditz On September 26, 2014 @ 6:39 pm In News | No Comments Syrian rebels say that the US airstrikes on ISIS inside Syria haven’t helped them. If you’re wondering who is benefiting, the answer could well be ISIS. Since President Obama announced his intention to strike Syria on September 10, ISIS has gained more than 200 new fighters in Aleppo Province alone. That’s likely a drop in the bucket compared to what it did for recruitment in provinces where they have a larger presence. The US couldn’t be following the ISIS map more closely if they planned it, as the group is building itself up into a larger and more influential faction primarily on the credibility it gets from being a top US enemy right now, moreso than the territory it gained in the past year. The administration’s answer to ISIS growing increasingly influential has been to hype them even further, and present them as a new, global enemy that needs to be wiped out through force of arms. Unsurprisingly, that has made many of the people in the line of fire of America’s newest war stand up and take notice, and is bringing a lot of them to ISIS, where they can resist the incoming US attacks on their homes.

US presence has aided ISIS.

I'm convinced ISIS was nothing but a backdoor into Syria to take out Assad more than ever now.

In Iraq they've found their bombing has been utterly ineffective, in Syria they are bombing ISIS and thinking of more ways to combat Assad than ISIS.

The people on the end ISIS bandwagon have been duped.

ISIS is the new yellow cake.
