That explains everything nicely. If Al Qaeda is asking Muslims to assist the rebels, then we know exactly who the rebels are: Hardline Islamist fanatics who, when they gain absolute power in Syria - as they certainly will do - will add another country to the ever-growing list of those whose only philosophies are hatred and murder.
And, by the way, Israel PAYS for its weaponry. Why don't you suggest that Saudi Arabia stops getting help from the USA? Because it gets more assistance and arms from you than any other place does. And they are the people who are at the bottom of all terrorism with their Wahabist programme. Wake up.
Preparing The Theater For A Strike On Iran The age old strategy of divide and conquer is taking place in Syria. Assad belongs to the Alawite sect which is aligned with the Shiites. The rebel forces( so called protestors) are Sunni. America and Israel are backing the rebel forces because they want regime change in Syria, America wants a Sunni government installed in Syria. Assad's Alawites Syria has a defense pact with Iran, when one country is attacked by foreign forces the other country will assist. The defense pact was signed in 2006, and Iran and Syria say they are commited to the pact. If Assad is toppled and a Sunni government installed, a Sunni Syria would be hostile towards Iran. Iran is a Shiite nation which has close ties with the Assad regime. I hope I do not have to explain that military tensions is bluiding between Iran and America/Israel. America will soon have 3 carrier groups in the vacinity of Iran, with a fourth(USS George Bush) one day sail away. Israel is pushing America to consider the military option against Iran, Israel believes sanctions will not stop Iran's nuclear program. The road to Tehran is through Damascus, toppling Assad is a stepping stone towards preparing the theatre for a strike on Iran. America is voicing concern over the humanitarian conditions in Syria, but America's true adgenda is regime change. Toppling Assad makes a strike on Iran much more easy. Assad's Syria also supports Lebanon's Shiite Hezbollah, a Sunni Syria would cut its support to Hezbollah. Toppling Assad,therefore, kills two security concerns of Israel. America's foreign policy doesn't revolve around humanitarian concerns, America foreign policy revolves around Israel. "The Arab League will call Sunday for the U.N. Security Council to create a joint peacekeeping force for Syria" LOL, correction - - The Arab League will call Sunday for the U.N. Security Council to create a joint REGIME CHANGING force for Syria" . The AL calls for a force that will have no contact with the Assad regime, but will have contact with the rebels. The force will assist in political transition. This is no peacekeeping force, but another tactic for regime change, expect vetoes from Russia and China( If it even reaches the UN Security Council, good luck). "Al Qaeda urges Muslims to help Syria rebels(Sunni rebels)" My God, I do not even know where to start, but is America going on the same side as Al Qaeda just to topple Assad to make a strike on Iran less complicated. I will say 2 words, "EXPECT BLOWBACK".
"America's foreign policy doesn't revolve around humanitarian concerns, American foreign policy revolves around Israel." Excuse me, but Israeli citizens are human beings, and concern for Israel's welfare is therefore a humanitarian concern. The USA has a huge amount to make up for, considering that your government knew about the annihilation of Europe's Jews while it was happening, and just happily allowed it to continue. The USA and UK KNEW and WATCHED and DID NOTHING. They both have one hell of a lot to make up for, and so the least they can do is help protect Israelis now.
Add strange bedfellows John McCain, Newt Gingrich, the Arab League and the EU to that "same goals" (get rid of Assad) group, and put Russia, China and Iran on the other side.
Lets analyze this: Maybe, all the Syrian dissidents can go hide now as fugitives. This man is a study in failure 101. If you where an odds maker in Las Vegas, what are the dissidents chances of winning now in the near future? Better yet, what is Mr Obama's administration's chance at selling Syrian intervention to even congress, let alone the American public? Mr Obama does not anyway he just uses the military reguardless of what much of congress thinks, he did it in Libya. But this is a 'Jumbo' kick in the butt to the Syrian dissidents diplomatically, You have "foreign enemy number 1" seal of approval, a c ranked player at best in real military power. Republican interventionist John McCain, how you going to 'spin' this one now? You got lots of egg on your face now.
Al Qaeda's chief has called on Muslims from other countries to support rebels in Syria seeking to overthrow President Bashar Assad, saying they cannot depend on the West for help. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
The veto to halt the resolution came from eastern countries of Russia and China. Last time I checked, they were east of Iraq, not west. Maybe he gets east and west mixed up and makes the wrong calls to the heavens.
WHy is it Hillay and Obama have come down again on the side of terrorists? Were not the lawyers ,doctors and teachers leading the fight in libya,a long with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt? It has been a year in Egypt,since Mubarak has stepped down and I do not see much improvement.
You mean the secretary of defense Hillary Clinton, former first lady of the country, and President Barrak Husein Obama...get used to it. They'll be around for 4 more years.
The egyptian military are the buffer betten extremists and secular egyptians today. In many ways nothing has changed because the military wants dust to settle but are using american NGO's to maintain their legitimacy as temporary emgergency powers continue to keep the people there from freedom. As I see it, it is a strategic advantage to let it settle down, but it has been a year and the people want their civilian government, damn the infidels and democracy.
Al-Zawahri is HOPING his false alignment with the Syrian opposition will cause supporters of Assad's removal (the Arab League, the EU and the US) to hesitate or withdraw their support.
Since al Qaeda is on its last legs (thanks to President Obama), and desperate to remain relevant, they are attempting to co-op the position of the other side, and muddy the issue. They would also like the West and the Arab League to back off and give them free rein to operate in Syria.
The opposition to the Syrian uprising include China, Russia and Iran. Do you prefer THEM as allies in this siuation?
I seriously doubt the President and Secretary of Defense, with their intelligence and sound judgment, will take the bait.
We can count on the reactionary right in an election year to do that.
Occupy Wall Street was supported by Ahmadinejad, who was hoping that it will bring down capitalism. Just because some crazy guy or organization is supporting something, it doesn't mean that it's something that it shouldn't be done.

Kind of complicated, isn't it?
