Syria: The Next Humanitarian War?

~snip~

(name redacted because he's a complete asshole), an independent journalist that works in Washington, D.C., columnist for several important newspapers, websites and news agencies and an analyst og security and defense issues at Fox News, BBC and Al-Jazeera, among other international news outlets, reported that the U.S. ambassador to Syria, Robert S. Ford, has gone to work on recruiting Arab death squads who are integrated with militants from al-Qaida in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen and Chechnya, to fight security forces in Syria.

Again, geopolitical and geostrategic interests win over alleged ideological differences, which would make al-Qaida one of the worst enemies of the United States. Just as Washington trained and financed Osama bin Laden and his holy warriors to launch them against the Soviets in Afghanistan and later against the Russians in the Caucasus, now it doesn’t hesitate to take advantage of the same situation in Syria.

Between 2004 and 2006, Ford served as political counselor at the U.S. embassy in Iraq. Ambassador Ford served under John Dimitri Negroponte, who was previously the U.S. ambassador to Honduras between 1981 and 1985, a period in which he was a key figure in organizing the Nicaraguan contras and supporting death squads commanded by Roberto d’Aubuisson. Negroponte entrusted Ford with implementing the Salvadorian option in Iraq to quell the insurgency against the American occupation.

Today, as Syrian ambassador, Ford pledges loyalty to the Salvadorian option and organizes fundamentalist death squads, which lay the groundwork for public insurrection and Washington and NATO’s upcoming humanitarian war. The strategy is so obvious that the entire world should take notice, in the absence of the efficient work of propaganda and misinformation by the large Western media outlets.

1. The next major structure blown up in America should be renamed after Robert S. Ford

This wars against Syria and Iran are going to end very, very badly for everyone involved. We can thank guys like Ford for throwing gasoline and explosives into the fire and creating the right environment for terrorist reprisals against Americans worldwide.

2. Even the repub candidates at their debate weren't for war in Syria and they are as crazy
on foreign policy issues as you can get.

It will never happen unless the UN authorizes it and they are far from doing that. The UN can't even agree to issue a statement that what is happening in Syria is a bad thing, much less a resolution to do anything about it.
