High noon in Syria
by Don Hank
Fox News is between a rock and a hard place. They
have always generally been anti-Putin because they have a lot of Neocon supporters, shareholders and officials.
But now Putin has scored big at the UN. Even the British PM is cautiously
inching over to his side and Merkel stated last week that she thinks Assad must
be included in negotiations over the fate of Syria. Most European countries are
taking a wait and see position and will bolt the US military monopoly if such is
appropriate. Putin has a plan and clearly wants to stop ISIS. Obama sorta has
a, well, you know, maybe a plan or something and has been pretending to fight
ISIS for years now. Judging by his actions, his plan is to lose the war on ISIS
and allow them to romp freely, slicing throats to their hearts content until
Assad – the only leader who has been
sincerely fighting Assad for 4.5 years – is gone. While Obama’s position is
incomprehensible and confusing, Putin’s position is clear and easily understood.
One could articulate it in part as follows:
Syrian Christians overwhelmingly support Assad because they know that if he leaves power, their life expectancy is considerably shorter.
Assad is not a dictator (though Fox still calls him that in the article below). He was duly elected (unlike the Saudis whom we support – NO Neocon voices are calling for the unelected Saudi dictator-king to step down. How phony and hypocritical can you get?)
Since the popular Assad is still the president, anyone entering Syria without his permission – including the US military in its pretend fight against ISIS – is there illegally per international law. Putin and his coalition have been invited by the Syrian people via their elected leader to fight ISIS and are there legally and legitimately.
