Child wearing mask, to protect against his own kidnap, shows World how US supports Democracy in Bahrain

Who are these butchers, mass murderers and liars to pose as defenders and protectors of humanity? Their cynicism and hypocrisy are astounding. The truly appalling thing is that the vast majority of sane, moral humanity has to endure listening to these psychopaths who hold the rest of us ransom with their criminal insanity.

Western pathological liars hold world to ransom
28 August, 2013 – By Finian Cunningham – PressTV

The US, British and French governments have engaged in a decade of constant lies and war crimes around the world. The intermittent imperialist adventures of these capitalist powers over the past century have now subsumed into a seamless, never-ending state of permanent war on the world, as American fascist ideologues have long salivated for.

Syria is but their latest slaughter house, having unleashed a covert terror campaign on that country for the past two and half years using an array of mercenary death squads to topple the sovereign government of President Bashar al-Assad.

We now await phase two of the bloody Syrian operation – outright aerial bombardment and missile strikes, where the US, Britain and France act as the air force for the death squads on the ground. It’s an outrageous re-run of NATO’s regime change sacking of Libya during 2011.

Ten years ago, Washington and Britain launched a war on Iraq that resulted in as many as one million dead and an entire country still in ruins. That genocide was based then on blatant lies and fabrications concocted by the US and Britain. There is no dispute about that.

The world knows that the American and British governments indulged in an audacious hoax. Since then the world has not known one day of peace as the US and its cabal of allies launch murderous attack after murderous attack on one or another country.

Now the US, Britain and France are preparing to move from covert terrorism in Syria to all-out war – a war that could engulf, not just the region, but the entire world. The grotesque spectacle of those criminal regimes posing as upholders of international and human rights is sickening beyond words.

The warping of common morals and words into ugly inversions is consistent with the depraved world of criminality that the Western rogue states have imposed on the planet.

Every word, every action that comes from Washington, London and Paris betrays these liars. American Vice President Joe Biden feigns solemnity and says “there is no doubt” that the Syrian government forces of Bashar al Assad used chemical weapons of mass destruction last week, killing hundreds of civilians in “a heinous crime”.

Britain’s David Cameron grimaced and speaks of “appalling suffering caused by the Syrian regime” while French President Francois Hollande tries to sound statesmanlike, saying his country was “ready to punish” those responsible for “murdering innocents”.

Who are these butchers, mass murderers and liars to pose as defenders and protectors of humanity? Their cynicism and hypocrisy are astounding. The truly appalling thing is that the vast majority of sane, moral humanity has to endure listening to these psychopaths who hold the rest of us ransom with their criminal insanity.

Their fraudulence and duplicity pokes through the hollow, fake bombast. The White House says it is going to release “intel” to show the Syrian government’s culpability – but not before it had already dispatched warships to the coast off Syria.

So if the White House has evidence against Assad’s government, where is it? Why doesn’t Washington submit it to the UN chemical inspectors who are currently in Damascus trying to gather facts on the alleged gas incident last week?

American, British and French military chiefs meet their Saudi, Qatari, Turk and Israeli counterparts to draw up strike plans on Syria. It is done with a telling haste that demonstrates their reckless drive for another war before evidence and facts emerge showing that the perpetrators of last week’s chemical gas attack near Damascus were actually the al Qaeda death squads whom the Western media have cloaked with the risible identify of “Syrian rebels”.

Joe Biden says “no doubt” and Francois Hollande contends that “there is every reason to believe” that the Syrian government used chemical weapons. So, which is? “No doubt” or “every reason to believe”? That hint of ambiguity nails the absolute lack of anything. …more

Israel: US Decision to Strike Syria Made Within Hours
By: Yahya Dbouk – 27 August, 2013 – Al Akhbar

The decision to attack Syria will be made within hours, Israeli media report, noting that it will be carried out – in a limited scope – by a broad alliance of Western, regional, and Arab countries.

Israel’s Channel 10 television station reported by way of its Washington correspondent that US President Barack Obama will decide on a military strike against Syria very soon, if not within a few hours. The report stressed the “symbolic nature” of the attack, suggesting that it will not change the balance of forces on the ground.

The channel added that the operation will involve a number of countries, led by the US, Britain, and France, with support from Turkey and several Arab countries in the Gulf and Jordan, pointing out that this was the reason behind Monday’s meeting of military chiefs from around the world in Amman.

Nevertheless, the channel went out of its way to stress that the attack is not intended to either topple the regime or change the balance of forces between Damascus and the opposition, indicating that “the basic idea is that the attack will be a message and no more.”

Western powers are confident that they can disable 80 percent of Syria’s missile and chemical weapons arsenal.
The strike will likely come from outside Syria’s airspace, in international waters, in the form of guided missiles, according to the report. As for the targets, it said they would include Syrian army operation and command centers, or military bases from which the chemical weapons used near Damascus were launched.

Aside from preparing the ground diplomatically, the station continued, the attack will have to await the arrival of additional naval vessels, most likely from Britain, which will participate in the bombardment. The channel quoted Israeli security sources dismissing Syria’s ability to respond by attacking Israel, particularly in light of the fact that its army has been bled dry over the past two years, adding that the Western powers are confident that they can disable 80 percent of Syria’s missile and chemical weapons arsenal.

Most Israeli media outlets spoke with certainty about an imminent attack, predicting that the whole affair will remain contained, given the limited nature of the strike. Haaretz placed Tel Aviv at the center of events after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s open declaration that the West must do something to deter Assad and prevent a victory for the “radical alliance led by Iran.”

The newspaper noted that Israel is no longer a spectator in the unfolding events and has been preparing for all scenarios, reinforcing its positions in the occupied Golan and against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Haaretz’s military correspondent wrote, “It is difficult to predict how Assad will respond to the attack, without igniting a wider war,” which the Americans fear could turn into “mission creep,” as was the case with Somalia in the early 1990s. …source
