De
suïcide aanslag in het Syrische Manbij waarbij 2 militairen van de VS en 2 VS ‘burgers’ die samenwerken met het VS leger (ofwel
huursoldaten) omkwamen, was het sein voor de reguliere media in de VS
om hysterisch te gillen dat IS niet is verslagen en de VS moet
doorgaan met haar illegale oorlog in Syrië….. IS heeft inderdaad de
aanslag opgeëist, maar dat heeft IS intussen al zo vaak onterecht
gedaan, dat het maar de vraag is of deze aanslag inderdaad door deze
terreurorganisatie is uitgevoerd.
De
schrijver van het hieronder opgenomen artikel, Caitlin Johnstone
heeft zich goed pissig gemaakt over de reactie van de reguliere media
in de VS, terwijl deze reactie volledig voorspelbaar was en is….
Maakt verder niet uit, de meer dan belachelijke reacties van de verschillende
media-oorlogshitsers zijn het lezen meer dan de moeite waard.
Met het voorgaande geven de reguliere massamedia in de VS nog eens aan dat ze volkomen in de zak zitten van: -de oorlogshitsers in het Pentagon, -de geheime diensten van de VS, -de wapenfabrikanten (inclusief de fabrikanten van rollend, varend en vliegend oorlogstuig), -de NAVO en -de oliemaffia (de laatsten verdienen in tijden van oorlog ook fiks meer)….. Overigens ook banken, de farmaceutische maffia en aandeelhouders kunnen fikse winsten boeken door oorlogsvoering…. (zo verdiende Nederland zich scheel aan de raffinage van cocaïne tijdens WOI, waar Nederland alle legers die in Frankrijk vochten van deze drug voorzag….)

War
Whores Scramble to Say Syria Attack Means US Troops Must Remain

(CJ Opinion) — A
suicide bombing in Manbij, Syria has
reportedly killed 19 people including
four Americans, two of whom were US soldiers and two of whom worked
with the US military. ISIS, which has
an extensive history of
falsely claiming responsibility for attacks it had nothing to do
with, has
claimed responsibility
for the attack. Despite the fact that ISIS would claim responsibility
for a housewife stepping on a Lego block, and despite the complete
absence of evidence that it had anything to do with the deadly
explosion, all the usual cheerleaders of endless war are pointing to
the Manbij suicide bombing and shrieking “See?? Trump said ISIS is
defeated and it’s not!”
“ISIS
is still a very real threat here,” CNN international corespondent
Clarissa Ward told
Jake Tapper from
northern Syria. “And the real concern that we are hearing over and
over again on the ground, Jake, is that when US troops withdraw, a
power vacuum is created, and that only gives them more strength.”
Virulent
Syria war pundit Charles Lister, who is notorious for praising
Al Qaeda and
is a senior
fellow at
the Gulf
state-funded neoconservative
think tank Middle East Institute, told AFP that this attack
invalidates Donald Trump’s order last month to withdraw troops from
Syria.
“Trump’s
order was reckless and driven far more by domestic political concerns
than it was by facts on the ground,” Lister said, adding, “To
suggest ISIS is ‘defeated’ because it no longer controls
territory is to fundamentally misunderstand how ISIS and similar
organizations seek to operate.”
Former
John McCain ventriloquism dummy Lindsey Graham pounced like a rat on
a cheese doodle on the opportunity to call for continued US troop
presence within hours of the attack, interrupting the confirmation
hearing of Attorney General nominee William Barr with an ejaculation
about Trump’s Syria withdrawal.
(het hieronder weergegeven bericht bevat een video die ik niet kan overnemen, hier de link naar het origineel)
Senator @LindseyGrahamSC this morning spoke about the attacks on American service members in Manbij, Syria.
“I
would hope the President would look long and hard at where he’s
headed in Syria,” Graham said after repeating the baseless claim
that the attack was perpetrated by ISIS. “I know people are
frustrated, but we’re never going to be safe here unless we’re
willing to help people over there who will stand up against this
radical ideology.”
Not
to be left out when there are moronic war agendas to be sold, Fox
News leapt
into the fray with
a quote from an anonymous foreign diplomat saying “This attack
today is a direct result of the announcement made by President Trump
that U.S. forces are pulling out. These troops had a bullseye on them
when the president telegraphed that he was ordering a pullout.”
“ISIS
has already claimed responsibility for today’s suicide attack, a
reminder that the group is not defeated,” added Fox’s Jennifer
Griffin.
MSNBC’s
deranged intelligence analyst Malcolm Nance topped everyone as usual
with a babbling nonsensical post about how US troops were killed in
Manbij because there were no US troops in Manbij, proving that Assad
and Putin may have allowed the attack to happen, which proves Trump
is a Russian asset.
“The
moment Russia and Assad took over patrolling Manbij on Trumps go
ahead we get hit with suicide bombers for the first time. It’s
possible Russia/Assad let the attack happen. Trump’s treachery on
this matter now kills our special operators. #RussianAsset,”
Nance tweeted between
huffs of paint thinner.

Other
voices are treating the reports about the bombing with a little more
skepticism.
“If
ISIS were smart it would hold its fire especially against
Americans,” tweeted professor
and author Max Abrahms. “The main justification for leaving Syria
is the (contested) assessment ISIS is defeated. ISIS attacks convey
the opposite, weakening the strategic rationale of withdrawal while
making it politically harder.”
“Ok,
so Trump announces that the U.S. will begin a phased withdrawal from
Syria, which according to his critics, would only benefit ISIS who
they say is still operational and would welcome a U.S. pull out. But
not waiting for pull out ISIS then targets U.S. troops! Yeah
right,” tweeted former
Green Party vice presidential nominee Ajamu Baraka.
These
are interesting points. If ISIS is indeed responsible for the
bombing, as war pundits are unquestioningly asserting is the case,
then they’re either really, really stupid or they really want US
troops to remain in Syria. Or perhaps the attack was engineered by
someone else who has a vested interest in keeping a US military
presence in Syria, either using ISIS as a patsy or completely
separate from ISIS. Wouldn’t be the first time a suspicious attack
took place in Syria while the Trump administration was working to
withdraw troops.
Of
course, this whole debate ignores the most obvious point of all: that
if there was no US military presence in Syria, there would be no US
military personnel being killed in Syria. The fight against the
terrorist forces who nearly overtook the nation with the help of the
western power alliance’s imperialist support have been beaten to
the brink of total defeat not by the US, but by the Syrian government
and its allies. If US troops were removed Damascus would quickly
restore stability to the region and continue rebuilding the
war-ravaged nation. But this is precisely what these war whores do
not want.
Syria
is a strategically crucial geopolitical nation for reasons having to
do with natural resources and the power
dynamics of Israel, Iran, and
the empire-aligned Gulf states. It is not a coincidence that so much
energy gets poured into this small stretch of land and its
surrounding nations by the western military alliance and its
propaganda machine, and it’s unlikely that the global dominators
will lose interest in Syria any time soon. Stay skeptical.
