Obama
Extends Global Reach of US Special Operations Death Squads
By

November
29, 2016 “Information
Clearing House”
– “WSWS” (World Socialist Web Site) – In major actions reported only briefly by the establishment
press, President Obama has given vast new scope to the Pentagon’s
Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), authorizing it to carry out
assassinations across the globe.
The
units of JSOC have long been employed by the chiefs of the six major
regional military commands, such as Centcom, which covers the Middle
East and Central Asia, to conduct counter-terrorism operations. One
such unit, Seal Team Six, carried out the assassination of Al Qaeda
leader Osama bin Laden in May 2011.
Obama
has approved a proposal to give JSOC independent authority to operate
outside the regional commands, essentially as a globalized
assassination force. JSOC units will bypass the regional commanders
and report directly to Special Operations Command (SOCOM) in the
Pentagon.
According
to the Washington
Post,
“The missions could occur well beyond the battlefields of places
like Iraq, Syria and Libya, where Joint Special Operations Command
(JSOC) has carried out clandestine operations in the past. When
finalized, it will elevate JSOC from being a highly-valued strike
tool used by regional military commands to leading a new multi-agency
intelligence and action force.”
The
mandate of the new formation, to be called the “Counter-External
Operations Task Force,” or Ex-Ops in Pentagon jargon, will embrace
the entire planet. This means US military death squads could be sent
to virtually any location, from European cities to South American
jungles, including the United States itself.
According
to the Post,
a reorganization making counter-terrorism an independent, global
command has been discussed in the Pentagon for 15 years, since the
9/11 terrorist attacks, but it was always rejected on the grounds
that it would cause friction with the regional commanders and create
duplication in command structures.
The
newspaper did not address the question of why now, a
decade-and-a-half later, the Obama administration has decided to
press forward with the new global counter-terrorism initiative. The
decision is likely, at least in part, a response to the debacle of
the US “war on terror” from the standpoint of the global aims of
American imperialism.
The
US wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria and repeated drone
strikes in other countries, including Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia,
have inflicted catastrophic levels of death and destruction, but they
have not achieved the hoped-for hegemonic control of the region and
its vast energy resources. Obama’s decision represents a
determination to escalate US military violence in Central Asia, the
Middle East, North Africa and beyond.
Another
likely consideration is the possibility that the ongoing military
offensives against Islamic State territories in Syria and Iraq, and
particularly the siege of Mosul, could lead to thousands of ISIS
militants turning to terrorist attacks outside the Middle East.
Defense
Secretary Ashton Carter traveled to Paris last month with SOCOM
Commander Raymond Thomas for talks with security officials from
several European countries. A major topic was the impact on Europe of
a sudden weakening in the military position of ISIS in Iraq and
Syria. Carter told his European counterparts that JSOC “has been
put in the lead” of countering ISIS external operations, the first
mention of the impending Pentagon reorganization.
The Post report
sought to present the Obama-approved reorganization as an effort to
set limits on the operations of special forces under the incoming
Trump administration, including “approval by several agencies
before a drone strike and ‘near certainty’ that no civilians will
be killed guidelines.” But these restrictions are for cosmetic
purposes only and have not stopped the mass slaughter of civilians by
drone missile warfare.
Moreover,
Trump is not bound in any way by executive orders issued by Obama.
The fascistic president-elect has already made his intentions clear,
as far as US Special Forces operations are concerned. He has vowed to
order the killing of the wives and children of suspected ISIS
fighters, a war crime under the Geneva Conventions.
The
latest White House orders serve to facilitate these homicidal
intentions. Less than a month ago, Obama was campaigning against the
election of Trump, denouncing him as unfit to be commander-in-chief
and as a menace to the world. Now, as Foreign
Policymagazine
reported, Obama is “handing the incoming Trump team tools to wage
war that no president has held before.”
In
one particular theater of US counter-terrorism operations, Somalia,
Obama has taken additional action to escalate the carnage by
declaring the Islamist group al-Shabab to be part of the armed
conflict authorized by the US Congress in 2001 after the 9/11
attacks.
The
legal maneuver, reported Monday by the New
York Times,
demonstrates the infinitely expandable scope of the US-declared “war
on terror.” The Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF),
passed by Congress on September 14, 2001, approved military action
against Al Qaeda and associated forces, including the Taliban regime
in Afghanistan.
The
2001 AUMF has been interpreted by the Bush and Obama administrations
as a blanket authorization for military action wherever the president
claims to find a connection to Al Qaeda, no matter how tenuous.
Al-Shabab was not founded until 2007, six years after the 9/11
attacks, in response to the US-backed invasion of Somalia by
Ethiopian troops. It has never conducted operations outside of East
Africa.
The Times noted
that the Somalia decision was one of a series of Obama actions
expanding the military’s authority, including broadening the scope
of air strikes in Afghanistan and approving air strikes against
Sirte, the Libyan city held by supporters of ISIS. More than 400 air
strikes followed, pounding into rubble a city already devastated by
five years of civil war following the 2011 US-NATO bombing campaign.
The
preparations to reinforce the pseudo-legal basis of the war in
Somalia no doubt began well before the election, when Obama expected
to hand off authority to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
But it has continued uninterrupted after Trump’s victory, and as
the Times reported,
it is “a move that will strengthen President-elect Donald J.
Trump’s authority to combat thousands of Islamist fighters in the
chaotic Horn of Africa nation.”
Earlier
this month, the British-based Guardian reported
that “Barack Obama will not tighten the rules governing US drone
strikes ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration.” An Amnesty
International USA official, Naureen Shah, told the newspaper, “Obama
has normalized the idea that presidents get to have secret
large-scale killing programs at their disposal.”
These
events shed a new and sinister light over the reports of frequent
closed-door discussions between Obama and Trump during the three
weeks since the November 8 election. “They’ve been talking
regularly on any number of issues,” Trump campaign manager
Kellyanne Conway said on CNN’s “State of the Union” program
Sunday.
Obama
was at pains, in his first post-election statement, to dismiss the
bitter vituperation of the election campaign, declaring that the
electoral struggle between the Democrats and Republicans was merely
“an intramural scrimmage.” This is profoundly true: both parties
represent the same class, the American financial aristocracy, and its
global interests, defended in the final analysis by death and
destruction inflicted by the American military machine.

Zoals u kon lezen: het wachten is op de eerste illegale militaire psychopathische VS acties, middels een doodseskader, tegen burgers in de EU, ik wed, dat dit binnen een paar jaar zal gebeuren….. Sterker nog, de mogelijkheid bestaat dat dit al is gebeurd en/of momenteel plaatsvindt………
