Kosovo is a nacro state run by criminal elements implicated in drug trafficking since its "liberation" in 1999.....overseen by NATO/USA forces.....as a staging post for Pentagon/CIA drugs into Europe.
Afghanistan is a nacro state run by criminal elements implicated in drug production since its liberation in 2001.....overseen by NATO/USA forces.....as a staging post for
Pentagon/CIA drugs into the world, including North America.
If Syria is conquered by NATO/USA this will be the outcome for the country, as well as repeated Gaza like incursions by Israel against a militarily wreak Syria, run by "al-CIA-duh".
There can be no surrender or compromise with the forces of darkness, criminality, medieval backwardness, and the proxy forces of the CIA/Pentagon.

Implementing Afghanistan, Kosovo Models For Syria

In a feature entitled The ‘Kosovo Road’ to Syria in The Gulf Today, a website based in the United Arab Emirates, author Hichem Karoui succeeded in identifying the template being employed by the U.S. to effect the overthrow of the Syrian government through the time-tested combination of supporting armed insurgents on the ground while plotting a concomitant air war.
The two go
hand-in-hand and the first is the necessary precondition for
implementing the other.
The writer
also detailed the precise models being used: Those in
Afghanistan from 1978-1992 and in the Serbian province of Kosovo
in 1999.
Karoui
toed the line of his state’s government, that of Qatar, which is
arming and in other manners assisting the so-called Free Syrian
Army in its armed uprising against the Syrian government, in no
way questioning the basic assumption of Gulf states elites and
their Western allies that President Bashar Assad must be forced
out of office and be replaced by a regime supported by the Gulf
monarchies and NATO powers.
However,
he let several important cats out of the bag in his brief
feature.
For
example, he mentioned meeting with Burhan Ghalioun, until June
10 the president of the opposition Syrian National Council, in
the Qatari capital Doha a few days earlier. Karoui asked
Ghalioun, a professor of sociology at the Sorbonne in Paris,
“whether it is true that there is a scenario resembling the
fight against the Soviets in Afghanistan: funds from the Arabs,
and weapons from the USA and its allies for the forces resisting
Assad and his Russian allies?”
His
interlocutor responded with an evasive and in fact non sequitur
statement, but the question was sufficient on its own merits as
it contained within itself the only possible answer: The U.S.
and its chief allies in the Arab world, the hereditary leaders
of the Gulf Cooperation Council (Qatar, the United Arab
Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman) are
replicating the joint strategy used against the government of
Afghanistan and its Soviet allies in the last quarter of the
20th century.
The Gulf
monarchies, sheikhdoms and emirates are supplying the funds as
well as many of the arms and recruiting foreign religious
extremists as fighters; the U.S. and its NATO allies are
preparing to arm anti-government forces with more advanced
weaponry and train and advise them with Western special forces
personnel.
As
Pakistan was used as the base of operations for attacks inside
Afghanistan from the late 1970s to the early 1990s, so now
Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq are used for the same purpose
vis-a-vis Syria.
Now that
the term civil war has been used by Western and United Nations
officials, a threshold has been crossed wherein the U.S. and
NATO can claim to be intervening in an armed conflict between
warring parties as it did in Bosnia in 1995 and in Kosovo in
1999. As an alleged disinterested third party, even as a
“peacekeeping” force.
In fact,
the author also stated:
“We have
seen cases where wars and regime change are conducted as
undercover operations, sometimes with the full knowledge of
powerful Congressmen. This may happen again, not to mention the
Kosovo crisis when Nato launched a military intervention against
Russia’s strongest objections…”
He
recalled that former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Bill
Richardson recently asserted that Washington should openly enter
the fray in Syria and that NATO should consider arming and
training the rebels, citing the discredited canard of Russia
supplying the government with attack helicopters as the impetus
to do so.
Richardson
told Fox News’ Juan Williams, “If the Russians get in there, and
there’s evidence of that, I think that would be the defining
step to move forward with arming the rebels.”
Karoui
also reminded his readers that the U.S. Senate’s roving
war-inciting trio of John McCain, Joseph Lieberman and Lindsey
Graham visited the border of Turkey and Syria in April and met
with the Free Syrian Army’s General Mustafa al-Sheikh and
Colonel Riad al-Asaad (the ranks they formerly held in the
Syrian armed forces), with McCain issuing the following alarmist
and inflammatory comment:
“Make no
mistake. The situation in Syria is an armed conflict. This is a
war…”
The
disinformation concerning Russian helicopters, first voiced by
Secretary of State Hillary on June 12 and immediately parroted
by State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland (an American
ambassador to NATO in the George W. Bush administration), also
serves as the pretext for the U.S. and NATO to push for the
enforcement of a no-fly zone and the provision of ground-to-air
missiles to the Free Syrian Army, reminiscent of Washington
supplying Stinger missiles to the Pakistan-based Afghan
mujahidin in the 1980s.
Whether or
not American government officials pretend to believe their casus
belli, that Russian helicopter gunships necessitate direct
involvement in the name of protecting civilians, supplying the
means to shoot them down is an additional provocation toward
Russia, already at loggerheads with the U.S. over the latter’s
interceptor missile system deployments on and near its western
and southern borders.
The
implementation of a no-fly zone over parts or the entirety of
Syria by the U.S. and its NATO allies and Gulf partners would
have to occur without a United Nations mandate, as any effort to
authorize it in the Security Council would be blocked by Russia
and China. Hence the reference to the 1999 Kosovo precedent. A
more recent example exists as well. Last year the U.S., NATO and
its Gulf partners Qatar and the United Arab Emirates exploited
language contained in UN Resolution 1973 “to establish a ban on
all flights in the airspace of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya in
order to help protect civilians” to wage an unrelenting
six-month air war against the government of the country with
over 26,000 air missions and almost 10,000 strike sorties in
addition to as many as 150 cruise missile attacks.
The Kosovo
model pertains to another component of Western plots against
Syria. In late April Syrian opposition figures led by Ammar
Abdulhamid, who has lived in Washington, D.C. since 2005 and is
a former visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution, left the
American capital for the capital of Kosovo, Pristina, where they
consulted with former members of the so-called Kosovo Liberation
Army on whose behalf the U.S. and NATO bombed the former Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia for 78 days in 1999.
Abdulhamid
told the Associated Press:
“We are
here to learn. Kosovo has gone through an experience that I
think will be very useful to us in terms of how the different
armed groups that formed the KLA (Kosovo Liberation Army)
organized themselves.”
That he
and his fellow anti-government leaders made such a trip with so
explicit a purpose without the express consent of – without the
visit being arranged by – the White House and State Department
is inconceivable.
The
pattern of Washington working in unison with multinational,
cross-border armed extremists – with, if the word has any
meaning, terrorists – has now been revealed as a global
phenomenon.
While
working with the Afghan mujahidin operating from within Pakistan
30 years ago, the U.S. and its Arab allies particularly favored
what were arguably the two most ruthless leaders, Gulbuddin
Hekmatyar and Jalaluddin Haqqani, whose respective groups – the
Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin and the Haqqani network – are currently
fighting against their erstwhile American paymasters and arms
suppliers. In fact the above organizations represent two-thirds
of the groups the U.S. and NATO state they are waging the over
decade-long war in Afghanistan against.
The
Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency also assisted
foreign, primarily Arab, fighters in Pakistan engaged in the
earlier Afghan war, including Osama bin Laden and his Maktab
al-Khidamat
as well as a Libyan named Abdelhakim Belhadj. The latter
followed the traditional route through Saudi Arabia to Pakistan
for the U.S. proxy war with the former Soviet Union in
Afghanistan.
Later he
returned to his homeland where he founded the Libyan Islamic
Fighting Group of which he was the designated emir.
During
last year’s air war against Libya conducted by the U.S. and
NATO, Belhadj was the chief military commander of the
Western-supported rebels and until recently the commander of the
Tripoli Military Council.
Last
November the Arabic-language press reported that 600 Libyan
fighters formerly under his command entered through Turkey to
Syria to fight against the government.
The U.S.
continues to employ the services of Saudi-backed armed Wahhabi
extremists as it did in South Asia starting over 30 years ago.
Today the target is Syria. Tomorrow it will be another nation
whose government is marked by Washington for regime change.
In most
cosmogonies order emerges from chaos. The U.S. and its allies
are frantically attempting to reverse the causality.
