| Russia Today interviews James Goodale [Purp] »
May 30, 2013
As Calls For Direct US Involvement In Syria Increase, Reports Emerge John McCain Meets With Notorious Terrorist . Meanwhile, Russia Ups Support For AssadObama is asking for plans to create a No Fly Zone. McCain is visiting rebels. And op-eds on how easy this will all be are starting to appear (WSJ so you may have to Google it to get to the article). From retired General Jack Keane and Danielle Pletka, head of AEI's foreign and defense studies. It is the advisability question that is thornier, lending itself to more subjective analysis about the unknowns of a rebel victory and Assad's (as well as Iran's and Hezbollah's) reaction to an escalation. Here are the facts we do know: Right now, countless Syrian innocents are being murdered weekly. Chemical weapons are being used by the regime. Yes, certain factions among the rebels are affiliated with al Qaeda, but it is also true that their allegiance has cost them support among the Syrian civilian population in the months since it was announced. First off...dead Syrians and chemical weapons aren't of interest to me. That's a them problem, not an us problem. Second, I find it amusing how the influence of al Qaeda and other Islamists is just waived away. Not many and losing support we're told. Contrary to the sunny suggestion is the fact that almost everyone agrees it's the most Islamist units that are doing the heaviest and most effective fighting. But interviews and reviews of military actions in Syria show that Nusra remains a major contributor to rebel tactics. On Wednesday, Nusra participated in the capture of a Syrian army base in the northern province of Idlib. In past weeks, Nusra had played a role in the systematic destruction of army checkpoints along the highway that leads to the base. And after doing all this fighting and dying, these hardcore Islamist fighters are just going to...step aside and let the "moderate" and "secular" backup singers have control of the country? But I'm sure this time we'll pick "the right rebels" and won't wind up with anything like Benghazi. Or you know, not. The two suspected kidnappers — Mohamed Nour and Abu Ibrahim — in the photo with Mr. McCain are members of the Northern Storm militant group, who are believed to have planned and executed the abduction, the Daily Star said. No one thinks McCain condones kidnapping but it's a wonderful illustration of how easy it is to get caught up with the wrong crowd. If you going swimming in a cesspool, you're going to bump into a few turds. Sometimes you have to do business with undesirable but this is case where we really don't have to do business with any of them. The idea that unlike every other cesspool in that part of the world Syria is going to wind up with some sort of decent and reasonably pro-Western, hell, not anti-Western would be enough, government and society is to place hope above all experience. Hezballah wants to make Syria the hill they die on? Great, let's make that happen. Yes it will mean getting some weapons to unsavory types but the longer they are using it to kill Batthists and in turn are killed by the Batthists, that's the best the US can hope for. Extend the fighting as long as possible and watch all sides weaken themselves. Once they've bled themselves dry, we can talk about what comes next. Added: The "reset" with Russia created "flexibility" for them to tell Obama, STFU. Hmmm, just as the US starts talking about a "No fly zone" the Russians send advanced missiles to Syria.
