What Just Happened in Syria?

Michael Totten;

Last week, after the White House announced its support for Syrian rebels was finished, the United States said it dropped 50 tons of ammunition from the air into Syria, ostensibly for unnamed Arab groups fighting ISIS. That, supposedly, was the last assistance those people were going to get.
A few days later, various anti-ISIS Syrian Arabs issued a collective, huh?

  1. Interesting, Obama and Shiny Pony withdraw from Syria in unison helping Vlad. Welcome to Canada’s new made-in-Moscow via Obama White House foreign policy. Nobody moves until Vlad says it’s o.k.

  2. Those two may have jumped in with more gas for the fire, but what really starts everything in the middles east is the insanity of Arabs and Persians and their obsession with the book of insanity called the koran. It is islam that is behind all the shit in the middle east, not the Mormons, or the Catholics, or the gays or the hispanics or negroes or liberals or conservatives … …. it’s the muslims! THEY ARE ALL FN NUTS!

  3. If Obama had kept his nose out of Syria, Assad would have crushed the rebellion in 2011 and Syria wouldn’t be how it is.
    Additionally, Russian forces wouldn’t be in action there today.
    “Putin and Assad created this mess.”
    Obama created this mess. Unlike the U.S., Russia generally stands by it’s clients and allies.
    To expect Russia to give up it’s naval base in Tarus Syria was/is unrealistic.

  4. More and more every day I expect to see evidence that the German love of marching in step will come back big.
    The more the Turks act up and wreck the place, the faster this will probably happen.
    Please note I do not view this as a good thing. It never has been before, after all. But Liberals can’t be expected to know this, for them history starts new every morning.

    “Putin and Assad created this mess”
    No, Obamba and the EU created this mess with the “Arab Spring” – Putin is putting and end to it.
    First Putin needs to destroy the so-called “rebels” that currently surround Assad. Once accomplished he will use a strengthened and unhindered Assad to combat advancing ISIS forces. Strategy 101.

  6. Read Shoebat too:
    “Ever wonder why the U.S. could not defeat ISIS? It was not ISIS’s invincibility, ISIS was defeated by women at the Battle of Kobani. It is because ISIS is needed to stay alive and well per U.S. political plans and now new evidence reveals that the U.S. was making mock attacks that was not targeting ISIS.”
    http://shoebat.com/2015/10/17/new-evidence-reveals-putin-is-destroying-isis-while-obama-is-helping-isis/
    and this:
    “Yousaf al Salafi – allegedly the Pakistan commander of Islamic State (IS) or Daish – has confessed during investigations that he has been receiving funds through the United States.
    Law enforcing agencies on January 22 claimed that they arrested al Salafi, along with his two companions, during a joint raid in Lahore. However, sources revealed that al Salafi was actually arrested sometimes in December last year and it was only disclosed on January 22.
    “During the investigations, Yousaf al Salafi revealed that he was getting funding – routed through America – to run the organisation in Pakistan and recruit young people to fight in Syria,” a source privy to the investigations revealed to Daily Express on the condition of anonymity.”

  7. We all know that the asshole obama caused all of this death and destruction, Libya, Syria, Egypt, Israel, Russians in Ukraine, Iranians with nuclear weapons.
    Arab Springy, etc. etc.
    But I really do not want to send in Canadian, American forces to support a clusterfuc) that Obaba started.
    Any of you want to go off and die for that son of a bitch?
    Not a single American or Canadian should have to suffer for this stupidity..
    I love the Kurds and supported them during the Saddam purges,
    Then we do what we always do, go off and left them in a hell hole.
    But they have fought and conquered, and the Turks are afraid of them.
    An entire country is afraid of a tribe,
    Arab Native Ass Kickers.
    We should keep giving them all the help they need.

  8. “We should keep giving them all the help they need.”
    We should be getting ready to fight them on Canadian soil.
    Prime Minister Zoolander plans to import them.

  9. “Obama largely did after he nearly blundered his way in.”
    Obama has been arming the rebellion. There wouldn’t be a civil war today if Obama hadn’t armed the rebels. War is very expensive and destructive. In order to fight the Syrian Armed Forces, someone has been arming and supplying the rebellion with food, medicine, and equipment in addition to armaments.
    That someone is Obama.

  10. UnoMe >
    What I don’t understand is why supporting the murder of tens of thousands of “little brown people” benefits you people?
    It is well documented that Syrian’s whether Christian, Muslim, or Jewish were living quite comfortably with each other until you people decided to support murdering them and destroying the multicultural, multi-faith country that Syria once was. That’s bloody shameful, and a clear sign of what our mentally ill Liberal “Progressive” society has become.

    “Anyone who thinks that Obama and the EU created the Arab Spring is a moron.”
    The only moron is someone with a reading comprehension issues, yet blathers on anyway.
    “Obamba and the EU created this mess with the “Arab Spring”” – K99
    Does that statement say “Created the Arab Spring” or does it say “Created this mess with the Arab Spring”? Yea thought so.
    ISIS would not exist as the fighting force it is today without the withdrawal of troops from Iraq and the OVERTHROW by US/EU forces of Gadhafi in Libya – The vacuum created and the availability of arms for ISIS made the entire NA/ME slaughter that we see today possible.
    In fact – It was predicted and argued about across the globe in 2011, nowhere more so than right here on SDA!
    Those of you that supported Obamba’s “Arab Spring” have this blood today on YOUR hands. Enjoy, but please understand if we could give a flying f*ck as to your opinion on the matter now, yes?

  12. Oz and Knight99 have it right. I got to study the Middle East up close and personal when I was in uniform (ie. Gulf War). My call from the start was to back Assad; he was a b@stard but a much better b@stard than the alternatives – and he kept the lid on Islamic extremists to the benefit of Christians, Yazidis, etc.
    Obama picking the wrong side, as usual, and pulling out of Iraq created further chaos. Too bad our PM in waiting wants to bring 25,000 unscreened “refugees” into our home and native land. If one per cent are radicals, we will have 250 terrorists on our soil.

  13. “FBI Director Admits US Can’t Vet All Syrian Refugees For Terror Ties”
    Nice admission, Cap’n obvious. I might have guessed that from your inability to determine which Afghan soldiers/Iraqi soldiers/Libyan Rebels/Syrian Rebels etc. etc. etc. you couldn’t vet, but still trained and supplied.
    Yet (unexpectedly to you) turned out to be terrorists.
    That said, when is Obama going to be properly vetted?

  14. Never mind what is happening in Syria look at the link left by Shaken in the readers tips below
    https://youtu.be/NG0WcjGHkEw
    and then follow up with the full Monkton interview in Australia last year. All of the trolls here and a lot of Canadians have proven that Lizzie May was right when she called Canadians stupid. Fortunately we have not all fallen for the BS of climate warming and most readers here didn’t fall for the “Halo” boy with the “Pepsodent” smile, and I think I’m safe in assuming that we’ve invested in heavy metals!

  15. We should be getting ready to fight them on Canadian soil.
    ** Kurds?
    Prime Minister Zoolander plans to import them.

    They want their own land back from the Turks and Syrians, and are willing to fight and die to stay there.

    Syria’s Kurds have expanded their semi-autonomous region in northern Syria, announcing Wednesday a new administration in a majority Sunni-Arab town they seized from the Islamic State group this summer.
    Kurds, Always kicking ass and taking names…

  16. unfortunately I have to agree with you. Shiney pony wants us to be just like sweden and germany!

  17. “They want their own land back from the Turks and Syrians, and are willing to fight and die to stay there.”
    Oh, so the Kurds are staying there and yet Zoolander is bringing them here. Sure.
    Just maybe, …I meant the Muslim refugees that the western Left is wetting their collective pants over.
    My bad if you were only talking narrowly about Kurds in the Middle East.
    Whichever way, I’ll be saving my resources to fight the new “refugees” that become a problem here instead of wasting resources on the Kurds who, if they have “announced Wednesday a new administration in a majority Sunni-Arab town they seized from the Islamic State group this summer” won’t last long against the Turks who will not allow them to form an autonomous state in Syria, Northern Iraq, or anywhere else near Turkey.

  18. My take on the Shiney Pony is that he will give our sovereignty away to the globalists at the UN — that will include signing us up for some draconian climate change agenda once the Paris talks are underway. Canadians have been very, very foolish — the globalist`s viscous propaganda against Stephen Harper has been very effective in manipulating the Canadian public.

  19. US foreign policy created this mess and US foreign policy predates Obama.
    I totally agree that Obama was just pretending to fight ISIS, since US foreign policy has always resulted in making things worse no matter where they’ve stuck their noses in ever since the Korean War.

  20. Bush created this mess, he should have turned east after Bagdad fell, and taken care of Tehran, and then Syria. Butt in here Bush is a favorite son, so lets not be too hard on him, he was after all, “doing god’s work”!!!!

  21. Excuse me? There will be NO Kurds imported to Canada. Our partisan, marxist snivel serpents will weed them out at the gate. By imperial decree. All others welcome. We’ll feed & house them, fix their genetic disorders, bring in their extended tribe & give ’em a pension, then allow them to slip over the US border to help Obumbles with his 3rd term. Well, his close proxy anyways. Got it yet? How far to the US border from Tranna? I’m sure you’ve driven it lots.
    US interests helped get this cretin elected. He’s Obumble’s bumboy & he’s gonna find that out real quick.
    Enjoy The Decline.

  22. Actually, NME666, we’re not all Bush supporters. Going into Iraq to take out Saddam was the same stupid mistake as taking out Qaddafi and trying to unseat Assad. It is preferable to have a b@stard with absolute power over a small, carefully defined region than it is to give the lunatics free rein over a whole region – or the world.

  23. Aviator, well said, both times, as were the comments of Oz and Knight.
    The Kurds as a group are not interested in coming here but in establishing a state of their own. They have the population to be successful as a nation, but unfortunately this population is spread around Turkey, Syria, and Iraq.

  24. “The sooner Assad and Putin end this mess, the better off everyone will be.”
    Yes I am sure the sooner Hezbollah can get some new shiny weapons that Pootin transfered to Assad, the sooner they get back to their usual business of killing Jooos and Christians the better. Funny thing I thought Hazzbollah’s favorite sugar daddy Assad was bad guy, but no he appears to be an instant good guy. I am sure when he wins everyone will be double plus happy. Especially the Israelis and Lebanese.
    The fact is, the more they kill each other in Syria the better. They will be killing each other somewhere, may as well be there. ISIS and Hezbollah/Assad are worth each other. Neither is better.

  25. “It is preferable to have a b@stard with absolute power over a small, carefully defined region”
    Absolutely correct! Saddam, Qadaffi and Assad … merciless thugs no doubt but they had a far better understanding of what it takes to keep the crazies under control. They knew full well that they had to keep their boots on the throats of the lunatics or chaos would ensue in very short order.
    What would be your preference? A few cold-hearted and sadistic guards using brute force to keep the inmates of an asylum under control or no guards at all with the gates wide open? Although option 1 isn’t perfect it sure beats the hell out of option 2.

  26. “It is preferable to have a b@stard with absolute power over a small, carefully defined region than it is to give the lunatics free rein over a whole region…”
    True, if what you want is a stable business environment and predictable trading partners.
    If on the other hand you want to de-populate an entire region, then stroll in and steal everything after they’re all dead… then lunatics are just the ticket.
    I keep telling everybody that Mooslimbs are suckers and fall guys for the real enemy. Nobody ever listens and it’s starting to piss me off. There’s never been a terrorist incident yet that couldn’t have been stopped cold by a single teenaged girl with a pistol and some cojones. They are a pack of useless wankers being used as cannon fodder by the Left.
    The problem we have with Leftists is we keep thinking they don’t mean to do what they say they will. They’re going to flood Canada with reliable Liberal voters. They’re going to use the inevitable resulting terrorism to justify a police state that would make Stalin blush. They’re going to do it RIGHT NOW, in front of your face.

  27. “There’s never been a terrorist incident yet that couldn’t have been stopped cold by a single teenaged girl with a pistol and some cojones.”
    Boston Marathon Bombing, D.C. Beltway Snipers, 1993 World Trade Center bombing, 2001 World Trade Center Attack…just off the top of my head.

  28. Bombing of USS Cole, bombing of embassies in Kenya and Tanzania,
    Oklahoma federal building, Beirut bombing, Kenya shopping mall attack, Bali and many many more…

  29. Yeah the UN(Uselss Nincompoops)were all suppost to end all wars and have the various nations solve their problems peacefuly Looks like the Un is more vulture then dove and they harbor and support terrorists including the late Yassir(Thats My Baby)Arafat and Nelson Mandela
