US Drones in Syria, Turkey accepts Mossad’s cooperation

‘If a dog fell into your well, would you remove the dog or empty the well? Once a red dog fell into Afghan well, the International community helped to get it out. Now, a white dog has fallen, what are they doing? They are emptying the well, one bucket at a time.’

By the time the reader fully understands the meaning of every word mentioned above, a melancholy spirit of distaste and pain is generated from within.

The story of Afghanistan after 1989 invasion of Soviet Union followed by American occupation can be rightly explained through the above words.

Interestingly, the same narration travels to Syria now.’The white dog has fallen into Syria’s well. What they are doing now, interestingly, is to increase the size of this well’

‘US drones in Syria: Legal or Illegal?’

The conspiracies and murky bets are turning true. America accepted that there are US drones flying over Syria. After the Iraq war by Bush Administration that worked on the principle of ‘ Either you are with us, or against us’, US is revealing its new colours. How can, one country, inspite of it being a super power, ever have the rightful access to another country’s air space?

Its amazing how the propaganda can be used. US states that its urgent to send drone attacks to Syria so that the real picture can be narrated to the international audience and hence, a stronger international response can be attained.In the terms of international diplomacy, US tends to find ‘intercepts of Syrian government and military communications.’ Well, who will take the blame/ or credit, if President Assad is assassinated in this attempt?

‘The failure of UN, again’

If that has to be the eventual end, I believe there is not point in having meetings of the UN security councils and even the vetoes. It turns out that all these highly acclaimed meetings are nothing but presentations put by paper tigers with no meaning, essence or even motif of sustenance.

‘Syria is not Pakistan’

Syria is not Pakistan that has sold itself under President Musharaff to US. It does not deserve the unmanned drone attacks. In fact, its Russia which has military base in Syria, unlike American bases in Pakistan.Osama bin Laden did not go to hiding in Syria after leaving Sudan. Al-Qaeda and Pathan Taleban are not in Syria. Hence, US knows that it can not use the usual message of ‘War on Terror’.

‘Stalin Versus Obama’

But to carry out the same odious execution, the name will be changed, wile the operation remains the same.

I wonder, whats the difference between US ( as a complete entity) and Stalin? They both are carrying out massive executions and using conspiracies to defend themselves.

‘Turkey’s role in Syria‘

Also, it has been revealed that the Turkey had been training the Free Syrian Army. 40 Turkish intelligence officials have been captured working along with the Syrian opposition. They also confessed that Mossad (The Israeli Intelligence) has been working with them. In fact, Mossad has also been working with the Al-qaeda operative in Jordan to slash out Syria.

One can find one common trail, or a pattern. In the case of Libya, US had relied on Al-Qaeda fighters who belonged to the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) to out Gadaffi. Undoubtedly, in the case of Syria, it is the Free Syrian Army that is being used in the similar manner.

‘Have revolutions failed?’

Perhaps Edmund Burke was right when he smirked at the French Revolution and stated that such occurrences are nothing but a facade. One can see the dwindling path of the uprising in Syria.

Well, someone rightly said, Reason and ignorance, opposites of each other, influence bulk of mankind. If either of these can be rendered sufficiently extensive in a country, the machinery of the government goes on.

But no one said, what happens, if both Assad and US start using the ‘ignorance’ and no reasoning, ever follows.

A letter to Gadaffi from US, UK and France, Gadaffi’s daughter answers back

Last week, Colonel Gaddafi had written a letter to President Obama, calling him his ‘son’ and asking him to stop bombing in Libya.

Well, I wonder why the letter was written to Obama and not Sarkozy, who has been playing a far more responsible role in the coalition air strikes.

In response, President Obama, David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy have written this opinion piece, politely asking Colonel Gadaffi to step down.

Few say, that this opinion piece is a propaganda to answer the international world that ‘these three countries’ still have unity. While, others believe, that its high time, when these three countries should speak, in unison.

Its unfortunate, how on one hand, out of the 28 countries that are present in NATO, only UK, Canada, Denmark, Belgium and Norway have been supporting the air strikes.

And suddenly, everyone is criticising NATO. As if, its the easiest task to do. The same happened when NATO targetted a rebel tank recently, by mistake.

No one is sitting down, trying to contemplate that the NATO pilots are exhausted, there is a need of precision fighters and ground attack aircrafts.

And as usual, the blame game continues.

But unfortunately, the political debate does not end within known territories.

What seems like an obvious show of power and rule, Colonel Gadaffi took a complete tour of Tripoli, in his open top car, wearing a black outfit. It seemed as if, he was openly showing the population that he is not afraid. And, he will never be.

Gadaffi’s daughter, Ayesha al-Gadaffi has reacted, quite ferociously, against this plea.

Standing infront a crowd cheering Colonel Gadaffi, in her home compound at Bal Al-Aziziyah, Ayesha demanded the western forces to ‘leave our skies’.

She narrated how in 1911, Italy had killed her grand father.

Now, in 2011, the Western Countries want to kill her father. She spoke for the children who are being targeted, the innocent civilains who are being butchered.

Interestingly, I have never read Ayesha, speaking anything for the death of rebels or the hundreds of innocent civilians who are hospitalised in Misrata and Tripoli.

To add further challenge, the rebels are now afraid of assembling in the protests. Mainly because, there are several pro-Gadaffi supporters, in the disguise of rebels, waiting to arrest the real ones.

What happens in Libya continues to be a matter of debate, uneasy wait and yes, a lot of manslaughter, for the time being.
