Why Syria?

[JackLuis]

I had been wondering what anyone gave a shit about Syria, other that the Zionists.

Assad’s Death Warrant

“Secret cables and reports by the U.S., Saudi and Israeli intelligence agencies indicate that the moment Assad rejected the Qatari pipeline, military and intelligence planners quickly arrived at the consensus that fomenting a Sunni uprising in Syria to overthrow the uncooperative Bashar Assad was a feasible path to achieving the shared objective of completing the Qatar/Turkey gas link. In 2009, according to WikiLeaks, soon after Bashar Assad rejected the Qatar pipeline, the CIA began funding opposition groups in Syria.”

— Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Why the Arabs don’t want us in Syria, Politico

But the United States is not doing the right thing in Syria. Arming, training and funding Islamic extremists — that have killed half a million people, displaced 7 million more and turned the country into an uninhabitable wastelands –is not the right thing. It is the wrong thing, the immoral thing. And the US is involved in this conflict for all the wrong reasons, the foremost of which is gas. The US wants to install a puppet regime in Damascus so it can secure pipeline corridors in the East, oversee the transport of vital energy reserves from Qatar to the EU, and make sure that those reserves continue to be denominated in US Dollars that are recycled into US Treasuries and US financial assets. This is the basic recipe for maintaining US dominance in the Middle East and for extending America’s imperial grip on global power into the future.

Petro Dollars! Odd isn't it that simply objecting to the piping of gas thru Syria could cause the USA to foment a rioting of unsavory elements within the cauldron of the Middle East. No wonder Hillary is on board?

Well, that explanation actually makes sense. Corridor for a gas pipeline from Qatar to Europe. Not that I agree with meddling in the Middle East, but it sounds plausible.

There is no such thing as petro-dollars.

 

[Hard_Rom]

Why pick on Hillary? Any US politician would be on board. Hell, Trump would quickly go out and get a bit of insider trading done on hearing such plans. Banana plantations or oil. Central America or Middle East. Plus ce chance, plus c'est le meme chose.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar-Turkey_pipeline

In 2012 an analyst cited by Ansa Mediterranean suggested that Qatar's involvement in the Syrian civil war was based in part on its desire to build a pipeline to Turkey through Syria:

"The discovery in 2009 of a new gas field near Israel, Lebanon, Cyprus, and Syria opened new possibilities to bypass the Saudi Barrier and to secure a new source of income. Pipelines are in place already in Turkey to receive the gas. Only Al-Assad is in the way. Qatar along with the Turks would like to remove Al-Assad and install the Syrian chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood. It is the best organized political movement in the chaotic society and can block Saudi Arabia's efforts to install a more fanatical Wahhabi based regime. Once the Brotherhood is in power, the Emir's broad connections with Brotherhood groups throughout the region should make it easy for him to find a friendly ear and an open hand in Damascus."

*also*

Syria's rationale for rejecting the Qatar proposal was said to be "to protect the interests of [its] Russian ally, which is Europe's top supplier of natural gas."

*explains why Russia is now in Syria*

*it's never about human rights and democracy if there is a buck to be made*

*so when Canada pulls out of the combat role in Syria we are trying to do our bit to try get Europe to buy Canadian natural gas*

It might, if there wasn't plenty of pipelines already.

Never have too many pipelines.

Never have too many pipelines.

It doesn't matter if a pipeline is short or long, it will put out the same amount of stuff. The only advantage of a short pipeline is lower costs of construction and maintenance, and those costs drop dramatically when you steer around a war zone.

War won't go on for ever. And having to spend less on construction and maintenance is akin to biblical dogma for megacorps.

It's always about money.

FU dude....Syria wasnt a threat to Israel, no reason to destory their country. Gotta blame Iran, num-nut.

Unless (D), because they are all above the money.

Who mentioned Israel?

And Iran cut a deal to pipe it's gas thru Syria, so they didn't start a Sunni war.

My bet is on the fact that Syria wanted to sell gas in Euros to the Europeans and Uncle Sugar needs to keep Perto-dallars in Dollars.

 

[underguy1]

There is no such thing as petro-dollars.

And 'Israel' is heavily invested in destroying Syria. The zionist colonialists occupy part of Syria to this day.

 

[underguy1]

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said, “every time the Syrian state makes tangible progress either on the ground or towards national reconciliation, anti-Syrian states increase their support of terrorist organisations … the latest example of this is the flagrant American aggression on one of the Syrian army’s positions in Deir Ezzor to the benefit of Daesh [ISIS]”.

When you say Zionists, we get the picture....

They took the Golan because Israel was attacked by Syria. Spoils of war and all that......

I didn't say Zionists. But Hillary may not be a Zionist, but she sure likes Bibbi. He's like her, a war monger.

No buddy, your childish hasbara isn't going to work.

Israel attacked Egypt, Jordan and Syria. Do you think I was born yesterday?

There is no such concept as 'spoils of war' in international law. Israel illegally occupies the Golan.

Yeah great come back, Einstein.

Hillary's a war monger? Cite your sources.

It's like dealing with a bunch of high school kids around here sometimes.

When are you going to start thinking and arguing for yourselves?

Or are you just going to spend you lives trading other people's opinions as your own thoughts?

 

[JackLuis]

Hillary's a war monger? Cite your sources.

1, Her support for Cheney's "Operation Iraqi Liberation," later called 'Iraqi Freedom'.

2. Her support for the French and Italian's conquest of Libya.

3. Her support for the arming the Syrian mobs.

4. Her general statements about Regime Change and;

5. Her general bellicose nature evidenced by her past history of the last ~15 years.
