  • Rand Paul: My colleagues just voted to arm the allies of al Qaeda

    Posted on by Azrael Comment

    Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) blasted members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Tuesday, which voted overwhelmingly to arm elements of the Syrian opposition in a bill co-sponsored by Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN). “This is an important moment,” Paul said, addressing his Senate colleagues. “You will be funding, today, the allies of al Qaeda. It’s an irony you cannot overcome.”

    The legislation, which would authorize the shipment of arms and military training to rebels “that have gone through a thorough vetting process,” passed in a bipartisan 15-3 vote. Paul offered an amendment that would strike the bill’s weapons provision, but it was rejected along with another Paul amendment ruling out the authorization of the use of military force in Syria. (Connecticut Democrat Chris Murphy was the only senator to join Paul in support of the weapons amendment.)

    Paul’s two amendments constituted his first legislative act to soften the Menendez-Corker bill, which earned the support of powerful lawmakers from Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) to Barbara Boxer (D-CA) to Marco Rubio (R-FL) — all of whom rejected Paul’s allegations.

  • Obama To Arm Al-Qaeda Terrorists In Syria

    Posted on by Azrael Comment

    President Barack Obama has signaled that he will green light the transfer of lethal weapons to FSA militants in Syria within weeks despite the fact that such groups are being led by Al-Qaeda terrorists responsible for killing U.S. troops in Iraq who have vowed to destroy America.

    “Obama is preparing to send lethal weaponry to the Syrian opposition and has taken steps to assert more aggressive U.S. leadership among allies and partners seeking the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad, according to senior administration officials,” reports the Washington Post.

    Although no final decision has been made on the weapons transfer, Obama is set to reach a verdict before a planned meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in June, during which he will attempt to convince Putin to abandon his support for Syrian leader Bashar Al-Assad.

    The White House is preparing to send heavy weaponry to groups that have committed numerous terrorist attacks over the last 18 months, including an incident this week where FSA rebels targeted a Russian airliner with 159 passengers on board with two ground-to-air missiles which exploded near to the civilian aircraft.

  • REPORT SHOWING THOUSANDS REDEPLOYED TO IRAQ, AMIDST U.S. PUSHING FOR WAR IN SYRIA

    Posted on by Azrael Comment

    When Americans thought the war in Iraq was over and U.S. troops were brought home, the heat only got turned up again. Reports from PressTV reveal that somewhere around 3,000 troops have re-deployed to Iraq, and even reveal that 17,000 more could be in route. The thousands already re-stationed in Iraq are apparently camped out at Balad military garrison or the al-Asad air base.

    PressTV explains, “Washington claims that the only US military presence left in Iraq now is 157 soldiers responsible for training at the US Embassy, as well as a small contingent of marines protecting the diplomatic mission.”

    Besides the role of U.S. troops, there are also many CIA operatives still working inside Iraq. (Remember that the embassy that was installed for the U.S. is worth $1 billion.)

    The redeployment would most likely come as a way to basket the spillage of violence coming from Syria as extremist groups move back and forth. This isn’t the first time sources have reported on redeployment in Iraq.

    SLN published in the beginning of October that hundreds of Army Special Operations Forces were moving back into the country, “Just last week in the fifteenth paragraph of a New York Times article was indication that Iraq’s condition is only crumbling. With the redeployment of an Army Special Operations force, there could be more on the way, according to the Times.” The move was made after violence consistently remained at a high inside the region.
