Syrian rebels attempt to force Obama info ousting Assad
September 7, 2013 - 19:06 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Syrian rebels seem to have become wearied of waiting
for Assad forces to be bombed and decided to use a well-proved
`weapon' - accusation of using chemical agents.
According to some sources of the so-called Syrian opposition, the
Assad forces used poisonous shells while attacking rebel positions in
Damascus suburb of Al Kabune. To prove their claim, the rebels cite a
video featuring a person being examined by doctors after having been
poisoned by some agent. No official response followed the statement.
Earlier, Al Arabiya TV channel reported the deaths of 56 over the past
day, which, however, were unconnected to the use of chemical weapon.
Looks like Syrian rebels will stop at noting in forcing Obama to oust
Assad, although the U.S. is planning no such step. As Obama repeatedly
stated, the strike aims at punishing, rather that ousting Assad.
However, the militants, unsatisfied with such an outcome, continue
spreading deliberately false reports, in full knowledge that the media
will be thriving on another report of `murdering of peaceful
population.' No one seems to care about the fact that the militants
have more than enough blood on their hands - Assad is the only `source
of evil' in the world and he needs to be punished.
Unfortunately, logic does not seem to be either the rebels, or the
U.S. president's forte. Why poison one's people with gas when
government forces are gaining ground against rebels? And it's utterly
unclear why Obama chose this method to make Iran and South Korea
(which the U.S. believes to be guilty of developing their own nuke
programs) `see reason.'
Somehow, Pakistan and Israel are allowed to have nuclear weapons, yet
the countries of `evil' are not. And what further defies understanding
is that the Christians, whose fellow believers are being killed and
tortured, are the ones to write about Assad's `atrocities.' However,
the misfortunes of the Near East Christians remain unheeded these
days, with rare articles being published. In September, only one
serious article was released in The American Conservative.
`So here is the nightmare. If the U.S., France, and some miscellaneous
allies strike at the regime, they could conceivably so weaken it that
it would collapse. Out of the ruins would emerge a radically
anti-Western regime, which would kill or expel several million
Christians and Alawites. This would be a political, religious, and
humanitarian catastrophe unparalleled since the Armenian genocide
almost exactly a century ago,' Philip Jenkins said in his article
Syria's Christians Risk Eradication.
`Around the world, scholars and intellectual leaders are debating how
to commemorate the approaching centennial of that cataclysm in 2015.
Through its utter lack of historical awareness, the United States
government may be pushing towards not a commemoration of the genocide
but a faithful re-enactment,' the author said.
In his weekly address to the nation, Obama reiterated that the Syria
strike aims to protect the U.S. interests in preventing Syria crisis
from turning into another Iraq or Afghanistan. Yet every one of the
U.S. President's steps is proving the opposite.
