Smelly bullshit in Syria

Post by Mr. Oragahn » Thu Feb 23, 2012 12:00 am

After the revelation that the independent Arabian League report, which the same league tries to bury, depicted a situation in Syria which was literally the complete opposite of what was routinely repeated in mainstream media, another piece of turd has hit the fan. In the new affair, we learn about the true nature of the destabilization going on against Bashar al-Assad's regime:
Voltaire Network | 22 February 2012 wrote:
France’s secret war against the Syrian people

During the assault on the rebel stronghold in the district of Bab Amr in Homs, the Syrian army took more than 1,500 prisoners, mostly foreigners. Of these, a dozen French nationals requested the status of prisoner of war, refusing to give their identity, rank and unit of assignment. One of them is a Colonel working for the DGSE transmission service.

In arming the Wahhabi Legion and feeding it with satellite intelligence, France conducted a secret war against the Syrian army, which caused the death of more than 3,000 deaths among the military, and that of more than 1,500 civilians in ten months of fighting.

This information was partially revealed by Thierry Meyssan during an appearance on the top Russian TV channel, on Monday, 13 February 2012, then in an article published on Tuesday, the 14th, by Komsomolskaya Pravda and finally through a Voltaire Network TV video.

France has sought Russia’s assistance to negotiate with Syria the release of its prisoners of war.

Voltaire Network has found no evidence enabling it to confirm the allegations according to which 120 French nationals were taken prisoner in Zabadani. This rumor appears to be unfounded and, in any case, exaggerated.

However, Voltaire Network questions the articles by French special correspondents in Homs published in recent days: one week after the takeover of the rebel district, and with nothing but low intensity urban clashes left, these reporters persist in depicting a fictional revolution scenario, obscuring the truth from their readers, thus making it possible for Alain Juppé to negotiate in secret the return of the POW’s.

On 17 February, Nicolas Sarkozy and David Cameron signed a joint declaration, stating that "France and the United Kingdom wish to make it clear that those responsible for the violence in all parts of Syria should realize that the day will come when they will answer for their actions. France and the United Kingdom reiterate their determination to ensure that all the evidence of the crimes is duly collected so that those who ordered or committed atrocities can be held accountable. "

In the absence of an obligation stipulated in the relevant treaties, the secret war led by President Sarkozy and his government constitutes an unprecedented act under the Fifth Republic. It violates Article 35 of the Constitution and amounts to a crime punishable by the High Court (Article 68).
Geez.
That must be embarrassing for a whole range of reasons. This is also extremely grave, and helps in the understanding of who is really stirring trouble in that region.
