Another post, this one from Sott.net, by Stephen Lendman, which tells the truth about the West inciting trouble in Syria and blaming it on the existing government led by President al-Assad.

This is the 8th post on Syria. Why am I pushing this topic?  Because it is happening right now, it is clearly an injustice, the awakening of this truth may influence the other like illegal, unjustified threatening advances on Iran.

Iran is a little different in that “nuclear capability” is an added excuse to attack them, which in turn purportedly justifies a full scale attack. Nevertheless, the real issue is to take control of the country, just as has happened elsewhere in the Middle East.

Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and now Syria had peace and calm until Washington intervened belligerently.

Strategies and tactics vary. Objectives are consistent. They involve replacing independent regimes with pro-Western ones by any means, including war.

Three unwinnable ones rage. Nonetheless, Obama plans more. Syria’s target one. For the past year, US-instigated violence ravaged parts of the country. Thousands have been killed, many others injured.

Syria’s gripped by fear. Heavily armed killer gangs rage out of control, and direct foreign intervention looms. More on that below.

Assad’s wrongly blamed. The blame game targets victims, not villains. As a result, ongoing conflict continues.

February 26 was potentially historic. Syrians overwhelmingly approved constitutional reform. Only the fullness of time will tell if promised change, in fact, happens. Western intervention may prevent it.

After 90% of Syrians supported draft constitutional changes, Assad issued decree No. 94 officially approving it, effective February 27.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry said referendum results show Syrians support him. Moscow called on all sides to concur, stop violence, and engage in dialogue with no preconditions.

On February 27, in an article titled “Russia and the Changing World,” Vladimir Putin noted similarities between Syria and Libya. He warned against foreign intervention.

He called Arab Spring changes replacement of one force for another. In other words, everything changed by staying the same, and in countries like Egypt, got worse. He said “Moscow won’t allow anyone to repeat the Libyan scenario in Syria.”

Washington’s hell bent on initiating it. Obama asked international leaders to protect Syrians from “abhorrent” (US instigated) violence. Calling for regime change, he said “Assad(‘s rule) must come to an end.”

Russian and Chinese Security Council vetoes thwarted his UN strategy. Hillary Clinton called doing so “despicable.” She represents the worst of US lawlessness. Shamelessly attacking Russia and China shows how low America has sunk.

Security Council passage assured replicating Libyan style intervention. As a result, Obama plans circumventing UN Charter authority entirely.

Throughout the conflict, Washington’s been involved in arming insurgent killer gangs. Congressional hawks call openly for doing it.
