Meanwhile, In Syria

[gadgetmac]

It’s simple stuff really.

Have the OPCW confirmed that the attack on Douma was:

1) With the use of Chlorine gas

2) carried out by Govt forces

Yes or No?

It is simple yes....

We aren't discussing Douma at the minute.

And judging how long it took for the February attack to be confirmed, we're looking at July before we hear about Douma.

The results are already decidied. That guy in his house in Covenrtry has said it was all Assad. Seems legit.

Several reports now that ISIS in Yarmouk (the Palestinian camp) have surrendered, and Syria has Damascus back.

I wonder what our government's source (note: singular) says?

Create a narrative to fit your objective

Act on it.

It's nothing new. Go back to WWII, Gulf war etc.


All fitted up

"Destroy Syria to help Israel" was Obama/Clinton policy. Everything else was excuses.

From the Spectator....


“Amid the confusion and the almost deafening cries of treachery and collusion over Donald Trump’s relations with Russia, few noticed the most tangible outcome of this week’s Helsinki summit. In the lead-up to his face-to-face talk with Vladimir Putin, senior US and Russian diplomats — in close coordination with leaders from mutual ally Israel — brokered a deal among all the warring parties (bar the Islamist terrorists) finally to end the devastating seven-year Syrian civil war. As is often the case with Trump, the hype tends to drown out the message but it was there for anyone paying close enough attention. The US, Russians and Israelis have agreed on a solution to Syria. His name is Bashar al-Assad.”

That link is broken for me, but that is good news if true.

We (meaning Israel) may even be withdrawing the White Helmets:

"#BREAKING - #Israeli military evacuates 800 #Syrian White Helmets members near the border after requests from #US and #European governments. The evacuation came after a string of defeats by Syrian rebel forces in the south west of the country."

Looks like a well coordinated operation:

Times of Israel said:

The Jordanian government, which has consistently refused to accept Syrian refugees in recent years, said an exception was made in this case as the United Kingdom, Canada and Germany agreed to take the 800 White Helmet rescuers and their families. The Syrian refugees are scheduled to resettles in those three countries by the end of October, according to Petra.

The White Helmets are not "Syrian refugees", they are al Qaeda with hats on. And we're bringing them here! What could possibly go wrong?

If they are indeed al qaeda, why would the Israeli government agree to this?? There are a lot of conspiracy theories surrounding this lot - interesting to see what the real truth is.

So, we won't let Iraqi and Afghan people who worked directly with coalition forces take asylum here but we are letting the al-nusra PR department move in?

Why am I not surprised.

Grumble,

I think you'll find that the vast majority if not all of the white helmets are indeed Syrian and not AQ.

They do not even look like AQ terrorists: https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-evacuates-800...

They look Syrian to me. We have a sizable Syrian community here in Limassol, Cyprus.

Al Qaeda: https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/al-qaeda-ind...
