Resistance in the Middle East is Not a “Discontinuous Event”
By Kurt Nimmo
Is it possible 'Robin Wright'
(http://www.cheltenhamadultschool.org/images/wright.jpg) and 'Glenn Kessler'
of the Washington Post were born the day before yesterday?
In an article published on page A11 of the Washington Post
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A2028-2005Mar25.html), Wright
and Kessler make it appear the idea of deposing the government in Syria is a
“discontinuous event”, as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice put it. “What
we’re trying to do is to assess the situation so that nobody is blindsided,
because events are moving so fast and in such unpredictable directions that
it is only prudent at this point to know what’s going on,” Rice told the
Post.
In Bushzarro world, a long standing and well-documented effort to
destabilize Syria—in lieu of bombing the hell out of the place—is a
“discontinuous event … meaning that you were expecting them to go along like
this and all of a sudden they go off in this direction, in periods of change
like this. So we’re going to look at all the possibilities and talk to as
many people as we possibly can.”
Actually, as the Washington Post notes, the Bushcons are pretty much talking
to only one person—Farid N. Ghadry
(http://reformsyria.org/Misc/bio_of_farid_n_ghadry.htm), the Ahmed Chalabi
of Syrian politics—or rather American-based Syrian politics since virtually
nobody in Syria has ever heard of Farid Ghadry (email: f...@reformsyria.com),
the president of the Reform Party of Syria, RPS (http://reformsyria.org), a
“US-based opposition party that has emerged as a result of September 11,”
according to the RPS web site.
Exactly what September 11 has to do with the RPS is not explained. “Farid
Ghadry is a secular, pro-democracy Sunni from a majority-Sunni country,”
writes 'Elisabeth Eaves' (http://slate.msn.com/id/2113160) of Slate. “He is
charming and articulate, enjoys driving his kids to soccer practice, and
favors a Syrian peace with Israel”. Of course, it is no coincidence guys
like Chalabi and Ghadry want to make “peace” with Israel.
“Chalabi was close to such prominent hawks as Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld, Undersecretary of Defense Douglas Feith, and Vice President Dick
Cheney,” Eaves continues. “Farid Ghadry has joined the Committee on the
Present Danger, a group of politicians, ex-administration officials, and big
thinkers who say they are dedicated to winning the war on terrorism; its
members include such pre-emption supporters as Newt Gingrich, Jeane
Kirkpatrick, and James Woolsey.”
In other words, just like the convicted (in absentia) bank embezzler
Chalabi, Farid Ghadry is a Strausscon fellow traveler, thus all the
enthusiasm about Israel. For some reason I am not surprised.
“The Syrian Americans who attended the meeting [convened by “democracy czar”
Elizabeth Cheney] urged the administration to take tentative steps to
pressure Damascus, such as having Bush call for greater freedoms and release
of political prisoners, said Farid Ghadry,” the Washington Post continues.
“The delegation also sought support for lawsuits in U.S. courts against
Syrian officials engaged in human rights abuses, an option available under
the Alien Tort Claims Act, Farid Ghadry said.”
No word if this Strausscon delegation intends to support Maher Arar’s
lawsuit against former AG John Ashcroft. “After being held apparently
without access to legal representation [by United States immigration
officials while changing planes at JFK Airport while returning to Montreal
from vacation with his family in Tunisia], and despite being a Canadian
citizen traveling with a Canadian passport, [Maher Arar] was deported to
Syria on October 7 or 8. After his arrival in Syria, he disappeared. The
Canadian government was not contacted about Mr. Arar’s case until October
10, 2002, after his deportation. He was later discovered to be in a Syrian
jail,” writes Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maher_Arar). “On
November 4 [2003] in Ottawa, Arar publicly asserted that, while held in
Syrian prisons for 10 months, he was repeatedly tortured by being whipped
with a thick electric cable and threatened with electric shocks,” notes
Human Rights Watch (http://www.hrw.org/press/2003/11/syria110703.htm).
“Since September 11, 2001, the Bush administration has reportedly
facilitated or participated directly in the transfer of numerous persons
without extradition proceedings, a practice known as ‘irregular rendition,’
to countries in the Middle East known to practice torture routinely.”
Omission and engineered amnesia is part and parcel of the corporate media’s
agenda when it comes to places such as Syria and Iran.
Left unmentioned, of course, is the fact that the Strausscons have long
gunned for Syria as part of Bush’s axis of evil and there is nothing
“discontinuous” about it.
For instance, back in April of 2003, the regular cast of Strausscon and
unabashed Zionist characters—Elliott Abrams, Douglas Feith, Paula
Dobriansky, Michael Rubin, David Wurmser, Jeanne Kirkpatrick, Frank Gaffney,
Michael Ledeen, and JINSAite David Steinmann—signed on to a report demanding
Syria end its occupation of Lebanon, a fact now coming to pass. “The study,
Ending Syria’s Occupation of Lebanon: The U.S. Role, was co-authored by
Daniel Pipes, who has just been nominated by Bush to a post at the U.S.
Institute of Peace (USIP), and Ziad Abdelnour, who heads a group founded by
him called the United States Committee for a Free Lebanon (USCFL). The study
was released by Pipes’ group, the Middle East Forum,” explains Jim Lobe
(http://www.alternet.org/story/15679).
Completely ignoring this and dozens of other aggressive pronouncements by
the Strausscons directed against Syria, 'Robin Wright' and 'Glenn Kessler'
kick off their article by saying the “Bush administration is reaching out to
the Syrian opposition because of growing concerns that unrest in Lebanon
could spill over and suddenly destabilize Syria, which borders four
countries pivotal to U.S. Middle East policy—Israel, Iraq, Lebanon and
Turkey, U.S. and Syrian sources said.”
In fact, this destabilization—to say nothing of the Strausscon agenda in
Lebanon—is something Cheney and his cabal of Zionist cronies and far
right-wingers have had in mind for years, not withstanding the entirely and
obviously transparent babble of Condi Rice. Robin Wright and Glenn Kessler,
who likely have families and mortgages on condos, are doing what they are
told to do and thus earn their salaries—make it appear the Bushites are
surprised by events in the Middle East when in fact they are closely
orchestrating them in league with the Likudites in Israel.
Incidentally, it was just last month that Farid Ghadry
(http://arabist.net/archives/2005/02/17/what-next-for-syria-and-lebanon)
wrote for the Middle East Quarterly (a Strausscon operation), “the Western
democracies may ignore the nascent reform movements, dictatorial regimes
across the Middle East are increasingly worried about their own growing
democracy movements. Nowhere is this truer than in my homeland, Syria. Short
of sending troops into Syria, however—an outcome neither Americans nor
Syrians want—democracy will be an elusive dream unless the U.S. government
is willing to support reformists publicly and fund them properly. A meeting
in the White House with a Syrian democratic leader will send clear signals
to Syria and beyond that change is on its way, thereby encouraging faster
reforms.”
It didn’t take long for the almost entirely irrelevant and obscure RPS to
get a hearing with “democracy czar” Elizabeth Cheney.
It really is remarkable how quickly the Strausscons have realized so many
objectives in their war against Muslims and Arabs—invading and overthrowing
the Taliban (essentially created by the CIA and Pakistan’s ISI), invading
and overthrowing Iraq and Saddam Hussein (a former CIA asset), killing more
than 100,000 expendable Iraqis in the process, fomenting a Falangist (read:
fascist) “cedar revolution” in Lebanon after a US-Israeli hit against a
popular former Lebanese prime minister, and now chipping away at the
underpinnings of Syria.
Of course, there are bumps in the road—namely Iran and Hezbollah, the former
gearing up for invasion and the latter with much support in Lebanon (and
elsewhere in the Middle East).
Syria may fall but this will certainly not be a definitive victory for the
Strausscons since, as the “insurgency” in Iraq painfully demonstrates, as
did Israel’s hightailing it out of Lebanon, unable to defeat Hezbollah,
increasing numbers of people in the Middle East are willing to fight the
U.S. and Israel to a stand still.
No number of Strausscons signing on to reports calling for the overthrow of
sovereign nations will put growing rebellion against foreign invasion,
engineered “cedar revolutions,” and occupations to rest.
