Europe, America and Syria...games were played! Part 2.

Thanks to Brunswick for the link!

How well do you remember the events that have led up to the refugee crisis Europe is facing today?  You believe you know the facts?  Yeah so did I...but I forgot many things and luckily Moon Of Alabama Blog as a nice history of it (here)...a tidbit though...

In 2007 a plan for regime change in Syria was agreed upon between the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia. The aim was to destroy the "resistance" alliance of Hizbullah, Syria and Iran:

To undermine Iran, which is predominantly Shiite, the Bush Administration has decided, in effect, to reconfigure its priorities in the Middle East. In Lebanon, the Administration has cooperated with Saudi Arabia’s government, which is Sunni, in clandestine operations that are intended to weaken Hezbollah, the Shiite organization that is backed by Iran. The U.S. has also taken part in clandestine operations aimed at Iran and its ally Syria. A by-product of these activities has been the bolstering of Sunni extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam and are hostile to America and sympathetic to Al Qaeda.

And then this...

The British parliament voted down a request from its government to join the war. The British population, like in the U.S., had no stomach for another lengthy war. Obama was in a catch 22 situation. He could go to war without asking Congress and would then face a possible impeachment from a very hostile House, or he could ask Congress for a vote for war. He soonclimbed down from his "I'll wage this war" position and decided to go to Congress. The U.S. population was widely against another Middle East war as was the U.S. military. Pressured by their constituents and in view of unconvincing claims of evidence about the "massacre" Congress denied Obama its vote for war. In this Congress even defied AIPAC and the Israel lobby lost its first fight in over 22 years.
Obama has an urgent domestic agenda to implement. There is Obama-care, the budget and an upcoming fight over on the debt ceiling. Having lost in Congress Obama could not, solely on his assumed presidential powers, go to war. He would have risked an immediate impeachment process and a lame duck status for the rest of his presidency. What was he to do?
There the white Russian knight, Vladimir Putin, rode to Obama's rescue.
Putin offered a deal: Syria would agree to give up its unconventional weapons and the U.S. would agree for the Syrian government and president Assad to stay in power. The idea goes back to August 2012 when former Sen. Richard Lugar had proposed such a deal in Moscow.

Yeah that's right boys and girls.

The Obama Administration might publicly vilify the Bush term in office. Republicans might vilify Obama and say that his foreign policy isn't robust enough.

The reality?

They're following the same playbook.... and we're being treated like fools by the govt, most news sources and the "Think Tank" crowd.  You might say that I'm putting on a tinfoil hat but MoA has links to mainstream news sources.

When it comes to this and other subjects we should NOT trust talking points, spin and the media.  This is bigger than Benghazi and yet no one is talking about it.

We must DARE TO THINK...the conventional wisdom is not only wrong, its a sad joke.
