This morning an historian who reads Views from the Edge left this comment on yesterday’s post about Prevarication and Syria:

What happened to the “war on terror”? We are actually backing Al Qaeda in the Syrian civil war. The training we have given the anti-govt. Al Qaeda forces in Syria includes training in the use of chemical weapons. This civil war was induced by the US in order to create regime change in Syria in order to neutralize the rise of Iran & thus stabilize Israel’s future. By doing so we maintain Israel as a Western base for nuclear weapons that are able to threaten anyone that attempts to threaten the supply of Saudi oil to Europe. The fact that California Dem Diane Feinstein announced yesterday we would be making available new video showing gassed Syrian victims writhing in pain is so transparent it makes one want to vomit. Here we caused the death of 600,000 children in Saddam‘s Iraq with our trade embargo & backed Saddam’s use of gas against Iran in a war that killed a million or so. With calls against an attack running 90 to one the need for Feinstein’s video is a desperate attempt by the MIC to change US public opinion.
