Syria accuses US of supporting ISIS
2018-01-27
[ALMASDARNEWS] Syria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations
...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly...
and head of the Syrian government delegation to the intra-Syrian talks Bashar al-Jaafari has accused the United States of supporting Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(a terrorist organization outlawed in Russia).

"How can a country like the United States, which has given birth to Islamic State, which has been supporting and defending Islamic State, which continues to fight for Islamic State, a country, which has been violating Syria’s illusory sovereignty by its military presence in our country and negating international laws and conventions, how can a country, which has the blood of the Syrian people on its hands, speak about a political solution and Syria’s future?," he said on Friday after a two-day meeting on Syria at the United Nations office in Vienna.

He voiced criticism of each of the five nations (the United States, the United Kingdom, La Belle France, Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
and Jordan), which had come out with an unofficial document on Syrian settlement at a meeting in Washington on January 12.

According to al-Jafaari, the UK and La Belle France are following the United States "like a blind man following another blind man." Jordan, in his words, has opened its borders to snuffies to become "a place for seven training camps for terrorists." As for Saudi Arabia, he called it ironically "a pinnacle of democracy and a beacon of freedom in the East."

Neither of these five has the right to dictate its will to the Syrian people, he stressed.

#1  "Having the right", I assume means appealing to some standard of "righteousness"? I sincerely doubt if that has any relevance morally , and certainly NOT in a political sense. Neither side certainly cares a fig for righteousness and by whose standard may I ask is such a quality to be assessed or judged? The assertion is meaningless and hot air, and sure to be ignored as a waste of attention or air. It WILL be ignored. Syria HAS no sovereignty and it is a matter of National INTERESTS which define the problem.
I suggest that all concerned Deal in reality and forget "rights".

The blood of the Syrian people ? Give me a break. NO body cares. The Syrian people can have a grenade for Breakfast and Poison Gas for Lunch and the whole world will yawn.
Syria is a hole and the people of Syria are down in that hole sucking dirt and the whole world will sell them their breakfast AND their Lunch. And then the whole world will use the hole for a toilet. That is the TRUTH.
And the UN will waste its time sitting and talking and none of the participants in the hole can realistically OR will listen or notice.
The Moslem HOLE is the realty and reality is a Hole in Syria. Moslems are largely killing Moslems and Moslems are supply-ing the meat and the bullets. Islam is like that.
National Interests IS the game. and any illusory "rights" are written on your upturned arse. The Koran is a napkin for Dinner. Bon appetit'
Syria is a doomed hole. A Moslem hole full of Moslems. It will go one and on and on and on some more. Years and years....am I lying' to 'ya?
