Kerry: Arabs Will Finance Syrian War

[Bloodrock44]

Deja vu all over again. Didn't the Bush administration say basically the same thing about Iraq?

The House?s Syria hearing: Live updates

 

[TheOldSchool]

Good lord. What a debacle this has become.

 

[dilloduck]

Bingo---guess what--they already have been. Qatar and Turkey too.
American troops get to be mercenaries---how cool is that ??

 

[Mr Natural]

If theArabs are willing to finance the war (which I doubt they would) why don't they fight it and cut out the middleman?

Qatar and Saudi Arabia have been funding the rebels to the tune of 3 billion dollars already. That's "on the books". So th question quickly becomes, why doesn't the Saudi Prince and Qatar leader just send in their own troops to topple Assad and install a puppet government that will give them their natural gas pipeline. Anyone wanna take a swing at that?

Because it's a lot easier to just throw money at the rebels and let them do the dirty work ???

Just imagine, we have three more years of this egotistic, spineless, gutless, con artist liar for president. By the time he's done with it, you won't even recognize this country.

 

[Lipush]

this whole thing starts to look like a lame circus.

OK, I'll swing at it instead. the reason that these Arab nations want the US to do the work, is because they can not fight a war with Syria and Iran backed by Russia. they would lose that war adn it would all be for naught. The US wouldn't be able to rally American retards into another war under the guise that our Arab dictator friends need our help. That's why they keep banging the WMD button on the White House Inc. news outlets. They require that the US is involved if they wish to succeed in getting Assad to leave so they can have their natural gas pipeline. This means the US is likely looking at big contracts (defense, infrastructure, energy, etc..) in the region. Along with squashing Russian natural gas domination in Europe.

That's what thsi is about. Thats why the Arab nations wont move without the US leading the way (except by rebel proxy war...a war they are losing). It's absolutely essential the US leads the way to mitigate this from becoming a full blow out. None of these nations would dare pick a fight with the US. Including Russia. They would lose. Because once involved and we were attacked, American retards from both sides would rally for war against Russia, Iran or anyone else that the "leadership" says is involved.

At the same time, Israel wants us to help the rebels jsut enough to keep the conflict going./ Assad is no threat to Israel, but a Syria run by extremists may very well be. So the idea is to let them keep fighting. Arm them, take that money and watch them kill each other until we can be certian the different rebel factions can be controlled and will not threaten US interests. Or Israel.

You're welcome.

You have hit the nail on the head. Anyone thinks this is about WMD is daft. It's ALL about the pipeline that Saudi wants.

 

[Desperado]

Where have we heard this before?
Let me give you a hint:
Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz told a congressional panel that Iraqi oil revenues would help pay for reconstructing the country, i.e. a cost of the war. “The oil revenue of that country could bring between 50 and 100 billion dollars over the course of the next two or three years. We’re dealing with a country that could really finance its own reconstruction, and relatively soon,” he said.

Now how did that work out for the US? Really want to try that again?

 

[R.C. Christian]

This just keeps getting better and better. This of course means that this war was preplanned. Sounds like a real conspiracy.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

How can that traitor scumbag SecState ask someone to die for a mistake?

That's pretty close, yeah. Only it's not that it's easier. It's that it is covert. With so many factions of rebels in Syria, it's easy to finance different groups for different reasons at the time. With the overall goal of toppling Assad.

 

[Desperado]

So now our military becomes mercenaries. Before we had the best politicians money could buy, now the same can be said of our military too.
