Eric Fehrnstrom: Arming Syrian Opposition Would Level the Playing Field - Yahoo! News

Romney campaign senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom defended Mitt Romney's call to arm opposition forces in Syria, saying it would create "a level playing field" this morning on "This Week."

"They are brave, and they're not going away," Fehrnstrom said of those opposing the rule of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. "What they need is the capacity to wage a fair fight. So what Governor Romney would do is encourage the United States to work with our partners to identify, organize, and arm the opposition."

"They're going up against vastly superior forces in Assad's army and have suffered 10,000 losses, just slaughtered by the government," Fehrnstrom added.

ABC News' George Will challenged the idea, citing the U.S. effort to arm the opposition to Russia in Afghanistan in the 1980's.

"We armed the Taliban in Afghanistan, and that didn't turn out so well," Will said.


Fehrnstrom agreed that care had to be taken when selecting who to partner with in the opposition, but criticized President Obama for not acting to support moderates in Syria.

"For the last year-and-a-half, this president has not engaged in organizing moderate forces within that opposition," Fehrnstrom said. "So to the extent that there's a vacuum that's being filled by bad actors, that is the president's fault."

When Will asked "How do you stop once you engage?" Fehrnstrom said that Romney is not calling for direct intervention, but arming the opposition "so that there's a level playing field." Will replied, "That's an intervention."

Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said the president "is commit[ed] to toppling the regime in Syria, but we have to do it in a responsible way that protects our interests."

Assad junior now understands the "Milosovitch" scenario, and how the latter had felt.

Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear.

I never thought I would see the day when Americans would be so blinded and partisan that they'd start backing dictators. But here we see a guy who pparently really misses Qaddaffi....

Let's arm Palestinians to the same degree we arm Israelis, to create a level playing field. Oh fuck it. Let's just nuke Israel and let the peace begin.

The Shah of Iran was the opposite of Gaddaffi. He never promoted or exported Islamic radicalism and terrorism. He was a secular leader that was friendly with the West and did not persecute women or minorities. He did a lot for his people, built roads, schools, hospitals, infrastructure etc. Sure, he was a dictator / monarch, and there was a lot of cronyism and corruption all around him. But he showed his class, dignity, and humanity and stepped aside when the protests started rather than slaughter his own people, as many Arab leaders like Assad, Sadam Hussein, and Gadaffi have done. To compare him to the current Iranian regime or Gaddaffi is like comparing Mother Teresa to Charles Manson. The rap sheet on these thieving mass murdering Islamic terrorists in charge now is so long your computer would not even have enough memory to open the document.

Roudy -

Once again, you display an aversion to fact that can only be indicative of a lifelong condition...

The Shah operated amongst the most brutal police states the world has ever seen, every bit as oppressive as that in Libya, and arguably worse.

SAVAK has been described as Iran's "most hated and feared institution" prior to the revolution of 1979 because of its practice of torturing and executing opponents of the Pahlavi regime.[2][3] At its peak, the organization had as many as 60,000 agents serving in its ranks according to one source

During the height of its power, SAVAK had virtually unlimited powers. It operated its own detention centers, like Evin Prison. In addition to domestic security the service's tasks extended to the surveillance of Iranians abroad, notably in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom, and especially students on government stipends. T

A turning point in SAVAK's reputation for ruthless brutality was reportedly an attack on a gendarmerie post in the Caspian village of Siahkal by a small band of armed Marxists in February 1971, although it is also reported to have tortured to death a Shia cleric, Ayatollah Muhammad Reza Sa'idi, in 1970.[17] According to Iranian political historian Ervand Abrahamian, after this attack SAVAK interrogators were sent abroad for "scientific training to prevent unwanted deaths from 'brute force.' Brute force was supplemented with the bastinado; sleep deprivation; extensive solitary confinement; glaring searchlights; standing in one place for hours on end; nail extractions; snakes (favored for use with women); electrical shocks with cattle prods, often into the rectum; cigarette burns; sitting on hot grills; acid dripped into nostrils; near-drownings; mock executions; and an electric chair with a large metal mask to muffle screams while amplifying them for the victim. This latter contraption was dubbed the Apollo—an allusion to the American space capsules. Prisoners were also humiliated by being raped, urinated on, and forced to stand naked.[18] Despite the new 'scientific' methods, the torture of choice remained the traditional bastinado used to beat soles of the feet. The "primary goal" of those using the bastinados "was to locate arms caches, safe houses and accomplices ..." [19]

There are some wonderful books on this, but I somewhow doubt you have the stomach for them.

It's just a shame that the Mullahs who replaced the Shah turned out to be no better, and possibly worse.

A little more on Roudy's "mother Teresa"...who Roudy inexplibaly claims:

did not persecute women or minorities.

Actually, both Shah father an son persecuted the Kurds, and most Kurds backed the Islamic revolution:

"In 1922, Reza Khan (who later became the first Pahlavi monarch), took action against Kurdish leaders. Simko was forced to abandon his region in the fall of 1922, and spent eight years in hiding. When the Iranian government persuaded him to submit, he was ambushed and killed around Ushno (Oshnavieh) in 1930. After this, Reza Shah pursued a crude but effective policy against the Kurds. Hundreds of Kurdish chiefs were deported and forced into exile. Their lands were also confiscated by the government."

How is that NOT persecution, Roudy?

Really, you fucking idiot? Why don't you ask some Iranians and find out who was more brutal, barbaric, and backward, the Shah, or these Islamic animals? Do you have any idea how many people have been rounded up, murdered, tortured by these Islamic animals? Living under the Shah was like a good dream for the Iranians that are currently living this nightmare. You are one of the most ignorant idiots I have met in my entire life. YOU ARE A KNOW NOTHING PIECE OF SHIT TERRORIST WORSHIPPER.

Fatima Saigoon seems to now profess to know more than actual Iranians. Tell us Fatima Saigoon, have you met and talked to any Iranian Armenians, Bahaiis, Jews, and other minorities, and listened to the great life they had under the Shah? Here we go, another one of your ridiculous, ignorant, assertions. I doubt you even graduated from Middle School. You are a blowhard imposter that is full of shit.

Reza Shah was the Shah's father, he was a military leader trying to preserve the territorial integrity of his country. The Kurdish cause is one of those noble causes and unlike the fake Palestinian cause you promote, they do deserve a state. But the state has to include parts of Iraq, Iran, Syria, and the greatest portion would be Turkey. At least Reza Shah didn't drop nerve gas on the Kurds like Sadam or commit genocide like the Turks.
