"focused on ending the bloodshed. It is the Assad regime that, in slaughtering its own people, has created these chaotic conditions....(W)e want a peaceful, orderly transition."
In other words, cold-blooded murder is OK as long as it advances America's imperium. Uncooperative countries will be ravaged. Body counts don't matter. Top officials are fair game. So are all imaginable lawless tactics.
Washington's dirty hands are all over Wednesday's attack. Death squad diplomacy is prioritized. Hillary Clinton warned about a price to be paid.
Unexplained was that it's far beyond murdering officials. Turning Syria into a charnel house is planned. Daily death squad killings increase body counts. Western and perhaps Qatari special forces as well as intelligence operatives direct them.
Satellite and other communications aid them. Taking the battle to Damascus streets ups the stakes. Scurrilous propaganda conveys the impression that the Assad's government is collapsing. Insurgent attacks alone can't defeat him.
Only body counts increase. Civilians and security forces suffer most.
All sorts of spurious reports circulate. Fake videos are used. Al Jazeera uses footage produced on a Qatar sound stage. Isolated images distort the larger picture. Disreputable sources are cited.
Al Jazeera claimed "the latest developments" reflect a " turning point" in the conflict. "The prestige of the regime has been shattered. Losing control of Damascus (means) the regime is slowly losing its grip over the country."
Nonsense!
