The largest imperial offensive since the Iraq invasion of March, 2003, is in full swing, under the banner of “humanitarian” intervention – Barack Obama’s fiendishly clever upgrade of George Bush’s “dumb” wars. Having failed to obtain a Libyan-style United Nations Security Council fig leaf for a “humanitarian” military strike against Syria, the United States shifts effortlessly to a global campaign “outside the U.N. system” to expand its NATO/Persian Gulf royalty/Jihadi coalition. Next stop: Tunisia, where Washington’s allies will assemble on February 24 to sharpen their knives as “Friends of Syria.” The U.S. State Department has mobilized to shape the “Friends” membership and their “mandate” – which is warlord-speak for refining an ad hoc alliance for the piratical assault on Syria’s sovereignty.

A flotilla of Iranian warships crossed the Suez Canal and docked at the Syrian port of Tartus on Saturday.
Iran’s Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi said the mission displays Iran’s “might” despite 30 years of relentless sanctions.
The flotilla comprised the 18th Fleet of the Iranian navy. The warships would hold exercises and will “train Syrian naval forces under an agreement signed between Tehran and Damascus one year ago”.
The influential cleric and deputy chairman of the Majlis’ (parliament’s” National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, Hossein Ebrahimi said:
“The presence of Iran and Russia’s flotillas along the Syrian coasts has a clear message against the United States’ possible adventurism. In case of any US strategic mistake in Syria, there is a possibility that Iran, Russia and a number of other countries will give a crushing response to the US.”

Who are you? What are you? The recent UN condemnations against Syria raise the question: Does the western media or the UN even ask that of whoever these people are that are telling wild stories about events in Syria? No, they don’t. They just promote them as they present themselves (for example claiming to be Syrian soldiers defecting because they refuse to kill civilians).

Los estrategas de la OTAN habían previsto controlar la ciudad de Homs para dar un golpe mortal a la República Árabe siria
ResistenciaLibia
11th February, 2012
Con solamente observar el mapa está claro que si la OTAN a través de sus fuerzas especiales y mercenarios toman Homs dividen Siria entre Norte y Sur y entre Este y Oeste. Cortan el acceso de Damasco a Alepo y a las ciudades de la costa siria, particularmente Tartus y Lataquié. Es por eso que han desplegado fuerzas especiales de Turquía y Gran Bretaña además de mercenarios pagados por Qatar y Arabia Saudita para dar apoyo logístico a los terroristas anti sirios y medios de comunicación con los que vigilar a las fuerzas sirias y atacarlas. Además suministran a los criminales armas sofisticadas como fusiles de visión nocturna y granadas de fósforo para destruir carros ligeros. Obviamente esta realidad es ocultada por los medios de desinformación imperialistas como Al Jazeera y CNN.
