WHEW...President Obama Almost Missed His G-20 Flight Over This Syria Shit...

Fortunately, he was able to get Ban Ki Moon to pull the Inspectors a Day Early.....

UN weapons inspectors to leave Syria a day early

Ban Ki-moon has said the UN weapons inspectors investigating last week's suspected chemical weapons attack will leave Syria on Saturday, one day ahead of schedule.

The announcement deepened anticipation over imminent air strikes. Under an agreement with the Syrian government, the UN team had until the end of Sunday to complete their investigation.

If they leave a day early, they will not be able to carry out the three other site inspections from earlier suspected chemical attacks they had initially intended to complete.

The move is reminiscent of similar hasty departures of UN weapons inspectors from Iraq over a decade ago, after receiving a tip-off from western intelligence agencies that US air strikes against Saddam Hussein's regime were imminent.

Ban called on western powers to refrain from taking action until the UN inspectors had produced a report, but he added to the growing sense of urgency by saying the inspection team would report to him as soon as they left the country. UN officials, however, noted that a proper analysis of the chemical agents involved would take a lot longer. The inspectors had so far sent none of the samples they had collected out of the country for tests, but would be carrying the samples with them when they left. Laboratory work would only begin once they had left Syria.

As Pepe Escobar puts it, "we bomb a country like dialing a pizza delivery":

....

A proverbial, anonymous “senior administration official” even stressed the “desire to get it done before the president leaves for Russia next week.”

That’s it; we bomb a country like dialing a pizza delivery, and then we go to a G20 summit with the world’s emerging powers hosted by no less than Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin. Just because we need to prove that the president of the United States meant what he said: chemical weapons are a red line. And to hell who’s responsible for deploying them.

.....

The evidence points to rockets launched from a “Syrian army post near Damascus” – which Finnish researcher Petri Krohn, currently conducting a meticulous investigation, conclusively placed as occupied by the “rebels” since June. (scroll down to “Qaboun rocket launches”)

Add to it the Defense Ministry in Baghdad, one month ago, dismantling an Al-Qaeda cell in Iraq that was planning to launch attacks in Iraq and “abroad,” as in Syria, using chemical weapons.

....

So here we have all the elements of a sophisticated false flag operation. Jabhat al-Nusra jihadis, mostly mercenaries, connected to al-Qaeda in Iraq, but with no connection with Syrian civilians, including women and children, use an area formerly occupied by the Syrian army to launch a chemical attack – perhaps using chlorine – under the cover of a Syrian offensive (admitted by the government). The offensive was codenamed “Operation City Shield.” Damascus had solid intel about scores of “rebels” trained by the CIA and the Saudis in Jordan converging to the area and planning a massive attack on the capital.

BTW: The whole Pepe Escobar article is a good read....

[geek tragedy]

1. Amazing, a RT.com opinion piece biased against the US and proven to

be ultimately incorrect.

[Junkdrawer]

2. "proven to be ultimately incorrect"....

[geek tragedy]

3. Check back on Monday and tell us if the US has started bombing.

Also, Escobar's false flag conjecture is pretty creative--he must be reading infowars these days.

[Junkdrawer]

4. I hope YOU'RE right about Monday...

But, outside the US and Israel, many, many suspect false flag on this one.

[geek tragedy]

8. Many outside the US and Israel believe all

kinds of crazy shit.

[Junkdrawer]

9. Many inside the US believe all

kinds of crazy shit. Bought and sold Media and all.

Israel actually has a more skeptical public. Unfortunately, they're in a decided minority lately.

[geek tragedy]

11. Blaming every single bad thing on the Mossad

is infowars not Haaretz.

[Junkdrawer]

13. Huh?

Where did THAT come from?

[geek tragedy]

14. The false flag allegations inevitably

mean 'the Jews did it.'

Tradition goes back over a thousand years.

[Junkdrawer]

16. If you had read the OP article (which you proudly stated elsewhere you didn't)....

you would have read;

...

Then there is Saudi intel tsar Bandar bin Sultan, aka Bandar Bush’s threat to President Putin in their notorious four-hour meeting earlier this month: The military solution is the only one left for Syria. Bandar, a master of the dark arts, is in charge of “winning” Syria to the House of Saud by all means available, chemical or otherwise.

....

he does blame some of the Israeli media...

....

Tel Aviv's Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, as I reported earlier, badly wants Washington to attack Syria’s chemical weapons sites – regardless of possible, horrible, “collateral damage”, not to mention the possibility of al-Qaeda-linked jihadi outfits taking control of some of them.

....

But no mention of Mossad. Overt or implied.

[geek tragedy]

18. Ah, this is different ct then.

Earlier today the Mossad theorists were out. Apologies for the mistake.

[delrem]

7. Post proof of "ultimately incorrect", please.

Since you're hell bent on protecting al-Qaeda.

[delrem]

15. "emoprog" -- fail. Do some research on who the "rebels" are in Syria.

The answer has nothing to do with Obama. That Obama supports them? Yes, that has 100% to do with Obama.
Now get back to your kool-aid, it's free, it's abundant, and PNAC is serving.

[geek tragedy]

17. So now you claim that Obama supports al Qaeda.

Just like a Freeptroll, only dumber and crazier.

Scratch an Obama-hating left loon, and find a Teahadist.

P.s. neither I nor Obama support Al Qaeda, so you're a fucking lying little pissant as well as a crazy one.

[Junkdrawer]

19. Sadly, Obama, like every president since Carter (although they weren't called AQ then)...

has used AQ to destabilize countries which weren't friendly to Western businesses.

Needs to stop.

[delrem]

21. as you explained in #16 -- deliberately "forgotten" already.

[delrem]

20. "emoprog" - the clueless taunt of a right-wing troll.

The rebel jihadists are principally composed of al-Nusra Front and al-Qaeda in Iraq and Syria. Obama knows that, as do *you*. Now you can *deny* it in your hellbent rush to ramp up the PNAC war, but you can't refute it.

[whttevrr]

10. I too would like to see the proof of this being "ultimately incorrect"

[indepat]

5. If "We bomb a country like dialing a pizza delivery," what would this tell us about the

PTB and the people?
