U.S. Was Warned of Attack on Aid Workers in Syria
Daily Beast ^ | September 26, 2016 | Michael Weiss

Two days prior to devastating aerial attacks, Michael Ratney, the U.S. special envoy to Syria, was told the Assad regime was planning to hit the Aleppo facilities of the Syrian Civil Defense, a volunteer rescue group. Raed al-Saleh, the head of the organization, which is widely known as the White Helmets, was in Manhattan last week, where he told not only Ratney, but envoys from the Netherlands, Britain, and Canada. He said intercepted communications from military officers in the Assad regime signaled imminent plans to bomb several rescue centers, according to two sources who were in the room when al-Saleh transmitting this intelligence.

I’ll just bet “he was told”

Probably by our moderate allies who were setting it up as a false flag

Syria is the definition of QUAGMIRE

there is now way to win, and are no military goals, or rather, the REAL goals can’t be admitted publicly. We are even arming our future enemies for these hidden goals. We can’t even name the enemy, because again, our establishment has lied about the actual goals of the war there. It is now a proxy civil war involving major world powers. The country is being absolutely pulverized and millions of refugees generated for no clear reason.

Good assessment until you wrote this: “and millions of refugees generated for no clear reason.”.

Would you agree that Obola has used creative destruction to deliberately unleash Millions of pissed Muslim hornets to disrupt the Middle East, Europe, Africa and North American government, economy and culture?

Is it now much easier to implement NWO world government and currency, than when Obola took office in 2009?

Would you say that he’s kept his promise to “fundamentally transform” our country and the world?

Does his community organizer strategy and tactics align with how he’s governed our country and foreign policy?

The country is being absolutely pulverized and millions of refugees generated for no clear reason.

The reason may not be clear, but the bottom line is the Alawite Assad is battling the Sunnis and Assad has the help of the Iranian Shiites, and the Infidel Russians.

The Syrian Sunni refugees will be absorbed by the naive Christian countries and help Islam get a start in those countries,where those Muslims will never adopt Infidel ways or laws.
That's a good thing from Islams point of view.
I'll bet the Sunni Saudis like that happening. -Tom

And Hillary keeps wanting to make the Russians the enemy.

She has done so with Libya, Iraq, and Syria. She’s a WARMONGER. She really seems to want to push us into conflict.

It seems that Huma and the muslim brotherhood control hillary.

The side that fights a war as a war will win. So far, Assad seems to be the one who is fighting to win.

So does this mean the FSA( Free Syrian Army) is now an enemy? This is really biblical watching all the muslim groups and tribes tear each other limb from limb.

The only kind of “aid workers” in Syria are intelligence operatives.

The FSA has never been anything but a jihadist enemy. And one that we founded, encouraged and supplied. Only Obama, McCain, and our military leaders ever thought differently.

They pretended they were the reincarnation of Jefferson and Madison.

Exactly. These while helmets, the ones distributing food, medical supplies, generators, etc etc. are nothing but the logistical element of the jihadi rebels.

And this fits in with our modern “total war” effort. NGOs, humanitarian, banking, diplomacy all are used as weapons. The war in Syria began as early as 2006 under Bush. The State dept was identifying elements in Syria they could nurture and unleash. It was done for their Saudi and Gulf state masters.
The Black version of Bush, Obama, continued and brought the plan into full swing.

The only thing that saved Syria from becoming another Sunni dictatorship theocracy was Russia jumping in.

Our aid workers and NGOs are a part of the total force. This is why all our NGOs were ejected from Russia. They were undermining and working to find, create and support opposition.

I agree. Don't think i was the first by any stretch but being a sort of biblical last days eschatologist( exciting stuff)searcher I did see the FSA as an evil backed by dumb asses figthing against the evil moderate Alawite(sp) Assad and all the talking heads were waffling on who is the more evil. FSA were all wearing halos and the gas horrors were all against the FSA( their words not mine.

Now, NOW we have fity or more including the Kurds all grabbing pieces of rubble and all the CIA could do throwing millions at this war got what five suckers? No one =in their right mind would take these evil sobs and Obama is bringing them in by the planeload. We're gonna have to really start protecting and defending very soon right here if the UN and Hillary don't enforce some commando gun raids( rooting for the common man seems futile these days but I'm rooting for US.them) Sorry, a bit long but this war is bad and exporting these vermin is about as stupid as we can get yet Obama will earn another Nobel along with Merkel's Germany the UK, France, Sweden...ad nauseam.>/p>
