The head of the Syriac Catholic Church said that the support of Syrian rebels by the United States, Great Britain, and France was tantamount to “fomenting the violence” in Syria “under the pretext of a kind of Arab Spring,” Canadian Catholic News reported.
Patriarch Ignatius Joseph III Yonan, who was making a pastoral visit to Ottawa, charged that the Western view of “modernized, civilized rebels” opposing the Assad regime was a “fantasy.”
Paraphrasing the Patriarch’s remarks, the report continued:
These rebels were supplied with arms, he said. Thus, it is up to the West to take measures to stop Daesh (the Islamic State or ISIS). They must provide soldiers on the ground to stop the fighting. Airstrikes are not enough, he said, because Daesh fighters mingle with civilians, making the risk too great.
I have little doubt it will eventually come to that.
Wait until all those Syrians get HERE!
I’ve compiled a short list of what I believe are the TOP EXISTENTIAL threats to what remains of the America we older folks knew and loved – warts and all – growing up.
THE DISEASE OF SPIRITUAL AND EDUCATIONAL IGNORANCE AND APATHY brought to us by “leftist progressive” control of the government education system and the failure of too many citizens to grasp what was going on in those places tops the list. The formerly free and open marketplace of ideas has been effectively closed and shuttered by false and debate derailing devices with names like “Political Correctness”, “Tolerance” and “Diversity”.
Mr. Franklin warned us about that when he declared that “A NATION OF WELL INFORMED MEN, WHO HAVE BEEN TAUGHT TO KNOW AND TO PRIZE THE RIGHTS GOD HAS GIVEN THEM, CANNOT BE ENSLAVED. IT IS IN THE REGION OF IGNORANCE THAT TYRANNY BEGINS.” We are no longer well informed and are now deep into that dark and dangerous region of ignorance! Can you guess what comes next??
That ignorance has led to the elevation to our highest elected office an unvetted, unqualified America hating Marxist community organizer who has been relentless in his effort to destroy us ideologically. It also led to the retention in high office of turncoats named McConnell, Boehner and others who care more for their positions and perks than they do for the preservation of the nation and Constitution they also swore a sacred oath to “...preserve, protect and defend” . To retain their positions and perks, they have done NOTHING to bring to heel the petty tyrant now infesting the presidency.
Their failure in checking the madman in the White House has brought us to what those of us who have thought it through realize will be the ideological death of America – the IDEA left us by the Founders. That destruction will be the inevitable result of the ongoing and increasing importation of people who know even less of our language, traditions, customs, mores and folkways than a disturbing number of native born citizens and who are no longer urged – let alone required – to assimilate into the tattered remains of this culture.
There is also a very real risk of PHYSICAL DESTRUCTION that will ensue as Obama and his handmaidens in Washington and elsewhere devote the last days of this farce of a so-called administration IMPORTING UNVETTED MUSLIM TERRORISTS under the cover of rescuing “REFUGEES”. If you’ve seen the photos of the mostly physically fit young men of fighting age coming out of the mess now enveloping Europe, can you guess how much “mischief” the thousands Obama plans to bring here will create? You do know that “mischief” and the ensuing civil disorder are all part of the bigger One World plan, don’t you? Conspiracy? WHAT CONSPIRACY??
If the government refuses to perform one of the few functions mandated in the Constitution, that of to “...provide for the common defense”, that defense will have to be accomplished by other means.
If, by “the West”, this person is referring to the USA,
Obama has no intention of fighting ISIS.
That is why many Americans have been buying guns and ammo in record numbers for the last couple of years now.
In other words, SATAN the devil.
Allah = SATAN.
God Bless the Patriarch! The Westerners are arrogant fools when it comes to the ME! But just like with Iraq, the West won’t listen to its friends.
Screw you, Syriac! Use your own worthless camel jockeys. But put on the side of Assad.
