Materials implicating Syrian gov in chemical attack prepared before incident – Russia
Published time: August 23, 2013 11:37
Edited time: August 23, 2013 12:18
Materials implicating the forces of Syrian president Bashar Assad in chemical weapons use near Damascus were prepared prior to the alleged incident on August 21, the Russian foreign ministry said.
Moscow continues to monitor closely the event surrounding the “alleged” chemical attack near Damascus, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Aleksandr Lukashevich, said in a statement.
“We’re getting more new evidence that this criminal act was of a provocative nature,” he stressed. “In particular, there are reports circulating on the Internet, in particular that the materials of the incident and accusations against government troops had been posted for several hours before the so-called attack. Thus, it was a pre-planned action.”

Rand Paul: ‘Inexcusable’ Hillary Didn’t See Security Requests from Benghazi
NPO ^ | August 21, 2013 | Katrina Trinko
Paducah, Ky. — Senator Rand Paul criticized Hillary Clinton over her handling of the 2012 Benghazi attack again today, saying it was “inexcusable” she hadn’t read the State Department cables requesting more security.
“I asked Hillary Clinton a point-blank question: Did you read the cables from Benghazi?” Paul said during a Q7A after a speech he gave at the Rotary Club in Paducah. “And she said she was too busy, she didn’t have time to. That’s inexcusable.”

“I continue to think that what was going on in Benghazi, what they were trying to cover up, was a gun-running operation into Syria,” Paul said.

Thought to give you this video received from Egypt. It’s amb, Ahmed, an Islamocommie who already admitted to be “progressive.”
He’s interviewing ambassador Frank Wisener about Egypt for the Huffington Post!
It’s remarkable to see the cat and mouse and the “corrections” the ambassador had to point out!

That says it all, doesn’t it?
USA intelligence agencies who KNOW THIS AND MUST BE TELLING 0b0z0 about it, IF they’re doing their job properly as the should, must be overruled, shut-up and threatened BECAUSE IT DOESN’T FIT THE AGENDA TO SUPPORT THE MB!
IOW, don’t bother me with facts, says POTUS, JARRETT!

Never has the US appeared so untrustworthy, destructive, irrelevant and impotent
Jewish World Review ^ | 8/23/2013 | Carolyne B. Glick
Full title: Never since America’s founding has the US appeared so untrustworthy, destructive, irrelevant and impotent.
Aside from the carnage in Benghazi, the most enduring image from Hillary Clinton’s tenure as US Secretary of State was the fake remote control she brought with her to Moscow in 2009 with the word “Reset” in misspelled Russian embossed on it.
Clinton’s gimmick was meant to show that under President Barack Obama, American foreign policy would be fundamentally transformed. Since Obama and Clinton blamed much of the world’s troubles on the misdeeds of their country, under their stewardship of US foreign policy, the US would reset everything. Around the globe, all bets were off.
Five years later we realize that Clinton’s embarrassing gesture was not a gimmick, but a dead serious pledge. Throughout the world, the Obama administration has radically altered America’s policies.
And disaster has followed. Never since America’s establishment has the US has appeared so untrustworthy, destructive, irrelevant and impotent.
Consider Syria. Wednesday was the one year anniversary of Obama’s pledge that the US would seek the overthrow of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime if Assad used chemical weapons against his opponents.
Wednesday, Assad’s forces used chemical weapons against civilians around Damascus. According to opposition forces, well over a thousand people were murdered.
>>SNIP<<
Clinton’s reset button was played up as a gimmick. But it was a solemn oath. And it was fulfilled. And as a result, the world is a much more violent and dangerous place. The US and its allies are more threatened. The US’s enemies from Moscow to Tehran to Venezuela are emboldened.
I searched for the post of Krauthammer’s article but couldn’t find it quickly.
Here’s the URL followed by my answer:
Dear Mr. Krauthammer,
I hope you’ll read this. If you’re not, you’re missing a lot of correct info that’s exposing the Washington and Western MB support at worst and ignorance at best.
“The choice is binary: the country will be ruled by the Muslim Brotherhood or by the military.”
If he said: “The choice WAS binary: the country WAS ruled by the Muslim Brotherhood or by the military.” He would’ve been right.
For 60 plus years, it was military rule followed by ONE year MB rule that was more than enough. The military removed the MB by 33 - 40 million demanding PEACEFULLY to dump the MB AND NO MILITARY RULE TO FOLLOW! This second demand is an unknown and un advertised fact.
They did. The military invoked the Islamist Constitution itself before suspending it. It says that a transitional temporary government headed by the Constitutional Court Chief Judge as temporary president and who appoints a temporary prime minister who in turn, appoints a temporary cabinet.
That’s exactly what happened and there was NEVER a military rule for even 24 hours! This fulfilled the second rebels’ demand.
Just letting you know some facts.
Wow! Great find!
And now this morning we get news that the chemical attack in Syria is yet another MB lie!
It was on blog yesterday Caww on front page of Egyptian Live blog from Al Jazeera English news
I think they took it down after today LOL!

Another infamous cleric I wrote about up thread. He was in Rabaa and threatened ALL the Egyptian people. (as you know by now, I maintain that the although the MB are mostly Egyptian-born, they’re mentally Arab nomads)
He threatened that the MB will burn and explode Egypt if Morsi wasn’t reinstated. He threatened Sisi personally because “Sisi turned Egypt to Afghanistan and that he created a new Taliban. All these behind me will turn into suicide bombers, we will all be martyrs, etc...”
Now as his former arrested boss, Safwat Higazy, who said basically “ what MB? Never heard of them, etc.” this bastard came out on one of the MB networks and APOLOGIZE for three minutes (unfortunately the audio is in Arabic,) of a diatribe “I didn’t say this and that. Anger and FEAR FOR EGYPT let me do it. I LOVE EGYPT AND EVERY DROP OF EGYPTIAN BLOOD IS PRECIOUS, ETC.”
Nauseatingly predictable cowardice! Where is the coveted martyrdom? Why do you stress your love for Egypt and fear for it? Is there any other way that Egyptians are unaware of?
I bet he will be arrested no matter what he says. The authorities SHOULD BE on the vindictive side to spread the fear of God into the blackened hearts of the Arab nomadic FOREIGNERS!
