The Obama administration has agreed to provide aid to the Syrian rebels, and said that this aid would be direct humanitarian and communications assistance. This is a change in the supposed policy, but the administration said that no military aid would be forthcoming, and that there was no military option now on the table.
My belief is that the U.S. has been involved all along, and is most likely the driver in the efforts to prosecute regime change in Syria, just as recently happened in Libya. Many of the same rebels who were in Libya are most likely involved in the Syrian mess, and they certainly have been linked to al Qaeda and other terrorist groups. This has been well documented, and even the U.S. State Department called the Libyan rebels terrorists. So why is the U.S. government and its military supporting these rebels? In my opinion, they are being used as tools of force and propaganda in the U.S. commitment to regime change in that region. The probable truth is hidden from the sheep, but there is much more to these so-called opposition fighters than meets the eye.
The U.S. government would like nothing better than to get rid of the Assad regime and replace it with a U.S. friendly puppet regime, especially since Assad is so close to hated Iran. Any interference or support by the U.S. in this Syrian “uprising” will simply imbed us deeper into the conflict. I think the U.S. government is already in neck deep, but even if this were not the case, these policy changes will in effect make it so.
U.S. involvement will have serious consequences, and will most likely lead next to an attempted regime change in Iran. This imperial conquest by the U.S. is obvious now, and I see no slow down in this immoral aggression. The U.S. is and has been aligning with terrorists in order to affect regime change in the Middle East, but are these bed partners so different? I think not!
