| 2015-03-04 |
| [Hurriyet Daily News] The United States will be ready to "protect" moderate Syrian rebels possibly with air power once they enter into combat, a top US official said March 2. Retired US general John Allen, President Barack Obama My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it... 's envoy to the international coalition fighting the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), insisted that once moderate Syrian rebels were vetted, trained and armed, they would not be abandoned on the battlefield. "It is clearly part of our plan, that not only we will train them, and we will equip them with the latest weapons systems, but we will also protect them when the time comes," Allen said at an event organized by the Atlantic Council think tank in Washington. Asked if the Syrian rebels would be asked to fight without air cover or a no-fly zone, Allen said "all of those things are under consideration." "So it's important that you not believe that we would not support these fighters," he said. |

| #6 Again, what Anti-US US Globalist POTUS Obama + Aligned does is INTENTIONAL, albeit this is not to argue there won't be minor "defects" which occur. As a reminder, CLINTON 90's + EARLY POST-9-11 =.. > The US-N-Only-the-US, as led by its "Arrogant Fascist Male Brutes" [read, GOP-Right = "Bully" Right] must be "RESTRAINED AND CONTROLLED". > the US-N-Only-the-US is supposed to "aborb" a Terror attack(s) widout resort to responding wid its overwhelming military power, etc. By the above, ANTI-US OWG GLOBALISM > its ergo okay for the US-n-Only-the-US to "tolerate" harsh criticisms as it unilaterally gives up, pulls back, or otherwise engages in strategic or MilPol-Geopol retreats around the World, so that its OWG Co-Superpower siblings Russia, China, + Iran, Other? can rise to PARITY. THE ABOVE CO-SUPERPOWER SIBLINGS CAN'T RISE IFF THE US DOES NOT SELF-RETREAT, CORRECT??? |

| #3 Nobody trusts the current regime. They trust us individually (as in trusting individual trainers and advisers), but as a nation, not at all. They know that even the best and most loyal of us will still have to obey legal but stupid orders while serving under the flag. |

| #2 It pains me to say this, but at this point, why would anyone trust American promises or security guarantees? |
