| Lindsey Grahamnesty Lies About Putin, Syria & the Alawite Alliance |
| 2018-07-13 |
| [Umz Review] On just about every issue, in 2016, candidate Trump ran in opposition to Sen. Lindsey Graham. Donald Trump won the presidency; Lindsey Graham quit the race with a near-zero popularity, as reflected in the polls. The People certainly loathe the senator from South Carolina. A poll conducted subsequently found that Graham was among least popular senators. No wonder. Graham is reliably wrong about most things. But being both misguided and despised have done nothing to diminish Sen. Graham’s popularity with Big Media, left and right. Thus were his pronouncements accorded the customary reverence, during a July 10 segment, on Fox News’ "The Story." Which is when he told anchor Martha MacCallum that, "Putin is not doing anything good in Syria." Then again, Lindsey is being consistent. The revival of "one of the world’s oldest Christian communities," in Syria, is not something the senator we’ve come to know and loathe would celebrate. It’s true. "A new Syria is emerging from the rubble of war," reports The Economist, a magazine which is every bit as liberal and Russophobic as Graham and his political soul mate, John McCain, but whose correspondents on the ground‐in Aleppo, Damascus and Homs‐have a far greater fidelity to the truth than the terrible two. "In Homs, ... the Christian quarter is reviving. Churches have been lavishly restored; a large crucifix hangs over the main street." ’Groom of Heaven,’ proclaims a billboard featuring a photo of a Christian soldier killed in the seven-year conflict. And, in their sermons, Orthodox patriarchs praise Mr. Assad for saving ... the Christian communities." Don’t tell the ailing McCain. It’ll only make him miserable, but thanks to Putin, Assad "now controls Syria’s spine, from Aleppo in the north to Damascus in the south‐what French colonists once called la Syrie utile (useful Syria). The rebels are confined to pockets along the southern and northern borders." |
