Is this some kind of a Joke?

So the Syrians are basically giving the Iraqis the air support that the US Administration is REFUSING TO GIVE, and the US warns Syria? It sounds like the Syrians are doing a job the Administration doesn't want to do, for them. Assuming that the Administration would like to keep Iraq as an ally.

INSANE.

Please read the two paragraphs from the story I have posted before, which appear in their original order with no editing:


BAGHDAD (AP) -- Syrian warplanes bombed Sunni militants' positions inside Iraq, military officials confirmed Wednesday, deepening the concerns that the extremist insurgency that spans the two neighboring countries could morph into an even wider regional conflict. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry warned against the threat and said other nations should stay out.


Meanwhile, a new insurgent artillery offensive against Christian villages in the north of Iraq sent thousands of Christians fleeing from their homes, seeking sanctuary in Kurdish-controlled territory, Associated Press reporters who witnessed the scene said.


So, the Syrians are bombing these ISIS types, who are in the middle of attacking Christian villages full of Civilians, and John Kerry is warning SYRIA? What planet is this?

Listen carefully, little human. Your government is not your government. All those pink perambulating blobs that you call "Senator" and "Congressman" are meaningless, impotent; the shadow government is here.

The slickness of the ISIS PR campaign reeks of CIA and Madison Avenue. A re-packaged Al CIA-duh.

They don't want their creatures bombed.

Oh and by the way, have you noticed that they have totally opened the US southern borders? High Treason.

Kerry has to maintain the company line where Iraq is the stable,
pluralistic democracy whilst Syria is a dangerous rogue state
threatening the stability of entire region by violating sovereignity of
other countries. Such positions can't be instantly dismissed however
obsolete they become.

Of course, Kerry's statement looks even more ridiculous in light of
al-Maliki's statement immediately afterwards:

-Maliki "welcomes Syrian airstrikes against ISIS"
-Iraq has ordered Russian Sukhois which should arrive "within 2-3 days"
(apparently Su-25's from Russia and Belarus).
-he complains about F-16 deal, saying that they were "deluded to sign it"

Maliki's days are soon to end as he doesn't have any side that sides
with him these days. It looks like the leading Muslim Leaders of all
sides wants him gone. Very soon, the parliament will meet and kick his
ass out.

It seems to be the case. The inertia here is amazing.

Facepalm. It is getting past the point of a couple accidental steps after so much time here.

First Syria is tight with Russia, now both Russia and Syria take the ally spot with Iraq being vacated (Will Kerry threaten Iraq for buying Russian jets?) With the added benefit that Iraq and Syria used to be tight in the Saddam days, not to mention Russia, but now they are all tied in with Iran as well where Saddam and Iran were terrible rivals. This is beyond any botch-up I could have imagined a few years ago.

To think a squadron of planes or a few drones a few months ago, plus a little behind the scenes pressure and realpolitik, could have prevented this, and that Russia has been the one to save Syria's bacon and by default now is back into Iraq. The Administration is effectively making Putin look like a good guy in the Mideast and like the prime mover in Europe. It started with the red line moment and has progressed since. Not to mention the Egypt situation, where the Muslim Brotherhood were rejected by the Egyptians and the Egyptian military also looked to Russia for aid in the event that the US refused to help them against terror attacks in the Sinai and elsewhere by providing equipment.

Not to mention that an alliance of Syria, Iraq and Iran, backed by Russia, is in one heck of a geopolitical spot to cause a lot of people to get the worries. It is proving the theory that if the US diminishes her role, the order that will replace that is not something a lot of folks would like to live with. I have to give credit to Russia though, Jihadists are nasty business and if the Russians want to help in the fight against them, more power to the Russians. The downside is Iran and Syria having a much bigger presence in the region, and Iraq joining them in an alliance after the US put so much into securing one of our own with Iraq. What was won and built on the battlefield is being given away by simple inaction. That some of the steps that could be taken are relatively simple and not hard to figure out makes me wonder what the goals are in this Foreign Policy Team.

I also wonder if the US stopped arming "Syrian Rebels" yet.

Actually, the Shi'ites, the majority of Iraq's population, are backing him. Plus Syria, Iran and Russia. Also the Kurds, as ISIS isn't really buddies with the Kurds right now. It is also likely that many Sunnis who don't like what the Jihadis are doing will get on board with him too as the alternative is mass killing and Sharia law.

It is also likely other world powers, not necessarily western ones, but ones nonetheless, will see him as a source of stability in a resource rich region as opposed to the ISIS folks. Those folks would likely be willing to provide backing, through oil deals at the very least and possibly through other methods of support as well.

YEsterday, the leading Shiite Cleric stated that it would be best if
Maliki were to be no longer running the country.

"America Deluded Us" Slams Angry Iraq PM, Will Buy Russian Jets Instead In War Against ISIS

"...What it really means is that Obama has asked, and is about to get $500 million more to arm ISIS and its al-Qaeda peers in Syria, which in turn the Iraq air force will now use Russian jets to bomb."

John Kerry and John McCain, same politics, same pro Shitrael treason. Both scum buckets should be treated the same way Saddam Hussein was.

I would put every Senator and Congressman, past and present, on trial. Aside from some tea-party newcomers and (of course)Ron Paul,and a handful of genuine, deluded liberals.. I would find them guilty of HIGH TREASON AGAINST THE REPUBLIC and hang them high, each and every one.

I agree with your comment about some genuine deluded liberals. I withdraw my comment about John McCain and John Kerry being treated like Saddam Hussein. Although they would deserve this kind of horrific execution, they deserve to be tried and if found guilty hung in a dignified manner. The honour of the firing squad shall however be denied them.

The mess in Syria, the suffering of minorities such as Christians and Zoastrians is to be blamed on traitors such as McCain and liberal Jew Boy hypocrite Kerry.

With an adequate lawyer, McCain might well get off on grounds of insanity.
