Syria arming Gadhafi?
In an earlier post, I reported on the possibility that Syrian pilots are in the service of Muammar Gadhafi's regime in Libya. Now, a report from a Syrian dissident group indicates that Syria is providing Gadhafi with arms as well. Sources close to RPS have disclosed that Assad of Syria is sending arms to Qaddafi of Libya to kill his people with. It is not enough for Assad to kill Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, Israelis, and Americans, now this Damascene Dracula is thirsty for Libyan blood.Read the whole thing.
There are also rumors circulating Assad is arming the Islamists in the hope the oil fields they capture will play an important role in extending the Iranian-Syrian axis of evil. But, there is no confirmation to this rumor.
Some believe Assad is following someone else ‘s orders. A higher authority that keeps him in power and protects his rule from ever being dismantled. We, at RPS, believe he is acting alone for fear that if the Libyan people win after facing such violence by their oppressor, the Syrian people will sacrifice their lives for a better Syria. Assad is reasoning Qaddafi must win to discourage the Syrians from any reckless behavior such as seeking freedom, democracy, and accountability.
But the Syrian dissident community is mostly watching a White House whose leadership is literally like trainees learning on the job. If it took president Obama 2 years to finally concede that the Bush-Cheney team had it right on Guantanamo, our hope it will take him even less to concede that negotiating with the likes of Assad and Ahmadinajead is a dead-end street. We are not holding our breath though.
