The rule of thumb that once governed enemy identification no longer holds. Islamic State didn’t earn its certified of U.S. enemy status until it attacked U.S. ally Iraq and issued a promise to destroy America. The CIA has already trained 4,000 of IS foes in the Free Syrian Army, which isn’t a friendly gesture. But then IS & FSA appeared to be allies. Complicating Islamic State’s enemy status is its recent threat to topple Russia, whose revived imperialism has put it back on the U.S. enemy list. Russia supports Syria. United States is cooperating with Iran, previously U.S. Enemy No. 1, to punish the Islamic State.
Why we have been asked to not be involved by the ANIC Andrew Bolt ?
- IS is an enemy of the US because it attacked Iraq and threatened America
- IS has threatened Russia as it supports Syria (Assad)
- US trained the FSA which attacks Syria and IS
- IS has never fought Syria but says it supports FSA against Syria
- US is cooperating with Iran it’s sworn enemy.
- US is being helped by the Kurds enemies of Iraq and IS
- Iraq army divisions have joined IS supplying military hardware
- Christians and Yazidis supported Iraq and are now enemies of SI
- Sunni tribes have varied and wavering loyalties depending on the tribes interest at the time
- Now if that’s not complicated enough there are AAE’s there are Allies Adversaries and Enemies one and the same time.
- Pakistan, long-time beneficiary of U.S. aid and its proxy in various Afghanistan war campaigns (during which Pakistan both supported the Taliban and sometimes fought against them) and also supports Islamic forces militarily opposed to the United States. Additionally, it harbored Osama bin Laden, who was killed there by invading U.S. troops who declined to notify the Pakistanis of their mission.
- Saudi Arabia, which the United States has long protected, but whose “petrodollars funded schools, charities, and other institutions that spread the intolerant and frequently violent Wahhabi creed,” and Qatar, which hosts U.S. military bases, also had an “undeniable preference during the Arab Uprisings for supporting Islamist groups,” has hosted and backed Hamas, and supported 9/11 conspirator Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
The case for non-intervention is never more clear than when a country can’t accurately predict the outcome (successful or otherwise) of its military action, its military aid, or other “partnering.” Will intervention in these Arab wars only extend the bloodshed? Only establish new tyrants? Create new AAEs? If a trillion dollars worth of military intervention over a decade by the United States failed to accomplish its goals in Iraq, what are the chances that less pricey interventions will succeed? The moral certainty has become less automatic. The United States can’t possibly intervene in every region where injustice, murder, military aggression, and pillage take place. So why exactly must it join the Arab world’s great civil wars?
Andrew Bolt the wanna be Yoda of the press says it’s simple “feel the Force Tony feel the Force” It’s Islam.
It’s exactly this that makes him a moral moron. In truth he doesn’t give a rats arse what’s happening in the Middle East it’s not his job. In truth The Australian National Islamic Council press release as wise as it is and cares about what’s happening is turned into an opportunity for Bolt to continue the lies fuel the fire of abuse the division that’s the engine for Tony Abbott’s deflection from National issues.
