America's top diplomat John Kerry appears to have developed a bleeding heart of emotional concern for Syria. So too have his British and French counterparts.
After nearly five years of relentless killing, destruction and suffering in Syria, the Western leaders are saying it's now time for peace -- and hence the talks in Vienna, convened primarily at the behest of Kerry's shuttle diplomacy last week.
"It's time to stop the bleeding and to start the building," said the US Secretary of State in the Austrian capital. Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov featured prominently at the summit, which was also attended by arch-rivals Saudi Arabia and Iran. Delegates are to meet in the next two weeks to pursue, allegedly, a political resolution of the Syrian conflict.
Anyone with an informed understanding of the war in Syria will not buy Kerry's "bleeding heart" for peace. Nor that of Washington's lackeys, including Britain, France, Turkey, or the Gulf Arab monarchies Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
These countries have been responsible for instigating and fuelling a covert war for regime change in Syria. An entirely criminal enterprise that has been instrumented by funding, arming and training an array of foreign mercenary armies comprising some of the most blood-thirsty terror groups on the planet. The notion peddled by the Western news media of "moderate rebels" is an execrable fiction that belies the truth of how Washington and its allies have attempted to destroy Syria and terrorize the population into submitting to their objective of overthrowing the elected government of President Bashar al-Assad.
"World powers in quest for peace," intones the BBC, with the typical whitewashing service of the incredulous Western media.
The Western powers have drenched Syria in blood since March 2011. The regime-change conspiracy has been well documented. Former French Foreign Minister Roland Dumas disclosed in 2013 that he was approached by British officials back in 2009 -- two years before the conflict erupted -- with the proposition of a secret plot to overthrow Assad. To his credit Dumas refused, knowing that it was a criminal interference in a sovereign state.
British-based academic Sharmine Narwani, reporting from Syria, has compiled how the initial protests were infiltrated by armed agents who shot down protesters and Syrian state forces -- thus sparking what the Western media mendaciously refer to as a "civil war" and "pro-democracy uprising." There was no such thing. It was a US-led subversion from the outset, the kind of black ops that the Western imperialist powers specialize in. A relevant recent example is the CIA-sponsored coup in Ukraine which was consummated by the notorious sniper massacre in Kiev on February 20, 2014.
American, British, French and Turk special forces have been embedded in Syria from the get-go. Saudi Arabia and Qatar have funnelled billions of dollars worth of weapons into the country to fuel the "jihadists." The CIA has delivered anti-tank TOW missiles, as well as the finest Toyota jeeps to transport the mercenary armies, who openly wave Al Qaeda and Islamic State flags. We could go on. The ratlines have been well covered elsewhere.
So, are we to seriously believe that at this late hour, Washington and its minions are suddenly overcome with humanitarian concern for Syria? Only perhaps if you rely on the New York Times, CNN, BBC, the Guardian and so on for "news" -- which translated from Orwellian speak into plain language means "shameless propaganda."
This, by the way, is why the US and its lackeys are gunning for Russian media outlets. Because the Russian media are actually providing a proper journalistic information service, exposing the criminal fraudulence and terror-sponsorship of Western governments in the Syria mayhem.
Anyway, back to the bleeding hearts of Kerry, Hammond and Fabius. What is really jerking this triumvirate of rogues into convening "peace talks" is this: Russia's military intervention in Syria, beginning on September 30, is wiping out the Western-sponsored terror armies. Over 1,600 targets smashed over the past month. Russia is doing what the Western powers claimed that they were doing for the past year (another cynical ruse laundered by the Western media.)
Kerry wants to stop the bleeding alright -- the bleeding of regime-change mercenaries that the West and its Turk and Arab clients have invested in over the past five years.
In desperation, the Western powers are now turning to the political lever, as opposed to their soon-to-be defunct covert military lever.
The "political process" that the West has belatedly adopted is being pursued now to achieve their objective of regime change in Syria by other means, because the military means are being pulverized by Vladimir Putin's bold intervention.
Washington and its cronies are pushing for a ceasefire, elections and a "political transition." Saudi Arabia and Qatar advocating elections?
Come off it. These despots behead and crucify anyone calling for elections in their own feudalistic Western-backed fiefdoms.
