After first strikes in Syria, US looks to a long mission; Takes on another foe, citing threat" by Craig Witlock | Washington Post September 24, 2014
That is odd because my printed article carries the byline Peter Baker and Helene Cooper of the New York Times.
According to Witlock, "the Obama administration may find itself acting largely on its own" and the Khorasan has been destroyed just as an imminent attack was forthcoming (pfffft).
"In Airstrikes, US Targets Cell Said to Plot an Attack" by PETER BAKER and HELENE COOPER, New York Times, September 23, 2014
They bombed a "little-known network called Khorasan in the hope that they had killed Muhsin al-Fadhli, the leader of Khorasan and a onetime confidant of Osama bin Laden."

‘‘There are remnants of core Al Qaeda still left that are still a very potent threat. What this shows is that Al Qaeda has not been decimated.’’
The goal is to "attempt to blow up an airplane in flight" after I was told all this time Obummer had degraded them.
More fiction:
WASHINGTON —The officials said they had been contemplating military action against Khorasan in recent months, but President Obama’s decision to hit the Islamic State’s forces inside Syria provided a chance to neutralize the other perceived threat.
So it's ISIS, Al-CIA-Duh, and the Khorasan.
The Muslims are coming, the Muslims are coming -- unless we kill them all first!
Several officials said Khorasan had an advanced plan for an attack involving a bomb that could pass undetected through airport security systems, perhaps by lacing nonmetallic objects like toothpaste tubes and clothes with explosive material. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said the concerns about Khorasan were behind a decision last summer to ban uncharged laptop computers and cellphones from some United States-bound commercial airliners.
I just shit my pants laughing.
The air campaign against Khorasan and the Islamic State got underway even as Mr. Obama flew to New York to meet with world leaders gathering for the opening session of the United Nations General Assembly.
Thanks for helping out with the global warming problem by adding more greenhouse gases, sphincter!
Mr. Obama did not seek United Nations permission for the military campaign, but he presented the strikes as the collaboration of a multinational coalition that included five Arab nations: Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain.
As if that Potemkin coalition makes its all legal.
“Because of the almost unprecedented effort of this coalition, I think we now have an opportunity to send a very clear message that the world is united,” Mr. Obama said during a hastily arranged photo opportunity in New York with Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi of Iraq, King Abdullah II of Jordan and representatives of the other Arab allies.
Yeah, thanks for helping to create them.
Still, the bulk of the military efforts were conducted by American forces, and reaction in the Middle East was mixed.
I was led to believe we had support from all quarters.
President Hassan Rouhani of Iran, which is allied with the government of President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, said the airstrikes were illegal because they were not conducted with the approval of Syria’s government, a point later echoed by President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, another ally of Syria’s.
Related: RUSSIA SHOULD HIT ISIS IN SYRIA!
The Syrian government itself seemed more accepting, probably because it was glad to see military power brought to bear against forces that have been fighting Mr. Assad and recently killed many of his soldiers. The Syrian Foreign Ministry said the government “backs any international effort that contributes to the fight against terrorists,” whether it is the Islamic State, the Nusra Front “or anyone else.”

While they buy terrorist oil?
Samantha Power, the American ambassador to the United Nations, informed her Syrian counterpart about the strikes ahead of time, but did not seek permission or disclose the timing or targets.
Then it's a war crime.
“In fact, we warned them to not pose a threat to our aircraft,” said Benjamin J. Rhodes, the president’s deputy national security adviser. Mr. Rhodes said Mr. Obama issued the order for the strikes on Thursday, a day after visiting the United States Central Command headquarters in Tampa that would carry out the operation.
In his public appearances on Tuesday, Mr. Obama cautioned again that the campaign against the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, would take time. He also cited the strike on Khorasan, the first time he has mentioned the group in public.
This will be his legacy, the beginning of the Third World War.
***************
Most officials speaking publicly on Tuesday characterized the Khorasan threat as imminent. Lt. Gen. William C. Mayville Jr., who is in charge of operations for the Pentagon’s Joint Staff, said the terrorist group was nearing “the execution phase of an attack either in Europe or the homeland.”
Really? But you don't know where, when, or how?
But one senior counterterrorism official, who insisted on anonymity to discuss intelligence matters, said the group might not have chosen the target, method or even the timing for a strike.
Oh, no, this was ALL BOOGA-BOOGA BULLS***!!
An intelligence official said separately that the group was “reaching a stage where they might be able to do something.”
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!
They "might be able to do something," huh?
Khorasan is closely allied with the Nusra Front, which is Al Qaeda’s designated affiliate in Syria, according to American intelligence officials.
Nusra are the moderate rebels compared to ISIS. No, wait....
The group, they said, is made up of Qaeda operatives from places like Pakistan, Afghanistan, North Africa and Chechnya who have traveled to Syria on the orders of Ayman al-Zawahri, the Qaeda leader.
It is CIA-Duh mercenaries, all right!
Also see: ISRAEL AND ITS MAD MOSLEMS
Zawahri is one!
Mr. Holder told Katie Couric of Yahoo News that the United States has followed the group for two years....
Yahoo news is right!
The strikes on Tuesday were aimed at the group’s leaders, including Mr. Fadhli, a Kuwaiti associate of Bin Laden’s who moved to Syria last year.
He's a Kuwaiti?! C'mon!!!!
Officials said they were not certain if he had been killed, but Twitter accounts associated with jihadi groups said that he and another Khorasan leader, Abu Yusef al-Turki, had died in the airstrikes.
SIGH!
Related: Pentagon Claims Strike On Imaginary Group Killed Another Imaginary Leader
One Twitter user said that by killing Mr. Fadhli, the United States had “presented him a great wish and a most honorable gift” of martyrdom, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors militant groups’ social media postings.
Meaning this is ALL CRAP!
See: SITE Institute
Jewish Media Group, SITE, is the first to release another Islamic threat video
And they came up with this, huh?
IS ISRAEL CONTROLLING PHONY TERROR NEWS?
It's their agenda that is reflected in my newspaper.
Lawmakers and terrorism experts said that even if Mr. Fadhli had been killed, it would not necessarily derail the group’s ambitions.
PFFFFFFT!
“Fadhli is certainly one of the most capable of the Al Qaeda core members,” said Representative Adam B. Schiff, a California Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. “His loss would be significant, but as we’ve seen before, any decapitation is only a short-term gain. The hydra will grow another head.”
Congressional leaders largely rallied behind the strikes, including Republicans who oppose the president on most other issues, although some of them still faulted his strategy and many disagreed on whether he needed approval by lawmakers.
Yup, no messy partisanship when it comes to war.
The administration contends he does not need new action by Congress because of the authorization it passed targeting Al Qaeda and affiliates after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001....
That rationale for authorization lapsed long ago.
The participation of the five Arab countries may bolster Mr. Obama’s argument that the campaign does not pit the United States against the Sunni Muslim world, but is, rather, a broad alliance of Sunni Muslim countries against a radical group. Some of the Arab participants, especially Qatar and Saudi Arabia, have been heavily involved in Syria’s civil war, so joining the coalition was merely a more direct form of intervention.
I sure wish Qatar and Saudi Arabia hadn't helped create ISIS and the rest, and what makes you guys think you are safe once EUSrael is done with Syria and Iraq?
"U.S. officials suggest that the biggest share of the individual donations supporting ISIS and the most radical groups comes from Qatar rather than Saudi Arabia, and that the Qatari government has done less to stop the flow than its neighbors in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates."
Related: Qatar says it won't liberate Europe from dependency on precarious Russian gas
And now the Zionist War Press is saying they behind ISIS and the rest!
Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Bahrain worry that their citizens who joined the Islamic State’s forces will later return and plot attacks at home. “This is the right way to do it, if you want to defeat the Islamic State, because you cannot cut off the tail and leave the head,” said Ebtesam al-Ketbi, the chairwoman of the Emirates Policy Center. “And everyone is participating, so no one can accuse the United States alone.”
But evident elsewhere in the region was a familiar current of cynicism about the motives behind the strikes.
Yeah, the WHOLE WORLD SEES WHAT IS GOING ON despite the ma$$ media obfuscation.
The United States and its allies “want to divide our lands, destroy our nations, occupy our homelands and monopolize our choices, without shedding one drop of their blue blood,” Massoud al-Hennawi wrote in a column in Al Ahram, a state-run newspaper in Egypt.
About it, yeah.

"In ISIS fight, much in Syria rests on allies on ground" by Bryan Bender | Globe Staff September 24, 2014
And who might they be?
WASHINGTON — The participation of five Arab countries in the Syria strikes was seen by specialists as a significant step in building that international coalition. It sends a clear signal that even the terrorists’ fellow Sunni Muslims see them as a threat and are prepared to confront them.
Unless they decide not to cut off customers to send gas to Europe.
************
At the same time, Pentagon officials have said the Syrian rebels may not be armed and trained for up to a year — and even then may not be large enough or even willing to confront the Islamic State. Its primary enemy in Syria has been the regime of President Bashar Assad.
Meaning the EUSraeli-created ISIS and the rest will continue to be everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
See: US Bombed ‘Empty Buildings’ in Airstrikes on ISIL in Syria
The terrorists were GIVEN WARNING to EVACUATE?
“The current plan appears to turn not on the participation of any American or allied ground units, but eventually on some 5,000 moderate Syrian rebels who will be trained over the next year,” Richard Fontaine, president of the Center for a New American Security, said Tuesday.
Related: Center for a New American Security
It's a neo-liberal think thank staffed by former Obummer officials!!
“This contingent, presumably backed by American air power, will be expected to combat up to 30,000 ISIS fighters while evading Bashar Assad’s air force,” Fontaine said.
How can they know how many ISIS fighters when they know next to nothing else about them?
Oh, right, they trained them.
Facing such tough odds might eventually increase the need for ground forces from the United States or elsewhere, he wrote.
Did you see that?!!
Maintaining broader support in the region could also prove challenging, especially if the conflict lasts many months and exacerbates the humanitarian crisis in both Iraq and Syria.
Okay, it already has exacerbated the refugee situation and EVEN the AmeriKan government is saying this will be YEARS!!! Here we are not even three days into it and ALREADY SUPPORT is FADING!
The enlisting of several key Arab militaries — including dozens of other nations that have pledged financial and humanitarian assistance, in addition to the Arab nations that participated in the strikes — was seen as a key diplomatic victory.
A senior State Department official said the Arab coalition coalesced during a trip to the region this month by Secretary of State John F. Kerry, who considered it vital to get Saudi Arabia to participate.
Kerry failed to enlist Turkey in the airstrikes, even though it is a key US ally that shares the longest border with Syria and has been criticized for buying oil sold by the Islamic State.
That's actually a lie because flights have been seen leaving from Turkish bases although they are buying the oil (U.S. looking other way). The Turks obviously need politic cover. What a bunch of scum they are.
Kerry said in a speech in New York on Tuesday that he remained confident Turkey would be “very engaged on the front lines.”
Related: Turkish army to be authorized in Iraq and Syria
Didn't take long.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, in New York for meetings at the United Nations, said Tuesday that he was considering expanding the support for Western and Arab operations against the Islamic State to include military involvement, the AP reported.
One key regional player not on the US list of allies is Iran, which is a Shi’ite Muslim country and has supported the Assad regime.
They are due for attack after Syria.
Iran does not have diplomatic relations with the United States and is not being treated as a partner even though it also sees the Sunni militants as a threat.

"Startling sight where blasts are the norm" by Ben Hubbard | New York Times September 24, 2014
BEIRUT — At least one of the strikes killed civilians as well, raising suspicions of US motives even among those who said they were otherwise happy to see the Islamic State pushed back.
There is no avoiding it, and my Jewish War Press will keep that talk to a minimum.
“We know the history of American strikes in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Yemen,” said Ziad al-Ali, an unemployed university graduate in Raqqa. “When civilians are going to be killed, sorry is not enough.”
It was hard to gauge Tuesday just how much the strikes had degraded the military capacity of the Islamic State or who was more likely to benefit, but the strikes added a volatile new element to the country’s 3½-year civil war, and signs emerged that alliances on the ground could shift in unexpected ways.
I'm sick of this crap.
***************
Even rebels who supported the strikes on the Islamic State criticized the targeting of the Nusra Front, which they consider a loyal partner in the battle against Assad.
“It is not the right time to target the Nusra Front,” said Lieutenant Colonel Fares al-Bayyoush, whose rebel group has received support from the United States and its allies.
Say again?
Bayyoush was also angry that the American strike had killed civilians and that the United States was not attacking Assad and his allies, like the Lebanese group Hezbollah, which Washington also classifies as a terrorist organization.
F*** him then.
“Isn’t Hezbollah a terrorist organization and the coalition wants to target all terrorist organizations in Syria?” he asked.
In some Syrian communities, the coalition strikes added a new level of uncertainty to their wartime lives.
Many who had grown accustomed to seeking cover from government airstrikes during the day now worried that they would have to avoid coalition strikes at night.
Thanks, Obummer.

"New jihad appeal makes policing even harder" by Elaine Ganley | Associated Press September 24, 2014
PARIS — The Islamic State group’s call on Muslims to go after the ‘‘filthy French’’ and other Westerners is seen as multiplying already deep security concerns in nations targeting the militant organization.
Phoque your fear-mongering bullish**!
The appeal made public Monday makes intelligence tracking of potential suspects virtually impossible, and opens up Muslims in the West to the possibility of being unfairly put under suspicion, officials said.
It's been that way for over a decade now. What's the big deal?
Nations are honing mechanisms to monitor Westerners who head to Syria or Iraq to fight in the jihad, the better to catch them when they return home with deadly skills. But how do you track someone who hears about the Islamic State group’s call through the news media, and then carries out a spontaneous attack?
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!
Where is the SERVER LOCATED!?
The AmeriKan media should be ASHAMED to ROLL OUT this TURD!
So WHEN is the NUKING of CHICAGO in a MASSIVE FALSE FLAG, huh?
Experts in terrorism agreed that the options to counteract the call on all Muslims to kill are virtually nil, beyond bolstering the visibility of security forces, thus allowing them to act quickly if need be.
OMG, what agenda-pushing shit!!!!!!!!!
‘‘We are not waging a war between East and West, or Christianity and Islam,’’ France’s prime minister, Manuel Valls, said Tuesday. The French government says what it calls the ‘‘butchers’’ of the Islamic State group don’t represent Islam. But Valls said France is facing an unprecedented challenge from ‘‘the enemy within.’’
‘‘We have compatriots who could strike us,’’ he said on Europe-1 radio.
SEE: All Wars Are Bankers' Wars
The TRUE THREAT!
On Friday, France became the first country to join the United States in carrying out airstrikes in Iraq. With the largest Muslim population in Western Europe, an estimated 5 million, France also counts the highest number of citizens and residents who have turned to jihad in Syria and Iraq — more than 900 people en route or planning to go.
France has increased security around places of worship, airports, and symbolic locations after the first airstrikes.

As if we needed any more.
The Islamic State’s sweeping appeal in an audio statement implored Muslims to ‘‘not let this battle pass you by, wherever you may be.’’
The statement, issued by spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, asked Muslims to use all means to kill a ‘‘disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian or a Canadian,’’ or anyone whose country has joined the campaign to disable and destroy the Islamic State group.
Muslims in the West could become the collateral damage, stigmatized as potential extremists, as they have after past attacks. But this time they could fall under suspicion even if nothing happens.
At least they are being warned about the next wave of oppression they will confront in the "free" West.
The United Nations Security Council is expected to adopt a binding resolution this week that would require nations to bar their citizens from traveling abroad to join extremist organizations.
Then the CIA will have to stop sending them.
But it doesn’t address what to do with radicals who stay at home but espouse the Islamic State group’s goals. The Obama administration, which has championed the measure, acknowledges that it has no enforcement mechanism.

They are in BOSTON!
"Boston to host anti-extremist pilot program; Aims to deter recruitment by violent groups" by Shelley Murphy | Globe Staff September 24, 2014
I reported that on Tuesday, and I'm not surprised Boston was selected.
Boston is among three cities where the Justice Department will launch a pilot program aimed at deterring US residents from joining violent extremist groups, according to federal and local authorities.
Then stop having your FBI set them up.
The office of US Attorney Carmen Ortiz offered few details about the program, but said in a statement Tuesday that it was “aimed at countering violent extremism using prevention and intervention-based approaches.”
More tyranny over a self-created and fake threat.
Boston was chosen “for the strength of our existing relationships, community engagement and community oriented policing programs,” the statement said.
And other reasons.
The program, first announced last week by US Attorney General Eric Holder, will also be launched in Los Angeles and Minneapolis. Holder said pilot programs in cities across the country will be run in partnership with the White House, Department of Homeland Security, and National Counterterrorism Center. The White House is hosting a Countering Violent Extremism summit in October.
Is this false flag terror attack that destroys Chicago before that?
The pilot program comes as the Islamic State militant group that has occupied parts of Syria and Iraq has been aggressively recruiting members on social media, and a number of Americans have traveled overseas to join the Islamic State and other militant groups.
Ahmad Abousamra, who grew up in Stoughton and allegedly fled to Syria in 2006 after being questioned by authorities, faces terrorism charges in federal court in Boston and was placed on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist list last year.
Word is he has possession of chemical weapons, too.
“It is no secret men and women from across the United States have traveled to Syria and other countries in support of terrorism, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is not unlike any other state,” Vincent Lisi, the special agent in the charge of the FBI’s Boston office said in a statement Tuesday. “We will take every step possible to deal with such travelers.”
So all the surveillance and security isn't worth a damn, huh?
Will have to SCRAP IT after the NEXT FAILURE THEN!
But Lisi said the selection of Boston did not suggest that there was an organized network for travelers from Massachusetts to Syria or Iraq.
No, ours is a Russian connection based on the framed patsies of the Marathon.
“We have no information to suggest there is a structured network or mechanism to move people to the battlefields,” Lisi said.
Then there is not one!
Boston Police Commissioner William Evans said the Justice Department’s new initiative “is about community policing and relationship building. And, given our success and proven track record in those areas, we look forward to playing a part in support of the program.”
Be a good East German.
The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and local law enforcement have launched numerous initiatives since the Sept 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, all of which are aimed at forging partnerships with the Muslim community and various community and religious groups.
Is that why they send infiltrators into mosques to try and create trouble?
The latest initiative will bring law enforcement, educators, mental health and public health professionals, and religious and community leaders together in an effort to share information, according to Marc Raimondi, a Justice Department spokesman.
“The intent is to identify and confront radicalization and deter it at the earliest possible point,” Raimondi said.
Maybe the CIA and its Arab allies could stop creating them.
Hina Shamsi, director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s national security project, voiced concerns about the new initiative.
“Our concerns are with counterterrorism policies and programs that incorrectly target entire communities based on religion, race and ethnic origin,” Shamsi said.
Related: NYPD Now a National Police Force
They didn't spy on who?
“Encouraging communities to report to law enforcement when young people are engaged in religious activities, exploring faith, exploring their views on what exists in the world, raises significant concerns about targeting people not because they’ve done anything wrong, but putting them in the impossible position of proving they are not a threat.”
Forget innocent until proven guilty. That is only for certain chosen intere$ts in out Amerikan JU$tus $y$tem.
Mike German, a former FBI agent and ACLU staffer who is now a fellow with the Brennan Center for Justice’s Liberty and National Security Program, said he is troubled by government initiatives aimed at uncovering radicalization.
“It targets people who are critical of things like US government policy,” German said. “That says nothing about whether someone is going to be committing unlawful activity.”
I must be on the list because I have COMPLETELY DISOWNED this government.
He added, “This program is built on a false premise that these very bad things, acts of violence, terrorism, are somehow predictable. Mathematically, it’s just not so.”
So is the whole "war on terror," as well as all the other wars Americans have been lied into over the centuries.
Former Boston Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis said it is difficult for law enforcement to identify homegrown, potential terrorists.
PFFFFFT!
“Our role at the local level is to do as much outreach as possible,” Davis said. “The better relations you have with a broad swath in the community, the better you are to prevent things.”

"Suspected kidnappers killed by Israeli forces" by William Booth and Ruth Eglash | Washington Post September 24, 2014
HEBRON, West Bank — Israeli forces shot and killed two Hamas operatives Tuesday who are suspected of kidnapping and killing three Israeli teenagers this summer.
Except it was not them! ISIS claimed responsibility, and Israel attacked Gaza!
These was nothing but an ISRAELI ASSASSINATIONS!
The abduction of the three Jewish students in the West Bank, and the Israeli military’s mass arrests of Hamas members that followed, was part of a cascade of events that led to the 50-day war in Gaza, one of the bloodiest in years of conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.

Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner, an Israeli military spokesman, said the two suspects were surrounded by Israeli forces at a carpentry workshop in Hebron, where they had been hiding for a week. He said an exchange of gunfire occurred and that Marwan Kawasmeh, 29, and Amer Abu Aisha, 32, were killed as they exited the building.
A neighboring shopkeeper said Israeli special forces units arrived about 3 a.m. and began an assault on the building, which was charred with smoke from a raging fire. The merchant said one of the suspects was fatally shot in the street and the other found dead and burned in the basement.
Then one wasn't killed while exiting. Don't tell me Israel lied again!
‘‘We went in understanding that they intended to fight, and they came out with guns blazing,’’ Lerner said.
The second man ran back into the building, apparently wounded, and the Israelis threw in grenades, Lerner said, igniting a fire.

So when does Israel invade Syria?
"Israel shoots down Syrian fighter jet over Golan Heights" by Ruth Eglash and William Booth | Washington Post September 24, 2014
JERUSALEM — Israel’s military said it shot down a Syrian fighter jet Tuesday after the aircraft strayed less than a mile into airspace that Israel controls over the Golan Heights.
Turkey once claimed that, and then it was found out the plane was on the Syrian side.
One general rule of thumb when reading the Zionist War Press: Israeli claims are usually bogus.
The Syrian government made no official condemnation. The Syrian crew safely ejected. Israeli officials said they assumed that the warplane had made a mistake, albeit one they would not allow to go unpunished.
What assholes! If out was a mistake or error.... !!!!
This is NOW STINKING of LYING JEWISH WAR PROPAGANDA, period!
Military experts in Israel said it was the first time in nearly 30 years that Israel downed a Syrian attack aircraft, although a Syrian drone that entered Israeli-occupied territory last month was shot down.
So says the lying, obfuscation, and distorting Jewish War Pre$$.
The incident reflects how the Golan — captured by Israel in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war — is increasingly being drawn into the tensions in war-torn Syria amid the growing reach of Islamist militants who now control more than 90 percent of the Syrian-Israeli frontier.
And they have not attacked Israel?
(Actually, ISIS forces have been seen crossing back and forth. That's why the U.N. had to be removed).
The Israeli army fired a US-made Patriot surface-to-air missile at the Syrian jet, a Soviet-made Sukhoi-24. According to the Israeli military, the two Syrian crew members ejected and came down safely inside Syria.
But if they were in ISRAELI AIRSPACE.... ????????
OMG! This is ISRAELI PROPAGANDA passing itself off as NEWS!
Local media reported that the aircraft crashed near the Syrian town of Quneitra, controlled by Al Qaeda-linked rebels.
The official Syrian Arab News Agency quoted an anonymous Syrian military official as saying that by shooting down a Syrian jet, Israel was showing support for terrorist organizations such as the Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra.
Why not? They helped create and harbor them.
Moshe Maoz, a Syria expert at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, said the Syrian government has its hands full and will probably not respond to the downing of its warplane — in part out of fear of what a tough Israeli response could do to Syrian air bases.
Translation: they didn't take the provocative Israeli bait.
Since the civil war started in Syria more than three years ago, fighting on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights has regularly spilled over onto the Israeli side. The United Nations has monitored a demilitarized buffer zone in the area for 40 years.
Except they were removed.
See: Turkey Taking ISIS Syriausly
It is hard to take this seriously.
The Israeli military said it appeared the Syrian warplane was not targeting Israel but rebel forces that last month captured strategic points along the frontier between Israel and Syria.
So Syria was actually trying to help Israel.
Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon of Israel warned: ‘‘We won’t allow anybody, whether it’s a state or a terrorist organization, to threaten our security and violate our sovereignty.’’
As they VIOLATE the SOVEREIGNTY of THOSE AROUND THEM!
What CHUTZPAH!
Ram Shmueli, a brigadier general in the Israeli reserves and a former head of Israel’s air force intelligence, said Israel is facing threats all along its northern borders.
‘‘We are very much on alert to all types of drones, jets and airplanes, even civilian airliners like those used during 9/11,’’ said Shmueli, a fighter pilot for more than 35 years. ‘‘Although we are not part of this war, we have to keep the borders safe.’’
Except they are VERY MUCH A PART of the WAR, even if covertly, and the NEXT 9/11 FALSE FLAG ATTACK is ON THE WAY!
