Secretary of State John Kerry went to Iraq this weekend to meet with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and tersely request that he stop allowing Iran to use Iraqi airspace to send weapons and support to the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad. They shouldn’t be supporting one side in a civil war, Kerry insisted.
At the same time that Washington has the effrontery to make such a demand, the CIA is dramatically increasing its coordination of military aid to Syrian rebels through Arab regimes and Turkey. The New York Times:
With help from the C.I.A., Arab governments and Turkey have sharply increased their military aid to Syria’s opposition fighters in recent months, expanding a secret airlift of arms and equipment for the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad, according to air traffic data, interviews with officials in several countries and the accounts of rebel commanders.
The airlift, which began on a small scale in early 2012 and continued intermittently through last fall, expanded into a steady and much heavier flow late last year, the data shows. It has grown to include more than 160 military cargo flights by Jordanian, Saudi and Qatari military-style cargo planes landing at Esenboga Airport near Ankara, and, to a lesser degree, at other Turkish and Jordanian airports.
Even though the Obama administration publicly denounces the wisdom of sending anything but “non-lethal” aid to the mostly Sunni jihadist rebels, the Times reports, the CIA’s involvement in this secret program shows “that the United States is more willing to help its Arab allies support the lethal side of the civil war.”
From offices at secret locations, American intelligence officers have helped the Arab governments shop for weapons, including a large procurement from Croatia, and have vetted rebel commanders and groups to determine who should receive the weapons as they arrive, according to American officials speaking on the condition of anonymity. The C.I.A. declined to comment on the shipments or its role in them.
This ill-concealed hypocrisy isn’t new: it’s a replay of exactly the scenario that played out in Obama’s first term, when Secretary Clinton served the role of demanding Iraq and Iran stay out of Syria’s conflict, even as US/allied meddling increased.
Whatever this man dose privately is his business., but he shouldn't be where he is and what he says or do.., this man saying or doing is a insult to the "self described" liberals .., or even the falsified democrats. In the other hand.., he can't be worse then Hillary Clinton.., or can he?
Of course he is worse than Hillary Clinton.
Progressively American Politicians are sinking lower and lower in morals and decency.
Do not doubt the capacity of Americans to out do one another when rating their individual capabilities to be STUPID!
Will never use any of your products again. Another oversight that Brita made that it should not have. It is every thing we hoped for. *UPDATE* I contacted the BubbleBum team and the immediately sent me a replacement bladder… This is a great purchase for the price (and can be a great present for any parent to receive) because it brings sanity to messy meal times!

Without the significant US moral and materiel support provided to the UK at this moment the forces of Adolph Hitler would have readily overrun the Middle East – and we all would likely be speaking German. That said, I found this movie deeply depressing and don't ever want to see it again. Amazon.com had a excellant price and as always, they sent my item out to me fast. Great quality went to Denali National Park and took lovely pictures with the aid of this lens!!!!!!! Outstanding!!!!! He did a great job, though, and nothing was damaged in any way. Some others have reported this as well — it happened to me sometime in 2010. http://www.twitter.com/
More wasted American Tax payer money used to support Israels illegal occupation. " The road to Iran goes through Syria".
Only a dumb "politician" may ask for such a stupid requrest. Washington is ruled by dumb and savage "politicians" under influence of zionists, foreign agents. From the president down all are zionist puppet and fifth column.
The condescending, long-winded, slow-talking, everyone-else-is-dumber-than-me John Kerry pretends he doesn't know what a hypocrite and fool he sounds like, with his wife's money stuffed into his ears.
hyprocrit, yes Kerry is the right person for the job
