Well, Tubularsock feels a hell of a lot better about Syria and its future bombing. No not because Step-an-fetch-it-Obomber has decided to let that check and balance system have a chance to speak before he will bomb the fuck out of them. No, it’s because Tubularsock just read his own blog post and realized IT’S NOT ABOUT ME!

Obomber’s decision to bomb Syria isn’t about Tubularsock having a beef with a Syrian.  Nor is it about YOU not having a beef with a Syrian. No really! We have nothing to do with it! And you know for sure it has absolutely nothing to do with Chemical Weapons or helping the Syrian people.

With the exception that WE have to pay for it! (Of little consequence to us, right?)

Now aren’t you relieved?

It is simply a business move. Feel better now?

You see the entire region needs to be MORE destabilized because, “What is good for business is good for business and the business of business IS business!”

(Think of this last insight as a bumper sticker that could only fit on a corporate limo bumper.)

You see there is this pipe line deal that has to be disrupted ……… wouldn’t you know.

In July, 2011 Iran, Iraq, and Syria signed a major gas pipeline deal.

This pipeline construction will provide for Iranian gas from its South Pars gas field to Europe via Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea. (Boring, yes?)

According to the deal, Iranian gas will be transited to Greece and other European countries via a 6,000-kilometer pipeline crossing thorough Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon and under the Mediterranean Sea. (Tehran Times)

This project will cut into Israel’s plans of selling gas to Europe.

This project will also cut into Qatar’s gas sales to Europe.

This project will also affect Turkey’s self-described privileged energy crossroads between East and West.

So what does that have to do with the United States’ “Interests”?

A fun side note: Whenever you hear that our military is protecting American interests, that is NOT your (the citizen’s) interest. That means American corporate interests. And now in todays terms world corporate interests. GET CLEAR YOU ARE NOT PART OF THOSE INTERESTS! (But you pay for it.)

Enter Prince Bandar bin Sultan better known to those who love him as Bandar-Bush.

Tube-Bandar

Now Bandar is what makes this all too fun. He is a Saudi-sleazeball who was the Saudi Ambassador to the United States from 1983 through 2005 and had the inside track with five Presidents and with Congress. He was especially tight with the Bush family and joined, with Saudi money, into the Carlylel Group. An inside-track investment corporation where many former government officials were able to use their insider knowledge to garner wealth.

All in that grand-ol’-capitalist-spirit!

He was so tight with the Bush family that Little-Bush was the one who give him the  nicknamed Bandar-Bush.

Bandar encouraged military action against Iraq. And best of all he supported Dick Cheney’s agenda for “The New Middle East”, which called for pro-democracy programs in both Syria and Iran. (And you know what pro-democracy means to Cheney!)

Which only goes to show you that floating turds swim in the same toilet.

 

For years now Tubularsock has been looking for the flusher!

After 2005 Bandar disappeared and rumor had it that he had been killed or died but like a bad riyal he cropped up again as Director General of  the Saudi Intelligence Agency in 2011.

This guy runs weapons, cash, fighters and he is the main pipeline in providing chemical weapons to the “Syrian rebels” most of whom are not Syrian at all but jihadist mercenaries funded by Saudi Arabia and the CIA.

Are you getting the picture yet?

Bandar was involved in the Iran-Contra deal back in the day. He arranged for $32 million in Saudi financing for the Nicaraguan Contras.

The guy’s a creep of the highest order and he is still peddling his ware.

Recently he met with Putin to try and pressure Russia to back off with helping Assad but Putin has too much invested in keeping the U.S. from destabilizing Iran.

But this pipe line deal isn’t the only issue nor is the international consulting, construction, and distribution systems that are needed to pull this off.

No, there is also the Israeli Zionist’s belief that a destabilized Syria, Lebanon, Iran, and Iraq would benefit Israel because it would cause infighting within the Arab world thus weakening a major force against Israel.

And on top of that is the U.S., Saudi, and Israeli fascination with bringing down Iran.

But perhaps the largest piece of the pie goes to the incredibly huge profits garnered by our military-industrial-complex. The amount this “limited” bombing will end up costing will be in the billions if not trillions of dollars. And that is what it really is all about. PROFITS!

And that is why you will see Congress back this insane adventure because they are mere whores of these war industries.

Our only hope is in the House of Representatives. And the key votes are going to be those crazy tea party types. The standard Democrat and Republican are way past sold out to corporate interests. But the tea party crazies might just stop Congressional approval.

That does not necessarily mean that Obomber won’t step up to the plate and order these bombing as punishment because of HIS high moral standards.*** But if he does it will be a major foreign policy blunder. And the costs are far greater than can be imagined.****

 

*** that was a joke!

****  that is no joke!

WHAT’S IT TO YOU?

Ok. Tubularsock was sitting in his top floor corner office in his underground bunker over looking Washington, D.C. in Oakland, CA. and this thought floated through and with the agility of a stealth bomber I plucked it from the ethos.

What do YOU ……… an American citizen living in America ……. what do you have to do with bombing a Syrian?

Really. What has a Syrian done to YOU lately? What harm has a Syrian caused YOU?

In most cases only a handful of YOU have ever even seen a Syrian let alone talked with one.

So ………. would you blow one up?

I wouldn’t.

And when YOU start to think about it, how about an Iraqi? Or a Pakistani?

Just what have they done to you personally? Anything at all?

An Afghan? Would YOU leave your house today and go blow up an Afghan?

Do you have cause? Have you even met one in your travels?

And yet, we have killed hundreds of thousands of them. Men, women, and children.

But what has EVEN ONE done to you?

SO WHAT GIVES?

Can you actually say that YOU have a beef with a Syrian or an Afghan? How about a Pakistani? How about an Iranian?

SO WHAT GIVES?

YOU don’t have a beef with them, YOU don’t even know one.

So why are we so accepting with bombing them?

Tubularsock is still trying to grok why we “had to” kill so many Vietnamese?

Bombing their homes, killing their water buffalo, Agent Orange-ing their jungle, napalming their families.

FOR WHAT?

I personally have never had a beef with a Vietnamese, EVER!

SO WHAT GIVES?

Syria has never attacked the United States.

Vietnam has never attacked the United States.

Iran has never attacked the United States.

Pakistan has never attacked the United States.

Iraq has never attacked the United States.

Afghanistan has never attacked the United States.

YET ……… THE UNITED STATES HAS ATTACKED EACH OF THEM!

Do you notice some kind of a pattern here?

THINK ABOUT IT ………..

Kerry:tube heading

Ok. Let Tubularsock get this straight, “THIS international norm cannot be violated without consequences,” stated John Kerry. Now is this really real or is this some type of Onion satire.

The United States has just about broken every international norm that there is in the past fifty years and still John Kerry can stand and with a straight face and perfectly groomed hair tell the world that there must be consequences for the use of large-scale chemical weapons attacks.

Well, Tubularsock couldn’t agree more. Finally John Kerry is going to hold the United States responsible for its large-scale use of Agent Orange in Vietnam. The U.S. saturated that land with that deadly chemical and caused hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese CIVILIAN deaths and birth defects and ruined the farm land.

Agent Orange even caused death and disease within the American military with continued health issues to this day.

Wow! John Kerry is something. Do you think we will detain and arrest the CEO and the Board of Directors of Monsanto? How many Air Force generals will be detained? Wow. This is going to be big!

And gosh, now that we are on a roll I’ll bet John Kerry will follow up on the use of depleted uranium, the chemical element of Atomic number 92, a dense radioactive metal used in weapons that the U.S. has used in Afghanistan and Iraq. And even though we all know that EVER surgical strike placed in those countries missed every civilian, John will investigate and hold those in the Bush and Obombmer administration to the letter of INTERNATIONAL NORMS.

Golly gee! And the use of NAPALM will be ended by John as well. That is a chemical product that has been widely used by the American military. Do we have enough prison space in the Prison-Industrial-Complex to house all of these guys?

Not-to-worry, not-to-worry. With all of that American exceptionalism we are up to the task in order to bring ourselves up to INTERNATIONAL NORMS!

Now you have to admit that John can only do so much. It will take some other great governmental official to bring America up to International Norms around torture, attacking nations that haven’t attacked us, and droning the world at leisure. Hmmm, I wonder what Henry Kissinger is doing in his spare time?

xplow copy

OYG …….. Tubularsock has wandered off track.

John Kerry the Secretary of State wasn’t talking about the American Government’s role in chemical weapons but Syria!

Now just how did Tubularsock get so far afield?

“The indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the killing of women and children and innocent bystanders by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity. By any standard, it is inexcusable and — despite the excuses and equivocations that some have manufactured — it is undeniable”. (John Kerry)

 

Of course. Droning a wedding party, poisoning a nation, or contaminating a population is not a “moral obscenity”. It is saving a people from themselves.

 

Fuck you John Kerry! You are a piece of work.

Tube heading CIA

 

“U.S. approaches allies as it tries to boost the rebels, including with possible military aid.”

“The administration said last week it was rethinking its opposition to arming the rebels . . .”

“. . . noting that the U.S.’s main concern is the use of chemical weapons by Assad.”

These statements are all from the Associated Press which makes anyone who knows what is actually happening in the real world wonder who the Associated Press is associated with as they continue spewing this meaningless banter.

Let Tubularsock clear up any doubt about this entire Syrian mess. It’s pretty simple really.

The U.S. doesn’t like Iran and Syria has the support of Iran.

Iran and Syria don’t like Israel and the U.S. supports Israel.

The U.S. has been involved it supplying and training al Qaeda going back to Ronald Reagan.

Funny side note: The U.S. supplied and trained Bin Laden and his boys so they would attack the Soviets in Afghanistan. They ended up attacking us …….. remember.

Al Qaeda is at the center of the “rebels” who are attacking Assad and attempting to topple his government. So the idea that Obama is “rethinking the opposition to arming the rebels” is ridicules. The question really is, will we ever stop arming them.

The U.S. wants to topple Assad so as to weaken Iran’s presence in the Middle East.

The U.S. and Israel both are frightened about Iran building a nuclear bomb.

Funny side note: Back when Dick Cheney was running Haliburton they sold nuclear components to Iran. That is where Iran got its ability to build its nuclear power plant and its ability for making a nuclear bomb. These components were banned from being sold to Iran by a U.S. embargo but Dick went ahead and sold them anyway. No …….. neither he or Haliburton were held accountable.

Iran wants a nuclear bomb to protect itself from the U.S. and Israel. And you really can’t blame them. The U.S. and Israel are wacko-crazies!  stamp copy

ENTER CHEMICAL WEAPONS (a-la Saddam Hussein)

Funny side note: It was Ronald Reagan who sold Saddam Hussein the chemicals that were used to make weapons. (Have you noticed a recurring theme?)

And now it has been revealed that it was the U.S. under the contract of a private contractor who trained the “rebels” in the use of chemical weapons and IT WAS THE REBELS THAT USED CHEMICAL WEAPONS NOT THE ASSAD GOVERNMENT! This is what former war crimes prosecutor Carla Del Ponte has discovered and she and fellow members of a four-member U.N. human rights panel have indicated.

And still the U.S. is “. . . saying it’s highly likely that the Assad regime, and not the rebels, has been behind any chemical weapons use in Syria.” (Obama via Bush playbook)

So here is the bottom line: When the next inspired FBI/CIA terrorist attack occurs in the United States and the new found terrorist use their training in the use of chemical weapons to explode a sarin laced bomb ……… don’t even act surprised. Screen Shot 2012-07-21 at 11.55.56 PM
