Letter to Uncle Sam: Hajjaji Congrats on your Union with ISI and Al Qaeda – by Syed Riaz Al-Malik Hajjaji
Hear Ye Hear Ye The Ghairatmand Taliban Supportors are on the rise! Until last year, whenever we -PML N, PTI, JI, ASWJ, ISI/Pakistan Army, Media, Shia Mullahs- used to say that America is supporting the Taliban and Al Qaeda, we used to be mocked and jeered at. We were told that Amrika would never do this and dismissed as conspiracy theorists.
After Syria – and Algeria, Egypt, Libya we have been proven right. FYI, Al Qaeda sends its regards to President Obama for not properly investigating the Benghazi attack on US embassy in Libya by Al Qaeda – the same Al Qaeda who just months ago was being backed by NATO against Qaddafi – the dictator, not the stadium in Lahore.
Al Qaeda also thanks other US allies like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Isreal and Turkey for supplying …….. M&Ms (peanut flavour only). What did you say?? Chemical weapons??? The US and its allies have no record of ever having used or supplied chemical weapons. Now shut already and keep the facts to yourself, you liberal dissenter, you Assad apologist, you!
At this point in time, we should be clear about one thing which is that America has finally gotten around to accept ISI policy on Al Qaeda and Taliban. FYI, just to be clear, there is no Al Qaeda wink wink nudge nudge 😉 Atleast not when the heat is on 🙂
Anyways, just like Pakistan Army which makes difference between Good Taliban and naughty Taliban, the US and EU also distinguishes between Good Al Qaeda (Libya, Syria, Iraq) and Naughty Al Qaeda (Mali, Pakistan, Yemen).
Just like ISI and Pakistan army became generous and forgiving about attacks on on army bases and GHQ, America also forgot about Al Qaeda for Benghazi attack.
I commend President Obama for depending on direct evidence of his own – such as the evidence that was supplied to the UN by the honourable General Powell “The Truthful” in 2003 against WMD of former comrade Saddam. Thanks to Iraq, Al Qaeda also managed to get base in Iraq which is named Jabat Al Nusra who are also helping us fight the Assad regime. The Assad regime is a big threat to the democratic Jeffersonian monarchy republics of Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
President Obama must not burden himself with silly concepts such as veracity of evidence and motives. He should learn from President Bush. They already share so much in common and President Obama has already overtaken President Bush. Bush just did Afghanistan and Iraq but Obama has already done Bahrain, Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Morocco, Mali and now Syria. Beat that Bush!
Sadr Obama, don’t let the liberal media get you and don’t show them the evidence. Thanks to Allah, in America, media is not much different than it is in Pakistan. With minor cosmetic differences, FOX News and MSNBC are really on the same page on major issues. Both NBC and FOX news supported us in Iraq as well.
Al Qaeda is happy that you are sticking to your resolve of suppressing your evidence from the public. Don’t get too upset when some liberals taunt you with the phrase “The US is in bed with Al Qaeda – Again”.
If the Liberals taunt you with videos of your Al Qaeda allies eating human livers like this
Just tell them that it is the latest Hannibal Lector movie. Most people won’t know the difference anyways.
If that does not work, do what the Pakistan army-inspired media does in Pakistan. Say that it is a cause and effect thing and blame the Assad regime for fighting the peaceful Silk Route Tourists from Pakistan, Australia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Jordan, Belgium, Canada and France which turned them into terrorists. Don’t get too bogged down into details like you used to before. Btw, you are doing just fine now with bluster –which we in Pakistan understand as an important feature of Ghairat.
Most importantly, please stick to your current Bush-ian phase. Please do not get bogged down in such silly things such as logic and rational. Whatever you do, make sure that the great intellectual American media does not see how Assad regime is encouraging the UN to collect evidence of every chemical attack.
http://rt.com/news/syria-investigate-un-chemical-116/
and how America-Al Qaeda alliance had earlier on done a “false-flag” operation to pin the blame on Syria. It might harm credibility. Better yet, take a page from Pakistani judiciary and ban Google in Amrika.

Otherwise silly liberals will see this interview of Bashar Al Assad regime and see how he uses the Satanic tools of logic in the chemical attacks case. Our previous ally Saddam always used to take credit but this Baathist foe both denies that he ordered the chemical attack and then says why would the robber call the police. Actually, that might be a good argument. Strike that. Just make sure that your media does not get its hands on this interview

If you need evidence of how the Bashir Regime in Syria used chemical weapons, refer to this photo of Syrian children suffering from chemical attacks. It is known as “Napalm Girl” but it is compelling evidence that has come up so far of the horrors of chemical weapons It should raise the sympathy that you need to launch the Tomohawk-Peace-Initiative-In-Defense-of-Al Qeada.
If you need further proof, spread this link

Don’t worry if UN inspectors say that both sides used chemical weapons in Syria or that the latest attack was a false flag operation by Al Qaeda. By then the Tomohawk Peace Initiative will have been launched and the USA will finally be the Air Force that Al Qaeda always pined for but never had. You gave them a glimpse of that in Libya. Don’t let the UN or the Constitution create hurdles for you, take a note from our Generals and Judges who never let these silly things bother them too much.
Long live the Al Qaeda-America alliance. Our forefathers, whom you called the founding fathers of Afghanistan at the White House defeated the secular Saur revolution there. We will defeat the Baathist regime of Assad and install Zawahiri’s caliphate in Syria. Jazakallah. Amen. Shalom.
According to report of a US Senate committee in 1994, from 1985, if not earlier, till 1989, a bevy of biological material was exported to Iraq by American suppliers pursuant to licensing by the US Department of Commerce. Among these materials, which often produce slow, agonizing deaths, were:
Bacillus anthracis, cause of anthrax.
Clostridium botulinum, a source of botulinum toxin.
Histoplasma capsulatam, cause of a disease attacking lungs, brain, spinal cord and heart.
Brucella melitensis, bacteria that can damage major organs.
Clostridium perfringens, highly toxic bacteria causing systemic illness.
Clostridium tetani, highly toxigenic.
Escherichia coli (E. coli).
Genetic materials.
Human and bacterial DNA.
The senate report pointed out, “These biological materials were not attenuated or weakened and were capable of reproduction.”
“It was later learned,” the committee stated, “that these micro-organisms exported by the United States were identical to those the United Nations inspectors found (in) the Iraqi biological warfare program.”
The report noted further that US exports to Iraq included the precursors to chemical warfare agents, plans for chemical and biological warfare production facilities and chemical warhead filling equipment.
These exports continued to at least November 28, 1989 despite the fact that Iraq had been reported to be engaging in chemical warfare against Iranians, Kurds and Iraqi Shi’ites since early 1980s.
For the bibliographically inclined, the above excerpts have been taken from “U. S. Chemical and Biological Warfare-Related Dual Use Exports to Iraq and their Possible Impact on Health Consequences of Persian Gulf War”, Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs with Respect to Export Administration, reports of May 25, 1994 and October 7, 1994.

Vetran Journalist Dale Gavlak, formally with AP and BBC reports that “rebels” were supplied chemical weapons by the Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia
This story is not being carried in the mainstream media, what a surprise.

“According to the testimonies we have gathered, the rebels have used chemical weapons, making use of sarin gas,” del Ponte, a former war crimes prosecutor, said in an interview with Swiss radio late on Sunday.
“We still have to deepen our investigation, verify and confirm (the findings) through new witness testimony, but according to what we have established so far, it is at the moment opponents of the regime who are using sarin gas,” she added.
She stressed that the UN commission of inquiry on Syria, which she is a part of, had far from finished its investigation.

This cynical, worthless and meaningless parody is typical of those filled with hate and do not add any positive resolve or solutions to the conflict; authors who feel powerless, would rather take the easy route and make fun of a serious civil war.
The article is not clever, not funny and the author’s intent is solely to add to the assumed hatred of the U.S. by aligning American efforts with Al Qaeda, a farcical notion meant to appeal to the conspiracy theory majority in Pakistan. He missed one opportunity in this nonsense: where is the expected dark presence of the Israelis that are omnipresent in any and all Pakistani conspiracy theories? ….what an oversight!
Get serious, as satirical sketches like this one are a detriment as thousands lie dead at the hands of the thug, Assad. LUBP should use more caution in allowing such nonsense to obscure truth and cynicism spreads.
America is not blind to the presence of its enemy Al Qaeda in the amidst the rebels. The U.S. seeks to align with the Free Syrian Army, not Salafists, although, this may be a difficult task .
To the author, I say: try saying what you mean, and join realities on the ground, rather than making fun over the blood spilled on Syrian innocents- men, women and children lying dead on Syrian soil by a sadist, named Assad.
Rusty, Riaz Hujjaji is a satirist, kinda of like our Stephen Colbert. He is over the top. He is also hit and miss and some of his sketches miss the mark. This one by Hujjaji is a bit much and a little one-sided. Needs balance.
By the way, I liked both your recent articles on Syria and must commend you and LUBP for publishing them.
Even if I don’t agree with all of your arguements, the quality is consistent with most of what I read on LUBP – my go to site for politics and media in Pakistan. As for Syria, thats a mess. On the one hand we have a ruthless dynastic dictatorship represented by the Assads and on the other hand, Saudi-Qatar-Turkey backed (mostly) Al Qaeda rebels.
As things stand now, Russia is beginning to outflank us on the diplomatic front. The fault lies in sections of our State Department that have allowed Saudi (major) and Hard Right Israeli (minor) lobbies to hijack our policy. I hope the Obama administration breaks away from the grip of these two lobbies. We seriously need to bring peace to Syria and get Assad back on the negotiating table otherwise Russia gets to consolidate its last base in the region. From then on, we are back in the Cold War where the Obamas, Kerrys and Hillarys are no match for the Putins and their Chinese, Brazilian, Indian (Bric) as well as emerging Iran.
Study the stats on Iran. Massive technological progress from the most educated population of the Middle East. We cannot afford to peg ourselves to the Corrupt and declining Sheikhs anymore.
Did the White House Help Plan the Syrian Chemical Attack?

There is a growing volume of new evidence from numerous sources in the Middle East — mostly affiliated with the Syrian opposition and its sponsors and supporters — which makes a very strong case, based on solid circumstantial evidence, that the August 21, 2013, chemical strike in the Damascus suburbs was indeed a pre-meditated provocation by the Syrian opposition.
The extent of US foreknowledge of this provocation needs further investigation because available data puts the “horror” of the Barack Obama White House in a different and disturbing light.
On August 13-14, 2013, Western-sponsored opposition forces in Turkey started advance preparations for a major and irregular military surge. Initial meetings between senior opposition military commanders and representatives of Qatari, Turkish, and US Intelligence [“Mukhabarat Amriki”] took place at the converted Turkish military garrison in Antakya, Hatay Province, used as the command center and headquarters of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and their foreign sponsors. Very senior opposition commanders who had arrived from Istanbul briefed the regional commanders of an imminent escalation in the fighting due to “a war-changing development” which would, in turn, lead to a US-led bombing of Syria.
The opposition forces had to quickly prepare their forces for exploiting the US-led bombing in order to march on Damascus and topple the Bashar al-Assad Government, the senior commanders explained. The Qatari and Turkish intelligence officials assured the Syrian regional commanders that they would be provided with plenty of weapons for the coming offensive.
Indeed, unprecedented weapons distribution started in all opposition camps in Hatay Province on August 21-23, 2013. In the Reyhanli area alone, opposition forces received well in excess of 400 tons of weapons, mainly anti-aircraft weaponry from shoulder-fired missiles to ammunition for light-guns and machineguns. The weapons were distributed from store-houses controlled by Qatari and Turkish Intelligence under the tight supervision of US Intelligence.
These weapons were loaded on more than 20 trailer-trucks which crossed into northern Syria and distributed the weapons to several depots. Follow-up weapon shipments, also several hundred tons, took place over the weekend of August 24-25, 2013, and included mainly sophisticated anti-tank guided missiles and rockets. Opposition officials in Hatay said that these weapon shipments were “the biggest” they had received “since the beginning of the turmoil more than two years ago”. The deliveries from Hatay went to all the rebel forces operating in the Idlib-to-Aleppo area, including the al-Qaida affiliated jihadists (who constitute the largest rebel forces in the area).
Several senior officials from both the Syrian opposition and sponsoring Arab states stressed that these weapon deliveries were specifically in anticipation for exploiting the impact of imminent bombing of Syria by the US and the Western allies. The latest strategy formulation and coordination meetings took place on August 26, 2013. The political coordination meeting took place in Istanbul and was attended by US Amb. Robert Ford.
More important were the military and operational coordination meetings at the Antakya garrison. Senior Turkish, Qatari, and US Intelligence officials attended in addition to the Syrian senior (opposition) commanders. The Syrians were informed that bombing would start in a few days.
“The opposition was told in clear terms that action to deter further use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime could come as early as in the next few days,” a Syrian participant in the meeting said. Another Syrian participant said that he was convinced US bombing was scheduled to begin on Thursday, August 29, 2013. Several participants — both Syrian and Arab — stressed that the assurances of forthcoming bombing were most explicit even as formally Obama is still undecided.
The descriptions of these meetings raise the question of the extent of foreknowledge of US Intelligence, and therefore, the Obama White House. All the sources consulted — both Syrian and Arab — stressed that officials of the “Mukhabarat Amriki” actively participated in the meetings and briefings in Turkey. Therefore, at the very least, they should have known that the opposition leaders were anticipating “a war-changing development”: that is, a dramatic event which would provoke a US-led military intervention.
The mere fact that weapon storage sites under the tight supervision of US Intelligence were opened up and about a thousand tons of high-quality weapons were distributed to the opposition indicates that US Intelligence anticipated such a provocation and the opportunity for the Syrian opposition to exploit the impact of the ensuing US and allied bombing. Hence, even if the Obama White House did not know in advance of the chemical provocation, they should have concluded, or at the very least suspected, that the chemical attack was most likely the “war-changing development” anticipated by the opposition leaders as provocation of US-led bombing. Under such circumstances, the Obama White House should have refrained from rushing head-on to accuse Assad’s Damascus and threaten retaliation, thus making the Obama White House at the very least complicit after the act.
Meanwhile, additional data from Damascus about the actual chemical attack increases the doubts about Washington’s version of events. Immediately after the attack, three hospitals of Doctors Without Borders (MSF: médecins sans frontières) in the greater Damascus area treated more than 3,600 Syrians affected by the chemical attack, and 355 of them died. MSF performed tests on the vast majority of those treated.
MSF director of operations Bart Janssens summed up the findings: “MSF can neither scientifically confirm the cause of these symptoms nor establish who is responsible for the attack. However, the reported symptoms of the patients, in addition to the epidemiological pattern of the events — characterized by the massive influx of patients in a short period of time, the origin of the patients, and the contamination of medical and first aid workers — strongly indicate mass exposure to a neurotoxic agent.” Simply put, even after testing some 3,600 patients, MSF failed to confirm that sarin was the cause of the injuries. According to MSF, the cause could have been nerve agents like sarin, concentrated riot control gas, or even high-concentration pesticides. Moreover, opposition reports that there was distinct stench during the attack suggest that it could have come from the “kitchen sarin” used by jihadist groups (as distinct from the odorless military-type sarin) or improvised agents like pesticides.
Some of the evidence touted by the Obama White House is questionable at best.
A small incident in Beirut raises big questions. A day after the chemical attack, Lebanese fixers working for the “Mukhabarat Amriki” succeeded to convince a Syrian male who claimed to have been injured in the chemical attack to seek medical aid in Beirut in return for a hefty sum that would effectively settle him for life. The man was put into an ambulance and transferred overnight to the Farhat Hospital in Jib Janine, Beirut. The Obama White House immediately leaked friendly media that “the Lebanese Red Cross announced that test results found traces of sarin gas in his blood.” However, this was news to Lebanese intelligence and Red Cross officials.
According to senior intelligence officials, “Red Cross Operations Director George Kettaneh told [them] that the injured Syrian fled the hospital before doctors were able to test for traces of toxic gas in his blood.” Apparently, the patient declared that he had recovered from his nausea and no longer needed medical treatment. The Lebanese security forces are still searching for the Syrian patient and his honorarium.
On August 24, 2013, Syrian Commando forces acted on intelligence about the possible perpetrators of the chemical attack and raided a cluster of rebel tunnels in the Damascus suburb of Jobar. Canisters of toxic material were hit in the fierce fire-fight as several Syrian soldiers suffered from suffocation and “some of the injured are in a critical condition”.
The Commando eventually seized an opposition warehouse containing barrels full of chemicals required for mixing “kitchen sarin”, laboratory equipment, as well as a large number of protective masks. The Syrian Commando also captured several improvised explosive devices, RPG rounds, and mortar shells. The same day, at least four HizbAllah fighters operating in Damascus near Ghouta were hit by chemical agents at the very same time the Syrian Commando unit was hit while searching a group of rebel tunnels in Jobar. Both the Syrian and the HizbAllah forces were acting on intelligence information about the real perpetrators of the chemical attack. Damascus told Moscow the Syrian troops were hit by some form of a nerve agent and sent samples (blood, tissues, and soil) and captured equipment to Russia.
Several Syrian leaders, many of whom are not Bashar al-Assad supporters and are even his sworn enemies, are now convinced that the Syrian opposition is responsible for the August 21, 2013, chemical attack in the Damascus area in order to provoke the US and the allies into bombing Assad’s Syria. Most explicit and eloquent is Saleh Muslim, the head of the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) which has been fighting the Syrian Government. Muslim doubts Assad would have used chemical weapons when he was winning the civil war.
“The regime in Syria … has chemical weapons, but they wouldn’t use them around Damascus, five km from the [UN] committee which is investigating chemical weapons. Of course they are not so stupid as to do so,” Muslim told Reuters on August 27, 2013. He believes the attack was “aimed at framing Assad and provoking an international reaction”. Muslim is convinced that “some other sides who want to blame the Syrian regime, who want to show them as guilty and then see action” is responsible for the chemical attack. The US was exploiting the attack to further its own anti-Assad policies and should the UN inspectors find evidence that the rebels were behind the attack, then “everybody would forget it”, Muslim shrugged. “Who is the side who would be punished? Are they are going to punish the Emir of Qatar or the King of Saudi Arabia, or Mr Erdo?an of Turkey?”
And there remain the questions: Given the extent of the involvement of the “Mukhabarat Amriki” in opposition activities, how is that US Intelligence did not know in advance about the opposition’s planned use of chemical weapons in Damascus?
It is a colossal failure.
And if they did know and warned the Obama White House, why then the sanctimonious rush to blame the Assad Administration?
Moreover, how can the Obama Administration continue to support and seek to empower the opposition which had just intentionally killed some 1,300 innocent civilians in order to provoke a US military intervention?
