US-led airstrike "unintentionally" hit Syrian forces instead of ISIS, 62 Syrian troops killed

[goldenequity]

Vitaly Churkin was right. Behold:

DEFCONWarningSystem @DEFCONWS
United States will not work with Russia to coordinate Syrian bombings until Russia allows humanitarian aid into area, says US.

and of course...
It's US backed goatfuckers who block UN humanitarian aid convoys...

and this... just in
iad tawil ‏@iadtawil 42 min.
#Aleppo: "Moderate rebels" executed 26 civilians in East area, Sheikh Khoder neighborhood, for protesting against them. #Syria.

Hey Samantha... you REALLY need to spend the weekend with 'your guys'

Leaked: Source Reveals Coordination between US, ISIS in Attacking Syrian Army

"We demand a full and detailed explanation from Washington"

On Sunday, the Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman blasted Washington
over the recent airstrikes near Deir Ezzor, and said such moves serves the interests of the ISIS terror group.

"If previously we had suspicions that Fatah al-Sham Front (formerly known as al-Nusra Front) is protected this way,
now, after Saturday airstrikes on the Syrian army
we come to a really terrifying conclusion for the entire world:
The White House is defending the ISIL," Maria Zakharova said.

"We demand a full and detailed explanation from Washington.
That explanation must be given at the UN Security Council," she added.

Russia has demanded full and detailed explanation from Washington
over the incident in Deir Ezzor, in which 62 Syrian troops were killed and over 100 injured.

rut roh.
There is evidence of coordination btw airstrikes and ground ops...
ISIS moved on the stricken areas in less than 7 MINUTES following the strikes.

US Desperately Pumps Smokescreen For Failing Syria Ceasefire
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-...anitarian-smokescreen-failing-syria-ceasefire

Washington’s lie about seeking a genuine ceasefire in Syria is in danger of being exposed … a charade is being hurriedly orchestrated in order to hide this ignominy. … That real cause is Washington’s state-sponsored terrorist-fueled war for regime change.

After four days of continuing deadly breaches by US-backed «rebels» … Washington and the dutiful Western mainstream media are preparing the inevitable excuses. … Washington is giving notice that it will not follow through on its ceasefire commitment …

Washington is mendaciously trying to pretend that there have been no breaches of the ceasefire and that the whole problem revolves around «no humanitarian access» being granted [to the rebel terrorists] … If the US does indeed backtrack from its stated prior commitment … then it is safe to assume that the entire ceasefire «deal» will be dead …

Admittedly, the level of violence in Aleppo and across the country subsided when the US-Russian ceasefire pact came into effect … Syrian forces halted their campaign of air strikes. Opposition violence appeared to abate too. Nevertheless, the truce was reportedly violated multiple times by anti-government militias, not just in Aleppo, but in other locations, such as Latakia, Hama and Homs. … there was no apparent distinction between so-called US-backed moderate rebels and recognized terror groups in carrying out these violations. All insurgents groups were engaging in sporadic attacks – in contravention of the putative ceasefire.

Syrian army units had observed the truce and had begun demilitarizing a major access road into eastern Aleppo. … it is the militants who are refusing to withdraw from the Castello Road area, which would provide the humanitarian aid convoys access to the city. … insurgent factions openly declared that they would continue shelling and sniping in the Castello Road precisely in order to prevent the aid convoys arriving because they opposed the ceasefire accord …

the US is using a “verbal smokescreen” to conceal why the ceasefire is failing. … Washington has negligible control over its declared “moderate” rebels. In fact, there is no control … this latest one is breaking down because all the militants continue to breach any cessation. … the US-backed opposition is using the ceasefire simply as an opportunity to rearm and regroup. …

The CIA and Washington’s allies in Britain, France, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey armed the anti-government insurgents, including the known terror groups. … created a veritable Frankenstein monster over which they now have little control …

The latest ceasefire is floundering like the previous attempt because Washington’s assertions about «moderate rebels» dissociating from «terror» groups is total and utter humbug. … Washington and its allies are being caught out spectacularly in their lies over the Syrian conflict. … they have been sponsoring terrorist proxies for the criminal purpose of regime change.

So conspicuous and damning is Washington’s nefarious role in Syria’s conflict – which has resulted in 400,000 dead and millions turned into desperate refugees – that this crime has to be covered up at all costs. But covering it up is becoming futile because of the increasing glaring reality. …

Washington … is not motivated by finding a peaceful resolution … The conflict is all about regime change and deploying terrorist agents to achieve that. …

The unbearable truth about Washington and its criminal gang of state-sponsors of terrorism has to be concealed from public view. And that is why Washington and the dutiful Western media lie machine are cranking up the [smokescreen excuses]. …

The suffering and violence in Syria will stop when Washington is seen for the criminal regime that it is. That day is coming. The American smokescreen is dissipating … And the terrorists – state sponsors and proxies alike – are finally being exposed.

I've now seen two separate MSM stories that indicated first that Australian planes were involved, and now confirmed UK planes involved as well. Washington is putting a lot of effort into having plausible deniability.

What do you do with a serial liar?

Syria: U.S. Airstrike On Syrian Forces Was Intentional

In a September 18, 2016 column in the Syrian government daily Al-Thawra, columnist Khaled Al-Ashhab rejected the claim that the September 17, 2016 U.S. airstrike on Syrian army troops in Deir Al-Zor was an accident, saying that the U.S. forces possessed technological means to prevent such accidents. He added that this claim was a lie, and that the Americans kept their true intentions in their hearts and minds. This airstrike, he added, was further proof that the U.S. has been collaborating with the terrorists against the Syrian regime and aiding them for the past five years.
It should be noted that similar claims have been made by Syrian regime officials. President Bashar Al-Assad's political and media advisor Buthaina Sha'ban told the French news agency AFP: "The raid was deliberate. Everything was premediated. ISIS knew about it, and when it advanced the raids stopped."[1]
Syria's UN envoy Bashar Al-Jaafari said that the purpose of the airstrike was to undermine the U.S.-Russian ceasefire agreement reached on September 10, 2016.[2]

The following are excerpts from Al-Ashhab's column: [3]
"Why do people condemn the American airstrike and why are they surprised by it? After all, the U.S. has been bombing the Arab Syrian army for over five years by means of others [i.e., Assad's enemies in Syria]. The only difference is that, this time, the finger that pulled the trigger was strictly American. This time, just like in over 100 occasions in the past, its planes 'made a mistake.' Instead of airdropping weapons and food to ISIS, they dropped bombs on the Syrian army. It's the same thing.
"So it was just a mistake, the U.S. army claimed yesterday. An accident. Would the terrorist global aggression be targeting Syria for the past five years had the U.S. not deliberately pushed it towards Syria, from the north and the south?
"Where would ISIS, Jabhat Al-Nusra and their ilk acquire all these weapons, had America not made occasional 'mistakes' when ferrying [weapons] across the border or dropping them from the sky? It's quite amazing that America's coordinate[-system] technology could not identify ISIS's convoys, only the units of the Arab Syrian army.
"This [claim] is ridiculous, of course, just [like the claim] that the U.S. was unable to distinguish between the terrorists and the 'moderates,' on the grounds that their [troops] intermingled. Does the Syrian army mix with ISIS, so that even the Americans are unable to understand what is happening? Or have the achievements of the [Syrian] army exposed that the Americans are mixing with ISIS?
"So this American mistake was actually correct. It was a mistake on the outside but intentional on the inside. The Americans utter lies, while [keeping] their intentional actions in their hearts and minds."

Sharmine Narwani (journalist @snarwani) tweeting that practical effect of Dier Ezzor attack was to shut down Government control of airstrip. Now besieged city cannot be delivered aid.

Same scenario playing out in besieged Aleppo which the U.S. made a point to mention when "apologizing" (those sarcasm quotes don't really do justice to what's required) for the recent mistake-attack. My guess is end-game is to have full on ground-assault by Turkey/Saudi Arabia, etc. and perhaps starving and making miserable as many Syrians as possible is short-term goal in order to manufacture sympathy for this future invasion.

Just speculating, but I'm not alone in this speculation.

All misery is blamed on Assad, ultimately, and even though the case for invasion is weaker than Iraq, it isn't the US who will do the ground invading, so I'm guessing they figure they can still pull it off.

The testimonies confirm the truth:

The testimonies confirm the truth:

• "We [Syrian soldiers] first thought the aircraft are support to us after the first 2 shots, but we quickly found out that they are targeting our forces aggressively, while we were fighting IS terrorists. The aircraft used cluster bombs against us."
• "A day before the airstrikes, the [US] drones were flying and scanning all the area"
• "The US air-strikes destroyed all our equipment and defense points."
• "IS fighters attacked us immediately after and during the US strikes. Some of them were laughing"
• "US drones and helicopters opened fire from machine guns on our retreated forces
"
• "It for sure wasn’t a mistake, they targeted us intentionally to help IS."

The US Air strikes were deliberate, they were carefully planned and coordinated with ISIS-Daesh commandos on the ground. The bombings enabled the ISIS-Daesh Islamic State mercenaries to wage an effective counterattack against Syrian government forces. …

Washington and its allies are the State Sponsors of Terrorism. The various jihadist organizations including ISIS-Daesh and al Nusra are supported and funded by the Western military alliance. …

In the words of Oliver Stone: ‘We’re Not under Threat. We Are the Threat’ … The USA is supporting the Islamic State. …

Deir Ezzor Attack Enables "Salafist Principality" Per 2012 Defense Intel Agency Analysis

Deir Ezzor Attack Enables "Salafist Principality" as Per the 2012 DIA Analysis
http://www.moonofalabama.org/

Two recent attacks against the Syrian Arab Army in east-Syria point to a U.S. plan to eliminate all Syrian government presence east of Palmyra. This would enable the U.S. and its allies to create "Sunni entity" in east-Syria and west-Iraq which would be a permanent thorn in side of Syria and its allies.

A 2012 analysis by the Defense Intelligence Agency said:

THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING A DECLARED OR UNDECLARED SALAFIST PRINCIPALITY IN EASTERN SYRIA (HASAKA AND DER ZOR), AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE SUPPORTING POWERS TO THE OPPOSITION WANT, IN ORDER TO ISOLATE THE SYRIAN REGIME ...​

On August 18 Kurdish YPK units suddenly attacked Syrian government positions in the center of Hasakah in the north-east of Syria. Before this incident the relations between the two entities had been decent … The attacking Kurds were under advice from U.S. special operators. When the Syrian air force intervened the U.S. threatened to down its planes. …

On Saturday U.S. airplanes attacked the most important Syrian government position in Deir Ezzor. Nearly a hundred Syrian soldiers were killed and most of the heavy equipment … Immediately after the attack fighters of the Islamic State occupied the bombed out government positions … above the Deir Ezzor airport. …

The city and its 150,000+ inhabitants are surrounded by the Islamic State. They had been supplied from Damascus by nightly flights to the airport. … supply flights are no longer possible. The U.S. air attack practically closed down the Syrian government ability to supply the city. …

The two recent moves by U.S. forces in east-Syria are consistent with the plan for a … "Salafist principality" described in the 2012 Defense Intelligence Agency document. Such an entity blocks the land connection of the "Shia crescent" which connects Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. This is the "isolation" of Syria foreseen in the DIA analysis. …

the envisioned "Sunni entity" would … continue to be a source of terrorism which would hit far beyond the borders of Syria and the surrounding states. But it is exactly the instability of this construct that will allow for further U.S. presence in the area. …

Maybe this "mistake" was U.S. caveman way of communicating to Russia, et al, that we are committed to this "Salafist Principality". But as you responded to me on the other thread, probably Russia/China not really willing to just let that happen.

My personal belief is that TPTB have no use for U.S.A in long term as a political entity. Seems like these instances where we're making fools of ourselves is the men behind the curtain emptying our magazine into the air. When crisis hits US in whatever form, it will be seen as karmic, and the BRICS bloc will get passed the baton and the whole world will see them as the soft corner, since America seems to be doing everything in its power to paint itself as Satan incarnate.

Of course, this is only what I see as "perhaps" the PTB plan. My religious beliefs complicate what I really think of the future.

Saw a clip of Rand on internets where he claimed that Obama had sold over $100 Billion worth of weapons to Saudi dictatorship. He called them "frenemy". Think he was on Morning Joe.
There was some WSJ professional hack with trying to defend bloodbath in Yemen/Saudi dictators and claimed that Saudis were fighting our war and we should be grateful. Rand in response said that anyone who believes that Yemen is our war is welcome to go there and fight in Yemen. He needs to be in sharp form like this all the time to keep neocons on the edge. There was no anti-semitism towards Saudis from any party, very fair criticism of their support for Jihadi groups.
