Kein Blut für Öl?

von Thomas von der Osten-Sacken

Befänden wir uns im Jahre 2005, Syrien wäre der Irak und Russland die USA, man könnte sich ausmalen, welcher Aufschrei nach einer solchen Meldung durch die hiesige Friedensbewegung gegangen wäre und wie viele Texte über den Öldurst der imperialen Macht in die Tasten gehauen worden wären.

So aber dürfte das Abkommen als Hilfe unter Freunden im gemeinsamen Kampf für den Erhalt der “Achse des Widerstandes” durchgehen und die “Kein Blut für Öl”- Fraktion schweigt  lieber, so wie sie auch verbissen über über Sprengbomben, die auf Wohngebiete abgeworfen werden, die gezielte Aushungerung von Palästinensern oder andere Kriegsverbrechen verbissen schweigt, die in Syrien täglich von dem Regime mit Hilfe seiner Unterstützer aus dem Iran und Russland  begangen werden.

Syria: “Brutal Beyond Belief” Assad Better Than Insurgents — Former US Ambassador

26-12-2013 – Scott Lucas – EAworldview – In early December, Ryan Crocker — former US Ambassador to Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan — provided a dramatic sound-bite for a New York Times article pointing to a possible re-think in Washington about the Syrian conflict:

We need to start talking to the Assad regime again….It will have to be done very, very quietly. But bad as Assad is, he is not as bad as the jihadis who would take over in his absence.

Crocker did not stop there. Last weekend, he wrote in the Times, “We need to come to terms with a future that includes Assad — and consider that as bad as he is, there is something worse.”

And on Tuesday, his interview with Robert Siegel of US National Public Radio drove home the point, “The simple fact is Assad is not going….We need to come to terms with it.” – Never mind that Crocker’s basic facts are wrong: “Al Qa’eda” did not carry out a raid on Free Syrian Army warehouses earlier this month. It is his dramatic call to accept Assad rather than the insurgents that will resonate.
