PEACE OFF!

Right, I will admit that I am a long term critic of US former Senator George Mitchell. Met him during the Northern Ireland peace process talks, figured him as a smooth-talking appeaser of terrorism, and told him so. Not that he could care less what people like me think, after all, we don’t kill people who disagree with us. It’s Georgie-boy who is now leading efforts to appease the thugs who run Syria and who support terrorism against Israel. This glowing BBC report does mention, in passing, that Boy Bashar supports the Palestinian..ahem… “militant” group Hamas, backs Hezbollah in Lebanon, and has close links with Iran. But hey, apart from that, surely he is an ideal partner for peace. That’s what Mitchell and US State reckons and that’s what the BBC pushes. In truth, Syria is a pro-terror tyranny but in this golden age of Obama, it is now seen as a beacon for hope and change.

SYRIAN SIRENS

SYRIAN SIRENS
Had to laugh at the name of the Syrian spokesman from the London Embassy given a fawning interview on Today this morning – Jihad Makdissi. The irony was lost on the Beeb. Ol’ Jihad was allowed to waffle on about how those evil Americans had flown their helicopters into sovereign Syrian territory and murdered innocent men, women and children. Ed Sturgeon showed his disinterest in interrogating Mr Jihad on the other Jihad that has its genesis in Syria by asking inane and closed questions on the topic. Then for good measure, Jeremy Al Bowen popped up and suggested that Syria was moving in a western direction and the timing of the American raid was unfortunate. At no point does the BBC even contemplate the possibility that Syria has been an active terror enabler for years and so in the BBC mind the Americans are once again child-killers randomly moving into Syrian territory for no good reason.
