The United States government can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but it cannot fool all of the people all of the time. That's why when State Department Spokesman John Kirby bragged up Washington's sordid achievements of 2015, even things that they never did, such as the declaration that the US brought "peace and security to Syria," everyone in the entire world raised eyebrows and said come again?

Writing in his laudatory year-in-review, Kirby further bragged of the US "stepping up to aid the Syrian people during their time of need," while taking credit for peace talks set for next month. Ironically, the peace talks are the fruit of a joint Russian-Iranian effort to get the opposition groups - not "moderate" terrorists - to talk with the Syrian government, something the War Party and its vassals had long resisted and openly opposed. Kirby's silly declaration notwithstanding, the War Party is no longer able to hide the bitter truth about the ongoing proxy war from hardcore thinkers:

The US has been bombing Syria for years to affect regime change and the nation is shedding millions of refugees as a result. Despite Kirby's efforts to couch America's involvement as a "humanitarian contribution," it consists pretty much exclusively of regime-change fantasy, all while arming "moderate" terrorists and allowing US bombers to be at the service of ISIL, Al-Qaeda and other proxies - the same goons that attacked Paris in November.
When it comes to Syria, state demolition and not "peace and security" is the best choice to describe what the United States and its rogue partners have delivered there thus far. Any doubters should ask the United Nations Security Council, which says the conflict has killed some 250,000 people and displaced 12 million.
According to human rights groups, despite the role of US military intervention in fuelling the rise of ISIL and conflict in Syria and Iraq, the American humanitarian response is severely lagging. Washington has admitted just about 1,854 Syrian refugees since 2012, and they will only take in more after two years of security checks.
The UN has registered over 2.1 million Syrian refugees in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon; 1.9 million in Turkey; and nearly 30,000 in North Africa. All of these numbers are low, as many refugees do not register. Further, these numbers fall well below calls for the US to resettle at least 100,000 refugees next year.

The truly scary thing about all this is that while aid falls short, the War Party's devastating "humanitarian contribution" continues to escalate, despite UN warnings that there is no American military solution to the crisis. This is while Amnesty International says ISIL has formed a formidable arsenal, in part thanks to large stockpiles of US weapons supplied by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey, and/or "accidentally" dropped by US war planes on the territory the terrorist group holds.

It is said the visionary lies to himself and the liar only to others. When it comes to Syria, the political class in Washington not only lie to themselves, but also to everyone in the entire world. Kirby's declaration of "success" in Syria is half-truth, the darkest of all lies, and indeed the biggest lie of 2015. He doesn't have a good enough memory to be a successful liar.

Comment: The best lies are not this obvious! Perhaps Kirby believes his own country's propaganda where perception is purposefully completely twisted and facts don't matter. Eyebrow raising? How about a bona fide trial-by-public truthification! The US definitely brought something to Syria, but it most assuredly wasn't peace!!!

lol... after the auto industries received their bailout, they packed up and moved to Mexico.. they "bailed out" of the US...

and Hilliary will make it more better

If you want to deal with the actual reality of this, and get past the incredibly dense thicket of political manipulations around it (i.e. if you are interested in facts instead of opinions about the facts), you really need to read the actual original post that John Kirby made.

Not the reinterpreted version that is presented in the excerpted article.

I'm not going to claim that it is a masterpiece of dry and accurate analysis, it isn't. But it ALSO is not what this article has pretended it is.



Okay. That does NOT say what this article claims it says.

IN ADDITION: No, contrary to what some claim, the Russians have NOT been the "real leaders" in resolving anything at all about Syria. Quite the reverse, really, since they have only gone after ISIS occasionally, and have mostly worked to undo whatever the US tried to do. They bombed as many hospitals, as they did military targets.

Yes, this is a POLITICAL PUFF PIECE post by Kirby, a post designed not as a formal Administration Policy Paper, but more as a State Department end of year Buck Up The Employees kind of thing.

Most of all,it isn't worthy of this level of attack, because it ISN'T a formal piece designed to represent the entire Administration.

why dissolve a democratically elected government? they are not doing it for the people of Syria, they have monetary reasons, just like Iraq and Afghanistan... lies built around lies, the liberal way...
