Ron Paul: US Neocons Ready to Risk Lives of American Soldiers in Syria

• Ron Paul: US Neocons Ready to Risk Lives of American Soldiers in Syria
  by http://sputniknews.com/  
  Americans must speak out now before it’s too late, Ron Paul warns, pointing to the fact that US neocons obsessed about their regime change idea have no scruples about risking the lives of US soldiers and even a major war in the region.
  –
  Although Defense Secretary Ashton Carter admitted the complete failure of the US “train and equip” program for rebels in Syria, he is not going to give up, former US congressman Ron Paul remarks.
  –
  “Instead of taking the appropriate lessons from that failure and getting out of the ‘regime change’ business, he announced the opposite. The US would not only escalate its ‘train and equip’ program by removing the requirement that fighters be vetted for extremist ideology, but according to the Secretary the US military would for the first time become directly and overtly involved in combat in Syria and Iraq,” Dr. Paul emphasized in his article for the Institute of Peace and Prosperity.
  –
  To complicate matters further, Secretary Carter proclaimed that the US would begin to fight Islamic State directly “whether by strikes from the air or direct action on the ground.” “Direct action on the ground” means US boots on the ground, the former congressman stressed.
  –
  President Obama ruled out such a possibility when he launched an anti-ISIL military campaign in Iraq and Syria last year, but it is likely the White House will break the promise now. “Did anyone think he would keep his word?” Dr. Paul asked rhetorically.
  –
  The former American congressmen pointed out that Obama claims that “his current authority to conduct war in Iraq and Syria comes from the 2001 authorization for the use of force against those who attacked the US on 9/11, or from the 2002 authorization for the use of force against Saddam Hussein.”  
  –
  But the 2002 authorization was not about Islamic State, because there was no ISIL at that time; similarly, the 2001 authorization was aimed against al-Qaeda, which did not exist in Iraq or Syria at the time.
  –
  Thus far, judicially speaking, neither of these claims makes any sense today, not to mention the fact that Obama’s year-long bombing campaign in Syria is a violation of the country’s sovereignty and is illegal according to international law, Ron Paul pointed out.

  On Morning Joe, Carl Bernstein says that because he’s Jewish, he could be permitted to reveal on national television that “Jewish” neo-cons were responsible for persuading President George W. Bush into starting an “insane” war against Iraq.
  –
• “The war in Iraq was conceived by 25 neoconservatives, most of them Jewish, who are pushing President Bush to change the course of history.”

  “A new generation has its hands on the tiller of power…Jewish neocons have emerged as the Pentagon’s Paladins…Most striking is how unmentionable this is in the liberal press…These well-placed hawks are Jewish-Americans and it is their hardcore Zionism that is shaping American foreign policy. Zionism is fast becoming a poisoned chalice…There is real madness here, but who will stop it?”
