The Wall Street Journal burst at the seams today (Oct 7, 2015) with anti-Russian articles. Amazing. And sad. The lack of logic and coherence in the writings is astonishing. Obviously, they talk a lot about the Middle East. It seems nobody wants to invest any thinking (leave alone analysis) into what they write. The US-led 'coalition' has been bombing the ISIS since 2012. What's the result? Not much. The Russians have offered to share their intelligence, the US refuses. What's been done to intercept ISIS oil sales and funding channels? Anything? Are those a really big mystery?
Matt Bradley and Ghassan Adnan write that Iraqi "lawmakers and militia leaders have pressed Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to invite Russia to intervene in Iraq. Mr. Abadi said last week that he would welcome Russian airstrikes in Iraq as long as they were coordinated with the US-led coalition." Hmm, obviously. What do they know about the ISIS and the ISIS threat, those lawmakers and militia leaders. Especially, when Petraeus, "America's greatest living general", urges for airstrikes on Asad, writes Bret Stephens. I wish the ISIS leaders read the Wall Street Journal, their heads would split for certain.
Amazingly, Adam Entous writes: 'There have long been skeptics within the Obama administration and the Congress about the CIA's arm-and-train program in Syria'. Seriously? Is that what they are skeptical about? There is no skepticism about the overall US strategy in the Middle East which has wrought only bloody havoc in the region?
According to Emre Peker, Donald Tusk 'on Tuesday said more than three million Syrians may seek refuge in Europe if the Assad regime prevails...' One could wonder whether these people have lost their cognitive function.
