That seems to be what's coming
with the “Arab League Observer Team” in Syria.
You probably didn't hear, but the
head of this “Observer Team” is a Sudanese general and ex-head of that
murderous regime's military “intelligence.” Hmmm. If you rely on U.S.
Media for your information, you probably haven't heard that. So far not much
mention of it I've heard or read in that media- a passing mention buried deep
in just one NY Times article about Syria- a week after the BBC had a
Human Rights Watch man on who reported it, until today, where it comes up in a
more extensive article about the “observers” and their critics and the
situation in Syria.
The deaf, dumb and blind
“observers” apparently can't see what everyone else in the world can see, for
example the savage assault on Homs in the days before the “Observers” arrival,
shelling the homes and attacking with tanks. Scores more killed, plus
kidnappings of young men.
Despite tear gas attacks to drive
them away, on Tuesday December 27 residents of Homs bravely approached the
“observers” to inform these Blind Mice what is going on.
The Sudanese State Terrorist
heading the “Observer Team” said things were calm in Homs, but some areas had
problems. Perhaps he noticed the results of artillery shelling.
I wonder what the “observers” made
of the fake pro-Assad “demos” staged by Assad's militia dressed in civvies in
Homs, who were bused in for the purpose. Such a sick game.
We can see where this is going.
The sado-terrorist regime will point to its own pathetic political theater to
say the people of Homs support the regime that is murdering them, and reiterate
that the problem is “armed gangs” and “terrorists” and “Al-Qaeda.” (I liked the
touch of setting off car bombs near their own secret police HQ in Damascus just
as the “observers” arrived in-country, and then announcing 30 minutes later that
“investigation” showed Al-Qaeda did it. With such super-efficiency, I wonder
why they can't suppress some “armed gangs” for nine months.
Human Rights Watch says the regime
has hidden hundreds of political prisoners on military bases, which the
appeasement-minded Arab League agreed are off-limits to its “observers.” You
can see what’s next: the Assad gangsters will avow that they met their
“obligation” to release political prisoners because, hey, there aren’t any
political prisoners!
A posted video showed residents of
the besieged Baba Amr neighborhood of Homs begging the feckless observers to
come see what was happening. “Go see what’s inside. They’re massacring us” a
local man beseeched. But apparently the sight of a parked tank and some
gunshots was enough to scare off the Arab League stooges, who refused to go
farther.
The observers were barred entirely from the town of Dara'a, due to "security restrictions." God only knows what Assad's butchers are up to there.
After making a big noise about
sending “500” observers, the League could only scrape together 60
mostly-unqualified representatives with no experience in human rights
investigations or interviewing witnesses. It’s just a show to pretend to be
doing something, to show “concern,” to pretend to be engaged, while Assad and
his henchmen play their cynical game of stringing the other Arabs along. But since all these regimes are brutal and
repressive, it’s just a matter of degree. It’s like a block inhabited by
wife-beaters, uncomfortable about one of their neighbors in the process of
murdering his wife. It’s a bit farther than they would go, but on the same
spectrum of violence.
What’s different now from when
Assad’s tyrant daddy massacred ten to twenty thousand in an Islamic uprising is
the Arab Spring. Populations are getting restive and coming alive to the
possibility of changing the governments that rule them, maybe even creating
democracies. So the various rulers have to put on a show of concern over gross
atrocities as those in Syria.
