...even though we have been supplying the Syrian rebels and militants to the teeth with brand spanking new weaponry but will throw a fit if Russian supplies 'defensive' weapons to Syria
US officials this Thursday called for Russia not to conduct arm sales to Syria as news reports surfaced that Moscow was ready to sell advanced ground-to-air missiles - the S-300 system to Syria.
Israel informed the U.S. about the sale of the missile batteries, claiming Syria has been making payments on a 2010 agreement with Moscow to buy six launchers and 144 operational missiles for $900 million according to the information the Israeli`s provided.
Commenting on the media reports, US Secretary of State John Kerry said earlier in the day that “the missiles are potentially destabilizing with respect to the state of Israel.”
Again, the key word said by Kerry - "...state of Israel," its always about Israel and nothing else it seems in the world.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said that “the provision of additional weapons to the regime will not hasten a political solution,...including air defense systems that are destabilizing to the region.”
Well here he said 'region' while another said 'Israel' but do get the picture in the end though.
Of course Israel and the U.S. doesn`t want Syria to get the powerful S-300 missile system as it is a 'game changer,' meaning effectively Syria would be 'hands off.' They successfully lobbied Russia when they persuaded Moscow as to not fulfill a contract with Iran about the similar S-300 missile system - in the event Israel and the U.S. launched airstrikes to maintain air superiority.
Now the sale of Russian weapons to Syria has always been a source of bilateral tension between Moscow and Washington, with US officials accusing Russia of arming a regime the United States says is killing its own citizens in Syria’s raging civil war.
But who is killing who? What is the real status quo in Syria? The Syrian rebels and militants are on record of being Al-Qaeda affiliated and media reports confirmed today that the rebels are defecting to the Islamist group Jabhat al-Nusra. Jabhat al-Nusra is a known Al-Qaeda group and designated as a terrorist organisation by our State Dept. It is the same rebels as evidenced by the UN who used deadly chemicals weapons...but of course the great superpowers of the world don`t care and brush off the news as 'false' and 'skeptical.'
Russia, however, has insisted that the deliveries are legal under international law and that it is not supplying Syria, [...] with offensive weapons which can be used to kill civilians.
As the world powers play around, innocent civilians are caught in the cross hairs so to speak and pay the ultimate price. They want to turn Syria into Libya...how the 'presstitute' media has forgotten Libya? Do they even KNOW or CARE what the current situation is on the ground there? Of course not, their job is done and have their sights on Syria and Iran. We all know the rebels and militants are completely equipped and financed from abroad who are Al-Qaeda affiliated and at the direction of the West,... yet they spin it in such a way that we are made to believe its a 'populous uprising' against a tyrant. Oh how we miscalculate and mistreat history, we never do indeed learn from history...until its too late.

UN 'has evidence' the Syrian rebels NOT government troops used chemical weapons
Syria: Carla Del Ponte shock, "rebels have used chemical weapons"
AGI

(AGI) - Rome, May 5 - The source and authoritative: Carla del Ponte, the former prosecutor of the Swiss magistrate International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia from 1999 to 2007, states that the United Nations has the evidence - so far - to use "chemical weapons", starting from lethal "sarin gas" in Syria were insurgents and not men loyal to the regime of Bashar al Assad. Then to cross the impassable limit (the "red line") has mentioned more 'times Barack Obama, threatening reaction if using chemical weapons had been Assad, would have been the opposition forces.
He said the microphones of the RSI (Swiss Italian Radio dela) Del Ponte, a member of the UN Commission investigating the war crimes committed in Syria.
"According to the testimonies we collected the rebels have used chemical weapons, using sarin gas" , Del Ponte said adding, however, 'that "the investigation is far from being concluded."
"Our investigations will have to be further examined, tested and proven through new witnesses but as far as we could determine, at the moment are only opponents of the regime to have used the gas (sarin) sarin" said Carla Del Ponte, according to which only the investigation, still in progress, will determine if the Damascus government has or not, used such weapons.
Del Ponte said that the evidence has been collected by "investigators", UN, "on the spot in the neighboring countries, which have questioned the various victims of hospitals and physicians." The former Swiss prosecutor says he, "last seen in a report last week that there are concrete suspicions, if not yet conclusive evidence, and that 'was used sarin gas, for how victims were treated," and, "and this usage 'was made by the opponents of the rebels ... and not by the authorities' government." Del Ponte pointing the finger but 'not on anti-Assad Syrians but against the fringes Qaedist stressing that, "the fact is not surprising because' in the opponents have infiltrated foreign fighters."
WE ARE THE ALIBI FOR THE COMMUNITY 'INTERNATIONAL
The UN commission of inquiry on Syria, and 'only' an alibi for the community 'international', for its inaction.
This is the bitter complaint of Del Ponte, who believes that in order not to drop into the void crimes - from all parties - in more than two years of conflict, you need the 'community' International and Security Council (UN) decide that the permanent court (the International Criminal Court in The Hague, ed) take on these cases. "
Del Ponte 'then convinced that in order to silence the weapons serve an agreement between, "the United States and Russia (Assad's main ally on the Security Council)." "If (Washington and Moscow), they will agree we could have peace, unfortunately not 'happened yet but a little hope there'," said Del Ponte.
