President Obama Supplying Weapons To Syrian Rebels For Use Against Israel?

TEL-AVIV, Israel - American secret service operatives are delivering anti-tank rocket launchers, illegal assault rifles, and ammunition to Syrian opposition forces, according to a report issued by the New York Times.

According to the report, American (C.I.A.) officers based in Turkey have supervised the flow of illegal arms for weeks to numerous opposition factions, supposedly for use against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.  They are being brought into Syria over the Turkish border with help from Muslim Brotherhood members operating in Syria.  Expenses (for the weapons?) are being shared by Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.

The source of the New York Times report is an Arab intelligence official  According to the source, the officers are collecting information on Syrian opposition groups and recruiting informants among their ranks.

The Obama administration is reported to be considering sharing its intelligence data (no mention of with whom), satellite images and detailed information on the location and maneuvers of Syrian troops.  The State Department has also reportedly set aside $15 million in medical supplies and communication equipment for anti-Assad opposition groups.

While it would seem that President Obama is trying to help the rebels overthrow President Assad, we must remember that in the past he has supported known enemies of Israel like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad in his violent suppression of the citizens of Iran protesting for more rights and freedom (his unwillingness to even voice sympathy for the people of Iran should be seen as support for Ahmedinejad and his actions), and the Muslim Brotherhood in their overthrow of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.  President Obama supported them in this by sending military aid and using NATO bombing runs against Mubarak and his army.  Both of these groups have the express intent of destroying Israel.

President Obama is not alone in his desire to destroy Israel.   Russia, while not assisting the rebels, is supplying the nation of Syria with material and technical support in the form of maintenance of Syria's MI-25 assault helicopters and anti-air missile systems.  Since the rebels have no air assault capabilities, the only reason for Syria having anti-air missile systems is to sue against Israeli jets and attack helicopters.

Reportedly, the US Pentagon is considering establishing a no-fly zone over Syria, as was done in Libya and Iraq.  This is nothing more than posturing on the part of the United States, the sole purpose of which is to lull Israel into its confidence to make them more vulnerable to attack by Syria, Iran, Russia, or some faction like al-Qaeda and Hezbollah.  The only purpose for a no-fly zone in Syria must be to attack Israeli military aircraft that might enter Syrian airspace since the Syrian rebel groups, again, have no air assault vehicles.

Recent (as of August 19, 2012) statements by Assad threatening to expand the civil war beyond its borders if Western military action against Syria happens is nothing but a veiled, yet direct, threat against Israel.

Israel should not listen to anyone telling them when to attack, as in an 'October Surprise'.  You know what you have to do.  Do it, and may the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel be with you.
