“The crisis
is at its end” is no longer a relieving statement made by some political
analysts, as the crisis is really close to its end. Baba Amro is now
under the control of the Syrian army… and so are the armed groups of which a
big number escaped to the Lebanese borders dubbing their retreat
“tactical”.
Around 700 Arab and
Western gunmen surrendered in Baba Amro, well-informed sources told Al-Manar
website, adding that “huge and critical surprises will be uncovered in the
coming few days… such as the kinds of arms seized, as well as the military
tactics the armed groups followed, and the sides that supervised the
operations.”
The sources further
assured to the news website that the security operation in Homs will be over in
a maximum of five to eight days.
WEAPONS
FROM ISRAEL USED FOR FIRST TIME IN BABA AMRO
For his part, Syrian
expert in strategic affairs Salim Harba pointed out that Baba Amro neighborhood
and the areas surrounding it were emptied from the armed groups’ organizational
as well as command structures with minimum army and civilian casualties, as the
area was mainly concentrated by gunmen.
Speaking to Al-Manar
website, Harba said that “the captured gunmen held Arab nationalities;
including Gulf, Iraqi, and Lebanese… among them were also Qatari intelligence
agents and non-Arab fighters from Afghanistan, Turkey, and some European
countries like France.
“The Syrian army also
uncovered tunnels and equipments there,” he added, pointing out that “advanced
Israeli, European, and American arms that have not yet been tested in the
countries of manufacture, in addition to Israeli grenades, night binoculars,
and communication systems were confiscated by the security forces.”
Harba went on saying that
“communication stations where established on the Lebanese borders to oversee
the military operations in Baba Amro, and to ensure contact between field
commanders and a coordination office led by members of information in the
Qatari capital Doha.”
He clarified that “the
escape of British journalists from Homs through the Lebanese-Syrian borders was
the result of this coordination.”
In parallel, the Syrian
strategic expert revealed that “the communication stations were being operated
by Lebanese figures; some of them were members of the Future parliamentary
bloc,” and considered that “these figures worked on transforming Wadi Khaled
region into a strategic depth for Baba Amro.”
MOSSAD,
BLACKWATER DIRECTED FROM QATAR OPERATIONS IN HOMS
Additionally, Salim Harba
revealed to Al-Manar website that “a coordination office was established in
Qatar under American-Gulf sponsorship. The office includes American, French,
and Gulf ~ specifically from Qatar and Saudi Arabia ~ intelligence agents, as
well as CIA, Mossad, and Blackwater agents and members of the Syrian
Transitional Council.”
“Qatar has also made
deals with Israeli and American companies to arm the armed groups, and Gulf
countries have been financing the agreements,” he added.
The Syrian expert pointed
out that “the significance of the security operation in Homs is due to the high
expectations that regional and international sides had from the armed gangs in
Baba Amro … they wanted Homs to be turned into a new Benghazi.”
Indicating that the
operation was implemented with high professionalism and accuracy, Harba
reassured that documents will be exposed at the right time.
“The authority will not reveal everything it has now… the Syrian security forces have documents and confessions that could harm everyone who conspired against Syria, and could make a security and political change, not just on the internal Syrian level, but also on the regional level,” he assured.
In the same context,
Harba considered that all the conferences and meetings by what he referred to
as the “enemies of Syria” were aimed at paving the way for an American
initiative under a “humanitarian” title.
He concluded:
“At the end, the US will submit to the Russian initiative after it realized that confrontations will only result in its defeat, and that the Syrian regime is still strong enough to deal with any conspiracy.”

Ron Paul, the best and only Constitutional candidate for United States President, on this subject, keep in mind that in the writing of the Founding Fathers, they were perfectly aware of the European History of trying to interfere in the Middle East and the entangling Alliances that arose out of that, particularly in terms of Naval presence in the Mediterranean. The Founding Fathers wanted free trade with the entire Mediterranean peoples and cultures but no military involvement with the European conflicts with the Middle East at all. Very wise and still is.

"It's easy to dismiss the noninterventionist view as the quaint aspiration of men who lived in a less complicated world, but it's not so easy to demonstrate how our current policies serve any national interest at all. Perhaps an honest examination of the history of American interventionism in the 20th century, from Korea to Vietnam to Kosovo to the Middle East, would reveal that the Founding Fathers foresaw more than we think."
