‘NATO runs covert ops against Syria’

“Last week, the NATO powers launched their long-awaited summer offensive against Syria. This was a multi-pronged effort designed not just to overthrow the government of President Assad, but also to totally disintegrate the existing structures of the Syrian state, dissolving the entire country into chaos, confusion, secession, attempted coups d’état, and a likely massacre of Assad backers, Alawites, Christians, Kurds, and other minority groups,” Dr. Webster G. Tarpley wrote in an article published on Press TV website.

The reason for NATO’s covert operation, Tarpley says, is that they cannot obtain a UN Security Council resolution authorizing a no-fly zone, a bombing campaign, and incursions by special forces against Syria because of the opposition of Russia and China.

“Another method would be to form a coalition of the willing outside of the United Nations and proceed to the attack, as was done in the cases of Serbia and Iraq. But, with Russian President Vladimir Putin reasserting Russia’s support for Syria, this method poses the risk of Russian and Chinese retaliation in ways which the Anglo-Americans might find extremely painful.”

Tarpley added that the Syrian government, however, has proved to be much stronger than the NATO planners had imagined, and the NATO’s attack failed once again.

As it became clear that NATO’s plans for Syria were failing, “King Abdullah of Jordan began harping on the danger that Syrian chemical weapons might be used or get out of control – an established meme of NATO propaganda.”

“NATO is clearly still looking for a pretext to attack, but the eleven Russian warships assigned to Tartus and the eastern Mediterranean [have] left that approach fraught with peril,” Tarpley concludes.
