Lawrence of Kurdistan Backstabs Turkey: NATO Allies? Not From Where I Sit.
Before kicking this post off there are two points that should be stated:1- Baghdadi didn't exist as presented:
At best he's a bad actor. A mascot for a team of terrorists called, known as or identified as ISIS/L. Every team needs a mascot. Baghdadi fulfilled that role.
2- The US wants to control Syria's oil for a number of reasons:
(a) the purpose of DENYING access to the oil from Damascus. Damascus needs the oil to support it's population and rebuild the nation. This FACT has been discussed repeatedly here. The US does NOT want this to occur. Therefore they are staying put. And their Kurdish proxies are staying beside them.
(b) The US wants their Kurdish proxies to have control of the oil so they have the ability to deny access to Damascus and Syrians in general while they enrich themselves and the stolen territory they call Rojova.
Let's move on to the oped from Lawrence of Kurdistan aka Brett McGurk
Narratives are definitely solidifying. One can start to get a feel for where the killing of Baghdadi psyop is heading. It started yesterday with what was an obvious move to redeem the Usrael Kurds.
The narrative gaining traction is a continuation of the "bad Turkey" narrative with a new twist. Turkey was sheltering Baghdadi. There is no proof of that what so ever, other then aspersion and conjecture. Which is what Brett McGurk engages in all throughout his oped. Sadly that is good enough for most. Should be interesting to see how/who this spreads through the 'alternative' media.
So you'll get the reference....Brett McGurk reenacts the role of “Lawrence of Arabia” in destabilizing/destroying the Ottoman empire of so long ago— Also, keep in mind that we’ve been constantly spoon fed the Ottoman empire meme the last 8 years or so, same as we get the Tsar spin. History repeats to some extent in this continuation of the remake the region agenda.
Note to readers: The Ottoman Empire does not exist. In theory or practice.

Brett McGurk @ WaPo : “Baghdadi’s Death Underscores What We’ve Lot by Abandoning Syria’s Kurds”
Brett McGurk, the Payne distinguished lecturer at Stanford University and a nonresident senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, served from 2015 to 2018 as a special presidential envoy for the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS.
FACT: The US has NOT abandoned the Kurds. Nor have they withdrawn troops.
Going to hattip Yaya for leaving this comment and link, excerpt below:

In the transcript of Trump's announcement about Baghdadi oil is mentioned 22 times. You're right, of course. The troops will not withdraw:
Trump:
"Look, we don’t want to keep soldiers between Syria and Turkey for the next 200 years. They’ve been fighting for hundreds of years. We’re out. But we are leaving soldiers to secure the oil. And we may have to fight for the oil. It’s okay"
https://ift.tt/31SgdLMLet's read the spin from McGurk and WaPo
“Turkey also has some explaining to do. Baghdadi was found not in his traditional areas of eastern Syria or western Iraq, but rather in northwestern Syria — just a few miles from Turkey’s border, and in Idlib province, which has been protected by a dozen Turkish military outposts since early 2018.”Baghdadi's "traditional areas of eastern Syria and western Iraq"In the same locations as the Usrael Kurds. What a coincidence! Not. Let's get to Idlib. Is Idlib province SOLELY and ONLY protected by a dozen Turkish military outposts? Is that accurate? Of course it’s not accurate. Are there other parties involved in policing Idlib? Of course there are. Therefore Brett McGurk is lying by omission.
Lying by omission is when a person leaves out important information or fails to correct a pre-existing misconception in order to hide the truth from others.The map below and another one like it have been shown here at the blog repeatedly. The map shows multiple outposts of the Astana 3 around Idlib. Turkey, Iran and Russia all have outposts “protecting” the area. And of course SAA is on the ground too.
One of the maps will be featured below yet again! You can find it in this post as well
Syrian Government Forces are stationed around Idlib. Russia, Turkey and Iran all have outposts around Idlib as well |
Clearly, Brett McGurk by not acknowledging the on the ground presence of multiple parties is lying by omission as he continues on with his backstabbing of Turkey/Redemption of Usrael Kurds
“Idlib has become the world’s largest terrorist haven..”And the stomping grounds for the vaunted “White Helmets” who are supported by the US and UK. Is McGurk admitting they are terrorists? I'd call that a gem of truth hidden in among McGurk's lies.
“This reality remains a serious threat to U.S. national security; unfortunately, our ability to gain information in these areas will depend not on Turkey but on the other allies we have established in Syria, particularly the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). It was not a surprise to hear President Trump confirm that credible information leading to Baghdadi came from the SDF. This has been the case for nearly all similar operations targeting ISIS leaders in Syria.”Can’t depend on Turkey, but, we can rely on the SDF because they are "credible" ??
According to McGurk, anyway. I have other thoughts about what they are. TERRORIST PROXIES. Allies of Israel. Allies of the US. Proxy fighters with a long history of terror and destabilization. Lawrence of Kurdistan continues on with yet another lie of omission.
“The United States helped develop the SDF — a force that grew to 60,000 fighters, including Arabs, Kurds and Christians — as the infantry to defeat the Islamic State caliphate because there were no available alternatives. The United States had sought to build a counter-Islamic State force with the support of Turkey, but two administrations found Turkish-backed forces too riddled with extremists to partner with”There are reports here about the offers Turkey made to work with the US to target ISIS.
* The US made no move to work with their NATO ally instead choosing, willfully, to heavily arm the Usrael Kurds. Long time terrorizers to Turks and Kurds alike resident in Turkey. The US chose to heavily arm their Usrael Kurdish proxies as they engaged in ethnic cleansing, annexing of territory, stealing Syrian resources, smuggling etc., That’s the reality.
* The US could have, as a matter of fact, worked with the national army of their NATO allies But the US did not want to exercise that option. More lies of omission.
Much of McGurk’s oped is one big exercise in managing your perception- so read at your own risk-
