Former U.S. secretary of state Henry Kissinger says the American media are not telling the truth about the current situation in Syria.
“In the American press it’s described as a conflict between democracy and a dictator- and the dictator is killing his own people, and we’ve got to punish him. But that’s not what’s going on,” he said during a speech at the Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan.
“It is now a civil war between sectarian groups,” Kissinger added.
Kissinger’s remarks come as the United States has been criticized for fomenting sectarian discord in Syria and the broader Middle East by interfering in the nations’ internal affairs and backing up insurgencies.
Elsewhere in his remarks Kissinger said “the outcome I would prefer to see” in Syria was a broken-up and balkanized country with “more or less autonomous regions.”
U.S. President Barack Obama has authorized sending weapons to foreign-backed militants in Syria, further escalating the conflict in the Arab country.
The White House earlier accused the Syrian government of using chemical weapons against the militants, an allegation denied by Damascus.
Obama’s policies regarding Syria have been attacked by some American politicians.
Former Congressman Ron Paul said the Obama administration was “escalating” the war in Syria by sending weapons to the militants.
“Today we heard from President Obama that the war in Syria will be escalated. He now has agreed to send weaponry in to assist the rebels. It’s escalation, that’s a proper word, because we’ve already been involved for quite a few months. We’ve been supporting the rebels for probably the past two years, supposedly for humanitarian reasons,” he said in a statement posted on YouTube.
“But now there is going to be a much more aggressive approach and we’re going to send weapons. There is a few problems with this, first off it’s war. Second thing is presidents are not supposed to start war without permission from the people through a congressional declaration of war,” Paul argued.
The unrest in Syria erupted over two years ago and many people, including large numbers of Syrian soldiers and security personnel, have been killed in the conflict.
Damascus says the conflict is being engineered from outside the country, and there are reports that a very large number of the militants fighting in Syria are foreign nationals.

While I usually don’t agree with Kissinger, he is correct in this situation and so is Ron Paul. The United States is oncce again meddling in the Nation Building of another country where we have no business sticking our nose. We need to butt out of places like Syria, Egypt, Libya and Afghanistan and let the people there determine their own fate as they have done for thousands of years. One has to wonder, how did all those countries ever survive with Uncle Sam sticking his nose into their business. We need those vast sums of tax dollars here at thome to create jobs and pay down the National Debt.
Of course they are lying! I do not need a Zionist A$$ to tell me this.
Any word out of Kissinjew’s mouth IS A LIE. This old jew , and many others have been constantly working to build a ‘Greater Isntreal’ using American money and goy American blood. In a normal, non-bizzarro world, America would be supporting Assad.
This war was planned and supported by the CIA. I don’t believe there is any question about that. The US made it knownyears ago that for its own ulterior reasons it wanted regime change in Syria. Why wouldn’t we all now believe that the US had the major part in starting this sectarian war? It’s not like it hasn’t been done before?
The U.S. & the entire world would have been a much better & safer place had Ron Paul been elected president. Instead, my fellow Americans and a most substantial number of illegal aliens elected a biracial community organizer who has produced a forged birth certificate, is using a dead man’s social security number and other official identifying documents in support of his eligibility to hold office. Perhaps even worse, Obama has used his Constitutional Law education, knowledge and training to disrespect and circumvent the highest law in the land and destroy the value system upon which the country was founded.
Of course the country would have been better but you might as well let this entire concept go. Paul was NEVER going to be president. Presidents are picked years in advance and the American voting system is a scam nothing more.
Romney was never going to be president that was nothing but a ruse to make Americans think the system works.
You cannot fix a problem with the same kind of thinking that created it. A broken criminal voting system filled with fraud will never fix itself.
He may have actually won, but it’s not the voters who count, it’s the one who counts the votes who count, and they are in the elite’s back pockets, so you will have who they want to be president, forever. Even if EVERYONE didn’t vote, they would still miraculously have a winner – probably with a landslide vote, as they own the press too.
So much voter fraud was reported. 1.5 million illegal votes in California alone. Ohio voters reporting watching their votes change from Romney to Obama before their eyes. over 100 precincts in Pennsylvania reporting 100% Obama votes, no Romneys. A statistical impossibility but here are more facts:
To date, 46 states have prosecuted or convicted cases of voter fraud.
More than 24 million voter registrations are invalid, yet remain on the rolls nation-wide.
There are over 1.8 million dead voters still eligible on the rolls across the country.
More than 2.75 million Americans are registered to vote in more than one state.
True The Vote recently found 99 cases of potential felony interstate voter fraud.
Maryland affiliates of True The Vote uncovered cases of people registering and voting after their respective deaths.
This year, True The Vote uncovered more than 348,000 dead people on the rolls in 27 states.
California: 49,000
Florida: 30,000
Texas: 28,500
Michigan: 25,000
Illinois: 24,000
12 Indiana counties have more registered voters than residents.
The Ohio Secretary of State admitted that multiple Ohio counties have more registered voters than residents.
Federal records showed 160 counties in 19 states have over 100 percent voter registration.
The Florida New Majority Education Fund, Democratic Party of Florida and the National Council of La Raza are currently under investigation for alleged voter registration fraud.
True The Vote is Chuck Norris approved.
How popular is Voter ID?
74 percent of Americans support, according to The Washington Post.
71 percent of Latinos support it, according to the PEW Research Center.
How did our voting records get so bad?
Various groups threaten local election authorities to not maintain their rolls according to federal law:

The worst records and the worst run elections are in Republican jurisdictions. Republicans do not win elections, Democrats lose them. The majority of Americans are left leaning and if Democrats work hard enough to get them out,they will prevent the Republicans from slipping in based on their fraudulent election practices, if they don’t, well, they will lose.
You are clueless. It is that simple. If you cannot recognize that voter fraud takes place when the proof is given then you are a troll. You have already stated you are not American so why are you posting at all? Because you are a government troll.
%War you are acting like the zombies in the new Brad Pitt movie. Wahtever your little coterie of right wing extremists tell you is the truth and everyone else lies. Too bad, so sad but you are dead wrong!
Still a troll with no value your comments. You obviously are an American though you claim you are not. You tote the democratic line and have supported known criminals in the US Government. Nobody is buying your line and you are a waste of my time.
I hope, troll, that you get what you deserve because you are selling America into slavery.
Just remember when the SHTF you will be on the wrong side because of your actions. You will be dealt with accordingly. Zionist tool.
I’m not at all worried 5War because I know I’m correct on this one!
