Or the fact that Saudi Araba has funded bin laden and its own terrorists network cells?
So from what post alone you wouldnt have any problems of America and UN or the New World Order then? since you responded that way, it seems that.
So its ok for Britain and America and its puppet allies in Eurpoe to be siding with the Saudi Arabian royal family which has ruled KSA for more then 200 years.

That's why Syria is armed up with T-72's, BRDM's, BMP's, RPG's, and AK's - not your standard "western" armament
And since when did it matter where the armaments came from, surely it only matters who is footing the bill? Wasn't it you who told me that you had a friend who could get anything? And if one is careful and wise enough to the game, would they really be supplying arms direct from a manufacturer in their own country?
In the Iran-Contra deal, a lot of those armaments came out of France for the very reason that Casey didn't want them to be traceable to the US in the event that the shipments were intercepted on their very circuitous route.

The 3 years since 2008 constitutes "decades" now? is that some of that fuzzy math I keep hearing about?

That's what they do when they run out of ammo.
AND THAT'S A FACT.
Agent is all one sided, and it is has always been the losing side when it comes to falling regimes. He thinks his unique 6 year old experience refugeeing from Bosnia entitles him to hate on the US as he is snuggled up safely in the bosom of Canada. I find no other way to sum it up, I put it as lightly as possible.
In the event, according to Loftus and Aarons, Casey got cold feet. He was worried that the TOW missiles could be traced and proposed sending the Iranians French STRIM missiles instead. But the Iranians refused to accept the French missiles; they wanted US ones. So Aspin set up another deal that did go through.
Claims of British involvement are not limited to Aspin nor to his briefings with Gow. Loftus and Aarons allege that a senior diplomat in the British Embassy in Washington at the time, Andrew Green, regularly met North. Green confirmed to the Independent yesterday that he had met North, but not to discuss Iran-Contra.
The US would have had good reason to involve Britain: London had excellent contacts with Middle Eastern drugs and arms dealers, who were well positioned to facilitate the Irangate trade. In particular, the British had recruited as an agent a notorious Syrian drug dealer, Monzer Al-Kassar, whom Aspin knew from the Seventies when they had been involved in gun-running.

Are you Agent's brother from another mother or the same one? I only ask because all you do is high five him in every thread. Sorry, but that's an observable FACT. If not where do I get my very own mini me? Is it in the dropdown menu of ATS ?edit on 18-7-2012 by TinfoilTP because: (no reason given)
Agent_USA_Supporter is one of the few left here who is independent...
While meetings took place between Britain and Syria, and Ministers exchanged visits, the British were also providing support to the Syrian Brotherhood in attempts to overthrow Assad. And, Foreign Office officials are on records at the time encouraging increased relations with the Muslim Brotherhood as a means of countering more 'radical' groups. Hence the simplicity of the situation from my perspective. All bases were covered, all with the objective of ensuring that whoever did gain (or on the off-chance maintain) power, they were indebted to the UK for their support. It doesn't matter who gets power, so much as who doesn't. And the who that doesn't, is any truly nationalist democratic movement. That is the threat to be avoided. That and anyone who would be willing to form a strategic alliance with Iran. The UK, and I suspect the US, will back anyone, in order to avoid that eventuality, no matter what the long term consequences on the international scale.
