The Watchman On The Wall

The Watchman On The Wall
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Verse 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Fulfillment of the Isaiah 17 Prophecy WR 14-98

The Syrian children are the tragic victims of this brutal war

Online videos show Syrian rebels using U.S. BGM-71 TOW anti-tank rockets. This signals a further internationalization of the conflict, with new rockets from Russia and drones from Iran also spotted in the forces of President Bashar al-Assad.
None of that equipment, however, is seen by analysts as enough to turn the tide of battle in a now broadly stalemated war. Assad’s forces are dominant in Syria’s central cities and along the Mediterranean coast and the rebels are dominant in the interior north and east.
U.S. officials declined to discuss the rockets, although Washington decided to proceed with plans to increase aid, including delivery of lower-level weaponry.
The evil leaders and governments involved in the blood bath in Syria are following God's plan towards their own eventual self-destruction, that would include the U.S. Online videos show Syrian rebels using U.S. BGM-71 TOW anti-tank rockets. As you watch the video below ask yourself this question. Do the jihadists act and look like moderates? Since when are there moderate terrorists in the Middle East or North Africa? How long we will continue to fund our enemies?


The jihadists in the next video  identify themselves as members of Harakat Hazm and at the 3, 4, and 36 second mark in the video a TOW missile appears in one of their trucks. 


Another version of the TOW missile destroys a T-72 tank in the video below.



The furnishing of TOW missiles signals a further internationalization of the conflict, with new rockets from Russia and drones from Iran also spotted in the forces of President Bashar al-Assad.
None of that equipment, however, is seen by analysts as enough to turn the tide of battle in a now broadly stalemated war. Assad’s forces are dominant in Syria’s central cities and along the Mediterranean coast and the rebels are dominant in the interior north and east.
U.S. officials declined to discuss the rockets, although Washington decided to proceed with plans to increase aid, including delivery of lower-level weaponry.
National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said in a strange statement that the Obama administration was giving support she did not define, “The United States is committed to building the capacity of the moderate opposition, including through the provision of assistance to vetted members of the moderate armed opposition,” she said in response to a query over the rocket videos.
“As we have consistently said, we are not going to detail every single type of our assistance,” she said. Meehan put out typical U.S. State Department “Newspeak”.
Reports of u.S. anti-tank rockets are steadily spreading, analysts say.
“With U.S.-made TOW anti-tank missiles now seen in the hands of three groups in the north and south of Syria, it is safe to say this is important,” said Charles Lister, visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution Doha Centre and one of the first to identify the weapons.
The first three videos were posted on April 1 and 5, Lister said. While two have since been removed, one remains on YouTube. Gee, I wonder who had the videos removed?
He posted clearer still images on a blog for Huffington Post last week.
Several other arms experts and bloggers on the Syrian conflict have also reviewed the videos. They include Eliot Higgins, a Britain-based, self-taught arms and video specialist who blogs under the name “Brown Moses” and has emerged as one of the leading authorities on foreign firepower reaching Syria.
This Syrian child's innocence is gone forever
The rebel faction shown operating the U.S. missiles in the first videos, a relatively secular and moderate group called Harakat Hazm, declined comment. But an opposition activist based in southeastern Turkey who is a former member of Harakat Hazm said that they were provided by the Americans.
The Syrian activist, who identified himself as Samer Muhammad, said Harakat Hazm received 10 anti-tank missiles earlier this month near Aleppo and Idlib, two cities torn by heavy fighting near the northern border with Turkey.
He said that Harakat Hazm had launched five of those rockets to destroy four tanks and win a battle in the Idlib suburbs of Babulin and Salheiya, and this was the first time such U.S. arms had figured in Syria’s fighting.
His information could not be confirmed independently.
More recent videos had shown the rockets in the hands of the Syrian Revolutionary Front and another group named Awliya wa Katalib al-Shaheed Ahmed al-Abdo, Jessop said. Both are also seen as broadly moderate, in contrast with radical Islamists.
Western states have long been reluctant to make good on repeated talk of supplying weapons to Assad’s foes, nervous of arms falling into the hands of jihadi militants or simply abetting more bloodshed in a conflict that has killed over 150,000 people and displaced millions over the past three years.
Lister said that if Washington were unwilling to supply TOW rockets itself, the most likely point of origin was Saudi Arabia which has thousands of anti-tank projectiles in its arsenal.
Under terms of the original sale, Riyadh would be obliged to tell Washington if it were transferring them to any third party. Oh, of course, the Saudis tell the U.S. everything they do!
“Considering the groups already seen with these missile systems and considering Saudis’ already established reputation for providing weapons to moderate… groups, (I guess like moderate al Qaeda) Saudi would seem the most likely candidate at this stage,” Lister said.
The other major regional supporter of the rebels, Qatar, apparently do not hold such rockets in its regular military stores, analysts say, and may have bought Chinese weaponry from elsewhere, perhaps Sudan, for shipment to rebels last year.
Chinese-built HJ-8 anti-tank guided missiles remain a relatively common part of the rebel arsenal, according to Syria arms experts. HJ-8s first popped up largely in the hands of Islamist groups early last year, possibly coming from Qatar.
More recent shipments have been noticed in the hands of relatively secular insurgent factions and are believed by analysts to have been supplied by Saudi Arabia instead.
Use of Chinese MANPAD anti-aircraft missiles by Islamist militants has dwindled in recent months, monitors say. Such missiles arrived last year, again believed to have come from Qatar, a development that particularly worried Western states.
“I suspect there’s been two waves of Chinese weapons, the first from Qatar and the second from Saudi Arabia going to different groups,” said “Brown Moses” blogger Higgins.
The United States and other Gulf Arab states have bemoaned Qatar’s scattergun approach to arming rebel forces that has seen many weapons end up in the hands of fighters affiliated with al Qaeda linked and other radical Islamists. Qatari and Saudi officials will not discuss their Syria policy in detail.
The Gulf States have also been alarmed by growing signs of support from Iran for Assad’s military. The latest new piece of Iranian equipment to appear on the battlefield, an unmanned Shahed 129 drone photographed over Damascus, is said by Tehran to carry weapons as well as conduct surveillance.

Higgins said the other most significant development in Syrian conflict firepower this year had been the government’s growing use of Russian-made BM-27 and BM-30 rocket launchers to deliver cluster munitions. While the former had long been known to be part of Assad’t armories, the latter was not. 
Friends, I will say it once again, our once great nation is squandering billions of dollars in blood and treasure in wars and covert operations around the world and yet in Cincinnati, OH. and elsewhere in the U.S. the American people citizens are told our government doesn't have enough money to replace the decaying and out dated Brent Spence Bridge. It is time to remive the crooks, globalists and their stooges in both parties in Washington, D.C. Let's start with McCain and Kerry.
