Tony Cartalucci: War Crimes and the Global War on Terrorism!

US arms Al Qaeda in Syria. Mass Slaughter of civilians in Afghanistan. AFP has reported that a recent NATO airstrike in Afghanistan has killed over 10 civilians in all too familiar headline, glossed over by the Western media, in an exercise of depravity and hypocrisy. RT's article, "NATO airstrike kills 10 Afghan civilians, mostly women and children, officials," notes in particular that up to 11,864 civilians were killed in Afghanistan between 2007 and 2011, and that civilian deaths before 2007  were not even tracked by the UN. Such facts reveal alarming hypocrisy, as the UN keeps almost daily, inflated tallies of civilian deaths elsewhere, in particular, in nations like Libya and Syria, where Western interests have been heavily involved in regime change, and in dire need of manipulating public perception worldwide. The United Nations had in fact, pieced together a dubious report crafted from "witness accounts" compiled not in Syria, or even beyond its borders in a refugee camp, but instead, in Geneva by "witnesses" supplied by the so called Syrian "opposition." Worse yet, that UN report was co-authored by Karen Koning AbuZayd, a director of the US Washington based corporate think tank, Middle East Policy Council. Its board of directors includes Exxon men, CIA agents, representatives of the Saudi Binladin Group, Osama Bin Laden's family business, former ambassadors to Kuweit, Oman and Qatar, US military and government representatives, and even the president of the US Qatar Business Council, which includes among its membership, Al Jazeera, Chevron, Exxon, munitions manufacturer Raytheon, who supplied the opening salvos during NATO's operations against Libya, and Boeing. In other words, the very under-writers of the armed militancy that is consuming Syria, are sitting along side the head of the UN commission, producing reports portraying the Syrian government as guilty of "war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The hypocrisy does not end here. The pretense of the US and NATO have used for over a decade to occupy, subjugate and slaughter the people of Afghanistan, in a conflict increasingly creeping over both Afghanistan's borders with Pakistan and Iran, is supposedly to fight "terrorism."
