Swamp’s Neocon Crocodiles Want Trump to Continue Obama’s War in Syria
By Julio

On April 3, U.S. President Donald Trump said about the U.S.
military presence in Syria, “I want to get out, I want to bring our troops back
home, I want to start rebuilding our nation.”
Trump’s decision was clear and public: He
wanted to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria and that he would only keep them
there if Saudi Arabia bore all expenses.
Yet, by Sunday he changed his mind. After
an alleged gas attack by the Syrian government on Syrian civilians on April 7
(conveniently, just four days after Trump’s decision), Trump decided that it
was time to go to war on Syria.
Trump seems to ignore the “conveniences”
of the gas attack and the possibility that Saudi Muslims and Islamic rebels
orchestrated it.
John McCain and Lindsey Graham, the two leading
neocons in the U.S. Congress, rejoiced over a prospective war on Syria.
In 2016, McCain and Graham opposed Trump,
who as a candidate campaigned against pushes to embrace a policy of Cold War
confrontation with Russia and a U.S. war with Syria.
At last, has Trump embraced the neocon
pushes?
There is a pattern of U.S. military
interventions in other nations. First, there is an alleged attack by a
government on its own people, and the U.S. intervenes to “help” the people and
to bring “democracy.” Just four days after Trump said that he wanted to withdraw
U.S. troops from Syria, allegedly the Syrian government, which has fought hard against
ISIS and the Obama-backed Islamic rebels for 7 long years, made a gas attack —
just to have Trump to continue Obama’s war in Syria!
The Syrian civil war was provoked by Obama
jointly with Saudi Arabia. Both founded and armed ISIS, the largest modern
machine of genocide of Christians.
Trump himself said in 2016 that “Obama is
the founder of ISIS.”
So how did Trump want in April 3 Saudi
Arabia, Obama’s biggest partner in the genocide of Syrian Christians, funding
American troops in Syria? To continue in Syria what Obama started? Wherever
Syria fought ISIS, it was destroyed. Wherever
the U.S. and its Saudi allies fought ISIS in Syria, ISIS was liberated.
It is shameful that after his anti-Islamic
speeches in 2016, Trump keeps treating, just as Obama did, Saudi Arabia as an
ally, forgetting that the biggest terrorist attack on the United States was
committed by Saudi Muslims.
Obama had no shame to partner with Saudi
dictators. Unfortunately, Trump has given continuity to Obama’s lack of shame.
The carnage of Christian Syrians began
with Obama to serve the interests of Saudi Muslims. America has for decades
been at the service of Saudi Arabia. America needs urgently to protect her own
borders, but she is too busy protecting Saudi interests and borders. How
shameful, my God!
Bush and Obama were neocons’ puppets. Now
it is Trump’s turn.
Trump had promised in 2016 to drain the
swamp. Now the swamp’s neocon crocodiles have drained from him all trace of opposition
to the neocon ambitions and empire.
So if Obama did little to please neocons
in Syria — even though thousands of Christians were slaughtered by Saudi-backed
ISIS —, is Trump going to do much more to please neocons, who were disgusted at
him in 2016, but who now love him?
Monday (April 9), a prominent U.S.
evangelical leader published a Facebook post decrying the gas attack in Syria
and asking prayers for the U.S. troops in Syria. I answered him:
“You
should point that it is not the first time the U.S. uses an alleged attack to
make a military intervention. In fact, Trump abundantly condemned Obama for
intervening in Syria. Trump said that Obama created ISIS. Thousands of
Christians were slaughtered by ISIS because of Obama’s military meddling in
Syria. And U.S. troops, since Obama, are illegally in Syria. They should leave!
The chemical attack probably was made by CIA and Obama’s Islamic rebels. You
certainly know it! Do not let the honor of knowing Trump making you blind to
Obama’s crimes now supported by Trump. Be a prophetic voice that is not afraid
of losing opportunities to meet Trump. Speak up! Mother Theresa spoke against
abortion in the presence of President Bill Clinton and she had never again an
opportunity to meet him. Do not be afraid! Trump needs to be confronted by a
courageous testimony! Yes, I am praying. I am praying that God stop U.S. military
meddling, under Obama and Trump, that eventually results in Christian carnage.
The U.S. government is under neocon control. May Jesus Christ break this
demonic stronghold in the U.S. government!”
“If
by your invitation we Christians should pray for the alleged well-being of U.S.
troops illegally in Syria who are using illegal violence in Syria, a moral
question: should we Christians pray for the alleged well-being of illegal immigrants
who are involved in illegal violence in the U.S.?”
It
is a very hard point, but it is a point. U.S. troops in Syria are not guarding
U.S. borders. They are guarding Saudi interests. They are not protecting U.S.
patriotism and nationalism. They are protecting and advancing the Saudi version
of Islamic terror.
My
friend William J. Murray, who has been
working very hard to help persecuted Christians in Syria and Iraq, has told that the U.S. has 800
military bases around the world. Yet, the U.S. is unable to guard its own
borders. This makes no sense. A nation guards its own borders. An empire keeps
bases around the world. The U.S. government is not behaving as a nation; it is behaving
as an empire that does not care about the U.S. borders, because its only
concern is to deploy and use U.S. troops for unending unpatriotic wars in the
borders of other nations.
Because Bush was a pro-life
Protestant, I supported him even in the Iraq War, because I thought that if all
the Left attacked him on every point, I had a responsibility to support him in
every point. But after seeing the carnage of Christians in the trail of Bush’s
War against Iraq, which was also condemned by Trump, I learnt that even though
a U.S. president is a pro-life evangelical, he should not be supported when he
submits himself to neocons and their wars.
May
U.S. conservative evangelicals do for Trump what they never did for Bush: to
confront him over wars that advance the neocons’ agenda and provoke blood
shedding of Christians.
