Asia Times Online :: Obama brings Erdogan in to bat

Obama brings Erdogan in to bat By M K Bhadrakumar The realization came only belatedly in Ankara when the White House released the photograph that United States President Barack Obama was holding a baseball bat with one hand as he made a phone call to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday night. The White House statement merely said Obama discussed with Erdogan how to "coordinate efforts to accelerate a political transition in Syria, which would include the departure of [Syrian President] Bashar al-Assad" and to share the "growing concerns" about the violence in Syria and the "deteriorating humanitarian conditions". Why hold a baseball bat while on statecraft - and then publicize it? The Turks could see any number of reasons: Obama was likely grandstanding as a tough world leader; possibly, threatening Bashar; maybe, impressing Israel and Saudi Arabia - or, Iran and Russia. But they calmly concluded that Obama was conveying a blunt message to Erdogan to speed up the "regime change" in Syria: "Whack Bashar, ErdoganBey". Indeed, the Turkish army is maneuvering with tanks on the Syrian border. But Erdogan is yet to take the momentous step of approaching the Turkish parliament for approval for the army to cross the border into the country. Erdogan is thinking furiously. He took a meeting of the Supreme Military Council in Ankara on Wednesday to oversee "war preparations" and inter alia realized that the Turkish armed forces are in great disarray. Sixty-eight pashas (a title used for military and civil officers) are locked up in jail facing charges of treason. The meeting on Wednesday was called to decide on the annual promotions of the Turkish top brass, but the choice was severely limited, since something like 40 generals out of the 68 happen to be in the "promotion zone" but cannot be considered for promotion since they are in jail. The Turkish commentator Murat Yetkin surveyed the scandalous situation: "Last year, Chief of General Staff Isik Kosaner resigned along with three force commanders in protest at the arrests. That puts even more pressure on the current Chief of Staff General Necdet Ozel, who is already under pressure because of the arrest of a former Chief of Staff, Ilker Basburg. Basburg has been accused of being the "chief of a terrorist organization". Another former Chief of Staff Hilmi Ozkok is expected to appear before the Istanbul criminal court today [Thursday]." Ozkok has since pleaded that he was indeed aware of two possible coup plots hatched against the elected government by the Pashas during the period 2003-2004. But he went on to rationalize: "When the AKP [Erdogan's Justice and Development Party] came to power, the Turkish Armed Forces staff, including me, had concerns. Taking into consideration the [AKP officials'] statements in the past, we were worried about whether Turkey would roll back to old days [read Islamism]. We began discussing these issues. In the army everyone expresses their opinions even if they think differently from each other, this is normal, but they obey the chief of General Staff's orders in the end." Erdogan has a formidable challenge on his hands - he is being exhorted by Obama for taking quick military action to expel Bashar, while the Turkish army itself is sinking into a morass, as Ozkok's testimony gets played out in the coming days and weeks in army barracks across Anatolia. Meanwhile, Kurdish separatists watching from mountain hideouts have opened another front near the remote eastern town of Sendinli located in the tricky tri-junction between Turkey, Iraq and Iran. Turkish army has been fighting there for a week. Concurrently, the incipient political rift between him and incumbent President Abdullah Gul (who used to be his deputy in the AKP), surged last week. Gul dropped a political bombshell by letting it be known Monday he probably would have an open mind about seeking a second term as president in the 2014 election. Gul reset the kaleidoscope of Turkish politics. A riposte came from Erdogan camp within the day when AKP's deputy chairman and a confidante of Erdogan, Huseyin Celik reminded Gul that he owed his job as president to Erdogan and it was time to reciprocate goodwill by stepping down and opening the road to the presidency for Erdogan. Gul himself responded Wednesday that there is still a lot of time to talk about what Celik said. Indeed, two years is a long time in politics and Gul is right, nothing is ever a done thing in politics. Both Gul and Erdogan are charismatic figures and the expectation among Turks was that they might opt for a Russian style switch of roles in 2014. But then, there is also an "ideological" content to the Gul-Erdogan rift. Gul has some definite views about the shortcomings of the kind of constitutional reform that Erdogan is presently seeking, which is a presidential system with greatly strengthened executive powers. To quote prominent political commentator SemihIdiz, "Gul is opposed to the kind of presidential system the AKP wants … Gul believes the present parliamentary system should be cleansed of its shortcomings and improved in order to further enhance Turkey's democracy… Neither the AKP nor Erdogan have talked about the checks and balances that would exist in the presidential system they desire. This is what is worrying for many, especially given Erdogan's well-known authoritarian tendencies." But does the war in Syria come into all this? Sure it does. Both Obama and Erdogan are agreed that the Syrian crisis should end soon. Obama seems to think that if Erdogan can be persuaded to "do more" - to borrow from the US exhortation to Pakistan - the civil war will end and a "new Syria" can take shape. Just like that. But Erdogan has a problem here. He has an "operational" problem, given the disarray in the Turkish military, and increasingly, perhaps, a political problem as well. Turkey's military machinery needs to be toned up first, which takes time, and now Gul has opened a dicey political front. Syria is becoming a dangerous minefield for Erdogan. A perceptive and experienced Turkish security analyst, Nihat Ozcan, recently peered into Syria through the looking glass: "In my opinion, we need to ask four questions to understand how the Syria model will be at the end of the process. Firstly, what does the changing character of the war mean in analyses? Secondly, how does the proxy war affect political development and the time period? Thirdly, how does the deep sociological division among the people in Syria shape the problem? Fourthly, if there is no authority or sufficient power and desire to end the interference, how will Syria turn out?" Ozcan sees the insurgency masterminded from Turkey expanding rapidly into a civil war. The Syrian army could incrementally begin to lose its all-national character and assume a sectarian character, composed of Alawites. On the other hand, the insurgency's "Sunni political features" could be further reinforced. Indeed, the rebels would never be a fully disciplined and regular armed force, which in turn opens the prospect of a war continuing "without front, irregular, facade, brutal and no rule and no moral block," and seriously threatening the future of Syria. Again, this is a "proxy war" involving outsiders, which implies that it will be simply within no one's capacity to bring an end to the war anytime soon. "This situation increases the capacity of both [Syrian] sides and causes the war to continue." Meanwhile, deep-rooted sociological, psychological and religious prejudices and the historical traumas of the past will begin to feed into the civil war, bolstering the strength and verve of warring parties. Ozcan explains that if the current processes go on, Syria would fall apart and a reunification would take a very long time. As a military analyst knowledgeable about Turkish capabilities, he assessed: "In the foreseeable future, it is difficult to have clandestine operations, air operations, punitive air operations, blockages from the sea, peace-making and peacekeeping operations that would provide an advantageous position to one of the sides compared to the other. Apparently, the fire in Syria will extinguish with its own domestic dynamics." Simply put, Erdogan is highly likely to find himself trapped in a Syrian quagmire unless he exercised circumspection about these increasingly rare trans-Atlantic phone calls. (Obama and Erdogan apparently spoke on the phone 13 times last year whereas, they have had only two phone conversations so far in 2012.) Ozcan's gloomy message is that the "future picture" of Syria leaves little for Erdogan to be complacent about. Erdogan never played baseball. But he was a good soccer player - a semi-professional, in fact, playing for a 90-year old local club in Istanbul. Erdogan would know that on the soccer field if he lost control of the ball, anything could happen; it could be an own goal, or, it could be that Gul simply nutmegs him to nudge the ball into the back of the net.

Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks on the escalating violence in Syria with Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday, just hours before a vital UN vote on the Kremlin's sole remaining ally in the Arab world.

Erdogan was expected to attempt to persuade the Kremlin to abandon its opposition to a Western-backed UN resolution that could clear the way for foreign military intervention in Syria.

But there was little sign after the talks that a deal had been struck, with the Turkish premier saying only that "the Syrian people should decide" the fate of embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday the adoption of the new resolution by the United Nations would amount to "direct support for the revolutionary movement" in Syria. And Russia’s UN envoy, Vitaly Churkin, said ahead of the Security Council vote that Moscow would use its veto to block any resolution that called for the ouster of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Immediately ahead of the talks, Syrian state television said that the country’s defense minister had been killed in a suicide bombing at the national security building in Damascus, as heavy fighting continued to rage in the capital. The rebel Free Syria Army said earlier this week it had launched the final battle for control of Damascus.

Putin vowed earlier this year not to allow a repeat of the “Libya scenario,” which saw the ouster andmurder of long-time Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi after a NATO military campaign. Both Russia and China have blocked previous UN resolutions against Assad’s regime, which the United Nations has accused of complicity in the massacre of unarmed civilians.

Erdogan’s visit comes a day after Putin’s meeting with UN special envoy Kofi Annan, which did little to boost Western hopes that Russia would change its stance on what the United States has said is its support for Assad. Putin said only that Russia remained committed to Annan’s floundering peace plan and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov urged Western powers to seek a “compromise” deal on Syria.

Annan’s plan does not call for the departure of Assad - something Russia has said should be determined by “the Syrian people.” But Russia has also said it has no special interest in seeing Assad remaining in power and earlier this week Lavrov dubbed calls for Moscow to persuade him to stand down “unrealistic.”

The draft resolution to be discussed on Wednesday gives the Syrian government 10 days to pull out heavy weapons from urban areas and return troops to barracks. If Damascus fails to comply, a further resolution on sanctions will be submitted to the Security Council.

Turkey, which neighbors Syria, has provided shelter to refugees fleeing the violence in Syria and has been one of Assad’s harshest critics during the almost 17-month revolt against his rule.

Tensions between Turkey and Syria flared dangerously last month after Damascus shot down a Turkish fighter that had violated its airspace. Turkey threatened retaliation if there was any repeat of the incident, although it admitted the plane had mistakenly strayed slightly into Syria.

Russian analysts had agreed there was little chance Erdogan would succeed where Annan had failed, they differed on what would follow the expected Russian and Chinese vetoes.

“If there is no compromise, there will be no more resolutions, and the West, along with leading Arab states, will begin to more actively and more openly support the opposition and hope that Assad will be toppled by force,” said Fyodor Lukyanov, editor-in-chief of the Russia in Global Affairs journal.

“Certain countries might also recognize the [opposition] Syrian National Council as the legal government,” he added.

Other Russian analysts have suggested the Kremlin's stance is convenient for the West, which they say has no real intention of undertaking a military operation in Syria.

“There will simply be more resolutions, discussions, Russian counter resolutions and so on until the situation becomes clear,” said analyst Sergei Demidenko of the Moscow-based Institute of Strategic Studies and Analysis think-tank. “The West has no appetite for intervention in Syria and the current situation suits it.”

The United Nations, quoting Syrian rights activists, says some 16,000 people have died in Syria since the start of the revolt.

The Justice of God: Putin

When Europe is completely subdued and the United States has been bleed completely dry to smash innocent people in the Middle East and fund "Israel" and take the blame as the fall guy (then according to Zionist plan comes its Military destruction, see: Tech_Journal: Communist World Government: The Living Moon: Buran Russia's Space Shuttle), then the next step will be for Zionist Russia headed by its Antichrist Caesar to completely bolster the power of "Israel."

Communista Internationale Sixth: Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin - Putin in Russian is

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin - Russian: Влади́мир Влади́мирович Пу́ти - the patronymic is Vladimirovich and the family name is Putin. V (vau) is 6 in Hebrew Gematria. Notice the three V's in his name, Vladimir VladimiroVich (VVV = 666 in Hebrew Gematria, if each letter is taken individually - which is not the preferred method in the Church Fathers of reading the prophecy in the Book of the Revelation of the number of the beast). Originally Putin - Пу́ти is son of Путя. Another version is that Путя is connected with спутанный = запеленутый (swaddled). None of this is without purpose on the part of the Rabbi controlled Russian Intelligence, which control began with the Czar's Secret Spy Service in the 19th century. Their means of infiltration was the same as now, the superstitions of the Jews' Kahal were inserted masked as Christian religion under the Czar and later under Jew Zionist Communism as the core of infiltrating technique and murder of opponents. See here for examples of their vain self serving false prophecies: Communista Internationale Sixth: Moed - Talmudic false prophecies of the Antichrist. The Italian Communist under direct control of Moscow, Antonio Gramsci, authored the western version of this in the 1920's. This "Путя is connected with спутанный = запеленутый (swaddled)" could well be developed by them as a false prophecy reference to a Gnostic style imitation of the virgin birth of Jesus Christ. That would be right out of the Communist Sergei Bulgakov's Mother Goddess Pantheist prattle (Bulgakov was another, earlier, pretend Orthodox Priest like the Former Russian Patriarch who gave birth to Putin, Patriarch Alexius II [Drozdov, blackbird in Russian, was his actual KGB operative name]. Whoever the Antichrist actually is will use a name that will fit perfectly at the time of his assuming power openly in Jerusalem that fits perfectly with the Biblical prophecy in the Book of the Revelation.

What is also not lost on the Jews ruling Russia is who Putin is a total look-a-like for, Julius Caesar, the prototype for all Antichrists, who oppose the true Messiah, Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, from the time of Rome during the first persecutions of Christians beginning with Caligula and Nero (close time successors to Julius Caesar) and extending from them.
