So, after Kofi Annan’s abysmal failure in Syria the UN throws up (I use the term advisedly) UN-Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, and the BBC gives him a very sympathetic hearing as he declares a pre-emptive pessimistic view of the task ahead of him, as he takes up his new post. But I was wondering if THIS Lakhdar Brahimi is in any way related to this guy?
Lakhdar Brahimi was pro-Saddam when he was Minister for Foreign Affairs of Algeria from 1991 to 1993 and Under-Secretary-General of the League of Arab States from 1984 to 1991.
Not only did Brahimi endorse Saddam Hussein and remained a close ally to him, he also denied that Saddam Hussein, the glory of Arab Leader as he described him, had ever used chemical weapons. Brahimi announced on French radio that “The great poison in the region is this Israeli policy of domination and the suffering imposed on the Palestinians” as well as the “equally unjust support of the United States for this policy.”
In an interview, regarding the thugs and criminals in Faluja fighting United States forces, Brahimi said, “In this situation, there is no military solution.” He added, “There is never any military solution to any problem.”
Naturally the BBC sanitise all of this in their portrayal of this “peace envoy”.
With such history of putrid bias like that it’s no wonder that equally Israel detesting Al-Beeb identifies well with the bloke.
arab league …
read “assad out – islamist in” with every bit of deceitful sway they can muster … no wonder al beeb love him
to re iterate, doesn t matter whether it is Lakhdar Brahimi, or any other of them.
The BBC, the IRA and Muslim fundamentalists would get on well in a civil union.
There was an envoy in “Mars attacks!”, too. He said ack-ack-ack and then blasted everyone.
Keep up to date with this corrupt organisation here….

“The feckless Kofi Annan was bad enough as the joint UN-Arab League peace envoy in Syria. Lakhdar Brahimi, his successor, is even worse. He brings to the table a checkered career in which he rationalized the kind of brutal repression in his own country of Algeria that Assad is displaying in Syria, and in which he enabled Syria and Hezbollah to strengthen their stranglehold in Lebanon under the phony National Reconciliation Accord that he helped mediate.
“In sum, Brahimi is not a man of peace or true reconciliation, as further evidenced by his ambivalence about terrorism and his incendiary rhetoric against Israel. Yet – no surprise – the Obama administration supports Brahimi 100 percent for his new position.”

Will ex-D.G Thompson as CEO of ‘New York Times’ get his new paper to follow INBBC political line on BRAHIMI?:
a.) ‘New York Times’ (2006) –

b.) INBBC (2012):- censors Brahimi’s hostility towards Jews, and his
pro-Hezbollah political stance:

I wonder what the BBC thinks about a sitting MP agitating for support for Assad and jihad against the rulers of Saudia Arabia? Even if they agree with him, surely it’s worth reporting somewhere?
No prizes for guessing who it is. Note, though, the phony accent and dated yet bigoted references to US bogeymen.
