The United States will attempt to get militarily involved in any conflict in the Middle East due to financial profits of war, a political analyst told Press TV's U.S. Desk on Saturday.
"Any way they can get involved with any kind of military intervention in the Middle East, they will do it. The United States will do that because it's all about the profits of war and keeping it going," Al Kovnat said.
"War is a big business. Military intervention is a big business and they have an awful lot of lobbyists in Washington pushing for this [war]," he added.
The analyst made the remarks after Washington authorized sending weapons to militants in Syria. U.S. officials said the White House is also considering a no-fly zone inside the country.
"Hopefully the people will realize that they have to stop this because the money is not coming into this country for education or for healthcare for their own people. It's going over just to make money for the big military operations and the corporate military people," Kovnat said.
The Obama administration's preparation for a military intervention in Syria comes despite the public's opposition to the war in the Middle Eastern country.
A poll conducted by Gallup last month showed that 68 percent of Americans said the United States should not take any military action against Syria.
Ben Rhodes, the White House national security advisor behind the claim that President Bashar Al-Assad used chemical weapons in Syria, is a fiction writer with zero educational background in government, diplomacy or national security who also played a key role in covering up the truth behind the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi.
Yesterday, Rhodes announced that the White House had "high confidence" that the Syrian Army had used chemical weapons, providing no evidence, and that the Obama administration would now take steps to arm FSA rebels, who as has been widely documented are being led by Al-Qaeda terrorists who killed U.S. troops in Iraq. The Wall Street Journal also reports that a no fly zone is being prepared that would embroil the United States in yet another war.
35-year-old Rhodes has been a speechwriter for Obama since 2007 and now enjoys the role of deputy national security adviser for strategic communication. He created the infamous term "kinetic military action" to describe the bombardment of Libya which allowed Obama to skirt around the constitutional question of having to declare war.
Rhodes' expertise revolves around manufacturing narratives. "He earned a master's degree in fiction-writing from New York University just a few years ago," writes Ed Lansky. "He did not have a degree in government, diplomacy, national security; nor has he served in the CIA, or the military. He was toiling away not that long ago on a novel called 'The Oasis of Love" about a mega church in Houston, a dog track, and a failed romance."
As Stephen Hayes documents in a lengthy Weekly Standard piece, Rhodes was instrumental in altering CIA talking points to delete references to Islamic terrorists being involved in the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, setting the foundation for the Obama administration's cover-up of the incident by claiming the siege was a demonstration against an anti-Muslim film. This was an attempt to hide the fact that the White House had supported Al-Qaeda terrorists in the overthrow of Gaddafi, just as they are now doing in Syria.
"Just a few weeks ago the US Intelligence Community did not believe claims that the Syrian government used chemicals, then, after scolded by the Israelis they changed their tune to a very qualified "maybe." Now, with no formal investigation at all and no word on the chain of evidence or its source, we are told with absolute certainty that the Assad government has used the weapons
In addition, the innumerable examples of Obama-backed Syrian rebels obtaining and using chemical weapons -- including the recent discovery by Turkish police of 2kg of sarin nerve gas in the hands of Al-Nusra terrorists -- have been conveniently swept aside.
