“We are losing! Bomb SYRIA!”

The excuse this time is “chemical weapons” and “red lines”.

As usual the Americans and Europeans, and their top regional regimes in Israel and Saudi Arabia,  are being grossly deceptive in pursuit of their real policies and reasons.

The bottom line is that after years of CIA-led (Saudi/Qatar funded) war against Damascus to bring about “regime change” the Syrians are still winning!  That’s the real reason the Americans are readying their cruise missile to be fired from the sea and their air-to-ground missiles to be fired from war planes at a “safe distance”.   And much more will be done covertly.

The goal will be to sufficiently weaken and disrupt the Syrian army so that the “rebels” (armed, trained, and financed by the U.S. and allies for some time now) can still win rather than lose or be stale-mated.

At the same time the Obamaites are being careful not to push the Russians into further counter-engaging; but to use enough power so that Damascus will fall.

Yet at the same time the primary U.S. allies in the region, Israel and Saudi Arabia, are hoping that once the hot fighting starts something will happen, or something can be done, so that the new hot war will expand to both Iran and Lebanon,

An extremely dangerous moment in history has come to the entire Middle East region.   Nearly a hundred years after Lawrence and Sykes-Picot the people of the Middle East are continuing to pay a huge price in death and destruction for what the Western powers have done to them since they brought down the Ottoman Empire and took control of the region.
