Briefed these hours on the Syria scenario. Rough business.
The Obama administration (POTUS personally) is backing the Moslem Brothers at 1000%. Brothers out of Cairo and other capitals are running the Homs/Hama provocation operation.
Assad regime aiming to shut down the Brothers pronto before NATO/US/Turkey intervention. The Brothers are running psyops with pictures of massacre and so forth.
Understand that Assad left in power (commanding the minorities of the region: Alawites, Druze, Kurds, Christians) is the expedient answer for Amman, Jerusalem, Moscow. Tehran is not losing.
Assume pronto that the nuke arms race in the region is underway.
Secretary Clinton denouncing Assad places the US opposite the Kremlin.
Russian ops already in country and advising the operations. Report of a French anti-tank missile used in the street-fighting. Weapons running with Riyadh money. Prince of Darkness (Sultan, heir to the throne) is in charge of the gun-running.
Riyadh is struggle for its life. Tehran runs the Gulf oil future.
POTUS Obama? His delusion in the Moslem Brothers means that he may vouchsafe a UN/NATO “protect” operation.
POTUS hangs on to the hero dream that he can deliver Tehran to the table the way Nixon delivered Beijing in 1972.
Legacy dream is driving POTUS.
Moscow stands to be the winner in a grim forecast.
Israel will not move on Tehran, since it assumes the nukes are in Supreme Leader’s hand. Jerusalm looks to use IDF in a Six Day war op to close Gaza missile arsenals.
No sound answers unless and until Assad the Devil prevails, and the White House backs off supporting an intervention.
