Saudi Arabia Pushes US Toward Military Strike in Syria

Posted on by

“Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal urged the Arab League to back a military strike against President Bashar al-Assad’s regime after the chemical attack on Ghouta in which hundreds of Syrians were killed.  Away from humanitarian concerns over the Syrian victims of chemical attacks, the Saudi antagonism to Assad’s regime started in 2006, when it appeared that together with Iraq, Syria was beginning to drift even more toward the Iranian sphere of influence and away from the Saudi-led Arab position, causing discomfort in Riyadh. Saudi Arabia aims to return Syria to its fold after years of estrangement and even hostility.”

The Middle East, explained in one (sort of terrifying) chart

Posted on by

“Sir, Iran is backing Assad. Gulf states are against Assad!  Assad is against Muslim Brotherhood. Muslim Brotherhood and Obama are against General Sisi.  But Gulf states are pro-Sisi! Which means they are against Muslim Brotherhood!  Iran is pro-Hamas, but Hamas is backing Muslim Brotherhood!  Obama is backing Muslim Brotherhood, yet Hamas is against the U.S.!  Gulf states are pro-U.S. But Turkey is with Gulf states against Assad; yet Turkey is pro-Muslim Brotherhood against General Sisi. And General Sisi is being backed by the Gulf states!  Welcome to the Middle East and have a nice day.”

Pakistan orders fresh murder charges against Pervez Musharraf

Posted on by

“An anti-terrorism court last month charged Musharraf with the murder of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, who died in a gun and suicide attack after a political rally in December 2007.  It was the first time a head of Pakistan’s army has been charged with a crime, challenging beliefs that the military is immune from prosecution and threatening to fan tensions with civilian institutions.  While murder will be difficult to prove, it may embolden efforts to try Musharraf for treason for seizing power in 1999 and for violating the constitution by sacking judges and imposing emergency rule in 2007. Treason can carry the death penalty.”

Eric Margolis: Korea, One Of The World’s Five Most Strategic Nations

Posted on by

“Amazingly, South Korea’s tough 600,000-man armed forces are under the command of a US four-star general 60 years after the end of the Korean War, backed up by 28,500 US troops that include a full heavy infantry division,  North Korea calls itself the ‘true Korea,’ denouncing the South as ‘puppets of the US imperialists.’ Interestingly, some studies show that many South Koreans share this view and are proud of North Korea’s nuclear weapons program though they want no part of its socialism and self-reliant policy known as ‘juche.'”

Who Benefits From A War Between The United States And Syria?

Posted on by

“The party that stands to benefit the most is Saudi Arabia, and they won’t even be doing any of the fighting.  They have been pouring billions of dollars into the conflict in Syria, but so far they have not been successful in their attempts to overthrow the Assad regime.  Now the Saudis are trying to play their trump card – the U.S. military.  If the Saudis are successful, they will get to pit the two greatest long-term strategic enemies of Sunni Islam against each other – the U.S. and Israel on one side and Shia Islam on the other.  In such a scenario, the more damage that both sides do to each other the happier the Sunnis will be.  There would be other winners from a U.S. war with Syria as well.”

Posted on by

“A high-level anonymous official with the Libyan Ministry of Defense granted an interview to the Voice of Russia and discussed matters of intelligence surrounding the chemical attack in Syria. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, when asked if he could verify admissions by Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan that he controlled the terrorists groups in Syria, including Chechen terrorist formations, stated that this was true. The official then stated that there were rumors in the Libyan Defense Ministry that it was actually Bandar who delivered the chemical weapons from Israel to the Syrian insurgents and that it was Israel who was pushing the United States for a military attack on Syria.”

Syrians In Ghouta Claim Saudi-Supplied Rebels Behind Chemical Attack

Posted on by

“‘They didn’t tell us what these arms were or how to use them,’ complained a female fighter named ‘K.’ ‘We didn’t know they were chemical weapons. We never imagined they were chemical weapons.’  ‘When Saudi Prince Bandar gives such weapons to people, he must give them to those who know how to handle and use them,’ she warned.  A well-known rebel leader in Ghouta named ‘J’ agreed. ‘They merely used some ordinary rebels to carry and operate this material,’ he said. ‘We were very curious about these arms. And unfortunately, some of the fighters handled the weapons improperly and set off the explosions,’ ‘J’ said.”
