Syrian protesters have stormed the Saudi and Qatari embassies in the capital to express their outrage at an Arab League's decision to suspend Syria's membership
Pressure mounted on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Sunday as Turkey evacuated citizens from its diplomatic missions and the Arab League scheduled a meeting in Morocco on Wednesday to explore further action against the Syrian government. Among the measures that will be discussed are possible ways of providing protection for civilians in Syria, the Arab League’s secretary general, Nabil Elaraby, told reporters in Tripoli, the Libyan capital.
I refuse to believe we are moving towards UN and military intervention in this which is a precursor to war with Iran, a total middle east breakdown, and more notably WW3 which Iran seems to want unless China, Russia, and the United States can keep this contained to the region and I doubt it.
al bawaba news: Syrians raid Saudi, Qatari embassies: Syrian protesters have stormed the Saudi and Qatari embassies in the capital to express their outrage at an Arab League's decision to suspend Syria's membership. The incident occurred late on Saturday when thousands of Syrians encouraged by the regime poured into the streets of Damascus to stage protest rallies in front of the Qatari, Saudi, Turkish and US embassies.Pro-regime demonstrations were also held in Syria's major cities of Aleppo, Raqqa, Lattakia, Tartous, Hasaka and Sweida.
Some Arab leaders have told the United States they are willing to provide safe haven to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to hasten his "inevitable" departure from power, a senior U.S. official said on Wednesday. "Almost all the Arab leaders, foreign ministers who I talk to say the same thing: Assad's rule is coming to an end. It is inevitable," Feltman, who is in charge of near eastern affairs, told a Senate panel. I am afraid Arab leaders do not get the brevity and reality of what is happening in Syria and the middle east.
"The decision of the Arab League to suspend Syria... represents a dangerous step," Muallem told a packed news conference in Damascus. "Today there is a crisis in Syria which pays the price of its strong positions. Syria will not budge and will emerge stronger... and plots against Syria will fail," said the minister. Muallem said that the Syrian government was not concerned about the likelihood of foreign military intervention in the country, due to the opposition of China and Russia. "Syria is not Libya. The Libyan scenario will not be repeated; what is happening in Syria is different from what happened in Libya and the Syrian people should not worry," he said.
No kidding! With threats of war with Iran in their nuclear drive this too is all leading to the same desired direction. War with Iran is only one of the original reasons Bush attacked Iraq to get in the middle east. Iran's IRG and the US have both been instigating to get their clandestine proxy war out in the open. It is coming closer every day and will not be denied. Keeping it contained to the middle east and not becoming WW3 is our only hope.
We are playing right into their hand! Like Israel does not care what the world thinks because they have the United States neither does Syria care what the Arab League and the world do because they have Iran. A reminder if needed:
Iran and Syria seem to be welcoming our response as they are also influencing the Shiite leadership in Iraq and eager to impress their version of a new Middle East order which Bush set in motion by attacking Iraq and freeing especially Iran to pursue.
Another Proxy war is going on and is setting up this one between the west and their Middle East allies and Syria and Iran.
George w Bush purposely did this in his infinite stupidity: I have to reiterate something I have said too many times since Bush chose to ignore all warnings of total civil war spreading throughout the entire Middle East so he could attack Iraq and straighten out the Middle East as God spoke to him and instructed him to. You know I firmly believe and have said so a million times by now that since 9/11 everything was construed to allow Bush to gain the power he needed to prosecute his new order not just in the Middle East but on the entire world! He diverted from Afghanistan to get back into the Middle East with the goal of setting up a larger safety zone for Israel and going after Iran. As expected this democratization started by Bush has taken on a life of its own.
I still see a total civil war Sunni against Shiite erupting in the Middle East because Bush freed up Iran to instigate it on their end and they are. I still am concerned we will have a permanent presence in the Middle East but feel we will have to largely leave Iraq to her own demise. We will still be there but it looks like Yemen, and the Gulf of Aden will be the prime focus unless Iran gets something going between the US and Iran.
Saddam Hussein with his lies about possessing WMD kept Iran in check. Bush freed Iran up to pursue her version of new middle East order by interfering wherever she could while Bush was doing the same thing with his Middle East Democratization program. I think you can see how successful Bush and Cheney were with their chaos creating Middle East Democracy program but you are barely seeing the results they created in Iran.
The goal absolutely is to be the country who decides which direction the new Middle East (dis)order will take. Bush started it by attacking Iraq to get into the middle east to destabilize it and start the new middle east order the idiot said God told him to do now it will be up to Iran and Saudi Arabia at least up front fight it out whether this goes the Iranian Shiite way or the Saudi Arabian Sunni way and do not forget Israel!
You know I firmly believe and have said so a million times by now that since 9/11 everything was construed to allow Bush to gain the power he needed to prosecute his new order not just in the Middle East but on the entire world! He diverted from Afghanistan to get back into the Middle East with the goal of setting up a larger safety zone for Israel and going after Iran. Both will fail! It has long been my contention that coming to Israel's aid once they attack Iran will be our in to Iran!
The entire middle east and north Africa and our more than century of interference and exploitation can take the blame for that too. Planting our military in the middle of the mess Bush has created out of the Middle East because of his failed Democratization program is going to be a Custer's Last Stand on a grand scale if we are still there when this breaks open! Looking at the war cabinet Obama has amassed I am going to say at this point that this is going to happen even under a President Obama.
Actually Russia, China and Lebanon have blocked a move for the UN Security Council to condemn Syria's crackdown on dissent. Sanctioning slaughter is more like it! I believe I remember hearing Russia weigh in against what Syria and Iran are doing but China has yet to weigh in. Any way you look at it we are playing into Iran’s hand.
You have to be very concerned about what is happening in Syria especially. Iran is not going to allow Syria to fall to Democracy,Iran is in Syria helping Bashar Assad and they do not want us interfering. What we saw after the voter fraud in Iran was mild compared to what the IRG will do if this movement spreads to Iran. I really wish Bashar would step down but Iran is the elephant in the room any way you look at it. The total Middle East breakdown we have written about numerous times is well under way. We can only hope we keep it from erupting into WW3.
