Now that's
the recipe for a certified 2013 Hollywood
blockbuster.
Riyadh, for its part, is forcing Jordan's King Playstation to install a buffer zone in his territory for the over 100 gangs that comprise the FSA -- as revealed by the Saudi-financed al-Quds al-Arabi. And guess who was the henchman forcing the deal? No less than vanishing Saudi intel chief Prince Bandar, who may or may not have been killed in a bomb attack two weeks ago (see Where is Prince Bandar?, Asia Times Online, August 2, 2012).
The Grim Reaper wins
It's worth repeating till the Grim Reaper comes to collect; spectacular blowback looms large.
The prolonged siege of Aleppo is at hand.
The NATO-Gulf Cooperation Council "secret base" in
Turkey, plus free-for-all weaponizing, are
empowering an extremely nasty mix of unemployed,
semi-illiterate young Sunni Syrians, sectarian
born to kill army defectors, assorted criminals
and multinational Salafi-jihadis. This video[3]
shows everything one needs to know about the FSA.
And this[4] shows what kind of "democracy" they
are aiming for.
Saudi Wahhabis want a hardcore Sunni Islamist Syria -- complete with Christians, Allawites, Druzes and Kurds as third-rate citizens (or prime candidates for beheading). Qataris want a Muslim Brotherhood protectorate.
The Obama administration's foreign policy makers must be on (lousy) crack. Just because they are engaged on an all-out war against not only Iran, but also Shi'ites all around, how could they possibly bet on a Somalization of Syria profiting Wahhabi intolerance?
A grinning Grim Reaper awaits in the wings.
