ATTEMPT TO GET A DELAY??? IT WON’T WORK!!! 

I'm a little concerned many are staring to talk about how the issue of the Palestinian Statehood vote in the UN may not actually take place for weeks or months. 

I would not anticipate being able to kick this can down the road. 

 The world of social media and protest will not go into a holding pattern for weeks or months pending an official vote. 

 If this becomes a possible course of action by the UN or the US, it might very well create the violence they are trying to avoid. 

Having said that, dragging this event out is exactly what Iran is looking for. 

For everyday the PA issue is center stage, the Syrian event is not. 

The ability to 'control' the protest is the real question. 

My prediction is Iran will not fully control the future actions and very possibly they could  set into motion events they didn't anticipate. 

Iran looked for a distraction from Syria and the Arab Spring and set its sights on the PA issue. 

Has everyone forgot, Israel can do the same thing? 

  SNAPSHOT: 

 At this point in time, I would have to say Iran has things going its way. 

 For the past few months they have been on the defense trying to find a way to fight off the Arab Spring not just in Syria, but potentially in Iran as well. 

 The goal of taking advantage of the PA issue would allow them to stop the bleeding and perhaps got back on the offense. 

Don't forget the concept of " buying time" was the strategic objective 

before the Arab Spring; time needed for their nuclear program. 

If Iran can  achieve  " breathing room", then they  can see go back to their original goal;  buying time. 

It also appears their plans for Yemen and Bahrain will come back to the 

table, if Iran can get back on offense. 

 What Iran can't control is threefold: 

1.    The Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. ( they have their own goals for 

the PA issue.) 

2.  The Turks and their "vision" of the New  Ottoman Empire. ( Regional 

as it may be.) 

3.  The Arab youth and social media.
