ARAB LEAGUE'S CLEVER MANEUVER

I know two nights ago I stated I was going to talk about another scenario for a possible conflict with Iran, but I've not finished doing my homework on the topic, so I will put that post off for a few days yet.

Honestly, when I read the attached news article, I became so enthralled with the AL's actions I couldn't put off working on it.

 In my opinion the concept of getting Hamas to take a message to Al Assad is simply brilliant!

It is and has been no secret the Muslim Brotherhood and the Sunni in general have been working to pull Hamas away from the Shia dominated Syrian / Iranian camp!

When AL Secretary General Elaraby announced Meshaal had been instrumental in convincing Al Assad to work with the AL, with Meshaal standing next to him, the message to the whole Middle East was clear.

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words and in this case it's even more than that.

What I find interesting is the so called experts in the West not realizing what this even was really all about.

The AL understands all too well it must strip Al Assad of his support and pulling the Hamas organization away from him is a key in the process.

In a crucial moment for the AL, when their reputation is virtually on the line, the tactic of asking Hamas to take " news" back to Al Assad could just the act that buys the AL accreditation time.

When you stop  to think about it, it's a concept that even makes sense to the Israelis.

Hamas is a critical part of the Iranian / Syrian war machine and to complete the task of pulling Hamas back into the Muslim Brotherhood / AL realm is yet another nail in the coffin for Al Assad and Iran.

That gets me back to my initial statement about yet another possible scenario for conflict with Iran..

I suppose I will have to finish my homework this weekend and post my new theory.

Having said that, this act on the part of the Al was the first sign that they really are beginning to understand how to play offense instead of sitting on the sidelines.

Brilliant move!
