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!
