SYRIAN MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD.. WE HAVE HEARD THIS STORY
BEFORE!
Al-Shaqfa
is an interesting individual and one we will hear more out of as
time
goes on.
The
Brotherhood's plan for Syria
is not that much different from the plan
they
executed in Egypt .
Let
the youth spill the blood, thus getting Assad to overreact and bring
about
his downfall.
After
that is said and done, take over the movement, but use just the right
words
to keep a war weary west from opposing their message.
Send
a few "friendly signals" and talk the good talk...
When
you read what Al Shaqfa had to say back in January of this year, you
might
come to the conclusion the SMB was simply concerned for the people of
As
the MB has discovered, they need to tell the story calmly, simply and
don't
get into a rush.
So,
what is wrong with the SMB Master Plan?
Does Iran sit back and allow the MB / Sunni / to
eventually rule Syria ?
Can
they afford to?
Can
they afford to fight a war to keep control of Syria ?
Can
they afford to lose Syria if
they have a coming war with Israel ?
I
would have to believe the SMB has some grand plan for pacifying the
Iranians,
at least in the short term!
Bringing
some version of the Arab Spring to Iranian soil is probably one of
the
MB long term goals.
How
does the SMB deal with the Iranian issue as they seek to take control of
It
has been said time and time again... Syria
is not Egypt ..
Tunisia
or
continue
to operate from there even at a reduced capability.
If
the SMB can find this " balance point" then Assad may go the way of
Mubarak.
One
thing is for certain.... the Muslim Brotherhood is the future power
broker
in the Middle East and the rest of the world
needs to figure out how
to
deal with that fact.
The
wrong move on the Syrian issue and the region goes to war, a war the
Israelis
will not settle for a half victory on.
War
with Iran
means asymmetric war for the West... far
different than what has been taking place for the past ten years.
The
age old saying will still hold true, " don't fight the next war based on
the
last war"!!!
