CLOSER TO THE EDGE!
Two stories that paint an ever desperate picture of events
in the Middle East .
As I have stated in the past, DEBKA, has a tendency to hyper
inflate storylines when it comes to the issue of Iran .
Having said that, they usually fall into the category
of, where there is smoke, there is fire.
Given the current personal relationship between Netanyahu
and the President of the US ,
it is not out of the question this snubbing might have taken place.
If the US
message trying to be relayed to Israel
was one of, "we are going to met yet again.. and again.. and
again", until we get past November
of 2012, then Netanyahu may not have been in the mood to listen.
If the information in the second linked story has any level
of validity to it, then it's even easier to see why Israel
may simply not see the logic of continuing to talk with the US about " meetings" with Iran .
There comes a point in time in every conflict where
leadership makes the emotional decision to take action.
Are we closer to this point than before the Baghdad meeting?
Mostly likely yes.
As I read these two stories, what really bothered me was the
insanity of the mass killing in Syria
to include dozens of children.
I can just imagine the reaction to this story in Iran and Moscow .
I'm not sure how many times the world can turn it's back on
Assad's actions, but this one may very well cost him more than any in the past
fifteen months.
The West will not condone military actions against Assad
based on this event, but the Saudi and GCC support to the FSA and "other"
groups now active in Syria is going to go astronomically higher.
So why does Assad's massacre in Houla make me worry about Iran and Israel ?
As I have always said; Iran
will do whatever it takes to keep Syria ,
to include forcing Israel to
attack Lebanon
to distract from Assad's actions.
It's clear this event in Syria
is going to have fast repercussions and Lebanon
/ Lebanese Hezbollah or "events"
in Bahrain
are sure to follow.
Everyone has a
breaking point.. .... Iran ....
the West... Saudi.... the UN....
The fact of the matter is, something is going to give......
something is going to take the whole region to the next level.
We all continue to run out of time.
