IRAN "ADMITTING THE OBVIOUS!
A well written article by Anshel Pfeffer on a statement that is most likely going
to be overlooked.
If anyone has a good understanding of just how bad things
are going for Assad, it's Solaimani and Khamenei listens to Solaimani.
Remember my baseline argument; Iran will never survive a
Sunni victory in Syria.
With the downing of yet another aircraft of Assad's
yesterday, the question becomes more and more important.
When does the real "tide" of the conflict change?
When we see rebels You Tubing clips of shoulder fired
weapons at Syrian aircraft, the answer will be clear.
Solaimani probably knows this moment is near and he may have
finally convinced Khamenei it was time to warn the region.
A slow leak to a non prime time media outlet is a good way
to judge the initial reaction and I think that is exactly what Iran has
accomplished.
If this "admission" doesn't make real headlines in
the next day or so, Iran will make it even more clear perhaps even with actions
instead of words.
Khamenei has been at a loss as to shaping the events in
Syria for months now.
It's hard to paint a picture of success when bombs are going
off in Damascus and Aleppo is a battle zone.
Khamenei is leaning more and more on Solaimani to figure a
way out of this mess and save Iran from the Arab Spring.
Solaimani has one theory and it may be Khamenei is giving in
to it.
Fight!!!
Show the world Iran will not stand for the loss of Syria /
Hezbollah and Lebanon.
Solaimani is a battle tested Warrior and his opinion of
" talking" is well known.
So, what is my interpatation of this somewhat surprising,
but predictable statement?
It could be Khamenei has been told what is about to happen
in Syria and he is lost on what to do next; and that means Solaimani becomes a
key power broker!
