DOES THE ARAB LEAGUE  HAVE A "PLAN"???

Stories have been flying all week long about Nations in the Middle East taking actions that appear to be military preparations.

Rumors are moving faster than usual even for the Middle East.

Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood may want a nice systematic  rhythm to events around them, but they are quickly learning how difficult it is to lead once you are a "leader"!

Turkey really doesn't want a war, but they must show their people they are not "soft".

Iran.. well.. we all know where Iran stands...  " Use of Lose" is quickly becoming their only option.

Israel movement of units based on possible "issues" along the Syrian border  are mirrored by actions in Jordan and now Saudi.

So, is the whole region working the their way towards a conflict none of them with perhaps the exception of Assad and Iran want?

The verbiage in the first article leads me to believe the Arab League believes a conflict is about to take place.

It sounds as if the AL has all but written off the Annan pipedream.

The world seems to think the Russians, the US and the UN will decide if conflict is going to take place in the Middle East.

It's amazing how the old Colonial "Think" is still alive and well.

If the AL has decided to take matters into their own hands and they have come to some level of agreement with Turkey, who would love to be seen as the new " go to power" in the region, then the rest of the world may just have to sit back an react to what takes place.

Think about Putin's trip to Israel this week?

What does Putin know that we may not?

Did Putin show up in Israel and do what we did in Desert Storm; convince Israel to stay out of a Arab on Arab conflict?

Does the AL and the GCC have the military capability to move into Syrian land for the sake of a " safe zone"?

Are the Arabs ready for what that might mean?

They may think so, but I for one hope this is not fantasy they are living under.

Trying to show the world the AL or the GCC is ready to lead the region is a goal, but blundering into a war with a nation like Syria who has a partner such as Iran is a wild dream at best.

One concept that worries me is the AL and the GCC and perhaps even Turkey, a NATO member, are convinced that if they start a fight, the rest of the world will have to get involved.

I know this; something is " cooking" with the GCC and the AL.

Very well equipped, very poorly trained military units can easily start an event that spirals out of control in short order.

Here is the point we cannot forget!

The rest of the world, as hard as it tries, may not prevent the AL and or the GCC from doing something disastrous.

Everyone is ecstatic of the EU pipedream of economic turnaround.

I'm afraid that issue is about to take a backseat to other events.
