Well, it's been rather obvious I've been away from my
opinion postings for over two weeks now, but I'm happy to say I'm back and I've
picked a great topic to come back to!
I'm not going to waste your time or my time talking about
the events leading up to the drive for Western intervention in Syria .
My last post addressed my most simplistic point, and if you
notice, I posted it before the Tsar made his move on the whole issue.
The short answer is this... The Tsar scores a victory, but
what will be his reward?
Ok, back to what I'm convinced is now a far more important
topic.
The news today, outside the US ,
on the topic of Syria
was more than fascinating and in fact, what was announced today was not only a
long time in the making, but it was also completely predictable by those who
know the region.
If you look at some of my older postings on events in Syria you can find time and time again where I
spoke to the issue of so called, Leadership in exile members and the real
fighting force in Syria ...
the Rebels.
As a reminder, the age old saying has not changed; "One
man's freedom fighter is another man's revolutionary/ Terrorist.
Let's cut to the chase.
Many of us have known for over a year now the fighters in Syria were never going to march to the drum of
the social elitist living in high-rise condominiums overlooking the streets of capital
of Turkey !
Again, as a important reminder, just because you eat dinner
and drink fine wine with Western Political power brokers, that doesn't equate
into victory on the true battlefields of Syria .
For months, the storyline was all about how the radial
fighting groups, most of them fundamentalist, were in a real power struggle
with each other and how the Assad regime was going to be able to take advantage
of this infighting.
Most of those who came up with this theory were more worried
about being paid to say it or write it then they were figuring out if it was actually
true!
It was and remains a "picture" the so called
leaders, the ones living in the condos taking a bath every night, continues to
attempt to sell to the rest of the world.
Are the fighting groups in Syria going to hold hands now and
fight as one synchronized organization?
Of course not, but what they are going to do is make it
known the appeasement approach taken by the false leaders of the Syrian
revolution, the fine wine club, will not
have a say so in what takes place on the ground, door to door in Syria.
If you accept this announcement today, you need to ask
yourself, what happened?
What changed?
What event made the "middle of the road" FSA
groups jump ship?
Well, do you think they may have lost hope when the great
Western assault on Assad and Hezbollah didn't take place?
Do you think that
could have been the proverbial, "straw that broke the Camel's back"?
What pushed them off the center of the fence, if they were
ever really there?
Is this announcement today a byproduct of the failed Western
intervention?
Most likely yes!
Now, ask yourself one last question.
Who does this benefit?
Who fills the vacuum?
Who can bee seen as the voice of "reason"... a
voice that takes the opponents into the back room and puts a bullet in the back
of their heads?
Ah yes.... the TSAR!!!!
As soon as this breakaway announcement was given, perhaps
even before, the GCC was hard at work figuring out what needs to be done.
If you live in Iraq
or the Hezbollah side of Lebanon ....keep
your head down...
The GCC knows how to make pull the right strings.
