President Obama’s upcoming visit to Israel is expected to include the usual hectoring on attacking Iran and some pro-forma US threats to actually do so, but likely no real policy change. Rather, Israeli officials insist, the real focus will be on talking Obama into attacking Syria.
Israel already attacked Syria once in late January, and almost immediately thereafter it was revealed that President Obama “green-lit” the attack, as well as any other attacks Israel might want to launch on Syria.
Of course giving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a green light to attack almost anyone is bound to please him in the near term, but now, his aides say, he feels “left alone” by the green light, since it didn’t include any specific US offers to help with the war they’ve been planning.
Israel’s government is keen to move from the air strikes against Syria to a more full-scale offensive, with the possibility to seizing more Syrian territory as a “buffer zone” being raised, even though Israel already took a buffer zone in 1973 and never gave it back.
The hope among Israeli officials is that any Israeli offensive can include “joint operations” with the US, which would launch rounds of air strikes against the Syrian government’s missile caches. President Obama’s position on Syria has come into question in recent days, but if attacking Syria can be sold as a way for his administration to quiet Israeli officials (temporarily) about attacking Iran, it seems entirely possible they will do so.
So the truth needs to be told or informed by Israel or Saudis or UAE., kind of regimes that needs to lie to survive.., the idea invading Syrian soil is from 1990s.., it has been the fact that USA and EU wanted to militarize and occupy the entire northern part of Persian gulf and Central Asia for a very long time.., for USA and EU Balkan war was a opening to Central Asia.., Afghanistan and later Iraq occupation was following the path lied by Paul Wolfowitz and his gang of neo mafia back in 1990.., now this Israeli regime.., the Saudis, the EU and the demanding.., expecting Obama follow the path and finish it.., so the question is.., is Obama.., the man who got the Nobel peace prize is working for these regime or he is for the people and by the people…?
"Buffer zone" indeed will mean more stolen arab land for more lunatic and fanatic jewish settlers.
Sounds like a reasonable idea. There's just no way the peace-loving government of Israel is looking on this as a chance to just plain grab some more territory. And no, it doesn't look bad that every time they look at another country as the target of a war, they think of America as maybe doing the job for them. I mean, what are friends for?
Once again Uncle Sucker gets to spend lives and money for no reason in the Middle East. How long, how long, oh Catiline, are we going to be suckered into these hells?
The PNAC Plan must be implemented fully:
Iraq (check), Syria, Lebanon, Libya (check), Somalia (check), Sudan (check) & Iran
4 down, 3 to go.
This war against Syria has been an Israeli war from the beginning, using it's American, NATO and "Al Qaida" tools.
I hope the Syrians have the S300 in position and lots of enemy planes are shot.
So do I.
Of course the "spit licking president" is going to go to war for Israel. What's a little bit more
of American blood and money for the CHOSEN PEOPLE?? It can be Syria, Iran, Gaza, etc.
The central reality for the world community is that like the person at the "miracle of the loaves and fishes" who is unhappy because there is no tartar sauce, Israel will never be satisfied. Even if the hand of fate were to grant the Israelis the Eretz Israel of their wildest dreams they would still want something more– and that something more is what all the nations of the world need to be mightily concerned about.
You guys are forgetting RUSSIA and CHINA. This is not going to happen.
