With sudden shift in Obama Administration “belief” on Syria’s putative chemical weapons use has fueled more speculation about the possibility of a US military intervention in Syria, either through air strikes or an invasion.
But even nations openly backing the rebels in the ongoing Syrian Civil War are balking at the ramifications of US involvement on the rebel side, seeing a US deployment as likely to fuel spillover violence and rising regional sectarianism.
There was a time when the reaction may have been different, but as the war has grown and the rebellion has taken on an increasingly Islamist tone, nations like Jordan and Turkey see a lot more to lose from a US war in Syria. This isn’t a stable region to begin with, and lingering anger at the US occupation of Iraq would come rushing back into view across the Middle East should they move into Syria.
Even Britain seems to be balking at the situation, with reports that Army Chief of Staff Gen. Sir David Richards warning David Cameron that a “limited” intervention in Syria would quickly expand into an all-out war. The warning echoes similar testimony from Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to Congress recently, cautioning them that they “better be damned sure” before they commit the US to any conflicts in Syria.
The meaning by starting this proxy war was to weaken, possibly topple the Syrian government targeting president Bashir Al Assad.., sending in the west last resort.., the jihadist, the Saudis barbarians, Europeans, the Qatari and other form of terrorism didn't help the western militarism regimes not only achieving nothing but creating more enemies to the point that even the west "friends" are getting eggy and questioning their feature…, Look: the government of Syria is still there so as the Bashir Al Assad no matter what you think of the man, one thing is for sure.., sending in these bandits and murderous, the street " imbeciles intellectuals" from Sweden to Paris or London is not going to get the west anywhere, unless west is truly looking for its own destruction by these element of destructions. The time has come for the Neo Liberal either to face the reality and accept the Syrian people pledge.., God, Syria, Bashir Al Assad and nothing more.., or face their own created social enemies at home.
likely to fuel spillover violence and rising regional sectarianism.
It's kind of too late for it already have started.
violence is not "spilling over"….
it is being incited by the US and gulf arabs purposely to open up new fronts against iran. Look at whats happening in Iraq. Soon they will start some internal war in lebanon to get hezbollah occupied one they have a legitimate and strong enough force to fight hezbollah. This is all meant to weaken iran without committing US troops
