5. No option for "other"
Mon Aug 26, 2013, 10:37 AM
Aug 2013

3 combined outcomes:

1. It will finally complete the check list of ME countries to overthrow that Cheney et al planned when they created PNAC
(Progress for a New American Century) .

2. It will create another Iraq, where the US will install, or try to, another puppet government, but which will not prevent Sunni/Shite fighting.
This will be to the US advantage, as they can label one side " Al-Quaida" and the other side "militants" or whatever
and play and pay both sides, ensuring that the country will remain too destabilzed to resist the takeover of pipelines, gas and oil the Corpocracy has been coveting.

3. It blocks Russia from using the port of Tartous/Tartus, from where Russia has supplied Syria with arms.
Russia is now having to use Beirut ports. ( Blocking Russia and China from the ME is a key part of Brzezinski's
Grand Chessboard, a recommned book.)
