Syria-Lebanon-Iran
How the US lost its Syrian allies
2013-12-10
As the United States moves forward with a summit it hopes will end the civil war in Syria, the Obama administration finds itself alienated from the opposition forces it tried and failed to cultivate for the last two years.

In turn, the Obama administration has begun reaching out to Syrian rebels who espouse an Islamist agenda and draw support from American allies in the region like Saudi Arabia as opposed to the United States directly.

#3  Its what happens when promised $$$ + arms, etc. to the Rebs = FSA don't arrive, + more importan never e-v-a-r! arrives.

* E.G. RENSE > MIDDLE EAST MONITOR = US REJECTS ASSAD OFFER TO FIGHT AL-QAEDA IN RETURN FOR STAYING POWER.

Apparently, the outcome may yet end up the same ala Bammerika's new anti-Qaeda BFF in Syria-ME IRAN + NUCPROGS???

I still hold that, unless someone does something really stupid, BOTH ASSADIAN SYRIA + OWG CALIPHATE, NUKE-WANNABE SHIA IRAN ARE EFFEC SAFE FROM US ATTACK [Israeli?] UNTIL SUMMER 2014.

IT WOULD BE FOOLISH OF THE BAMMER TO KNOWING VIOLATE HIS OWN "RED LINES" AGZ SYRIA + IRAN IN THE MIDDLE EAST IN DEFERENCE TO A TEMPORARY/INTERIM NUKE DEAL(S) WID BOTH, ONLY TO REJECT THEIR MILITARY AID AGZ AL-QAEDA + OTHER HARDLINE FOREIGN JIHADI = MILTERR GROUPS NOW SETTING UP IN THE REGION.

BUT THEN TO DO THE ABOVE AGZ SYRIA + IRAN WHILE SIMUL LIMITING US SPECOPS + NOT SENDING IN HEAVY US FORCES IN LIEU OF SAME.

P.o.'ing both our Allies as well as Enemies + Protangonists + Non-Aligned - OTOH, COMMUNISM-SOCIALISM IS PROCEEDING NICELY BACK HOME IN CONUS = DOMESTIC AMERIKA.

* TOPIX > [Freerepublic = Town Hall] OBAMA ABANDONS FRIENDLY ALLIES ABROAD IN HOPE OF APPEASING FOES.

* SAME > OBAMA'S "MUNICH" POLICES.

* SAME > [Final Call] FARRAKHAN: SEPARATION, INDEPENDENCE THE ONLY WAY.

"Sole" Sovereign Black America = Black State in North America FKA USA???

Can't blame the AZTLANS = POST-2015 CIVIL WAR HISPANIC SEPARATISTS on this one.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [Press TV] ANALYST: US IN [early = beginning stages] ECONOMIC COLLAPSE AS CHINA, RUSSIA "MOVING AWAY FROM USING THE [US]DOLLAR".
