As per the Compact of Free Association Agreement.

VERSUS

* CNN AM > WAR'S TIDE TURNING AGZ ASSAD. [AQ = Al-Nusra-led] UNIFIED REBELS DEGRADING, WINNING AGZ ASSAD'S FORCES.

CNN News footage showed Rebels happily parading in banner-waving vehicle convoys through captured Assad strongholds .

* BHARAT RAKSHAK > ISLAMIST REBELS BATTLE SYRIAN ARMY NEAR ASSAD HOMELAND.

---------------

Not that I believe he will, but presuming that Baby Assad + Regime does indeed fall to the AQ/Nusra-led Rebels, THE USN IN YEMEN + PERSIAN GULF COULD VERY WELL END UP BEING THE MOST IMPORTANT US LINE OF DEFENSE IN THE ME AGZ RISING IRAN.

FYI FALL OF BABY ASSAD = AFAIC JUST ANOTHER REASON FOR THE US-NATO/EU, ETAL. TO SUPPORT PUTIN'S = RUSSIA'S TAKEBACK OF THE CRIMEA.

As the Hard Boyz + Global Jihad begin to spread in Russia + Central Asia, THE RETURN-N-REARMING OF GERMANY PROPER WILL BECOME THAT MUCH MORE IMPORTANT TO THE US-WEST, presuming again that any post-2017 Globalist POTUS successor to Obama continues wid the Bammer's MINIMALIST approach to FP + US-Global Security.
