A Look Inside The Secret Deal With Saudi Arabia That Unleashed The Syrian Bombing

Tyler Durden's picture




 

For those to whom the recent US campaign against Syria seems a deja vu of last summer's "near-war" attempt to ouster its president Bashar al-Assad, which was stopped in the last minute due to some very forceful Russian intervention and the near breakout of war in the Mediterranean between US and Russian navies, it is because they are. And as a reminder, just like last year, the biggest wildcard in this, and that, direct intervention into sovereign Syrian territory, or as some would call it invasion or even war, was not the US but Saudi Arabia - recall from August of 2013 - "Meet Saudi Arabia's Bandar bin Sultan: The Puppetmaster Behind The Syrian War." Bin Sultan was officially let go shortly after the 2013 campaign to replace Syria's leadership with a more "amenable" regime failed if not unofficially (see below), but Saudi ambitions over Syria remained.

That much is revealed by the WSJ today in a piece exposing the backdoor dealings that the US conducted with Saudi Arabia to get the "green light" to launch its airstrikes against ISIS, or rather, parts of Iraq and Syria. And, not surprising, it is once again Assad whose fate was the bargaining chip to get the Saudis on the US' side, because in order to launch the incursion into Syrian sovereign territory "took months of behind-the-scenes work by the U.S. and Arab leaders, who agreed on the need to cooperate against Islamic State, but not how or when. The process gave the Saudis leverage to extract a fresh U.S. commitment to beef up training for rebels fighting Mr. Assad, whose demise the Saudis still see as a top priority."

In other words, John Kerry came, saw and promised everything he could, up to and including the missing piece of the puzzle - Syria itself on a silver platter - in order to prevent another diplomatic humiliation.

When Mr. Kerry touched down in Jeddah to meet with King Abdullah on Sept. 11, he didn't know for sure what else the Saudis were prepared to do. The Saudis had informed their American counterparts before the visit that they would be ready to commit air power—but only if they were convinced the Americans were serious about a sustained effort in Syria. The Saudis, for their part, weren't sure how far Mr. Obama would be willing to go, according to diplomats.

Said otherwise, the pound of flesh demanded by Saudi Arabia to "bless" US airstrikes and make them appear as an act of some coalition, is the removal of the Assad regime. Why? So that, as we also explained last year, the holdings of the great Qatar natural gas fields can finally make their way onward to Europe, which incidentally is also America's desire - what better way to punish Putin for his recent actions than by crushing the main leverage the Kremlin has over Europe?

But back to the Saudis and how the deal to bomb Syria was cobbled together:

The Americans knew a lot was riding on a Sept. 11 meeting with the king of Saudi Arabia at his summer palace on the Red Sea.

 

A year earlier, King Abdullah had fumed when President Barack Obama called off strikes against the regime of Syria's Bashar al-Assad. This time, the U.S. needed the king's commitment to support a different Syrian mission—against the extremist group Islamic State—knowing there was little hope of assembling an Arab front without it.

 

At the palace, Secretary of State John Kerry requested assistance up to and including air strikes, according to U.S. and Gulf officials. "We will provide any support you need," the king said.

But only after the Saudis got the abovementioned assurances that Assad will fall. And to do that they would have to strongarm Obama:

Wary of a repeat of Mr. Obama's earlier reversal, the Saudis and United Arab Emirates decided on a strategy aimed at making it harder for Mr. Obama to change course. "Whatever they ask for, you say 'yes,'" an adviser to the Gulf bloc said of its strategy. "The goal was not to give them any reason to slow down or back out."

 

Arab participation in the strikes is of more symbolic than military value. The Americans have taken the lead and have dropped far more bombs than their Arab counterparts. But the show of support from a major Sunni state for a campaign against a Sunni militant group, U.S. officials said, made Mr. Obama comfortable with authorizing a campaign he had previously resisted.

To be sure, so far Obama has refrained from directly bombing Assad, it is only a matter of time: "How the alliance fares will depend on how the two sides reconcile their fundamental differences over Syria and other issues. Saudi leaders and members of the moderate Syrian opposition are betting the U.S. could eventually be pulled in the direction of strikes supporting moderate rebel fighters against Mr. Assad in addition to Islamic State. U.S. officials say the administration has no intention of bombing Mr. Assad's forces"... for now.

But why is Saudi Arabia so adamant to remove Assad? Here is the WSJ's take:

For the Saudis, Syria had become a critical frontline in the battle for regional influence with Iran, an Assad ally. As Mr. Assad stepped up his domestic crackdown, the king decided to do whatever was needed to bring the Syrian leader down, Arab diplomats say.

In the last week of August, a U.S. military and State Department delegation flew to Riyadh to lay the ground for a military program to train the moderate Syrian opposition to fight both the Assad regime and Islamic State—something the Saudis have long requested. The U.S. team wanted permission to use Saudi facilities for the training. Top Saudi ministers, after consulting overnight with the king, agreed and offered to foot much of the bill. Mr. Jubeir went to Capitol Hill to pressed key lawmakers to approve legislation authorizing the training.

And once the US once again folded to Saudi demands to attack another sovereign, it was merely a matter of planning:

Hours before the military campaign was set to begin, U.S. officials held a conference call to discuss final preparations. On the call, military officers raised last-minute questions about whether Qatar would take part and whether the countries would make their actions public.

 

Mr. Kerry was staying in a suite on the 34th floor of New York's Waldorf Astoria hotel, where he was meeting leaders attending United Nations gatherings. He called his Gulf counterparts to make sure they were still onboard. They were.

 

The UAE, which some defense officials refer to as "Little Sparta" because of its outsized military strength, had the most robust role. One of the UAE's pilots was a woman. Two of the F-15 pilots were members of the Saudi royal family, including Prince Khaled bin Salman, son of the crown prince. In the third wave of the initial attack, half of the attack airplanes in the sky were from Arab countries.

The best news for Obama: it is now just a matter of time to recreate the same false flag that the Saudi-US alliance pushed so hard on the world in the summer of 2013 to justify the first attempt to remove Assad, and once again get the "sympathy" public cote behind him, naturally with the support of the US media.

But how does one know it is once again nothing but a stage? The following blurb should explain everything:

Saudi players in attendance for the Sept. 11 meeting included Prince Bandar bin Sultan, who as the king's spymaster last year ran afoul of Mr. Kerry over Syria and Iraq policy. U.S. officials interpreted his presence as a sign the king wanted to make sure the court was united, U.S. officials said.

Actually, his presence is a sign that the same puppetmaster who pulled the strings, and failed, in 2013 to remove Assad, and as noted above was at least officially removed from the stage subsequently, is once again the person in charge of the Syrian campaign, only this time unofficially, and this time has Obama entirely wrapped around his finger.

Any vestige of a FSA essentially dies a long time ago. They started out as low IQ, poor brainwashed syrians, or seditious power hungry syrians who got hooked up with Robert Ford's death squads.

 

In the last couple of years obviously it has collapsed. MAny have gone on to be bandits, highwaymen, etc - running checkpoints for money, kidnapping, arms trading. Many more have taken part in the amnesty program where ( paraphrasing ) if you're a syrian and haven't committed atrocities you can come back into the dimension or organized society after a process. There have beenn thousands of people who have done this.

 

It has proven vital in my view ( although on a level distasteful ) to put a massive wedge between the foreign fighters and a "moderate opposition." Now it is as follows, the "political opposition" represents no one, and the FSA name is peddled out when they want something from the west or need press.

Not even close...

the trap for the US is years more (just confirmed by Dempsey, Obama, Abbott, Admiral What'shisface, Brennan etc) taxpayer funding and arming of the proponents of Eretz Israel, including the splitting of Iraq into 3 managaeable chunks. The crISIS actors and KardashiWhorasans (H/T GW) tools are only to get into Syria through the backdoor. After that the ones that are not terminated for their 'service' or 're-educated and reassimilated' a la ex-FSA fighters, will be the second level footsoldiers of the the CIA/Xe/NextGen commanders (ready to re-roll as an instant 'new fear-factory' faction, anywhere, anytime the MISC needs to cash up. Again.).

Tell for me will be if the crISIS actors (or their next 'rebranding/franchise') gets into the Chosen/Promised Land, perhaps through the newly UN-vacated Golan Heights zone. Then all bets off, as the region lights up with the Israel/US/Saud/Qatari (did I miss anyone?) hot kinetic remapping of the resource base there (including delivery corridors). Just searched the Pentagon 'new midEast map' and all this Sabbatean Zionist 'conspiricy theory just popped up. no idea how that happened...http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n2213.cfm)

Providing the 'players' dont kick too much sand in the Ayatollah's faces, or make a landgrab too far, chances are the glass carpark theory can be avoided and the Petro$ will survive (until the Artic melt and methane feedback loop, aided by the highenergy-nuclide Fuku Soup that used to be called the Pacific Ocean, ends life on earth as we knew it - see Enenews and search Guy McPherson or Arctic Ice death spiral).

There's more theory in my overloaded repository if anyone's still reading, but following the advice of other regular postors, time to get out and enjoy real life while it lasts...Thanks so much ZedHeads for the great info, links, ideas, and provocations.

Dear Saudis: If you expect anything President Goebbels says to have a half-life longer than the latest poll, then you are seriously mistaken. Does the word sociopath mean anything to you guys? Everything is always 100% optics driven by polls and the midterm elections; socialist agenda is what matters, not your Saudi royal asses.

All this talk about Saudis leading the war against Syria and Assad is classic misdirection. All the Arab rulers are US vassals. What permission do you need from your servants?

Obama gets his orders directly from Israel. In March 2009, Obama handed over US sovereignty to Israel on a silver platter by giving it access to all data collected by the NSA, including that on Americans, without any legal restrictions. It is no surprise that in the land of the free no politician or editor has dared comment on this treason. The New York Times even refused to even report this story.

If America is at war killing Muslims, it is usually at the behest of Israel. Every other purported reason is a lie.

Muslims are killing muslims. They always have. Unless Islam undergoes a reformation, they always will.

Arabs are vassals because they don't think for themselves. They do not believe in the individual. You do not find original Arab thinkers who are respected by their peers.

As Russia wants to hold Europe hostage, it only makes sense for the Qatar pipeline to push through to Europe. That will right the many wrongs instigated by Russia.

If the Middle East can simply get their heads screwed on straight and progress into the modern ages, everyone would be pleased. If their economies could develop into something sustainable, their people will not need to migrate or kill each other.

When does Russia become more involved in Iraq or Libya or, or.  Russia is even too concerned with US actions to become directly involved in EUkrain.  Russia is drawings it's red line along it's borders.  They will supply those next to them to fight some but not enough to win out.  Russia stopped the EUkrain rebels just when they were ready to push out the Kiev army.  He may have stopped because he was worried what the US would do at that point.

And I think Putin uses the blood of Russia's friends to delay the US/NATO advance and to sap some financial resources.  Putin wants the battle between the US and Russia's friends to last as long as possible and has no intention of actually protecting any of them.  Those who have partnered with Russia on the economic front need to be careful and to have plans for when/if Russia plays these games economically.  Putin will allow Russia's economic friends to suffer economic attack and destruction in the very same way.

China is cautious and studied in it's association with Russia and will take no rash moves in support of Russia.

Why did Putin cancel the sell of Russia's advanced missile systems to Syria and Iran?

Why did Putin stop the EUkrain rebels push just when the rebels were in a position to push the Kiev army out?

Why did Russia abandon Iraq?

Why did Putin abandon Libya?

The US just took control of most of the airspace in Syria.  Bombs are raining and the allies have a plan to finish Assad. 

Syria is Libya now,.  If Putin was going to act before Syria was destroyed he already would have as he would have had a plan of action set up.

If Putin is the great chess player then his inaction was part of his strategy and unforrtunatly for his friends they are just pawns to be sacrificed.

Many said Russia was going to take a stand and prevent Syria from attack, well, it's happened and now it's too late for Russia to stop it.  Iran is in the que.  The opponents of Russia have now see Putin and hot air who will not act unless the fight is within Russia borders.

The military of the US. is used by the international powers to get the job done. The enlisted young men are brainwashed to think they are doing something for their country whatever that means. It is all financed by the power of money created out of thin air and supported by the billions believing in the little strips of paper they have to use to get what they need to survive. 

 Too few understand, and if they do they are powerless to act and or suppressed by the mercenaries doing the dirty deed for those strips of paper. Does that about sum it up?

Steven Sotloff 'beheading':

D Martinez

SEPTEMBER 5, 2014 AT 9:32 PM

Information disseminated about Sotloff by a reporter named Daniel Greenfield who is described as a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, states that:

Beheaded journalist Steve Sotloff had a somewhat interesting bio. Before heading to Libya and Syria, he was a visiting fellow at FDD, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

While much of his reporting from Syria trended toward advocacy, his coverage of Benghazi for Time was mainstream, he did have a worthwhile piece on the threat of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Writing in 2011, Sotloff said that “One group that policymakers should be worried about is the Muslim Brotherhood. The movement has long taken an anti-Western line, supported attacks against Israel and even reached out to Iranian-backed groups.”

From http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/dgreenfield/beheaded-journalist-steven-sotloffs-warning-about-the-muslim-brotherhood/

The Shillman Journalism Fellow is funded by the David Horowitz Freedom Center, found here.

http://www.horowitzfreedomcenter.org/about

What they do, right from their website, seems to be targetting students and disabling media people who disagree with their agenda: The David Horowitz Freedom Center combats the efforts of the radical left and its Islamist allies to destroy American values and disarm this country as it attempts to defend itself in a time of terror. The leftist offensive is most obvious on our nation’s campuses, where the Freedom Center protects students from indoctrination and intimidation and works to give conservative students a place in the marketplace of ideas from which they are otherwise excluded.

and TruthRevolt is our newest program, run by Shillman Senior Fellow Ben Shapiro. Its goal is to unmask leftists in the media for who they are, destroy their credibility with the American Public, and devastate their funding bases.

As for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies that Sotloff was a visiting fellow, they were founded after 911 for very biased purposes.

http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/foundation_for_defense_of_democracies

Founded in the wake of the 9/11 attacks with the goal of pushing an aggressive “war on terror” in the Middle East and a hawkish “pro-Israel” line in Washington, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) is a neoconservative think tank that claims to defend democratic countries from “radical Islamism.” It is the successor organization of a group called EMET, an education initiative founded earlier in 2001 as part of an effort to gain support for Israel’s response to the Palestinian Intifada and to diminish public outcry against Israeli actions .

Board of directors include such notables:

” Paula Dobriansky, an undersecretary of state during the George W. Bush administration; publisher Steve Forbes, a former GOP presidential candidate; former FBI director Louis Freeh; the Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol; Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT); and former National Security Adviser Robert McFarlane. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is a past member, along with the late Jeane Kirkpatrick, Jack Kemp, and Max Kampelman. Its board of directors had a similar makeup. In 2013, members included the Republican House Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), religious right figure Gary Bauer, neoconservative Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer, Reagan-era Pentagon official Richard Perle, and the Wall Street Journal’s Bret Stephens.

Join that with Rita Katz and her destructive, faked videos, and you get a good idea of who we are dealing with.

The choice of Sotloff famiy spokesperson is suspect and leads us back to who is responsible.

http://memoryholeblog.com/2014/09/03/sotloff-family-spokesman-is-media-pundit/

Portion of article, more on site – Another facet of the story calling into question its authenticity is the Sotloff family’s choice for a spokesperson. “The family knows of this horrific tragedy and is grieving privately,” one Barak Barfi told the Miami Herald. “There will be no public comment from the family during this difficult time.”

Barak Barfi is in fact a “research fellow” at the New America Foundation, “where he specializes in Arab and Islamic affairs,” according to New America’s website.[5] Barfi was formerly a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution. In 2011 Mr. Barfi strongly advocated the overthrow of the Muammar Qaddafi government in Libya, and has advanced similar arguments against Syria’s Bashar al-Assad regime.

“Barak Barfi is indeed the spokesperson for the Sotloff family,” New America Foundation media relations representative Jenny Lu Mallamo confirmed to this author in an email response to a September 3 query.

While touting itself as “non-profit” and “non-partisan,” the New America Foundation is in fact a well-heeled think tank and advocacy organization backed by powerful globalist figures and entities including Bill Gates, Google CEO Eric Schmidt, the Ford Foundation, the US Department of State, and the US Agency for International Development.

Barfi works within NAF’s Counterterrorism Strategy Initiative headed up by CNN National Security Analyst Peter Bergen. The author of Manhunt: The Ten-Year Search for Bin Laden—From 9/11 to Abbottabad, Bergen promotes the official myth and state propaganda line concerning bin Laden’s apparent decade-long existence following his reported death in 2001.

Rabbi Terry Bookman speaks after Steven Sotloff's memorial service

"..I said in my eulogy that that area of the world is experiencing cancer, and that the cancer is rampant unless we, we stop it , and maybe part of, part of this will will energise our nation, and the nations of the world, and especially the nations of the Middle East, to realise what it is, that this is not really the true representative of Islam and they have to step up, and join with us. The United States cant do it by itself. We already know that."

By embracing their long held obsession with tyranny, they are showing the rest of the world (which greatly outnumbers and despises them) that maybe a world without them at the apex of the pyramid might be a better one for everyone involved.

That the Wall Street Journal wrote this piece should tell that it is propaganda blame steering away from Qatar and onto Saudi Arabia. The only truth in all this is the needing the Saudi's make it look legitimate. The Sauds threw everyone under the bus with that Russia gambit. Why the fuck would anyone trust them afterwards since if they were willing to do it to the US and Qatar in favor of the Iran/Iraq/Syria Shia gas dominance in the region that they won't do it to them next. Their days are numbered after that stunt. The only leverage they have still is being head of OPEC and the GCC if they didn't okay this the Sauds would have been removed and ISIS or other homegrown Saudi jihadist groups carving up the place for the pipeline routes instead of airstrikes on Syria.

They ain't driving this shitshow they are just doing whatever it takes to stay in power and keep their wealth. Same as it ever was in that part of the world. The only allegiances they have is to their own personal wealth and that can only be maintained by power. It was the only move they could make that didn't violate that precept at this point.

There is only one answer to solving all the problems in the Middle East and that is to invade the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.   This will strangle ISIS of support and their small fighting force can be destroyed within 3 months.  Then all we have to do is open the Eastern Quarter to oil exploration and the world will be on the fast track to peace.  If anyone has a better idea share it, but I don't think so because this is it.

The Saudi Kings and Princes don’t give a shit about ISIS either way. If they did, they would be leading the fight against ISIS in their own backyard and soliciting help from the U.S., not the other way around. The Saudis could give a shit about the barbarianism of ISIS, which is not unlike what goes on in Saudi Arabia too. Would it have any meaning to people in America if the Saudi’s started raising hell with Montana because they put criminals in prison there? Hell, we do that in every U.S. State.

The Saudis see ISIS as a bunch of peasants, not unlike those in their own country, but, lacking a true King to rule them. In other words, a big joke that coincidentally sometimes works to Saudi advantage. They’re perfectly happy to tolerate ISIS and probably enjoy listening to their extreme Sunni Islam mantra as long as they weaken Saudi enemies and don’t directly threaten the Saudi elites themselves.

The Saudi’s are obviously primarily in this anti-ISIS campaign to get at Assad and Syria. It’s a means to an end. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to pay it forward for a little protection from the U.S. in the event ISIS does turn on them directly, particularly if they get an even bigger payoff up front.

Coalition? More like Control-ition, and the Saudi’s are the ones in Control.

"Enter Syria.

Existing as one of the last nations on the face of the earth that has not allowed itself to become subservient to a privately-owned central bank, Syria now finds that national financial independence does not come without the price of presenting oneself as a preferred target for the banking cartels and the nations they control.
All in all, the Syrian banking system largely consists of four state-owned banks and fourteen private banks, mostly foreign banks providing services to the private sector inside Syria. For at least forty years, the state itself has maintained a total monopoly on the Syrian banking system."

The Qatar-Turkey pipeline is a proposed natural gas pipeline running from the Iranian-Qatari South Pars / North Dome Gas-Condensate field field towards Turkey, where it could connect with the Nabucco pipeline to supply European customers as well as Turkey. One route to Turkey is via Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Syria,  and another is through Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq. Syria's rationale for rejecting the Qatar proposal was said to be "to protect the interests of [its] Russian ally, which is Europe's top supplier of natural gas."

In 2012 an analyst cited by Ansa Mediterranean suggested that Qatar's involvement in the Syrian civil war was based in part on its desire to build a pipeline to Turkey through Syria: "The discovery in 2009 of a new gas field near Israel, Lebanon, Cyprus, and Syria opened new possibilities to bypass the Saudi Barrier and to secure a new source of income. Pipelines are in place already in Turkey to receive the gas. Only Al-Assad is in the way. Qatar along with the Turks would like to remove Al-Assad and install the Syrian chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood. It is the best organized political movement in the chaotic society and can block Saudi Arabia's efforts to install a more fanatical Wahhabi based regime. Once the Brotherhood is in power, the Emir's broad connections with Brotherhood groups throughout the region should make it easy for him to find a friendly ear and an open hand in Damascus."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar-Turkey_pipeline

So in the great game, the preferred pipeline route is Saudi Arabia, Jordan (both somewhat stable) and Syria. Russian (and Iranian, i.e. Shia) ally Assad says no, so bye bye Assad.

The South Pars / North Dome field is a natural gas condensate field located in the Persian Gulf. It is the world's largest gas field, shared between Iran and Qatar.  According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the field holds an estimated 1,800 trillion cubic feet (51 trillion cubic metres) of in-situ natural gas and some 50 billion barrels (7.9 billion cubic metres) of natural gas condensates.

The Power of OIL and money over the greenback's hegemonical reign, now knowing its Kairos moment since Lehman default. The tail (of Oil monarchies) now wags the dog (of global power hegemon). 

What the FED and the mad banksta derivative party has done to the money lines of the "hocked into unlimited debt" neo-liberal West only the Sauds can salvage; but at a price.

The West, especially Eurozone, without the USA's and Russia's big-stick military might, is between a rock and a hard place : damned if you dance with Putin, damned if you dance with the Wahhabists as it means more Islamist backlash at home, damned if you dance with Iran as that is another version of obscurantism.

As Us hegemon is now lurching into chronic and unsustainable monetary debt, Saud has the political upper hand to install a Sunni religious reality to counter the Shia hold on regional geo-politics of the Oil patch.

Iran, having survived Saddam's ten year war and subsequent twenty year American fed ostracism, wants to reap its economic rewards by selling ITS gas to Eurozone.

The trade-off now for Eurozone is : Putin vs Sunni monarchies vs Shia Iran, as long term supplier of its hydrocarbon needs. With USA via Nato playing as the ORCHESTRATOR OF EUROPE'S AND ITS OWN FUTURE.

When fossil energy decides the fate of Empires...

We will never leave this conundrum until we find an alternative to fossil fuel; as that is God's natural gift to some regions and curse to other regions. I don't see neo-colonialism and disdain for local "natural rights of indigenous populations" holding the sway even in today's rubble of Iraq/Syria.

Vietnam taught us that lesson as also Afghan. You don't win against a local hostile population unless you use "genocide".

And dat...is what Hitler/Stalin/Mao did.

U.S. troops would enforce peace under Army study

by Rowan Scarborough - The Washington Times September 10,
2001

Edition: 2 Section: A Pages: A1, 9.

But a 68-page paper by the Army School of Advanced Military
Studies (SAMS)...

Of the MOSSAD, the Israeli intelligence service, the SAMS officers say: "Wildcard. Ruthless and cunning. Has capability to target U.S. forces and make it look like a Palestinian/Arab act."

Peter Myers, October 3, 2001:

We are told that the hijackers had only learned to fly Cessnas. They had received Simulator lessons on bigger planes, yet on 9/11 took over the controls of 767s or similar, and expertly flew them into the WTC.

Would we issue a commercial pilot's licence to someone who had
so little training?

This is like saying that someone who had only driven a Corolla, but had simulator lessons for driving a semi-trailer, could take control of a fully-laden semi-trailer and drive it expertly down the highway. How credible is that?

Most likely, by the time the planes were heading for the WTC,
they were being remotely controlled. In that case, no-one on board, not even hijackers, could have prevented the planes being flown into the WTC.

There are 3 sorts of conspiracy theories:

1. The CIA did it, for oil, to consolidate the Anglo-American Empire.



2. Mossad did it - perhaps using Arabs who did not know the overall plan - because Israel wants to expand its borders to fulfil 1 Kings 4:21, Genesis 15:18; Exodus 23:30-31; Deut 11:24; Josh 1:4, and because it wants to build the Third Temple where the Dome of the Rock now stands. These goals require war with Islam - why not get the US to do it for them, using the oil issue as a smokescreen to hide the religious motive?



3. Arabs did it, and the CIA knew about it and let it happen (as
with Pearl Harbor).

I believe that the 2nd type of theory is correct.

Dov Zakheim. Not many Americans know who he is, but they ignore him at their own peril. If for no other reason, a dual
Israeli-American citizen as Comptroller and Chief Financial Officer of the United States Dept. of Defense should raise some
eyebrows. He was also President Bush's senior foreign policy
advisor during the 2000 campaign.

He was Corporate VP1 at System Planning Corporation, a major player in the "Homeland Security" industry. One of the products that SysPlan sells is the Command Transmitter System, a remote control system for planes, boats, missiles and other vehicles2 . It's highly customable and configurable to interface with an almost limitless number of vehicle types.

Many years ago, the Swiss were known as the best mercenaries, fighters for hire.  The only example remaining are the Swiss guards at the Vatican.  To survive they made the transition: to focus on their own country and instead of looking for trouble and killing other people...defense instead of offense.  They have prospered for many years and avoided major conflicts based on this strategy.  War mongering countries that don't transition are doomed.

Ancient cities and a vibrant culture free of religious extremism are being pulverized to dust.  A rich history is being obliterated, never to to be seen or remembered, ever again... and for what?

I am reminded of the line from Henry V, when the dying French nobleman surveys the battlefield at Agincourt and proclaims, "shame, and eternal shame.  Nothing but shame."

Shame on you, United States of America.

Part of the point of physically destroying the 'cradle of human civilisation' (Messopotamia and environs) is 'Tabula Rasa'. Eraze the Slate so that superimposition of the 'new order' is easier. Historically proven. Eg: Burned and sacked libraries of ancient knowledge for centuries. Pagan/pre-christian places of worship replaced with 'new religion' edifices. Remember the looting of the Museum of Baghdad? etc etc.

Theory addemndum: invasion destruction of Iraq and Syria to commandeer/destroy very ancient ancestor 'pre-biblical' artifacts and knowledge. Egyptian, Sumarian and earlier. Think ISIS/Horus/New Dawn etc.  Nazis were onto it, OpPaperclipGladio/Deepstate/NeoNazis are still busy with it. Oil is useful, but the ancient earth knowledge is even more powerful. Think Ark of Covenant or similar. Tesla was onto it. Search Pyramids around the world. And this clip on crop circles is very interesting. Water is the medium, hence the onslaught of the Hydrological cycle (fracking, radionuclides, HAARP, Chemtrails etc). There is much more that we don't know, than we do. Got the feeling we're in the 'make it or break it' phase of post-evolutuionary techromantic Holocene Epoch. H2?.

What secret?  It was secret six weeks ago, though even then it was obvious what needed to get done.  Saudi Arabia is actually coming public with some of their issues.  Maybe this is a good thing.  Maybe not.  I give Obama points for trying.

Am I upset at the US bombing Syria?  Not so much.  Except it's at least a three-sided war and we're backing by far the weakest.  Better if we had bombed Syria majorly six years ago and put in a puppet government like those currently running Egypt and Iraq.  Install democracy with bombs?  Well, we didn't have to bomb Egypt, anyway, of course it's not exactly a democracy either.

It's a mess.  Islam is the religion of messes.  Will that ever change?  That will take some more secret deals with the Saudis.  And Iranians.

President Hassan Rouhani delivered a searing indictment of western governments in a speech in New York saying “Certain intelligence agencies have put blades in the hand of madmen, who now spare no one".

That just about sums up most Middle Eastern states.
