As France Recalls Ambassador Is A Syrian "Liberation" Imminent
Time for some geopolitical uncertainty to add to Europe's bond yield inferno.According to AP, "France's ambassador to Syria says the government in Paris has ordered him home in the wake of recent attacks against diplomatic missions and a crackdown by Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime. Ambassador Eric Chevallier said by phone Wednesday he "was aware" that he had been ordered back but declined to provide details. He deferred all questions about the reasons to the Foreign Ministry. The ministry declined immediate comment. France, Syria's former colonial ruler, has been increasingly critical of Assad's regime in recent weeks, urging him to step down, pressing for tough international sanctions, and meeting with opposition figures." If this is indeed an indication that a Syrian "liberation" is imminent look for other ambassadors to be quietly pulled. Also, look for Iran to mobilize as any invasion or air campaign against Syria will be perceive as an assault on Iran itself. Or look for "offensive" action by Syria to invoke "retaliation." That would be precisely the false flag that the anti-Iran lobby needs to send WTI into the stratosphere. Then again it is not as if WTI needs any more reasons to surge higher today.

Any relation to oil price spiking lately?
Edit: oops...missed the last sentence there. My bad.
That would be like spiking oil because of something that happens in Afghanistan...... which has no oil. So, yes, probably.
Shit's gettin' Syrius.
Basher Assad. Good WWF persona.
Except that Pres Assad is a gangly spoiled brat child. An Evil manchild is not a good WWF persona, IMHO.
Just remember, he's been groomed for this fall-guy position his whole life.
Shit's gettin' Syrius, coz the situation in the streets and the economy is deteriorating with every minute, hour, day! Sooner or later, whether with or without UN resolution something will have to be done or the 'situation' will result in civil war leading to regional destabilization and then Bibi will have gone wild! And that's the last thing we need now!
No no, Arab spring is finished, time for European winter.
Syria has been at a boiling point for some time now. On a repeated basis Syrians have asked the West to step aside in their domestic matters. Wait until Russia has an opinion...

Did you notice that guy quit doing those strips not too long after Obummer got elected?
Yeah but I loved the t-shirt.
Why would we care about Syria? They barely produce much oil at all.
Begin here:

Go from there... the rabbit hole only goes deeper.
Syria spelled backwards is "Iran".
Nato bombs Syria
Iran helps Syria against Nato
Israel attacks Iran
I laughed so hard my 10 year old awoke from bed to ask me what was so funny.
Because, left untouched, they would serve as a "second front" during the eventual take down of Iran. We are in the second or third act of WWIII....it just doesn't feel like it to us yet.... How many more governments or leaders do we need to see overthrown.... Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, Libya ....warming up Syria and Iran....I'm afraid that once Iran is engaged it will feel like a World War to us....
You forgot Greece and Italy.
That's my thinking too...a "silent" WW is taking place. These countries can no longer be a threat to any allied troops/assets because they have no government. Once the last/enough go down, it will then be time to go after Iran. We need a war, it's the only way out and still keep the ponzi going. Depending on whom takes what sides, a LOT of debt could be magically erased.
Former Saudi intel chief calling Assad departure and warning against an Iran strike.This is the same shiek who ran the iraq awakening movement. The Saudis have been funneling money, comms and weapons from the getgo - using western iraq (which Syria is apparently mined). One sidebar worth considering is the Saudi Crown Prince hiring the former head or Egypt Intel who is very close to the Israelis (Saudi already leaked to be coordinating with israel over Airspace use). Then today haaretz is reporitng the US loading up on 15T bunker busters after last week reportedly selling busters to UAE (4 days later UAE announced major Boeing order?)

Good digging, thanks for sharing.
Because we need a beach head to attack Iran. Take a look at a middle east map : http://www.ezilon.com/maps/middle-east-continent-maps.html
(I think it is a good habit to always look at a map when you here about a new conflict, most of the time we either attack a country for the resources or because the geograhic location is important, for exemple look at Iraq and Afghanistan, Iraq as oild and is located next to Iran. Afghanistan don't have oil but and located right next to Iran and China and they are home to important pipeline route.
Also you can take a look at all the African conflicts and apply the same logic. I assume that they are all caused by either the U-S or China/Russian. I don't think any of them are 100% homemade conflicts.)
Iraq is bordering Iran, but the only way to reach the sea is by the persian golf, wich is totaly vulnerable to Irans anti-ship missles.
Afghanistan is also bordering Iran, but there is no way to reach it by sea and Pakistan is less and less of an ally. There are also Chinese troops in Pakistan. And it's anyone guess how they will react.
Maybe they could try to land from the black sea, but They would be totaly vulnerable to Russia if it decide to act.
So what option do they have left? They could drop materials either in Turkey or Isreal+Jordan+Iraq. But in both case you have Syria right next to them. So you get rid of Syrian and then you are free to send tanks in Iran.
No US land war in Iran. No way.
why exactly?

I'd say that this story from the media arm of The Mossad fits in quite well with this thread.

Ahhh, you beat me to the Debka story, you turd ;-) ... some of the salient points from their posting today:
Hmmm...
What I especially liked was the link to STUNNING UKRAINE WOMEN at the bottom of the article...
I thought the Arab League voted to remove Syria from it's ranks. How do they propose to get monitors into the country?
+ another, thanks TF!
constant war used to increase GDP.
first stage: nuetralize Syria to control Hamas & Hezbollah, helping Israel mollify these groups pre Iran strike.
second stage: turn a blind eye when Israel bombs Iran.
third stage: Regime change, control strait of Hermouth, and oil production.
fourth stage: cheap oil to boost productivity, and GDP, but denying it to BRICS to slow down their growth.
fifth stage: BRICS retaliate. currency wars.
sixth stage: constant war. global totalitarianism.
What happened to signing off with #occupy?
The fact that more ppl rallyed in support of the Penn State coach, than occupywallstreet signifies something.. If only I could find the words...

Given that OWS is an elite funded, divide and conquer tactic (like all of the recent "revolutions") the fact that people are smart enough to avoid these herd movements please me.
As I told my occupying friends. politics is evil, and thus so is your political action. Factional fighting over control of the beast only strengthens it. The true solution is to walk away, and it will die due to your lack of support.
It's as simple as consent of the governed. As long as I retain my free-will, I do not consent. Rulers rule only via violence and coercion.

That would help take my mind off the Euro debt crisis. It's really been bugging me lately.

A Syrian conflict makes the odds of an escalation with Iran a certainty. This wouldn't be as fast and painless as the Iraq war was.
Fast and painless? WTF.
Ask some Iraqis how painless it was, is, and slowly becoming. Or how about plenty of our boys and girls missing limbs up the ying-yang.
Ya, real painless.
50,000 dead US troops, 100,000 injured for life and/or missing limbs, 1,000,000 dead Iraqis...hell if thats painless then WW2 was nothing.
Totally acceptable. After all Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction, no? Or did they...
Japan attacked a valid military target - Pearl Harbour - and the US retalliated with 2 nuclear bombs on civilian targets. Totally acceptable.
A few nuclear bombs on Tehran. Totally acceptable.
USA! USA! USA!
</sarc>
Boys yes. Girls, not so much. Political Correctness is a set of lies agreed upon.
A girl I know of has been trying to get out of the army since shortly after she joined. Still unmarried, she has been pregnant or on maternity leave continuously since she decided she made a mistake. A women can still plead her belly. No tours in Iraq for her. In the long run it would be much cheaper for them to just let her go. As it is, they are paying for the children she keeps having. Last I looked, the military provided wonderful daycare centers. I think her hitch will be up shortly after this one is born. How she plans to support them is beyond me.

"girls" tend to have their own unique set of circumstances to deal with.
We're gonna free the living shit out of the Syrian people.
Ya, they're about to embrace freedom like willfully hugging a bag of pin-pulled grenades.
I have to ask, once again, who is this "we" that you speak of?
The comment had an implied /sarc tag. It's a collectivist joke that "we" do anything. Sorry you missed that.
"We" being the US, in reality, need to keep our fucking noses out of other country's asses. Let Assad do wtf he wants and stay out of it.
And oh yeah, Ron Paul is in 2nd place in both Iowa and New Hampshire, according to latest Bloomberg polls.
Free the people by chaining them to the new central bank interest rate!
plus green arrow...
The pure dose of raw daily comedy on ZH is priceless...
Man when the New World Order makes a play for land, gold and oil it really moves doesnt it? No half a** measures here. They've only just started too. Like Dominoes - the prize is Iran. Once Iran is ensnared Russia and China are encircled. Thing is they do have big balls but Iran, China and Russia are no light weights. Lets see if these guys have the ability to convince ordinary voters all around the world this is a good idea.
V for Vendetta.
nice
Remember Iran has long range missiles in Venezuella, this is no 'over there' war at all. Plus the Hezbolah sleeper cells Iran says they have firmly in place here in US cities...does anyone really doubt that? I dont. Then theres China and Russia who are definitely not going to just sit idly by and let Iran be attacked and toppled...those 2 countries have fairly capable militaries and certainly wont just sit and let themselves be rolled over. Interesting times indeed.
Don't worry SD1... Ron Dog showed us the roadmap... Going into Grenada was like going into Wisconsin... We'll have Venezuela surrounded in zero flat [/sarc off]
This site's pretty understanding & cool about passionate, fiery language. MC. You can say "ass".

Poppycock! How's a Freedom Fighter supposed to be taken seriously if he rides the bus? I don't care what color your revolutionary beret is, or how much the babes dig your badass leather/ninja costume, NObody looks cool waiting for a bus. Not even going overboard with the eyeblack like the really hip jocks do nowdays will help. "We will give our lives to Fight The Man! Oh, and we're gonna need transfer slips for the crosstown express, thanks." Just doesn't work.
The Devil may be behind all this......who knows?
Problem: Millions of unemployed and otherwise disengaged people.
Solution: Wars.
Yep, just like in the 1940's world wars wipe clean the bank record books and the mass unemployed population as well.
keep an eye on israel. when the politicians leave, israelis better GTFO. nukes gonna blow
Syria might, I say might be "hands off" if only because of the Russian naval base there. You know Assad, if attacked, would move elements of his military around that base, one stray tomahawk or slightly off target air strike and suddenly NATO could have some real problems. It wouldn't surprise me if Russia already had Spetsnaz operating inside the country and with the Russians currently clear anti-western stance, they might just welcome the opportunity to give those spec ops forces a crack at NATO in some covert way.
Russia has an anti-western stance? They haven't stopped the west from doing anything in the GWOT.
"anti-western"? soooo easy!
replace it with "skeptical"
Will Assad ask Sarkozy to "step down" for a failed eruo system?
1. Syria is the next 'battle' - it'll be a warmup for Iran.
2. The central banksters Already wiped out 2 Euro leadrs in the las few weeks - time to look to the Middle Eat again.
3. Buy oil futures and then get your politicians to threaten war thereby driving up the $ of oil leading to Profits for the banksters - and they need every dime they can steal.
Syria is to Iran what Alabama is to the US. Important enough to control, not important enough to allow to be destroyed.
So it is the threat of war driving oil up? I thought it was the hope of QE infinity. Well if that was the case stocks would be up as well. The propaganda box always says higer oil is because of a weaker dollar because a weak dollar makes oil less expensive for foriegn buyers. No that doesn't fit because the dollar didn't really fall compared to the past few weeks when oil hit $75. The threat of war with Iran has been in the news for months. There were a ton of stories related to Iran during the time oil dropped to $75. The real answer is that the price of oil is so manipulated that it really doesn't reflect anything other than a trader's need to show a bit of profit on a trade when othr trading sectors are doing poorly. l
The great speculative " short squeeze" , into friday is coming<
Will the stock market keep closing up every day once WWIII officialy kicks off?
"you gotta ask me nicely. You see I can handle the bombs, the death, the need for more of it. What I can't stand is the lack of courtesy." "I'm sorry?" "I said YOU GOTTA ASK ME NICELY YOU PHUCK!"
How about Israel bombing Iran? And of course Syria gets involved. Gas your tanks bitchez!
Syria and Iran have strong mutual defence pacts. If Syria is attacked or err,,,'liberated' Iran will either step in or sit back and watch. If they step in they become a legitimate target by attacking Israel by proxy. If they sit they negate any treaties but that's just cosmetic anyways, the US regularily sells friends and buys enemies. IMO any aid Iran would offer Syria is already in place and you can bet it ain't insignificant. And it even probably has the 'manufactured in U.K.' stamp on it. LOL! On the other hand, it could be a sensationalist ploy only to drive crude up. Who knows?
1 A prophecy against Damascus:
“See, Damascus will no longer be a city
but will become a heap of ruins.
2 The cities of Aroer will be deserted
and left to flocks, which will lie down,
with no one to make them afraid.
3 The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim,
and royal power from Damascus;
the remnant of Aram will be
like the glory of the Israelites,”
declares the LORD Almighty.
4 “In that day the glory of Jacob will fade;
the fat of his body will waste away.
5 It will be as when reapers harvest the standing grain,
gathering the grain in their arms—
as when someone gleans heads of grain
in the Valley of Rephaim.

Not just Damascus
Isaiah 24
1 Behold, the LORD makes the earth empty and makes it waste,
Distorts its surface
And scatters abroad its inhabitants.
2 And it shall be:
As with the people, so with the priest;
As with the servant, so with his master;
As with the maid, so with her mistress;
As with the buyer, so with the seller;
As with the lender, so with the borrower;
As with the creditor, so with the debtor.
3 The land shall be entirely emptied and utterly plundered,
For the LORD has spoken this word.
4 The earth mourns and fades away,
The world languishes and fades away;
The haughty people of the earth languish.
5 The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants,
Because they have transgressed the laws,
Changed the ordinance,
Broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore the curse has devoured the earth,
And those who dwell in it are desolate.
Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned,
And few men are left.
Mmmmmehhh....gotta be careful about relying on biblical prophecy too much. I remember reading Hal Lindsay's 'The Late Great Planet Earth' when I was a kid. Written in 1970, Lindsay used a plethora of bible verse & prophecy - mostly in Daniel, Ezekiel, & Revelations - to make a case that the (re)founding of Israel would be the start of the doomsday clock "within one generation". Within that "one generation" - which Lindsay, giving himself plenty of wriggle room, pegged at 40 years (LOL) - we'd see the rebuilding of the temple; Jesus' comeback tour - based on Daniel 24:32-34 - ; and, of course, the Rapture.
The book's cover suggested the '70's would be the decade of The AntiChrist. Sorry, I don't care HOW much you might hate disco or inbred peckerwood morons, John Travolta & Jimmy Carter don't qualify. Along with a Russian invasion of Israel, and all sorts of other crap that - you know - never happened. He also said the '80's could well be mankind's last decade on earth - a seemingly safe enough wild-ass guess in 1970. To give the guy his due, he DID call for a unified Europe. But he also said it would be a "revival of the Roman Empire", and Italy just ain't doing so hot these days. I doubt their army could form a straight line, much less take Syria. But even being generous and calling him 'right' on that one makes him only about 1 for 10 - much worse than coin-flip random.
None of this has stopped him from cranking out more apocalayptic jive, as well as making his doomology a nice little cottage industry. Just sayin'.
I rely on nothing but my experience.

How they died no one will ever know
They said they would save us as deterrents they would be used
Except they brought destruction to an earth grows no food
No we are gone forever no tombs can hold your names
Lets start a war said maggie one day
