The remaining regimes in the middle east are waking up to the fact that as a stand alone nation they are a target to the bankers and Oil merchants.
Libya had a strong central government and was a push over once they had a base in Egypt to slip in paid Al-Queida agents and establish the support bases needed for the anti-government crowds. (like Benghazi)
Syria had Iraq for a point of entry for the insurgents. Problem for the US and other banker directed governments is that Syria and Iran have wet ink mutual defense agreements with Russia dating back to the Jimmy Carter era.
Then in the last few days the UN teams who couldn't be bought off discovered and announced for their own safety that the only users of the Gas was the rebels whom the US and the Bankers are backing.
The Israel bombing I think was a hope on bad intel that there was a sufficient amount of gas in that warehouse to make who owned it unimportant. It seems it ended up like Bill Clinton's African Aspirin Factory escapade.
We are in a mull on how to get a go from the UN the Russians and Chinese won't stop.
The economies of Europe and the US need the conflict of war to take the peoples minds off their dwindling bank accounts and increased loss of freedoms.
When Syria is gone the pipeline out of Iran will be ended since we can control Jordan, and condemn and sweep up Lebanon in a day or so.
Remember when it stops making good sense follow the money.
