The possibilities of a Middle East war, between the threats and the facts http://www.voltairenet.org/The-possibilities-of-a-Middle-East



The Israeli papers spoke about the readiness of Netanyahu’s government to address a military strike to Iran while many analysts linked the fabricated American accusations made by Obama’s administration to the Islamic Republic of Iran [1] to such a possible attack through the creation of a climate of tensions between Riyadh and Tehran. Such a climate would then be exploited to ensure Saudi facilitations to the Israeli warplanes to target the Iranian nuclear facilities. Some are connecting these scenarios to the missile shield installed in Turkey to preempt a possible Iranian response which the Americans and the Israelis know will be conducted through heavy missile attacks targeting the Israeli depth.




Some are going even further by expecting the opening of the Syria, Lebanon and Gaza fronts and Iran’s bombardment of the American military bases in the Gulf. The announcement made by American President Barack Obama regarding the full withdrawal of the American occupation forces from Iraq by the end of the year enhanced the belief in the ranks of some experts regarding the fact that the US is vacating the scene for a major regional war, thus preventing the Iraqi forces allied with Iran and the Revolutionary Guard’s special units from targeting the American troops.




News analysis: What is happening in the real Syria?

The Syrian national state is continuing to pursue and dismantle the armed gangs and militias affiliated with the Syrian opposition movements and especially the Istanbul transitional council which announced once again its rejection of dialogue after its wagers on foreign military intervention in the country recently mounted. The protests organized by the supporters of the Syrian opposition movements have retreated, despite the insistence of the forces activating the plan against Syria to establish a fictive media image revealing the existence of protests and demonstrations being deterred by the Syrian forces by use of arms.




It is no longer possible to accept the claims saying that a popular rebellion and revolution is being organized by the opposition movements in Syria as it is no longer acceptable to see claims saying that a spontaneous popular uprising is sweeping Syria, considering that the European centers supporting the opposition movements and the Western intelligence apparatuses are in agreement over the fact that the number of the Friday demonstrators throughout Syria ranged between four thousand on “the international protection day” and twenty six thousands on the “transitional council day”. 





This means that the Syrian opposition movements’ ability to mobilize the Syrian people against the Syrian authorities does not exceed 4,000 out of 23 million at the level of requesting foreign intervention and 26,000 out of 23 million at the level of the toppling of the regime.
