WITH regime change accomplished in Libya, the focus of Western destabilisation plans will now be concentrated mainly on Syria. Since the middle of this year, senior American officials, including President Barack Obama, have been demanding that President Bashar al-Assad leave office. Washington is openly supporting the opposition, dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood, in its ongoing efforts to topple the government. It has roped in its regional allies – Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Qatar – to keep funds and arms flowing to the Syrian opposition. The objective seems to be to stoke a civil war and then intervene with the tried-and-tested ploy of “humanitarian intervention” or the “right to protect (R2P) doctrine” concocted by the West. In September, a senior officer from the Syrian Army, who had defected to the opposition, resurfaced in Damascus. The officer, Col. Hussein Harmoush, said on Syrian TV that he was “bribed” by the Muslim Brotherhood to defect to Turkey and concoct stories about a serious split emerging in the army. A “Free Syrian Army”, propped up by the West, has been issuing periodic statements from Turkey. Two months before he returned to Syria, Harmoush was claiming that he had defected after being told to shoot at unarmed civilians. A Syria dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood will be hostile to Iran and Hizbollah. It suits the U.S. and Israel to see the Arab and Muslim world split on sectarian lines.
