Spinning Invasions from the Nile to the Euphrates and Beyond by Felicity Arbuthnot http://dissidentvoice.org/2011/11/spinning-invasions-from-the-nile-to-the-euphrates-and-beyond/
As the US and UK lead towards more illegal overthrows, invasions and destruction in Iran and Syria, a political pattern of manipulation and disinformation has become an art form.Now President Assad of Syria is being subject to the same build up – or taking down – with calls for a Libya-style “no fly zone.” Being an independent-minded Arab leader certainly comes with a health warning.On 20th November, Israel’s Defence Minister Ehud Barak commented: “And it’s clear to me that what happened a few weeks ago to Qaddafi… and what happened ultimately to Saddam Hussein, now might await him.”Another day, another “despot”, more chilling alarm calls. Ehud Barak is surely in line for the Nobel Peace Prize.But a decade or so is a long time in politics, especially with Western allies emboldened by a lynching or two..The commitment included freeing the Arab world of Western colonialism.Arguably, the overthrow of the last bastion of this ideal on the road through Damascus would be a powerful Crusaders “victory.”
