Israel vs. Iran

Guardian: Reports that Israel has told the US that time is running out for there to be a peaceful solution to the developing Iran nuclear crisis.

Lets Get Real:

One can postulate that Israel might hit Iran without telling the US, in 1981 Israel hit Iraq when it was developing a nuclear plant, in 2007 Israel wanted the US to hit Syria when it was developing a nuclear plant based on a North Korean design, the then US Vice President Dick Cheney wanted to take action but there was no support within the Bush Administration. The question that Israel has to ask does it TRUST President Obama, will STOP Iran getting the bomb, or we he try and force Israel to accept a nuclear armed Iran. Also the timing is important, if Israel hits Iran before November the Oval will have to support the move or face a political backlash from the Israeli lobby in the US, should Israel wait in till after November and Obama wins the Oval might be more critical of Israel, it would have nothing to lose, Obama can not run for 3rd term, thus Israel might face a hostile Oval. Interesting weeks and months ahead folks.

Air Strikes on Aleppo - Syrian Crisis


Telegraph: Reports that the Assad Regime has used fighter jets in the 2nd Syrian City of Aleppo.

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks thousands of innocent people have been force to flee to neighbouring countries such as Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq, while thousands of others have been killed by the Assad Regime, the Regime kills women and children if they are seen as part of the rebels. And what does the UN do, NOTHING, the veto power of Russia and China protects the Assad Regime, and what has President Obama do, the man that likes to kill terrorists with drones, NOTHING, there are whispers that the CIA and the Gulf States are funding the rebels, well folks its not enough, this is Libya all over again but at a larger scale and the prize could be peace in the Middle East. If the Assad Regime is removed it would blunt the power of Iran, weaken the terrorists groups in Lebanon, could allow for a general peace, but the cost is for Oval to act and lead from the front, does President Obama have the backbone to take the lead, topple Assad and blunt Iran and allow a chance of peace in the Middle East.

Turkey vs. Syria - Syrian Crisis


BBC News: Reports that the Free Syria Army has denied a NBC News report that Turkey has given the FSA surface to air missiles.

Lets Get Real:

It would not surprise this blog if the story is true, that Turkey and others are supporting the rebels is an accusation thrown out by the Assad Regime. There have been reports that the US CIA has been supporting the rebels on the border between Syria and Turkey, it can be argued that Oval would not mind if Assad was taken down one way or another, it does not want nightly news broadcasts of the deaths in Syria, it allows the Republicans to undermine a Obama defence, that he is a hawk on Foreign Policy. The recent assassination of those close to Assad was not a tipping point so far, the Assad Regime has hit back hard, this Civil War could take months folks, and the end point could be that the Arab Spring dies in Syria, as long as Russia and Iran keep supporting Assad he has a 7/10 chance of keeping power.
