Will the Syrian Powder-Keg Explode in the coming days?

[Christians4LessGvt]

You have been jabbering about bombing Iran for a really long time.

And President Obama has been "bombing" lots of people for a really long time.
No President in history has used drones to bomb as many people as Obama has!
Obama makes Bush's use of drones to bomb people look like child's play.
But I see....when I advocate bombing enemies it's to be demonized
But when Obama bombs people like nobody else....
(Obama drones have killed thousands of people!)
Well.....that's different! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

Americans are the champion bombers ever since 1944 or thereabout.

So why do we get challenged to bombing contests by so many amateurs?

   There seems to be a serious dearth of wepons and vehicles for the rebellious forces.
    Supposing they are not already full of Al Queda , how much would they owe Al Queda for ammunition and trucks and gas?

Paris: NATO-Arab Syria intervention imminent

DEBKAfile Special Report

December 7, 2012


Joint British-French Albanian Lion Exercise

Sources close to the French Defense Ministry reported Friday, Dec. 7, that a Western-Arab military intervention against the Assad regime is due to begin shortly with the participation of the US, France, Britain, Turkey, Jordan and other anti-Assad Arab nations. debkafile: The reference is to Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar?s special forces.

Our military sources add that the French aircraft carrier Charles De Gaulle carrying a complement of marines is deployed in the Mediterranean, having joined the USS Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group and at least five British warships which are also carrying a large marine force.

In the second and third weeks of November, British and French naval forces, plus 2,600 special ops combatants from both nations, performed landing-and-capture exercises against fortified locations on the coast and mountains of Albania as practice for potential operations against similar terrain in Syria, where the Alawite Mountains loom over the coastal towns of Latakia and Tartus.

The troops landing there would head for the Alawite Mts. to prevent Assad and his loyal units from retreating to his mountain stronghold and fighting on from there - as he plans to do if he is forced to flee Damascus.

French sources told Le Point magazine that the NATO mission for Syria, including the UK and the US, would be modeled on the Western intervention in Libya in 2011. It would combine an aerial blitz with ground action by special forces for destroying Assad?s chemical weapons stocks, his air force and his air defense systems.

===================================================
How does Debkafiles know what Assad plans to do?
I suppose that this MIGHT be an alternative, but is this a tradition in the case of wars in Syria?

It does look like Assad is clearly  doomed.

Assad is probably doomed, but I am very concerned his replacement could be much worse
for the world and for Syrians....in this recent interview he actually seems pretty rational.


Assad to RT: 'I'm not Western puppet - I live and die in Syria' (EXCLUSIVE)

[Xavier_Onassis]

There is nothing that you or me or the US government can do to prevent the situation in Syria from taking its course, except perhaps bribing or assassinating someone deemed to be a danger. And that would have to be done in secret, as Syrians accurately see the US as an Israeli ally.

Assad is an intelligent man,and it seems that he is following the dictates of his mother and others among his father's supporters. I don't think he is a moral person, but I am sure that he thinks he is doing the proper things from his perspective.
