A Mediterranean Battlefield - Syria

[Keith Millea]

A classified report leaked to the Greek Cypriot daily Simerini reveals that the government had received offers of help to dispose of the cargo from the U.S., Britain, France and Germany but refused. Instead, at a meeting between Christofias and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in September 2009, Christofias had assured Assad that the cargo would remain in Cyprus until it could be returned to either Syria or Iran.
According to a cable from the U.S. ambassador in Cyprus, since the election of Christofias in 2008, "we have witnessed an ideologically-motivated attempt to turn back the clock to the heydays of the nonaligned movement. He has publicly praised Fidel Castro, welcomed a new Venezuelan Embassy to Nicosia, lauded Iran, and vilified NATO and the Partnership for Peace."

It sure looks like a good reason for some Western Intel. agency to blow that ammo dump.Christofias certainly has made some enemies....
