A Mediterranean Battlefield - Syria

Is the U.S. About to Invade Syria … and Pick a Fight with China and Russia?

Posted on November 23, 2011 by WashingtonsBlog

Is the U.S. Gearing Up for a Syrian War?

CBS reports:
"The U.S. Embassy in Damascus urged its citizens in Syria to depart "immediately," and Turkey's foreign ministry urged Turkish pilgrims to opt for flights to return home from Saudi Arabia to avoid traveling through Syria."
Military analyst Statfor reports (as summarized by Zero Hedge):
For the first time in many months, [the aircraft carrier] CVN 77 George H.W. Bush has left its traditional theater of operations just off the Straits of Hormuz, a critical choke point, where it traditionally accompanies the Stennis, and has parked… right next to Syria.

Zero Hedge noted yesterday that a No-Fly zone over Syria the first concrete step towards war these days may be imminent.

The American People Don't War War … But a Syrian War Was Planned 10 Years Ago

I noted in August:
While the U.S. is doing its best to try to whip up support for a war against Syria (a warplanned at least 10 years ago), a new Rasmussen poll finds:
Just 12% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the United States should get more directly involved in the Syrian crisis, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Sixty-six percent (66%) think the United States should leave the Syrian situation alone.

Are We Picking a Fight with China and Russia?

This is even more dangerous because China has warned the U.S. against attacking Syria, and Russia has reportedly moved warships into Syrian waters to defend Syria from a U.S. attack.
Relations between the U.S. and Russia have degraded recently. See this and this. This is largely due to the U.S. threatening war against any nation which becomes an economic rival.
May cooler heads prevail.
