Aw crap.

We now interrupt your regularly scheduled squabbling over stupid shit, with something a bit more important:

and

Arab League backs Syria opposition, calls for peacekeepers



http://news.yahoo.com/lull-homs-shelling-allows-protests-small-exodus-085838907.html

A resolution approved by Arab League ministers meeting in Cairo called for "opening communication channels with the Syrian opposition and providing all forms of political and material support to it." It also urged the Syrian opposition to unite.

("we are going to start arming the rebels" is one possible, and, I think,the intended, interpretation)


----------------------------------------

If Syria collapses, that will make Iran feel much less secure.

Given this and talk about an Israeli strike on Iran, expect some serious diplomatic efforts headed that way.

China and Russia are going to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into solving this mess, and neither seems to have a coherent strategy, IMO.

Aside from the Iranian national lobbing grenades at police in Thailand?

[Winehole23]

I assumed you posted about the embassy bombing in India. My bad for not clicking the link.

[Winehole23]

Aside from the Iranian national lobbing grenades at police in Thailand?This relates to Israel how?

They have what is the best intelligence network in the Middle east. Their survival depends on it.

[ChumpDumper]

They have what is the best intelligence network in the Middle east. Their survival depends on it.Why didn't they just stop that guy from getting all those explosives in the first place?

[Winehole23]

They have what is the best intelligence network in the Middle east. Their survival depends on it.Perhaps. Has Israel given any evidence to back up the claim, or do you just believe it automatically?

:lmao

It was RG's quote of an ABC News article. Not exactly thinkprogress.

I will believe them before most other foreign powers, including our own. Your intent is correct however. They could be blowing smoke.

It was RG's quote of an ABC News article. Not exactly thinkprogress.Was responding to WC, but no evidence was offered in the article, just a fiat assertion. Israel's opinion about what happened is just an opinion until evidence is given to support it.

Do you believe everything that spokesmen say to reputable journalists?
