Obama's decision to commence the attack on Mosul appears to have been made without any real thought to the possible involvement of the PMU and Turkey
President Obama’s decision 14 days ago to approve Iraqi and Peshmerga forces undertaking the liberation of Mosul has well and truly blown up in his face with the news that the Iran funded Shiite Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) have now joined in the attack.
Everything he touches turns to Shiite.
Please, please tell me what is this obsession for both Obama and McCain (and Obama’s adoring press) to get rid of Assad in Syria? Nobody has deigned mention anything about why this is of the utmost interest to the United States. Especially with much worse actors are waiting in the wings (ISIS)
Yes, with all the proof necessary that regime change is not what others would have us believe, why the stupidity continues. Ben Ghazi told me so.
Assad isn’t a nice guy, but the reality of this region is, no nice guy can keep a stable country in this part of the world... Brute force is required to keep the historical factions from killing each other non stop.
Obama’s embracing of the Arab Spring was one of the most stupid and horrible foreign policy decisions in US, if not global, history.
The only reason Egypt isn’t Iran right now, is because Egypt’s own Military fortunately stepped in and stopped the fundamentalist take over of their country. The incompetence, naivete and sheer stupidity of the foreign policy of this administration is unprecidented in US history. Carter was probably a close second, but Obama makes Carter look god-like in comparison.
It’s easy to understand US instigations in Syria.
1. It’s all about helping Qatar & Saudis install a new gas & oil pipeline to the profitable European market.
Assad is opposed to it, because it would threaten the Russian supply pipeline to Europe monopoly. Syria and Russia are long standing allies.
Qatar & Saudis pay our CIA and Special Forces to plan, create, train, fund and supply Al-Nursa / ISIS to rage through Syria killing THOUSANDS with tacit American approval.
American citizens permit this to happen, so we ALL have bloody murder on our hands.
Islamic terrorists of all affiliation are very successful at recruiting Muslims with genuine pictures of our bombing “collateral damage” victims to support jihad against the murderous west.
2. A side benefit from this creative destruction is resulting European social, political, economic disruption will usher in a New World Order governance & currency solution after major economic collapse.
Detached geo-political intrigue for us state side observers.
For Thousands of raped girls, beheaded and burned alive innocents, not so much.
TPTB are right.
Jihad war against the west will never end.
The Oil-Gas War Over Syria (In 4 Maps) | Zero Hedge

“Qatar is a Sunni gas-powerhouse and wants to become the main supplier of gas there, and Saudi Arabia is a Sunni oil-powerhouse, which wants to become the major supplier of oil, but Saudi oil and Qatari gas would be pipelined through secular-controlled (Assad’s) Syria, and this is why the U.S. and its fundamentalist-Sunni allies, the Sauds, and Qataris, are using Al Qaeda and other jihadists to conquer enough of a strip through Syria so that U.S. companies such as Halliburton will be able safely to place pipelines there, to be marketed in Europe by U.S. firms such as Exxon. Iran also wants to pipeline its gas through Syria, and this is one reason why Iran is defending Syria’s government, against the U.S.-Saudi-Qatari-jihadist invasion, which is trying to overthrow and replace Assad.
Here are the most-informative of Anadolu’s war-maps:
The first presents the effort by many countries to eliminate ISIS control over the large Iraqi city of Mosul. A remarkably frank remark made in this map is “An escape corridor into Syria will be left for Daesh [ISIS] so they can vacate Mosul” - an admission that the U.S. - Saudi - Qatari team want the ISIS jihadists who are in Mosul to relocate into Syria to assist the U.S. - Saudi - Qatari effort there to overthrow and replace the Assad government:”
