“(CNN) -- The United States warned Iran to stop providing arms to
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad even as it announced millions of dollars in
non-lethal support for the opposition attempting to oust the government.
“Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton called on Syria's neighbors to take steps to prevent
Iran from using their land and airspace to transport weapons to al-Assad's
forces.
"The
regime's most important lifeline is Iran," Clinton told reporters Friday
at a gathering of the Friends of Syria, an ad hoc group meeting in the shadow
of the U.N. General Assembly.
Clinton's warning followed an admission, according to
Iranian state-run media reports, by the commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard
that its elite Quds Force was operating inside Syria but not involved directly
in military action….”
Cassi Creek:
The sound of
saber rattling echoing back and forth between D. C. and Teheran is becoming
loud enough to be heard outside the Middle East. The U.S. continues to warn Iran about some
behavior it finds unacceptable and Iran continues to send their blithering
idiot of a figurehead out with a message promising the eventual triumph of
Islam while the Revolutionary Guards export hardware and terrorism, and defy
international agencies that seek to prevent the development of an Iranian
nuclear device.
Iran may
never fire a rocket into Israel. It
funds and equips the fools and fanatics of Hamas and Hezbollah, who will
happily carry some sort of suicide device into Israel to detonate. Alternatively, Iran will loan them a rocket
with a biological or chemical warhead, which will somehow wind up being fired
into Israel.
Iran claims
to have no intention of building a nuclear weapon. Much of the Western world knows this to be a
lie. However, the timeline may suggest a
differing view from what the West believes.
It may be that the real danger lies in chemical and biological
warhead. Iran need not even build those,
it can demand and receive all it wants from Syria.
While Syria seems
to be moving its chemical weapons, most built to be used with the Soviet-era
busses common to the Middle Eastern Proxies weaponry that Iran shares, some may
easily become un-accounted for and somehow wind up in the arsenals of Hezbollah
and Hamas.
This is a
very real danger that must be prevented happening.
Despite Ms.
Clinton’s calls for the neighboring Arab states to prevent Syrian atrocities and
to prevent them using their lands to carry out wholesale murders; those
neighboring states will do nothing to prevent escalating warfare in Syria. There is no love lost between the various
Muslim states of the Middle East. They’ll
see each other self-destruct before coming to each other’s aid.
A nation that
embraces suicide and religious fanaticism as weapons delivery systems would
have no scruples against releasing disease or chemical devastation upon its
perceived enemies. Iran has no lack of
Islamic fanatics. And, with Syria
collapsing into tribal and religious fanaticism as the existing regime tries to
retain power a hellish day longer, no one will notice when Iran slips
containers of disease or gaseous death to its proxies. Those proxies will use them on Israeli and
U.S. troops and citizens, pushing past everyone’s previously drawn “red lines.” Syria will take the blame and the initial retaliation. Only later will Iran emerge as the vector and
become the target.
Will the
houris really be there?
