For the third time in as many decades the United States is massing soldiers and military assets on the border of a middle eastern country.
The USS Eisenhower, an American aircraft carrier that holds eight fighter bomber squadrons and 8,000 men, arrived at the Syrian coast yesterday in the midst of a heavy storm, indicating US preparation for a potential ground intervention.
While the Obama administration has not announced any sort of American-led military intervention in the war-torn country, the US is now ready to launch such action ?within days??
?If the US decides to intervene militarily in Syria, it now has at its disposal 10,000 fighting men, 17 warships, 70 fighter-bombers, 10 destroyers and frigates and a guided military cruises.
Some of the vessels are also equipped with Aegis missile interceptors to shoot down any missiles Syria might have at hand?
With mainstream reports alleging?Syria is preparing to deploy sarin gas attached to bombs?against rebels and populace areas in the country, the West and its allies is on a war-footing, ready to attack by sea or land:
NATO moved forward Thursday with its plan to place Patriot missiles and troops along Syria?s border with Turkey to protect against potential attacks.
Assad?s regime blasted the move as ?psychological warfare,? saying the new deployment would not deter it from seeking victory over rebels it views as terrorists.
Whether the threat is real or just another WMD psychological operation on the order of Iraq is very quickly becoming irrelevant.
In fact, we may be so close to another mid-eastern war that Syrian President Bashir Al-Assad is emphatically trying to find an?exit:
In a regional tour conducted last week, Syrian Vice-Minister of the Exterior Faisal al-Miqdad delivered requests on behalf of al-Assad to Venezuelan, Cuban, and Ecuadorian authorities.
The letters allegedly enquire into the possibility of asylum for al-Assad, his family, and a tightknit circle of advisors and collaborators.
Venezuelan authorities confirmed that President Hugo Ch?vez had received a letter from al-Assad before travelling to Cuba for continued cancer treatment.
And he?s not the only one trying to get out ahead of what is sure to be a massive bombardment should NATO forces decide to take preemptive action.
With war raging between rebels and the Assad government, thousands of refugees have been getting out of harm?s way since November:
Thousands of Syrians fled their country on Friday in one of the biggest refugee exoduses of the 20-month civil war?
An estimated four million people will need humanitarian aid by early next year when the country is in the grip of winter.
War is coming.
The same ?intelligence? used to persuade Americans to invade Iraq is being used once again to justify intervention in Syria.
Likewise, the media propaganda machine that warned Americans of the dangers of Saddam Hussein?s weapons of mass destruction is blaring the sirens again.
Not much has changed, except that this time those who were against Bush?s war in 2003 are fully in support now that a democrat President says it?s the truth.
