Swampyville's - Reading Between the Lines!

Why there's no planned "Freedom Flotilla" to Syria?  

There is no Jewish State there and Syria's Oil shipments to Europe

are declining! In fact, Syria imports more oil than they export! Syria

produced 213 billion cubic feet of natural gas, and is expected to double

its gas production. While some of it is exported, Syria's natural gas

is used in reinjection for oil recovery (more lucrative than natural gas)

and for domestic electricity generation.

It is, of course, less attractive for a "Freedom Flotilla"

for a number of reasons. One is that Syrian security forces are

more likely to blow this flotilla out of the water. Your average

peace activists who might try sailing to the rescue of Syria’s

beleaguered demonstrators are more likely to get obliterated instead

of detained and then repatriated (The way that the Israelis did).  

A “Freedom Flotilla” aiming to draw world attention to Syria might

actually end up striking a blow for freedom, instead of scoring a

propaganda coup. But I'm not holding my breath, "Freedom" is not

what these Flotilla's are all about! The Syrian government has

been in bed with Progressive Nations such as Russia, China, Iran

and India for years!

In that there is no Jewish State to destroy in Syria, dwindling

of oil supplies and that this is mainly a Muslim versus Muslim

(Not Muslim versus Jew), with only 10% of the Syrian population

Christian, there is no "Justification" for a "Freedom Flotilla"

to Syria!

However, another "Freedom Flotilla" is being planned for

the Gaza Strip!

As can be seen by the following media releases, the United Nations

and NATO aren't too anxious to get involved in Syria's problems.  

There's nothing there to exploit!

At least seven Western nations expelled Syrian envoys from their

capitals on Tuesday in a coordinated action against Damascus

spurred by revulsion over the killing of more than 100 civilians

in al-Houla, including many children. (The activists say the

government did it and the government blames it on al-Qaeda

terrorists)

But such moves are (largely symbolic). In New York, where the United

States and its European allies have tried in vain since last year

to persuade Russia and China to back sanctions against Damascus,

the 15-nation Security Council remains deeply split.

There are no signs Russia and China are ready to support tougher

steps at the U.N., despite what happened in al-Houla,” a council

diplomat told Reuters on condition of anonymity.

Russia and China vetoed two resolutions that condemned Damascus

for the bloodshed, though they recently joined the rest of the

council in approving the deployment of (unarmed) military observers

and backing international mediator Kofi Annan's peace plan. The

Annan plan has so far failed to stop the violence.

THE BEST OPTION IS NO OPTION!

"U.S. Ambassador to NATO Ivo Daalder told reporters there were

no plans for a NATO operation in Syria.

NATO forces, operating under the authority of a U.N. Security

Council mandate, enforced a no-fly zone over Libya last year.

The intervention was aimed at preventing Libyan forces from

attacking anti-government demonstrators.

"Unlike Libya, you don't have pockets of the country that can

be protected by civilian protection zones", he was quoted by

CNN as saying. "You've got security forces intermingled with

the population, and that introduction of greater military

intervention from outside or arms to groups within Syria

could further militarize the conflict in a counterproductive way".

Conflict in Syria is ongoing despite an April agreement to

end the hostilities. A team of unarmed U.N. observers is on

the ground in Syria to observe the terms of a fragile cease-fire".

NEVER EXPEND WITHOUT INTEND!
