Phony War

 

 

     After reading about the Syrian civil war and briefly blogging about it, I was left wondering why Saudi Arabia and Qatar would be funding Syrian rebels in a civil war. In fact the tiny nation of Qatar has spent 3 billion dollars supporting the rebels. Looking at a map, it is clear that they are separated by hundreds of miles. What could be the link? It turns out that Qatar is the world's leading exporter of liquid natural gas. They have been trying to build a pipeline that would sell lots and lots of natural gas to Europe. This pipeline would cut right through Syria. Standing in their way is the Assad regime who wont allow this to happen. This makes things interesting, it has nothing to do with chemical weapons after all. This is a geopolitical battle.
What does the U.S have to do with this? I haven't figured that out yet, but I'm sure it is politically and economically based somehow. If it wasn't for the 1st Amendment this information would never see the light of day. This is information that you will never see on the mainstream news. This is why Freedom of the press is so important. How many lies and deceptions would never be found out, if not for this freedom? I've learned over the years that there is always more to war than meets the eye. I'm not going to pretend to know all the details nor do I want to. What I know is, if we attack the Assad regime and help the rebels take over the country, this would allow the pipeline to be built. The Obama administration obviously has interests in this that aren't quite clear yet. I will be looking for more answers.- BDB
