Just nosey into why things really happen and then how they are dealt with. More often than not it's nothing to do with the spin reported in the media and all to do with backstabbing between two parties, normally the US and it's CIA and whoever they use and then discard, Saddam and Bin Laden being their two biggest mistakes which ultimately they had no choice but to eliminate.

The interesting bit is that it now appears that the USA, Iran and Assad's regime are all on the same side!

Have to say I normally disregard most of your posts as conspiracy rubbish but I agree with you here. All this talk about another US intervention into Iraq shows that in my eyes. They pulled out while the going was good and now they're talking about further action to keep the guys they want in charge in.

What ever happened to the right to self determination...

Yep, a strange twist. All 3 have an interest in stopping the Sunni muslims which predominantly make up the insurgents and who want to remove the Shi'ite lead Government in Iraq.

What an interesting voice conference that would be, Assad, Khamenei and Obama on how to stop the insurgency. Assad in fairness could point the finger at the US and the West once again for creating the increased strength in that insurgency as it has gained that strength from what has happened in Syria which has been backed by the West against Assad.

Perhaps we now know why Obama threatened to bomb Assad's forces, but didn't? Sticks and stones..

If it was all about humanitarianism or any of the other altruistic bo**locks they came out with, why didn't we (US/EU etc.) spend the countless billions we wasted on the war on aid & development for 3rd world countries?
