"Sunni or later Shiite happens."

HA..."I saw what you did there!"

Obama has been sending Egypt money, planes, tanks etc - and then this thing in Syria happens. And, he just got back from the region?

And, a Turkish official met with the Ambassador in Benghazi the night he was killed.

And, all the talk about gunruning.

There are so many bits and pieces.

I have never trusted Obama and I especially do not trust him now.

He is up to something and probably has been for some time. Remember he told the Russian fellow to tell Putin that he would have more "flexibility" after the election.

"Flexibility" on what?

At any rate, I like "Sunni or later Shiite happens".

"The main problem for the Saudis is..."

Whatever their problem is, it will become US problem. Obama will send military even though he is trying to gut the military here.

And what about all of those weapons and ammo being bought up?

To send to M.E.?

Carter couldn't give what Fermi and others refused to build. Perhaps you are thinking of the (perhaps Israeli) high altitude nuclear test over South Africa?

Israel has (according to rumor) several hundred nuclear warheads, perhaps even a thermo warhead or several, but no neutron weapons.

Only China has that type of weapon fully field tested - just ask around in the muslim villages in the western provinces about why they are so peaceful toward the Party and the PLA. They don't want to be sent the message for the third time ...

I doubt the ammo is sent abroad. Much of it is hollow point which is illegal in war time.I think its meant to be used on us.

fellow agent to fellow agent ... shaking head ... can’t be that. Would go with reincarnation before going with first thought, but that flexibility comment makes the mix oh so interesting and the drive bys simply ignore what was said on open mic. If this had been Bu .... never mind.

That bodyguard is facing a long, slow, painful end to his life unless he turned the gun on himself afterwards.

Using google Tanslate:
pdate: According to Arab media www.eltira.org , Bashar al-Assad would have been seriously wounded by gunfire last night Saturday, March 23 by his bodyguard but Iran is not dead. He is currently hospitalized, between life and death, Shami Hospital in Damascus which the streets were closed.

Proprietary information (in France) : According to reports in the Arab press (and then republished in the Israeli press ), information that journalists say they have “verified” the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad was killed this morning by one of his bodyguards. An important safety device has been set up at the hospital in Damascus.

The assassin Boucher Damascus would be his bodyguard Iran, a military officer named Mehdi Jakoby. He was in charge of presidential security and was “offered” by Tehran’s ally Syria.

According to various sources, there are reports of heavy fighting in any armed Damascus. The roads leading to the hospital would be closed.

Syrian TV premises have been abandoned.

If this information had to be officially confirmed, it would be a victory for the Islamists who are fighting for the seizure of power in Syria. No one really knows what will happen tomorrow if Assad is actually dead. Is that Iran will take a step back? Russia will she see red at the loss of his best friend? What about China? And the United States who still pledged this week to put a term “in the coming days,” the regime in Damascus, will they be strong enough to transmit the power to Syrian honest?

Note my tagline. We are carefully fed the information we are supposed to know.

How did they get the entire nation of Iran to be his bodyguard, and why did they give this nation a person's name?

Most likely a bloodbath will follow, before any further resolution of events. The Alawite minority knows its days are numbered under the Islamist elements that run the core of the “opposition”. There may be another surge of Syrian Christians trying to at least maybe get to Christian enclaves in Lebanon as well.

I see nothing in the news about Bashar al-Assad the Syrian leader. There is a report about an assassination attempt against RIAD al-Assad, a rebel leader, though.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2013/03/25/riad-assad-free-syrian-army.html

Was there a mistranslation of the original article?
