Syrian"opposition" at Arab League. "Requests" US counter SA Airpower

Each day the NATO/GCC/Israeli axis of evil makes another move on their geopolitical chessboard
You know the chessboard that has humanity as the pawns?


First: Opposition takes Syrian seat at Arab League

Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the emir of Qatar, opened the conference on Tuesday by inviting Moaz al-Khatib, the president of the Syrian National Coalition, to take Syria's seat.

Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the emir of Qatar, opened the conference on Tuesday by inviting Moaz al-Khatib, the president of the Syrian National Coalition, to take Syria's seat.

He told the audience of kings, emirs and presidents that he still supports a "political solution" to the crisis in Syria, but one that does not "rewind the clock."

Al Thani also called for setting up a $1bn fund to protect the "Arabness of Jerusalem," though he acknowledged that past promises to aid the Palestinians have gone unfulfilled.

"We are all obligated to work to defend Jerusalem.... the Arab states must swiftly and seriously act," he said, adding that Qatar will contribute $250m to the fund

Moaz al-Khatib sitting at the Arab League? Not Hitto, the Kurd from Texas?
Are we looking at two western ordained leaders for a divided Syria? 
It appears so.

Thani from Qatar: "We are obligated to defend Jerusalem"? : though he acknowledged that past promises to aid the Palestinians have gone unfulfilled.

It would seem, based on past promises by the GCC,  the only pledge to defend Jerusalem will be by allowing Israel to force the Palestinians out of their land.

 Second development: Syrian opposition leader asks U.S. to counter Assad's airpower
There it is, the "no fly zone"!

 Moaz Alkhatib said he had asked U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry for U.S. forces to help defend rebel-controlled northern parts of Syria with Patriot surface-to-air missiles

 The Sunni Muslim cleric took over Syria's vacant chair at the Arab League summit in Doha despite announcing on Sunday that he would step down as leader of the Syrian National Coalition.

Patrolling northern Syria by air, will make Israel's move on Iran that much easier. Recall the 3 possible Israeli flight routes to strike Iran?  Flashback to a few relevant older posts.....


September 2012: Worrisome scenarios? You got'em. Israel, Syria, Iran & Canada

Excerpt below/ PDF available at the above link

 It is possible that Israel will carry out a strike against Iranian Nuclear Facilities, if the U.S. does not, with theobjective of either destroying the program or delaying it for some years. The success of the Strike Mission will be measured by how much of the Enrichment program has it destroyed, or the number of years it has delayed Iranian acquisition of enough Uranium or Plutonium from the Arak reactor to build a nuclear bomb.

• We conclude that a military strike by Israel against Iranian Nuclear Facilities is possible and the optimum route would be along the Syrian-Turkish border then over a small portion of Iraq then into Iran, and back the same route. However, the number of aircraft required, refueling along the way and getting to the targets without being detected or intercepted would be complex and high risk and would lack any assurances that the overall mission will have a high success rate.
