If they do nothing else, the air strikes reveal the yawning lack of direction from Barack Obama. Unlike in Libya, he cannot lead this conflict "from behind". To claim that Israel is entitled to act is to say nothing about the regional consequences of those actions. To assume that, with the lightest guidance, events on the ground can be relied on to move towards the rebels, as he desires, now looks more presumptuous than before. If anything, the rebel assault on Damascus has stalled in the face of a series of counteroffensives around the capital and Homs in the north. Could Assad be here in a year's time, after many more massacres and thousands of deaths? There is little to indicate that he will not. Nothing America is doing, or not doing, is preparing for that possibility.

So, after the even more bizarre support shown by The Guardian for Rothschild gopher Mikhail Khordokovsky, if you still had doubts about who controls The Guardian, this editorial should crush those doubts. Netanyahu actively supported Obama's opponent Mitt Romney in last year's US Presidential elections, and I believe Dr Webster Tarpley's take on Benghazi (commentators seem to forget the anti-Isam film released just before the attack and that there was a cull of US military shortly after the attack). Israel did 9/11 to kick off the series of wars we have seen in the Middle East and North Africa as revealed to General Wesley Clark, but by 2007 that plan was moribund, so a new plan involving Saudi Arabia unleashing nasty cutthroat Jihadi terrorist scum onto Libya and Syria was hatched. However, despite killing Gaddafi (but with blatant NATO support) the nasty cutthroat Jihadi terrorist scum have only been able to terrorise the Syrian population, and are getting their al Qaeda butts kicked by the competent Syrian military. Netanyahu needs the USA to join the war...and now.
Hence Israel kills Syrian civilians and chickens but says it was stopping 'game changing' weapons from Iran reaching Hezbollah.
