    Tripoli overnight is a war-zone … the army is spread too thin. Or has no control.
    One begins to assume that recent targetting of clerics – in one way or another – is designed to foment trouble, and have the various idiots take to the streets.

      As we mentioned there are conflicting reports about the incident . The investigation is still ongoing.  But regardless whether the convoy stopped or not , would you shoot the  person  at  his  head or neck  or at the tires of the car ?
      The fact that  3 army officers and 19 soldiers were detained   in connection with the killing of the Muslim cleric points to a serious error in Judgement by the army.

        They will have to lay that one out like a CSI crime-show …. but the desired results are already taking place.

    The end result will be that both Lebanon and Syria will have Sunni pro Western governments and Egypt will still be run by the military so pro western as well and Libya has fallen so the whole Mediterranean Sea is a giant NATO lake which will enable the US/NATO to complete the pivot to Asia to confront China with the help of the ASEAN and other allied nations.

    Iran will not be directly attacked but will find itself embroiled in a ethnic/democracy revolt type situation and will be all alone since Iraq will be back in the US fold after being almost completely surrounded by Sunni pro western govt.’s which will enable the Sunni and Kurd’s along with the pro west Shiites to regain control of the Iraqi govt.

    At least I think that is the end goal of all this… but who really knows?
