Is America Preparing To Intervene In Syria?



America Preparing Military Intervention In Syria -- RT

Damascus is criticizing the US for sending an envoy to Cairo's Arab League discussions about ending the Assad regime’s crackdown on dissent. London-based political analyst Chris Bambery says the US is preparing for a military intervention in Syria.

­According to Barbery, sanctions against Syria are only the beginning of Western intervention. "The key ally in this enterprise, Turkey, has been involved with the Free Syrian Army – training them, and we know there are also American advisers in those camps in Turkey," he says. And, "when you combine all that – sanctions, diplomatic moves, the involvement with the Free Syrian Army, it begins to create a dynamic that though perhaps the Americans don’t want involvement in the military operation in Syria, they can pull it in that direction.”

My Comment: Arab news organizations are already talking about Turkish and Jordanian "military intervention" in Syria .... two countries that are close allies to the U.S.. But will this result in a U.S. intervention .... hmmm .... my gut is telling me no. But the groundwork for an intervention is being placed, and as the situation in Syria becomes more dire ..... I predict that American/European allies/Arab League/etc.. will quickly push for direct involvement backed by Middle Eastern Arab states and maybe the U.N. ('maybe' is the operational word here).
