Webster G.Tarpley, Ph.D.:The CIA's Fake Arab Spring is Becoming a Long, Hot Summer Of War!

With the previously covert US bombing of Yemen out in the open, the Obama administration is now waging illegal wars against at least five countries: Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Libya, and Yemen. Given Obama's absurd and Orwellian theory that acts of war from the air in the sea do not constitute hostilities under the terms of the War Powers Act, this list may be incomplete, and stealth US attacks may be going on elsewhere as well. As spring turns into summer along the banks of the Potomac, there are signs that Obama's next move may be a trifecta of aggression - an attack on Syria, which would also embroil our US in war with Iran, and with the Hezbollah forces of Lebanon. Or, in his continuing madness, the Obama rampage may strike Pakistan. If you recall, only a few weeks ago, the Chinese government has promised that any nuclear attack against Pakistan will immediately be met with Chinese nuclear missiles! The "Arab Spring" of color revolutions, military coups, and destabilizations is moving inexorably towards a possible world conflagration, whose outlines are already visible. According to military sources speaking on the Alex Jones radio program on June 15, US Special Forces units based at Fort Hood, Texas, have been told to prepare for deployment to Libya no later than July. Also on alert, reportedly for September or October, are the heavy armored units of the First Cavalry Division, currently located in Iraq and Afghanistan, along with other components of the US III Corps at various US bases. Observers point out that US Special Forces have been in Libya since February at the latest. They also note that, while the Libyan destination is highly plausible, some of these units may also find themselves on the way to Yemen, Syria, Iran, or beyond. At the same time, the Russian Foreign Ministry was denouncing the presence of the US Aegis cruiser Monterrey in the Black Sea. The amphibious assault ship USS Bataan and its task force are presently off the coast of Syria. One very plausible explanation for these deployments might be that a US attack on Syria, under the pretext of protecting civilians, is imminent. On June 19, CNN reported a large-scale US Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps military drill, the biggest of its type in history, along much of the American Atlantic coast under the code name of "Exercise Mailed Fist" to be conducted from June 19-24. Supposedly, "The exercise is designed to test the capability of every type of Marine Corps aircraft, including MV-22 Ospreys and F/A 18 Hornets, as well as some Navy ships and Air Force planes," CNN reported. This drill appears designed to train for amphibious landings on the coast of the Mediterranean, as in Libya or Syria!
