i read a headline like U.S. cuts Syria's oil lifeline and i think, here we go again. more sanctions. They are already spinning things like: Syria is most likely hiding the WMD's. Syria has been illegally occupying Lebanon. Syria is giving refuge to the enemy. I would guess you are correct. 2nd verse same as the first. I can also imagine that Iraq will remain in a constant state of chaos with the exception of where the major oil wells are. I think there will be countless incidents where those fashionable and trendy explosive vests will be used. It's difficult to imagine how a new government will take hold with the assassination attempts that will be sure to follow. I wonder if the machine running this war wants anything less than chaos. As long as there is conflict there will be excuses to invade or at least fulcrums to provide leverage upon the neighboring countries. Keeping the oil flowing appears to be a top priority. Keeping tension there will probably to be the other. Another thing that I've noticed is that State TV here in the US (a.k.a. Fox News) has been scoring the highest in the 24 hour news game. Their ratings are much higher than MSNBC and CNN. This tells me that we don't seem to be getting any closer to the public seeing this for what it really is. It also tells me that soon we may see CNN and MSNBC reporting their news in a similar fashion in attempt to make up some of the ratings. I don't know how much more of the Neo-Con propaganda I can take? Well at least the weather will be getting nicer so I won't have to watch as much of it. -Clapper
